The Finale Of The Expanse Explained
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 05. 2024
- The Rocinante seems to have flown its last mission on Prime Video's "The Expanse." Over two networks, one massive fan campaign, and six seasons, the sci-fi series was consistently one of the smartest, most intriguing series on TV. So smart, in fact, that it was sometimes a bit difficult to tell where the series was going. Though "The Expanse" seems to have finally stopped expanding, that doesn't necessarily mean it's gone for good. Whether this is the final finale, or just the ending of season 6, we're here to explain it regardless. This is the finale of "The Expanse" explained.

What were your thoughts on the finale of "The Expanse"?
Just One thought, i miss then already just give us one more season with Holden, Naomi, Amos, Clarissa and God damn Bobbie is one hell of a women (more balls), And avasarala and drummer please, those ring entities need some ass kicking
While I thought the show was great they lost it at the end - all of season 6 was just a disappointment, with a few great things mixed in. So frustrating that they KNEW this was the end yet they left so much hanging and unexplained, like:
- What were the "entities"? What did they really want?
- Why did they destroy so much? Or did they?
- What was the "spaceship"?
- What was the guy doing who wanted to "kill the gods"?
- What was the deal with the "dogs"?
- What was the point of the kid who died/came back and his family? What was the point of all that?
That's off the top of my head - so much started in season 6 for then absolutely no reason. I shouldn't have to do homework and read the books for a conclusion to a TV show. Oh, and while it's possible there may be more - that will NOT be part of the TV show we just spent 6 seasons watching.
It ended as if they really planned for a sequel.
@@ross-carlson Before season 5 even came out they announced season 6 would be the finale and made it clear it was one book per season so why complain unless you have some secret way of making Bezos pay to finish the whole story? Amazon only paid for 3 seasons after picking it up from Syfy, so it was either end it there or rush everything ( which would have made it a mess). And there is a decades long break in story so every character you love would have to be recast. Pretty much every question you asked above was answered ( except for the entities, they only give theories ) in the books so if it's too much for you to read then there's always Wikipedia
I enjoyed every episode and this one I feel has left me hanging. I want to know more of the children, brother and sister Kiera and the beasts that bought the boy back to life. And whats going to happen to Filip son of Naome and Marco being as he escaped death. More episodes Please. I Love this Show.
Cara Gee playing Camina Drumme: "Why is your word enough for me and mine not enough for you?" Truly brilliant writing.
Never really cared for her character until I saw an interview with her and realized how INCREDIBLY different she is as Drummer. Great actress.
The directors at one point didn't get one scene and thought she seemed too stiff, then realized she was playing it stiff because she was playing it as-though English was her second language, Beltalowda was her first. She is brilliant.
@@Michael-ez3zg English is technically her first language as the belter language isnt a language but a pigeon tongue like Hawaiian street talk. Its English with stray words from other languages and slang terms thrown in but functionally a English "dialect" a better example is American Ebonics that many African Americans speak. But yeah I know what you mean. haha
Brilliant delivery too
@@teovu5557 You do realize we are talking about science fiction show and yes please don't tell me the USA doesn't have an official language. You are so mussing the point trying flex what you believe is your superior Intellect. Those were not my words but from the writer and directors themselves. So you can reach out to them and correct them to show them how smart you are. Jeeze...
_"Iraros wasn't all wrong. He was evil and he was cruel but tapped into something real. He was able to do what he did because so many people were angry and frightened. They saw the future and they weren't in it. That's what this has to fix"._
Fantastic show. One of the best Sci-fi I’ve seen in fifteen years. May fall in top 5 ever.
Maybe my TOP 1 since as long as i can remember, better than Gallactica, better than firefly, better than star trek, it's just better
Top 5 shows ever period
It didn't really end though. There are a lot of loose ends still waiting to be tied up.
@@jonothandoeser it's not over there's still a story to be told and the next book involves a time jump so this break seems like it's fitting. The only reason why this season was so short was the cancellation or shelving of the show which was caused by the cost of production.
@@arbiter204 So they are hoping it will be continued? Picked up by someone else?
The writers have enough materials and branches for 5 new shows for years to come. I hope they make them. I enjoyed this show. What happened to the not dead dead kid? What were the strange dogs?
I think that Laconia would quickly become the centre of a religious cult.
@@user-gx8fz7ib1d The laconians will dominate Mars and Earth ? Damn .. how they die at the end ? Do they ?
