Wish you knew everything about The Expanse season 5 in under 17 minutes? Alt Shift X has you covered! What was your favourite episode, and why?
All of them.
Feel free to renew it for season 7 as well please
Can anybody tell me what are the speeds/velocities (km/sec) of all spaceships in the Expanse? I m trying to find such information during all 5 seasons but still could not(
@@artdirtydog88 close to the limits of human body. That's all that I can say.
My favorite episode should be S7 E01 BRUH !
"Bobbie does heroic Bobbie things." That pretty much sums up Bobbie, such a badass.
Terrible actor though. imo. Now Drummer, on the other hand, is both badass and well acted.
Whattttt Asx on Amazon video? So proud
The most interesting part of season 5 is Clarissa Mao. She somehow became of the my favorite characters.
I agree I need to read the books apparently she has a major role
Similar to Jaime Lannister in GoT. Book authors seem to really know how to make a character go far.
Really wish Amazon would work with the spacedock channel again so we can get a detailed breakdown of all the ships we saw this season. Sometimes I feel like the only one that loves the ships of these sci fi shows and want more details on them.
That would be awesome I also would love to learn more about the ships.
you aren't alone
Skyscrappers with cannons, missles and rockets in different sizes.
Those ships do feel the same most of the time.
Man I agree with this post
@@Audifaram that’s like saying every ship Star Trek has phasers, shields, torpedoes and warp drive. And while true there’s a huge difference between a Galaxy class ship like the Enterprise D and a constitution class ship like TOS Enterprise. Same with the Expanse ships, a corvette class like the Roci is completely different from Ashfords Belter ship Tynin, yet they all have the same things for the most part.
Tell more people about the best scifi show in history so we can make it past season 6!
The show is actually ending in season 6. Its not getting canceled. But hopefully we'll get a few movies too later
@@shehansoysa571 I haven't read the books but it seems like there's material for at least 2-3 more seasons... sad. Definitely the greatest sci fi since perhaps Battlestar Galactica.
this show is terrible
@@shehansoysa571 Some people on the show have hinted that season 6 is the end of the show's time on Amazon but not necessarily the end of the show. It might live on.
@@jkickass why, how?
The insert of the Drake meme in the Arjun graphic was... everything.
Thanks for posting that. I went back to look for it and laughed out loud after seeing it. Yes, the better known actor was a better Arjun.
Hahaha I immediately came to the comments to see if anyone else appreciated that :D
Here's our video comparing Season 5 to the books! czcams.com/video/eRUkC9yeSrE/video.html
Please more Expanse videos!!
You are a trendsetter in the creation of video essays that look beautiful and sound thought-provoking. I'm glad you're getting sponsors.
Just to think that from an audio guide to tv show lore, game of thrones episodes, now you are doing the official recaps of one of your favourite books on the official Amazon Prime channel. It's insane. And so well deserved. I hope you are proud of yourself.
Man, congrats on this. Great to see you on the Prime channel!
Yeet.
Who else gets flashback memories of Westworld and Game of Thrones, just listening to Alt Shift X's voice?
Oh! That use of Drake meme. Fantastic
Yeah, long live old Arjun!!
@@roloskywalker_ I wish they'd used "old" Arjun's pic for this season rather than the new actor's, especially since the actor is never shown on screen.
This was, perhaps, the best season recap if any show I have ever seen. It told the major story arcs of all characters and the over arching plots in a concise and endearing way. It did it all without funny voices or making jokes.
Great summary of the season. Wished it could have had the episode by episode treatment but time is not always a friend.
See there own channel
@@iamhere6893 only 1 ep is covered
I preferred the older Arjun too! :D
Wow, I didn't know that the ship passing through the ring at the end of S5E10 was destroyed. I thought it was something similar to Holden's vision when he went through; it showed the malevolent force of the destroyers, but didn't actually damage anything yet. So is it confirmed that the ship was destroyed?
Yeah, it's atoms we're taken apart. It's completely gone
Well as they were passing through you could actually see through the people and then their parts were spread all over by the forces so they're more than likely not coming back from that.
@@collecter343 Yep and also you don't see it being reflected on the other side, and you notice the engines went offline as they went through.
Yes
Same here mate, didn't realise it got destroyed, bit of spoiler in a way. Plus it took me a while to realise who the two crew members were as Lieutenant Babbage looked very different with her hair tied back.
Wow this might be the best season recap of a show I've ever seen. Sets me up great to watch S6. Most recaps are just important scenes stitched together but you miss a lot of context that way, I probably remember season 5 better now than when I first watched it.
This is literally the best and clearest recap of a tv show season I've ever seen! The annotations, side by side pictures and quotes really help.
This is the one book that I think is key for fans to read. It’s so rich with so many more parts to the story that can’t be shown in the show.
It really is the "Empire Strikes Back" of this amazing show. So much pain, darkness and heartbreak that will help to steel the nerve and resolve of our hero's for season 6.
