Naren said they deliberately left the Laconia plot hanging so that if someone else decides to continue the show, they would have a plot thread to start with because there's quite a bit of the story left.
Ty Franck (the writer of the books and one of the producers) said that The Expanse has always struggled on cable, but pulls top number on streaming services. He says that this is one of the struggles of the show - it has a hard time attracting viewers, but once it gets them, they're hardcore supporters of the show.
This is my favorite series of all time, it is a shame it is not more recognized. It is simply an amazing adaptation of great source material. Books 7-9 truly bring the story full circle. My understanding is that the creators are contractually limited to bring the series to completion (Amazon has the rights for while, Alcon has rights, etc.), but it is a hot potato that will not be forgotten. It will take a minute, but I fully expect to see more Expanse in the future.
@@gerardlacroix6015 I don’t love that the final season was limited, and I wish I had another season of good times, but honestly getting mad at Amazon on this is probably not productive. I have gleamed every bit of what I can re: Expanse,. and I think it is a matter of negotiation at this point. Alcon has rights, Amz has rights, and we are a fan base. Be patient, but loud:)
From what I've heard, there's no budget for seasons 7-9. The showrunners and actors would like to, but it's one of those "wouldn't it be nice" things. Besides, even ignoring the 30 year time gap, the last three books get _weird_
As one of the OG's who constantly commented that you should react to The Expanse, I'm very happy you guys started and love how much you love and enjoy the show. I strongly recommend reading the books if you have time. On a separate note, this finale was amazing and holy crap the dialog written for Holden and Drummer in that negotiating post-War (for the Transport Union President role) is ELITE tier. It gave me goosebumps it was so good.
steven strait said something about this episode that always stuck with me: Holden starts the show rejecting a job offer out of immaturity, and ends the show rejecting a job offer out of maturity
They definitely included the Laconia stuff as a way for them to continue the story if they could get someone else to pick up the show. I'm honestly in two minds as to whether I want them to continue it though as what comes after in the books is quite different. On the other hand we'll never get to see one of the most bad ass moments of the entire book series.
I remember having The Expanse recommended to me years ago, but since I was catching up on Star Trek: TNG at the time, I never got around to it. When season 4 was being promoted on Amazon, it clicked that I had been recommended the show before, so I decided to give it a go. And I am so glad I did! One of the best binge watches I have ever done, for the series that I can now say is not just my favourite sci-fi show of all time, but my favourite show of all time, period. The visuals, the characters, the plot, the relevance to our present world, the dialogue, all contributed to make this an all-around epic masterpiece! Also want to commend the brilliant reactions! Love how committed y’all were to this show and not holding back on your emotions, your theories, and your thoughts. It was great getting to relive the show with y’all! Finally, I definitely need to know what’s happening next, so now that the series is over, I will be diving into the books once I’m able to buy them!
the actress Cara Gee made that shit her own. Once the writers realized she could carry it they made a new character that transitioned from short cut filler role into a new grounded character
For anyone who feels compelled to go read the books, I highly recommend the audio books narrated by Jefferson Mays. They are fantastic and it's a super convenient way to consume the books
And you could start with book 7 if you want. There is enough of a break in the narrative that it’s similar to starting a new series. You have to be prepped for the alternative history of the books (people still alive who died in the series, people who died but in a different way, slightly different sets of facts, etc.)
Ty and Daniel showed every other show out there than main characters don't have to die to make a good season finale. They did give us a situation where it looked like they were going to die. Naomi clicking the button knowing it would kill her son is what one of the hard-core badassaries scene I have seen, I love how they gave us a mother that even though she loved her son, she thought of the greater good first. This season finale made me cry for 10 different reasons
My favorite show of the last decade or more, one of the best shows of all time, IMO, and they managed to stick the landing. I wish we could have gotten seasons 7-9, but this was a great ending if we had to stop here. Maybe they will come back one day, and I'll be right there for it, and I know y'all will too. Very much enjoyed the reaction series, it's actually what brought me to your channel! The Expanse is what got me into watching reactions in general, I just love the show so much and have run out of friends to introduce it to so I enjoy seeing strangers' reactions too.