I have about 7 of the books. Just haven’t had the time to read them. Waiting to take time off in December. I also have the all the Foundation books.
You should read the Dwarves series by Markus Heitz.
So many unanswered questions in this show
When Naomi saw Filip as a baby just before she pushed the button and when Amos laid and covered Bobbie and said "I got you, Bobbie", I wasn't the one crying, you were crying.
especially after saying he would prefer getting shot from the front than the back
It's heartbreaking to see one of the best Si-Fi series of the past 10 years cut short. There are so many untold stories and unfinished business in The Expanse.
It this is the end, I'm okay with it. The Expanse was amazing and I'm satisfied with the ending. Show was an overall miracle in this day and age. Well done.
you guys got it wrong. the rail guns are on the ring station, the rocinante takes cover by putting the medina station in between them and the rail guns
Right! Medina station is the former Behemoth.
Thank you. That was driving me crazy.
Poor mormons got their Nauvoo jacked. Back to Utah I guess.
Much respect to Naomi and her deciding to do what’s better for the majority even at the expense of her own son. Hopefully Fillip does better with his freedom/life.
She tried to get him out but he didn't want to. So when she left the Pella, she had already gave him up.
I love how there were so many references in the heart monitor like ellen Ripley, commander Shepard, Vasquez and general Ackbar lol
I love this show so much ❤️ and Cara Gee is amazing. I didn't like Drummer in the beginning, not Draper either, but now they're easily my favorite characters on the show.
That's how you know a character has a great arc.
Think they could have made 2 more episodes leading up to this one. Sure there would still be cliff hangers, but they just cut the final series a little short & pushed thru some scenes. Was still a great series.
they didint really have a choice they said that amazon asked if they could do it in just 6 episodes! another 2 episodes would have been great especially since they wanted to put prax in it but couldint.
@@gregzc9395 ya, unlike GoT, HBO wanted a few more episodes & the director said no, here we had the other way around & Amazon not wanting more & cutting it short.
stupid Jeff cutting this great series so he can fly his dildo rocket.
@@JuanLopezCortes I mean that's expanse in real life lol!!
Amazing finale but it feels like it needs season 7 with 6 more episodes to wrap everything up with the protomolecule and all the ring worlds.
My favorite show had a solid, satisfying ending. That's all I could ask for. I'm glad they left it on a hopeful note, and left it open for spin offs or to come back to someday, without sacrificing the ending. A brilliant series from start to finish.
This wasn't really explaining anything. it was an episode recap. I was wondering how they were going to end this, but all they have done is end it at book 6. There is nothing stopping them continuing the story for the next 3 books! Really wish they hadn't decided to end it like this.
Indeed. The series feels like a story only half told.
Marcos's ending was so rushed and abrupt, I thought it was a dream sequence!!
Agreed. A rather lame ending for a villain that had become so pivotal.
A small part of me hopes that they just make the
rest of the show thru animation i know its
not the same but i just loved how space and humanity was potrayed in this
show and to see it end just leaves a hole in my heart
Hard to believe its not a huge success, but then it's sci-fi genre... This is the best since battlestar, easily.
@@BoyeeSmudger it's niche not because it's somehow inaccessible but because it was never advertised anywhere. Hollywood eroded the whole term "science fiction" by turning it into a pew pew lazors shields jet -fighters-in-space disposable fast food. Not to mention the first 3 seasons were done by SyFy - one of the worst networks ever. So potentially interested viewers simply skip it because they see that mark of junk (SyFy logo) and think "probably some generic low-budget 'crew on a unique battleship' series".
One can learn about The Expanse only by a pure word of mouth. My entry into it was only this year because I was bored and had nothing really interesting to watch so decided to randomly give it a try. I knew literally nothing about it.
@@wrmusic8736 I started watching it from day one.. my feelings were hurt when sci-fi canceled it. But then when it went to prime i was for sure it was gonna do more than 3 seasons.. oh well thanks for a great show. Hope to see a spin-off some day
I just binged this show! How did i miss this show for so long.... Now that it over I'm not ready to let go
I loved every thing. Just left me wanting more. Maybe we should start a petition with amazon to give us the rest
Best Sci-fi show ever. Period.
My heart still says it's not the final season. They can't just leave us with so many possibilities 🙂
You guys missed the best part: all the sci-fi names in the assault team.
I noticed.
When the Laconia's Admiral Winston Duarte said to Marco Inaros..., "You were a useful distraction but I have gods to kill". In other words, you are merely an ant that I played with but did not step on.
