More Expanse videos coming soon!
love your content
Sweet! Will you do all episodes?
I would love to see the whole series covered like this.
Love your content...please more Expanse.
More please .. great show
The Expanse was a hidden gem. Started watching it after your recap of S1- S4. Even though the storylines were spoiled, the show experience was so good. All credits to you too for introducing to a great show
Hidden gem? I don't think you know what that term means. The books are incredibly well known and the show's been critically acclaimed since its first season with throngs of fans and when Amazon rescued it from being cancelled it was widely and loudly proclaimed across the internet.
@BlownMacTruck I am not from the western hemisphere bro.
@Listin My apologies. I didn’t know literature and the Internet were restricted to the Western Hemisphere.
@BlownMacTruckFYI people outside the western hemisphere have their own culture, movies, literature and internet drams to follow. Either a western show has to be extremely popular or it has deep enough pocket for marketing to reach inside our bubble.
@Listin Your lack of personal knowledge about it still doesn’t makes this show a hidden gem.
As a book reader I can appreciate all of the back story you put into your video. Let me just also say that I absolutely love this show and would watch every video you post
I LOVE these break downs and will be so happy if you can do all the season 5 episodes!!!! Secretly hoping for some Stranger Things or Umbrella Academy breakdowns as well, but I won't get greedy.
Really awesome to see you doing Expanse content again! Love all your stuff, but this is one of my top 3 franchises (if not #1, honestly)...The final book is releasing pretty soon, would love it if you considered continuing the book videos in the off-season!
Is my number 1
Been waiting for this, thank you! Your Expanse videos convinced me to recently binge the entire show until s5, after initially thinking it was a boring show after ep101 years ago. I'm glad to have been wrong about it!
Thank you so much for giving us episode breakdowns for season 5! It will help get the viewership up for the Expanse which is so underwatched! Thanks so much for giving it some buzz! If you were to do the first four seasons episode by episode I would faithfully watch each one. I hope a lot of your viewers start from episode 1 and binge the whole series. It is such a great ride!
This show is the best sci-fi around anywhere at the moment. It's consistently excellent. Pretty much the polar opposite of Star Trek Discovery, a show so bad it gave me cancer.
I'm so hyped you're doing these videos! I just caught up with the show after starting last week because I needed some more Alt Shift X in my life but I had to watch the show first.
AND NOW MORE BREAKDOWNS?!
You always do such thoughtful breakdowns and you have the same tastes as me, thank you for putting effort into what you do.
My husband and I love your videos. Thank you for this one & the recap of seasons 1-4. We definitely want more Expanse videos. You catch all the call backs that flay right over our heads.
People seem split on this season. Some say its been disappointing but its one of the closest adaptations of the books (coincidentally the fan favorite book too). I personally think its a great season and I love to hear your breakdowns.
Oh yeah... Amos. Lines like the one about pumps are great levity - I think “Tiny,” “Chrissy,” and his talk with Holden about Clarissa without mentioning Clarissa are my faves of this season - but the time when he describes why he beat Roma so badly to Prax about what would happen to Mei if she was trafficked... THAT was when he became my favorite character. This season was hit or miss for me on the first viewing (Naomi’s scenes were AMAZING acting on Tripper’s part, but even they went on a bit too long and no one else really seemed to do much), but Amos’ story was never part of my critique it was great from start to finish - even if it was the least sci-fi/ space-based of a show about the vastness of space. And as for his emotional journey, I think season 4’s finale where he’s regrowing a finger, “Murty” gives him a reason to attack him and Amos just gets that snarl going on his face was a great show of his breaking out.
This was a fantastic summary, hope you have time to do more.
The Expanse is turning out to be one of my favorite shows of all time.
Love your videos and analysis. Please continue to make content based on The Expanse!
Yay, happy to watch again on your channel. Your breakdowns are the best, I hope you do more for season 5. It's getting wild!
One of the best series I have ever watched.
I've watched and loved this series since it first premiered on the SyFy channel. The only thing that makes it better is your episode recaps. Thank you.
So glad you're starting up on this show! Can't wait for more.
Your channel is by far the best spotlight on these great series, and The Expanse is one of my favorites of all time. Thank you for doing these videos.