Just binged this whole react playlist, it was fun to relive the show again with the Normies. That was like a 5 year journey for y'all. Good vibes. Whenever I have nothing new to watch I just rewatch this. If any Normie admin reads this, yo. Some of your react playlists, like this one, are missing episodes or have them out of order. I know HotD and The Expanse for sure, but also Andor and Arcane I think as well. Not a big deal to just go find them but kinda defeats the purpose of a playlist.
Started watching the series during early Covid. Now after watching the final season i am just happy & sad at the same time. It was a wonderful journey.
When you rewatch it, you may notice that it was a setup between Holden and Drummer to steer them to that conclusion. It was the only way to maneuver to get Drummer in the position.
Highly recommend the books, and you definitely should start from the beginning, as Micky said there are significant differences. People that die in one and not in the other, people that don't even exist in one or the other. They combine multiple story lines or personalities in some cases. The major plot points are the same/similar but you would be really confused if you don't start from the beginning.
I've been privileged to be along for the ride for three of the greatest shows ever made with the Normies crew: Mr. Robot, Dragonball Z Abridged, and now The Expanse. It has been an honor to watch this show (on my own, gotta support the official release) and then watch your reaction to it. It has been a ride, boss mang. Salud!
I just did a rewatch of the entire show, and I still feel owed so now I am going through a rewatch of the reactions and I have to say yours are one of the best out there, I love seeing your love and reactions to this spectacular show.
Sad the Expanse journey is over (hopefully only for now), but I really enjoyed this reaction. The editing was great! Looking forward to the book club and podcast!
Thank you for your Expanse reactions. I've enjoyed them so much! I think particularly this one. I waited three days after the finale aired before I watched it because I didn't want it to end, then I cried through most of it due to the excitement and just plain awesomeness it brought me. The characters are so real to me now and it's really hard to let go of them. If I had to pick a favorite, I sincerely couldn't. But I do feel that if more of us were like Holden, the world would be a much better place. I'm almost done reading the 9th book, Leviathan Falls. God help me.
Small trivia, all the names of the people participating in that railgun battle are references to othe SciFi properties, like commander Shepard from Mass Effect or Ripley from Aliens
To be fair, the books were already written for the Expanse and the book writers worked closely with the show runners throughout the series. Game of Thrones on the other hand had no source material to base of off. And George RR Martin stopped working on the show after the 4th season. He did so he could focus on finishing the 6th book, but obviously that didn't happen.
Such an amazing show. I also hope someday it comes back in some shape or form to finish the story from the other books. Thank you for this amazing journey, Normies!
It's funny how Suraj realizes that Marco isn't on the ship that gets hit because they're not showing him but totally misses the (imo) way more obvious tell that Filip is still alive for the same reasons.
I have been with the Normies since you started The Expanse. You were my first reactors and I loved every minute of every episode! I went through the cancellation with you and the resurrection. Thank you so much for helping all of us get through some tough times, especially these last two years! If I ever get nostalgic, I go back and watch the earlier reactions (Especially S3 but S1 is special too) because it was so much fun with you. Namaste and carry on!! (and read the books!!)
Have you all thought about reaching out to the podcast "Ty and That Guy" or have they reached out to you at all? If not, one of the "eight people who listen to it" (as Ty and Wes put it) should make a recommendation to them of doing an episode talking about the fandom and reaction videos, and maybe bring Rana and Mickey on as guests.
I love how after all the action in this show the finale moment that had everyone screaming and Rana jumping out of her seat is a job position announcement of a press conference...
Hard to believe this is the end. Possibly my favorite show ever. Definitely my favorite fandom. Expanse fans are THE BEST. I remember watching your reactions on Syfy where you had to wait through commercials, LOL. I remember those save the expanse days, signing the petitions, watching the show on two different formats to try to improve their numbers in some small way. I hope the rest of the books get adapted in some form. I would just read them now but I'm afraid to start because I think something might get made. It's been a hell of a ride, glad I could take it with you guys. Peak television!
Seriously if you actually listen to what is being said in the beginning you would not be assuming that Xan is just going to attack and kill. Every thing he said showed that he has concern for his sister still, and still wants affection from his parents. He got sliced and you guys just can't stop yourselves from thinking he is only dangerous.
7:38 I did that as well for this episode. Just cranked up the volume and sat back with my eyes closed. Masterful series, awesome music. Also. that shot of the Pella dropping its disguise, damn, like a T-Rex in sheep's clothing.
We've come a long way, guys. Started watching you reacting to Expanse just before the Amazon campaign and now we're here. It's been a hell of a time, y'all.