Fabulous, Inaros face just saw is own demize there
Keon Alexander playing the role of "Marco Inaros" is brilliant acting. His performance, movement and nuances builds a great believable egotistical leader.
I was so worried that they were not going to stick the landing in a 6 episode season. They did and as always, it was a well written story and conclusion. However, the "Karen" in me still would have love a 13 episode season. I want to speak to the Manager!
The last episode felt like three episodes crammed together. Still a great show and satisfying conclusion but it definitely could have been developed more.
The ending was rushed and failed attempt to put an end to the series. What was the purpose of the whole "dogs" bringing the boy back story? This ending wrecked an awesome series - much like the Game of Thrones finale!
Avasaralas is my fav character of the entire show
I love how her character has evolved but stayed committed to who she’s been as a leader from Day 1. She’s always put the well-being of her people above all no matter how others feel about her.
Best thing I ever watched on a screen rather movie or tv show period and the ONLY one I'm capable of rewatching a dozen times over (all six seasons). No other show/movie has done that for me except a FEW. Even then I could only rewatch those maybe twice. Thank the gods for "Reactors", just another fun way to rewatch the series for the 100th time!!!
Jesus Christ!!! That’s pretty much how I feel about the wire mate. What’s your top ten tv shows? Mine are
1. The wire
2. Game of thrones
3. Mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Stranger things
9. Sopranos
10. Mad men/Better call Saul
The expanse is definitely a very good show, but couldn’t quite make the top ten for me.
I hope they make season 7, there’s story to tell
True, I'd like to know the story of that ugly corkscrew ship orbiting one of the extra-solar colonies and the developments with that dog-like creature that can "resurect" dead organisms.
Nice recap. Well done.
I like that in all the years of spaceship stuff, they never came up with better words than "air support" and "flying"
It seems like the side Story didn't have any type of resolution whatsoever with the zombie kid and his sister. Aside from that this final season tide things together ended rather well.
It seems as though there was a scene or two missing at the end with the abrupt end of Marco. It would be nice to see another season or spin-off to show what happens with Filip and the family that's on the ring planets.
If you have read the books this season just plays out similar to that. There are 3 more books and nothing here has ended :(
@@columbo1977 Cool but I shouldn't have to know what's in the books for the show to make sense and stand on its own. Any show.
@@ianj4389 And also that the show was released worldwide, but not the books. What's the use if only a small percentage of the shows fans (from English language countries) can understand what happened with the help of the books?
Without doubt one of the very best Sci-fi shows ever.
When Naomi saw Filip as a baby just before she pushed the button and when Amos laid and covered Bobbie and said "I got you, Bobbie"...
Hope they eventually go back and make 3 more season for the last 3 books. The Entities are still a big threat.
Best sci-fi show ever made. I really hope they adapt books 7-9 which are the best ones!
love this show ! hope the creators give us a sequel, prequel or spinoff at some point
We won’t
It's pretty obvious that this is not a series finale, but just a season finale. And that the showrunners still have some material they want to film / produce. Let's hope they find a streaming provider where they can put their plans into action.
I think It's meant to be both. It's a wrap-up for a previous storyline and has the feel of a series finale while leaving things open ended. I think it was supposed to be there just in case they do have a chance at a new season
"The Expanse" is an example of what Hollywood can still be capable of. No "lecturing", just good writing and memorable characters that fascinate us not because they are "socially perfect", but because they are flawed, relatable humans. The Expanse chose the perfect spot to stop and let us reflect on how wonderful the story was. There are, of course, more books. So another series is possible. Let's hope it can live up to the incredibly good writing and acting of the first series.
Marco had no chance to survive once Bobby took out those railguns... it would take several weeks to fix them, and allied fleet was burning towards ring gate as well...
One of my most favorite series of all time. I wanted to cry when it ended. It's just so grounded in a future reality that it's hard to believe it's sci fi.
It's not just a great sci-fi series. The Expanse was just an outstanding TV show regardless of genre.
I am disappointed to see it go, and hope the last three books of the series are out to screen in the future...by the same team that created this series.
Agreed with Lennie and RAKKAR! A fabulous series with even more potential for the big screen in digital 3D!!
Well done Looper expose of final episode, too.
I thought the whole season was amazing. Definitely better than season 4 and 5. I would go so far as to say it’s up there as may be one of the best seasons in the entire series. Every single episode was great and I typically in a pretty harsh critic of most films and TV shows.