Thanks for introducing me to this epic, reality based physics gem....with real people not political messages
Thanks for doing these. A great series. I'm starting to pick series to watch based off what Alt+Shift+X decides to cover...
Same
BAHAHA SAME
The Expanse is the best show on tv with the show honing closely to the books for the most part. Sci-Fi with lots of science based foundation (other than the alien artifacts). Hope Alt Shift X will do more reviews of the shows.
So happy the Expanse is getting the full Alt Shift X treatment. Love the Expanse and love your breakdowns.
Yes more expanse please. I've read all the books and watched all the seasons, I think expanse doesn't get enough credit for how good it is.
thank you for thoroughly covering this series.,., i hope when more people catch on to its existence you get more views =}
Please please please make more Expanse-content.
I absolutely _loved_ your content for GoT (your episodes basically became "part" of my experience of watching a GoT-episode).
Cannot wait for one on episode 4, one of my favorite and one of the best tv episodes of all time!
Great Video once again. Im very much looking forward to your next projects!
I would love more expanse videos, do you plan on doing more episode explanations, or are you just recording a summary after the finale? Anyways, have a great day!
Cheers
I love this show so much. You introduced me to it. Thank you.
Hell yeah, more Expanse episode breakdowns. I can't wait to hear all the new ways you mispronounce Avasarala.
Looking forward to the rest of these! They sure scratch the Expanse-itch!
As always, a stunning analysis!
Expanse! I'll watch everything Expanse related you do. Great video and analysis. Looking forward to seeing more.
Your explanation videos are the best out there. I just wish you could make videos after each episode but before the next one
I love this show best sci-fi show ever. Bills are amazing too. I love your breakdowns too. Please do more!!! Reminds me of the game of thrones ones you did.
I am very much looking forward to your break down of the Finale!
Thanks for these videos ^__^ I love the show. Was wondering if you had any thoughts on the series seems to expand on the ideas from Robert A. Heinlein's 'The moon is a harsh mistress'?
Love this series and your breakdowns add to the enjoyment. :))
The saddest part of this season was in the intro watching the lights go out on the Martian settlement
More please!! This is my favorite show, and I love all of your videos!
Hey alt shift x, can you also do more book ones on the expanse? loved the one you did for the first book.
would love more episodes about this show
Just brilliant. So much that I missed from the episode itself. More more more please! And soon!
i was so excited when you started with this seasons 1st episode. and slightly disappointed you didn''t cover any of the other episodes one by one. as you have done for other series.
These are great. More Expanse content please.
LOVE IT!!! More of this please!
Love the show and your break downs keep it up
I wish you'd cover more than just 1 or 2 episodes or doing a recap of a season. This is the best hard scifi show in a long time and deserves a lot more coverage.
[Edit] Westworld's a mess, got is dead, this is pretty much all that's left unless you're willing to start covering 'The Last Kingdom' or 'The Witcher'.
I'm pretty sure there's game of thrones prequels coming out
@David Bailey True but considering what's been released/leaked about them I'm pretty sure they'll suck.
This show is finally starting to build up the Momentum GoT had around season 4! I hope they continue the show after season 6 and.... (BOOK 6&7SPOILERS!!!)
just ignore or work around the Time Jump. They can just age up the actors with makeup (or maybe VFX ala Captain America, albiet that was probably very expensive, maybe just save that for Avasarala), and chalk up the uncannyness to them having anti-ageing technology 300 years in the future.
Great explanation and analysis!
Yes more Expanse please! This was great
More Expanse content videos please. Thank you for posting this one
Yes, please more from the Expanse.
More please! This show is the best!
I adore this show so much
Please make more videos for the rest of this season!!
Yes, Ive been waiting for you to do reviews of this gem of a show
Anyone else understands Marco's perspective? I mean it's not the right way ofc but if he didn't start acting radically the Belters would still be disrespected by every nations even after "The Rings" appeared. Now I just hope the series will explore more on the protomolecule's potential and new worlds or The Builders... the whole Nagata drama is getting a bit too long almost annoying at this point.