You guys have always been my favorite Expanse reactors. I will miss your vids. I think that in time the show will continue so I will stay subscribed. Oh, watch the end credits all the way through!
There's a 30 year gap between book 6 and 7. Laconia arc is the main focus of books 7-9. They have the protomolecule sample, the scientist, and the ability to manufacture state of the art railguns and god knows what else based on PM tech. What do you think they're going to do for 30 years behind their locked door?
THE EXPANSE Continues In The DRAGON TOOTH Graphic Novels! Pre-order the all-new story, overseen by James S.A. Corey, set in the aftermath of Season 6 and before the events of the 7th novel!
Name a more satisfying show ending! 3 more books after this one finishes, I'm 3/4 through book 7, there's a bit of a time jump but that's where we find out about Laconia.
That's so funny you said that about sitting on a series finale Mickey cuz I've been putting off watching everyone's reactions to keep that feeling alive 😅❤
Oh, guys. Books 7, 8 and 9. Just do it. If we do get another 3 seasons, reading the books first won't spoil it. I promise. Book 8 is ridiculously good. Made me laugh, scream and cry...sometimes all at the same time. I had to put it down for a minute a couple of times and give myself a moment to recover.
I just finished the show and wow, what a ride! My only qualm in the last episode is making Bobbie their new pilot. Pilots, like Alex usually stays on the ship and with Bobbie's combat experience, and this crew's penchant for trouble, they need her on the ground. But then what other use can they have her on the ship?
Wow a wonderful ride, that doesn't get old no matter how many times I go on it. I can only hope that they adapt books 7-9 soon, so the show watches can experience the final story.
The best thing to ever grace a screen tv or movie has ended for now, it was a glorious ride watching you all react to it! Until someone picks the show up for the last three books....Oyedeng Beltalowda
You can totally dive into Book 7 after this, you don't have to read Books 1-6 to know what's going on. The differences between the books and the series were pretty much smoothed out by this point. The only major difference is that Alex is still alive in the books. Book 7 opens 20 or 30 years later, and Drummer is still President of the Transport Union, just like we see her at the end of this episode. Apart from a few throwaway remarks (like, Fred Johnson died in the books from stroking out rather than a gunshot), it flows pretty smoothly from where the show left off.
I loved watching along with you guys! I’m sad it’s over and I hope we don’t have to wait too long for it’s successor series. Also i hope you find a new show to watch with Mikey!
I could be wrong but I believe the current information we have and community assumption is that had The Expanse continued on Amazon it would have had a reduced budget and the actors (and even the cut that Alcon gets) wouldn't be getting paid nearly enough to warrant continuing. They had a natural stopping point and they said that when working with Amazon since Amazon saved them. The assumption now is that they will at some point shop the show or more likely multiple movies around to get a good budget and fair pay so they can finish up the rest of the adaptation for the fans and for the profit.
It kind of sets up for the creators to make a spin off to go over what happens in between and come back later once the characters age 10 years or more.
What an incredible season finale this was. I really enjoyed watching your reactions to it. I don't really know anyone else who watches the show so it allowed me to enjoy it with other people. :)
Literally watched all 6 seasons for the 1st time in less than a week. I couldn't stop. How they could cancel this is crazy. Bes SIfy I've ever seen. Why I am here now lol
I heard the show is just on a self-imposed hiatus. And when it comes to being wiped away by the unknown aliens, I seem to recall the books describing it as a subatomic deconstruction. So that's death in my book. 🤷🏼♂️
The Expanse episode 7-9 20-30 years later I'm disappointed y'all didn't think of that immediately... Chris this is why blind Wave defeated you... Anyways I just finished expanse yesterday love you guys so much I watch more shows about yall
I have skipped out on so many series finales and final seasons I have lost count of the shows I need to finish. The Americans, Orphan Black, Sons of Anarchy, Mr Robot, Outlanders and True Blood...just to name a few I thought of off the top. I really do feel a sense of loss at these times. *I wished I had skipped the final season of GoT...maybe I would still like rewatching the earlier seasons if I had.---it ruined it all for me*
Naren said they deliberately left the Laconia plot hanging so that if someone else decides to continue the show, they would have a plot thread to start with because there's quite a bit of the story left.
Thank you for that information. 👍🏿
Literally take my whole wallet. I'd throw money at whoever would make more of the expanse
The second part of the book series is as big if not bigger then what they portrayed in the TV series. There's a lot more to be told.
Ty Franck (the writer of the books and one of the producers) said that The Expanse has always struggled on cable, but pulls top number on streaming services. He says that this is one of the struggles of the show - it has a hard time attracting viewers, but once it gets them, they're hardcore supporters of the show.