It was an amazing ending. I loved how Naomi came up with the idea of waking up the entities and kill Marco and on top of that kill her own son, INSANE but she managed to do it.
Gonna miss her so much and Holden and Amos and Bobbie and Peaches😭😭😭😭😭
So by "amazing ending" you mean they left SO MUCH unexplained and unresolved, like:
- What were the "entities"? What did they really want?
- Why did they destroy so much? Or did they?
- What was the "spaceship"?
- What was the guy doing who wanted to "kill the gods"?
- What was the deal with the "dogs"?
- What was the point of the kid who died/came back and his family? What was the point of all that?
Or did I miss the episodes that explained that? Great show but other than the fun action at the end very disappointing for such a great show.
@@ross-carlson I'm sorry but i read the books and I know the answers. I have faith we'll get more in a couple of years.
@@ross-carlson because they unfortunately are not allowed to adapt the last 3 books, which answer these questions.
This ended pretty much like the book it adapts ended.
Not to be nit picky but the aliens that made the protomolecule also made the rings and the slow zone the unknown aggressors just killed the ring builders.
This is a good narration of the last The Expanse episode.
Slipped in the #ExpandTheExpanse line, nicely done Looper
The inauguration was not on medina it was on ceres station!!! You could even see that in the tabloid that holden is given!!
I really enjoyed by each one episode. Nice one and I hope it will expand ... Once!
Truly great ending. I wish there were more.
there will be, eventually
@@arbiter204 in 30 years
I think in their final dialogue, Avasarala realized that Holden has grown up. He's not a naive boy anymore, he's learned to play the game and that he made a smart move that even she - as the grand chess master of the political expanse universe - hasn't seen coming. Starting off, Holdens way of dealing with stuff was mainly "Let's just tell everybody", now (and continuing in the books that weren't adapted YET) he's starting to play the "game" better than anybody else.
Re-watch episode 6 and look at all the love the entire team feels and shares for each other. The sacrifices they are willing to make to protect one-another. Just like our friends and families. In the end, that's all we really want.
You got some things wrong:
1. You keep saying Medina Station when you mean the Ring Station
2. Bobby destroyed the rail gun Reactor, not the Control Station
@@agnieszkab.9343 they triggered the ring entities by a mass energy overload. And the entities consumed Marco’s fleet since mass limit had been exceeded. Our side lost some pods in the same way during the railgun ring station assault in a similar manner.
@@iankennedy2592 The Barkeith disappeared without any overload actiobs, was ist so much more massive?
"Liang Walker", the Captain of the Inazami, portrayed by Stuart Hughes, went out like The Boss he was, sacrificing himself for his people. I wasn't crying, you were crying.
Come back!!! So much more to explore
I so love athe Expanse series and the main characters!! Love Drummer, James and Amos. I loved Alex too and sorry to hear of his personal demise. Please finish the last 3 books!! I have watched this series over and over!! I mis Asford too!!❤❤😊😊
Was that really the last episode? Damn, I wanted to see where the story of the boy revived by the space dogs leads.
Same! That whole storyline just feels like filler now and could have been left out completely.
Well....
The next Book , in the series this show is based on, takes place 30 years after the creation of the Trade Union.
So...????!!!!!!????
books deal with that, as the show is based on the first 6 books - the remaining 3 actually finish it, while boy's story is apparently based on a spinoff novella Strange Dogs which is dedicated entirely to Laconia and apparently gives a lot more answers (haven't read it yet)
@@jedijc5411 I haven't read the books so thanks for the info. How do you rate the books compared to others you have read?
@@StephenJohnson-jb7xe I didn't read the books but, I know 4 people who read the Books when they were Band new. Only 1 of them watches the TV. " They Changed too Much", said the Other 3.
thank u
It's a shame the screwed the ending like they did, they skipped pretty much the complete last book.
They left it opened because the show was canceled. So ofc the ending won’t be that great. Hopefully another network picks it up
The final episode felt rushed. There were many avenues that were not explored such as the alien entities. I feel that the show needed at least one more season.
Agreed. It feels like a story only half told.
So sad it's over. Hopefully in a few years we will get the final books adapted.
While i didnt finish the show i have to say theres few books that made me care for characters as much as i did for the roci crew...
Amazing show..... I wish we got more..... great writing... action scenes..... cinematography
I've read all the books and this is very good
After "Filip Inaros" portraid by _Jasai Chase-Owens_ killed all the unarmed scientist on their science vessel and also killed his best friend, I felt his character is no longer redeemable.