Nah, I don't see his perspective. He's just egotistical and power hungry.
yes, per episode breakdowns like these are great
Please do more, love the expanse and want to see more, maybe make a community post about this video, like many others I didn't see this video in the feed, I watched the recap and saw it in recommended
It's weird that this video doesn't show on the subscription feed. I assume it's the case for many because of the low number of comments and views.
Damn I was hoping there would be one of these for every episode.
Can we get a breakdown of the other episodes as well?
so happy you are doing the expanse videos!
Big expanse fan. Keep up the good work!
Could you please do some stuff on the Kingkiller Chronicles? In any case, thanks for your videos. SO MUCH.
Yes please! More Expanse videos. Cheers.
Cant wait for more Expanse content from you
Such a bummer that there will only be 6 seasons :( to great of a show to stop at 6 did nobody learn from GoTs errors?
If they were trying to make Phillip look "ruthless and murderous" when he lets that guy die, they failed. There is a shot that shows about 30 seconds left before the science vessel blows up so it's just a smart decision not to go out there and die. If there was more time on the clock sure
Even if it doesn't suggest he is 'ruthless and murderous' per se, it still shows that he is desensitized to death, even of someone he would consider a friend, and that he has bought into the idea that dying for this cause is heroic and noble. Plus earlier in the same scene we see him calmly give the order for the space station's crew to be executed. All in all, I think it does demonstrate that he is a bit of a fanatic
@Robert Winslade I 100% agree with you. I'm nitpicking little stuff has just been standing out to me this season in particular.
@David Bailey I've been feeling the same about nitpicking little stuff tbh 😅 my only major issue with this season has been that the pacing seems off especially with the plot spread across 6 different story threads, but this is something which I think will be way less noticeable when binge-watching. In fact I've mostly really liked all these plots but a few little details have really bothered me; like inconsistencies in the scale of the attack on Earth, or that they never established that Holden had the Roci checked for sabotage after the attack even though I know that he does in the book and it's such a common sense thing to do, plus that weird fight scene with Peaches. All of these are fairly small issues in the big scheme of things but I feel like they've really bothered me for some reason
@Robert Winslade I haven't read the books yet but that's understandable in this instance to create a little bit of drama I would say from now on he will check for sabotage lol.
I was starting to think that they ran out of source material. With lines like "thinking of your earther James Holden famous for drinking coffee" at first you're like oh that's cute but then you think about it and you're like wait how does she know he likes coffee and that is most definitely not what he is famous for.
I know that they shot a documentary but we never got the sense that they showed him drinking coffee or whatever from the show's perspective they didn't even finish the documentary because of peach's sabotage.
I was so triggered by the awkward editing in the peaches fight scene I tweeted at The Expanse. there's also three jump cuts when drummer screams in the latest episode that just takes me out of the moment.
They also reuse a technique where they let a sound bite play over the credits they did it in season 1 episode 3 and the latest episode season 5 episode 8 I just found it more impactful the first time it was when the star Helix rookie gets pinned to a wall
I agree the weekly schedule could be messing with us a bit because we're basically at the end of the second act of a movie and it's about to go down so I imagine the season is going to get more interesting.... I hope
More of these, please!
More expanse! Love it!
Please keep making these videos!
Love your videos on the expanse :)
Thank you good review
I think this is a better season than the last, but Amazon sucks
More of these pleeeease. You’re the best!
Always glad to see a new Alt Shift X vidéo 🙏
I want more Expanse videos!
You explaining the 2007 "Ming Dynasty 1566" would be a dream come true.
Loved this series the first couple of seasons, stopped watching it during season 5. This entire plotline with Filip and Marco was just painful. I already didn't like Marco from his introduction in the previous season, and this season was just more of a terrible villain, and making me dislike the previous characters. A friend of mine explained its tied to the story from the books, and well... that doesn't make it any better, lol. I hate this cheap style of television writing, with forced drama between characters in almost EVERY scene.
I didnt even understand the significance of the rocks in the beginning, thank you
My favorite show of all time
Keep these coming! :)
Duuude so glad you decided to start with this one :)
WE WANT MORE. WE NEED MORE!
This didn’t show up on my subscription page. Glad I found it.

Yeah, same here.