Yes to all you said. The expanse is an all around great show
Thanks for the bath of nostalgia with that opening. ☺
the actress Cara Gee made that shit her own. Once the writers realized she could carry it they made a new character that transitioned from short cut filler role into a new grounded character

Go back and look at the names of the soldiers dropping with Amos and Bobbie.
Ty and Daniel showed every other show out there than main characters don't have to die to make a good season finale. They did give us a situation where it looked like they were going to die.
Naomi clicking the button knowing it would kill her son is what one of the hard-core badassaries scene I have seen, I love how they gave us a mother that even though she loved her son, she thought of the greater good first.
This season finale made me cry for 10 different reasons
Had my doubts, that they were leaving too much stuff to tie up in the finale, but they really brought it home!
"That's like... space." hahahaha
My favorite show of the last decade or more, one of the best shows of all time, IMO, and they managed to stick the landing.

"What's wrong with Cara" made me laugh out loud.
And poor Xan.
Drummer's character arc is so great! I love how they wrote her, and how Cara Gee acted it out.
Nikki & Steve, Mary Cherry, Kat and Sonny and The Normies, your top The Expanse reactors. It's been a ride y'all....
In case you're interested, *LM Reactions* just started. I think they just released episode 3 on UA-cam today. 🚀
Mary cherry is great, very genuine reactions

Started watching the series during early Covid. Now after watching the final season i am just happy & sad at the same time. It was a wonderful journey.
When you rewatch it, you may notice that it was a setup between Holden and Drummer to steer them to that conclusion. It was the only way to maneuver to get Drummer in the position.

To be fair, the books were already written for the Expanse and the book writers worked closely with the show runners throughout the series.

@@maplenerd22 while true it doesn't excuse the drop in quality.
Such an amazing show. I also hope someday it comes back in some shape or form to finish the story from the other books.

That’s like, space
It's funny how Suraj realizes that Marco isn't on the ship that gets hit because they're not showing him but totally misses the (imo) way more obvious tell that Filip is still alive for the same reasons.

A great ending. It tied up most of the loose ends and left just enough that the door is open for more.
Thank you for reacting to this series! It's been a journey, and you've made me feel much less alone in a lonely time.
The edit of this reaction was fire!! Loved watching you guys finishing out the show with so much excitement!
This video reminds me how much I love the characters (esp such strong women!!) and how much I miss this incredibly criminally underrated series!
Have you all thought about reaching out to the podcast "Ty and That Guy" or have they reached out to you at all?

I am so thrilled to have been an audience member, a small part of your journey with this show.
All the love to The Normies.
There's a petition started by Dylan Skie to get Sleeping Giant to release S5 and S6's soundtrack. Please look it up and support it if you can.
Of all the reaction channels I've seen, you guys were the first to cover this show. It's been such a fun ride. Thank you Normies!
I love how after all the action in this show the finale moment that had everyone screaming and Rana jumping out of her seat is a job position announcement of a press conference...
Anyone else notice that the series is bookended with the destruction of ice-hauling ships?
Hard to believe this is the end. Possibly my favorite show ever. Definitely my favorite fandom. Expanse fans are THE BEST.

We've come a long way, guys. Started watching you reacting to Expanse just before the Amazon campaign and now we're here. It's been a hell of a time, y'all.
100% there is no way they made it like this with an intention never to continue it. I'll match Chris for $150 that we get Laconia in do time.
You guys have always been my favorite Expanse reactors. I will miss your vids. I think that in time the show will continue so I will stay subscribed. Oh, watch the end credits all the way through!
Whoever edited these Expanse reactions. *chef's kiss*
See you in the Space Bar guys
GUYS!!! Don’t forget, Telltale is making an interactive game of this show!!!!!
There's a 30 year gap between book 6 and 7. Laconia arc is the main focus of books 7-9. They have the protomolecule sample, the scientist, and the ability to manufacture state of the art railguns and god knows what else based on PM tech. What do you think they're going to do for 30 years behind their locked door?