First 3 seasons had great pacing, last 3 seasons have been good but so slow and it's done without concluding the alien arc? The hell.
What a show! Brilliant
The ring builders are different from the the Unknown Aggressor's that destroyed the ringbuilders, right?
Yepper. The Ring Builders used protomolecule as a tool. The Unknown Aggressors wiped them out a zillion years ago.
It’s sad they may not be able to adapt the other books but I’m glad they didn’t try rush through it all those and squeeze them in to these last 6 episodes like another show was guilty of doing.
Amazing show and fantastic ending. Just hoping they adapt the final 3 books
What a great show! I hope they do a spin-off
For everyone that is still upset, just know there are over multiple spin offs that are going to take place after everything that just happened. All of the main characters signed new contracts to stay on board but they will not be the center of attention.
There is another 3 books that continue the story, the issue is there is a 30 year gap between Book 6/Season 6 and Book 7/Season 7 in then story timeline. They didn’t want to recast or didn’t thing they could actually display they time gap. There is also chatter that something is in the works to finish the show on the screen.
Loved it just want to know what happened to the resurrected kid.
I just binge watched the 6th season and i was really *really* disappointed over how it ended.
We never got to know about the dead aliens or the hostile aliens, we didn't get to know much about
the sidestory of the planet with settlers.
Marco's death was just lazy, cheap and stupid. Filip just flew off into space alone... no closure with mom.
And why did the pilot from Season 5 suddenly vanish !?, no explanation iirc.
Are we to believe that suddenly, out of the blue, everything is going to be lollipops and marchmallows by the fire now
that Marco is gone!?... what about the alien threat !?.
I am disappointed ... very disappointed. The last season was even 4 episodes shorter.
Bull actually dies in book/season 3. They created Drummer for the show, she was a mix of a couple of characters including Bull, but brought Bull into it later on. But yeah I found it strange how he just vanished in the show. There are three more book that continue the story 30 years later, I hear it’s the time gap and actors playing older versions of their characters why they called it at book/season 6. There is chatter that something is in the works to finish it all off.
I wish another network keeps the story going….this an AMAZING story and want to know more…..
Is this still as far as it goes? I was hoping to see the Tempest.
The rail guns weren’t mounted on Medina station, it would wouldn’t have survived the recoil, it was mounted on the ring station, since it has infinite inertia, recoil isn’t a problem
So no word about the ending screen with the protomolecule ship crossing the ring and the entities slowly waking up to torn the ring bright orange ?
Wish Amazon Prime would do another season 😢
the song !! I need it !
Me too
Is it wrong that I am in love with the Evil No.2, man, woman, lady, she beast "Rosenfeld Guoliang" portrayed by Kathleen Robertson...
When she said "Is it bad? am I hit? I don't wanna to go". I was just cutting onions and hot peppers.
The ending was nice. Better than most shows have done in the decade
good
yh this feels rushed and left a lot of the alien tech lore unexplored which I thought would be more interesting primary story.
The Rail Guns were mounted on the Ring. Not Medina.
Barely watched the expanse definitely going to now! But first I got to beat ME2 and ME3
This needs at least another season or at least a mini series
What exactly did this video explain ?
We need a season for the 7th and 8th books
So sad this awesome show has come to an end again.
This series has so much more to offer the books are 10 books so much more
Damn shame it ended here.
James holden is the real hero of whole series
He will save all the life in all sol systems from black aliens.
I was so unbelievably let down by this final season. The show was absolutely incredible but the decision to clearly cut the budget for the last season killed me. The battle scenes look cheap and and nothing like previous seasons.
Read the books !
The expanse definitely deserves a couple more seasons and by him not taking the position with the ring these him available if I'm not mistaken the ratings show that it would be worthwhile I mean good god Amazon was going to originally just cancel botch then they decided to do a spin-off. Plus just thing holding can become his new stepdad a
The characters are very consistent. Naomi can't be trusted. Your nature is to always betray, for being selfish and manipulative.
Sadly as great as the story was it feels only half told….
Is it wrong that I am in love with the Evil No.2, man, woman, lady, she beast "Rosenfeld Guoliang" played by Kathleen Robertson...
Yes. 😆
I wanted one more season
it needs at least 3 more because 6 seasons = 6 books, but there are 3 more books remaining for a total of 9. The last book in the series came out last year - so the story is wrapped up, just in a different media.