THE EXPANSE Continues In The DRAGON TOOTH Graphic Novels!
Pre-order the all-new story, overseen by James S.A. Corey, set in the aftermath of Season 6 and before the events of the 7th novel!
Watching this series was time well spent.
Now , during the wait for the next step for the Expanse. Just know that there is a reboot Babylon 5 coming up :)
hopefully, although CW is going through some management/ownership changes at the moment which might cause issues with the reboot :(
You guys should react to the series "Farscape" its another incredible Sci-fi series, which is very criminally underrated in my opinion.
Hopefully you get to react to book 7-9 someday. If you want another sci fi show, definitely check out battlestar galactica.
18:14 The Second Battle of Medina Station was *EPIC* ! We basically got D-Day in space!
Name a more satisfying show ending!
3 more books after this one finishes, I'm 3/4 through book 7, there's a bit of a time jump but that's where we find out about Laconia.
My niece felt pain when she was shot in the head…thank God she still here… ❤
20:31 that shot was not just one if not the most glorious shot of the roci in the entire show, but probably one of the best of scifi i have even seen
What a journey....
That's so funny you said that about sitting on a series finale Mickey cuz I've been putting off watching everyone's reactions to keep that feeling alive 😅❤
Oh, guys. Books 7, 8 and 9. Just do it. If we do get another 3 seasons, reading the books first won't spoil it. I promise. Book 8 is ridiculously good. Made me laugh, scream and cry...sometimes all at the same time. I had to put it down for a minute a couple of times and give myself a moment to recover.
I just finished the show and wow, what a ride! My only qualm in the last episode is making Bobbie their new pilot. Pilots, like Alex usually stays on the ship and with Bobbie's combat experience, and this crew's penchant for trouble, they need her on the ground. But then what other use can they have her on the ship?
Wow a wonderful ride, that doesn't get old no matter how many times I go on it.
I can only hope that they adapt books 7-9 soon, so the show watches can experience the final story.
thank you chris its these terrible parents fault
The best thing to ever grace a screen tv or movie has ended for now, it was a glorious ride watching you all react to it! Until someone picks the show up for the last three books....Oyedeng Beltalowda
This season so needed a full 10 episodes!!
Marco chewed five gum and was consumed by flavor.
You can totally dive into Book 7 after this, you don't have to read Books 1-6 to know what's going on. The differences between the books and the series were pretty much smoothed out by this point. The only major difference is that Alex is still alive in the books. Book 7 opens 20 or 30 years later, and Drummer is still President of the Transport Union, just like we see her at the end of this episode. Apart from a few throwaway remarks (like, Fred Johnson died in the books from stroking out rather than a gunshot), it flows pretty smoothly from where the show left off.
GUYS! WATCH THE END CREDITS! they are significant.
Love this show, hope someone picks it up in the future
I loved watching along with you guys! I’m sad it’s over and I hope we don’t have to wait too long for it’s successor series.
Also i hope you find a new show to watch with Mikey!
I could be wrong but I believe the current information we have and community assumption is that had The Expanse continued on Amazon it would have had a reduced budget and the actors (and even the cut that Alcon gets) wouldn't be getting paid nearly enough to warrant continuing. They had a natural stopping point and they said that when working with Amazon since Amazon saved them. The assumption now is that they will at some point shop the show or more likely multiple movies around to get a good budget and fair pay so they can finish up the rest of the adaptation for the fans and for the profit.
There is like a 30 year time jump between Babylons Ashes and the next book when it picks up
It kind of sets up for the creators to make a spin off to go over what happens in between and come back later once the characters age 10 years or more.
What an incredible season finale this was. I really enjoyed watching your reactions to it. I don't really know anyone else who watches the show so it allowed me to enjoy it with other people. :)
The last three books take place about 30 years after the 6th book.
Are you kidding me? I just finished this series today!
Hey y'all you should read STRANGE DOGS, a novella about Cara and her brother and Duarte on Laconia.
(immortal)
Literally watched all 6 seasons for the 1st time in less than a week. I couldn't stop. How they could cancel this is crazy. Bes SIfy I've ever seen. Why I am here now lol
Look up the julie-v Lego Rocinante and other Expanse designs on rebrickable. Built the black s4 version and it looks awesome!
I also agree it is absolutely coming back, but they’ll be calling it something else. 100% sure
I heard the show is just on a self-imposed hiatus. And when it comes to being wiped away by the unknown aliens, I seem to recall the books describing it as a subatomic deconstruction. So that's death in my book. 🤷🏼♂️
you guys should definitely react to “all of us are dead” a zombie apocalypse netflix show.
I still haven’t finished the series finale of Space Brothers (Anime). I absolutely loved that show 🔥
The Expanse episode 7-9 20-30 years later I'm disappointed y'all didn't think of that immediately... Chris this is why blind Wave defeated you... Anyways I just finished expanse yesterday love you guys so much I watch more shows about yall
If anyone gets to read this and has a good memory, check out who is in the movie Sky High.(War and Peace).
I have skipped out on so many series finales and final seasons I have lost count of the shows I need to finish.
The Americans, Orphan Black, Sons of Anarchy, Mr Robot, Outlanders and True Blood...just to name a few I thought of off the top. I really do feel a sense of loss at these times.
*I wished I had skipped the final season of GoT...maybe I would still like rewatching the earlier seasons if I had.---it ruined it all for me*
Enjoyed the ride!!