Brilliant. "I quit" , "he's alive" - 100 points for well used quotes ^^
Keep up the great work ASX, love and thanks from Eire 🇨🇮👍😁
Oh I totally didn't get that the Martian ship going through the ring had been destroyed - just that weird alien stuff was happening to it.
same here, I thought that is just effect from passing through ring.
You're the best in explaining things! Big fan. Followed you since your GOT reviews and explanation.
Just finished watching all the season I was confused a bit at the final ending. Good to have this to listen to
Holy shhhh. AltS X blowing up!
Wow, you really helped me and my wife step into season 6 with full understanding having not watched season 5 for a year, thanks
Excellent video! Thank You! I especially liked the insight about the common themes, and how Amos and Peaches' arc sets an example for all of them in the bad situation they are in.
this alt shift guy seems pretty cool, would love to see more of his videos on this channel
you know he has his own, great channel right? don't miss the Cookie Clicker video, pure gold czcams.com/video/2Dx76lD8Scc/video.html
That arjun meme
i laughed out loud
@@thomaslai4680 I missed it the first time but went back and laughed out loud too.
Amazing video for an amazing season 👏
This was such a great recap. Thanks!
Great recap before season 6, thank you!
10:40 It's not the Razerback. Screaming Firehawk hahah
Excellent recap thank you
Thanks for this! I love the show, can't wait to see what comes next
The best Si-Fi I ever have seen before! Can’t wait for more🙏🏻🥺
This recap of season 5 is VERY well done.
Alt Shift X's Season 6 explainer has just dropped as well! czcams.com/video/GC2SWDQhYkY/video.html
Long live the Laconian Empire
30 years lives the Laconian Empire*
Arjun meme
OG Arjun best Arjun.
I didn't even realize that he was recast
@@Kriae I still don't understand WHY it was recast.
@@Pliskkenn Scheduling issues I think, can't exactly delay production of a show that took a lot to start up again due to a single actor for a secondary character.
@@collecter343 Oh, thats a huge shame
Fantastic explainer!
This recap is art.
Right? 😍 Alt Shift X just made a new one about Season 6 Episode 1, don't miss it! czcams.com/video/BiAEotTXr6Q/video.html
I NEED MOREEEEE
Great recap ...👍🏽
I know ill appreciate this season more when the series finishes, but i just really want to know more about them ancient aliens
Great show
5:43 wait... what? 😂
Best episode ever!
Alex died in the #ScreamingFirehawk, not the Razorback.
Remember? They can’t.
Would it make sense to jump into the books at the equivalent point to TV season 5, or is the book series too different? Reading right from the book 1 after seeing 5 seasons would be a bit tedious, covering so much known ground. Or would it?
Where is the after shoooooow 😭
Alt Shift X is the best!
Good review, from an Aussie of course...I liked S5 overall, although it did drag a bit at times, eps 8 and 9 were a bit slow, but wow did ep 10 make up for it. Season 6 is going to be mental with the protomolecule back in play. I hope Mars (the planet) can reclaim it’s honour and joking up with Earth to hunt down Marco and the rebel Martians. I haven’t read the books (no spoilers please), so I don’t know if that happens, but I hope so, it’s their mess to clean up.
Best season to date !
I cannot BELIEVE they did Alex like that..
i totally missed the polyamrous part :D :D , who are drummers partners? (dont know why i didnt get it)
Read a few comments here. Slow, ponderous, too much drama. But that all depends on expectations. Personally I loved it, but this was the first time I’ve watched the Expanse with weekly episodes rather than a binge watch (I only arrived after S3).
So I’ll watch S5 as a binge watch to see if it improves as an entire narrative as opposed to the drip feed of a weekly series. I’m thinking it might
Expanse... Amazing...
Why is this video not showing on the channel uploads? I only found it by the link on 'Nemesis Games: The Expanse Season 5 vs the Books'.
Cause it's not uploaded on alt shift X's own channel but on Amazon Prime's.
Querido Amigo, el Tequila solo se elabora en La De.O. Tequila, no en Canada
So, Holden is Azor Ahai?
He is space Jon Snow.
Marco is Azor Ahai. He’s the one who’d quench his sword by stabbing his lover with it...which he sort of did by using Naomi’s code...
So, what are Amazons plan with Laconia and the time jump?
3:05. The ship was destroyed? I thought it was transformed or something....?
If marco wasn't so self-centered he would be by far the greatest character.
Now he's just the greatest character right before Avasarala.
Does this confirm the martian ship was in fact destroyed by the aliens that killed the builders?
And with regard to Amos did Amazon confirm Amos is a sociopath?
I think Amos is Autistic.
@@rob3791 that wouldn’t explain his lack of empathy
R.I.P Alex Kamal :(
Come on Jeff Bezos, you're now less busy and concentrating on Blue Origin. You love space! Surely you see the value in extending the awesome Expanse series through all 9 books! Oh Please...
Come on everyone, spam Amazon NOT to cancel The Expanse!!
Whii!
Naomi is a genius survivor engineer person, i liked her in the past but this season she was insufferable. Her screen time was needlessly long.
This is probably the best recap for the Expanse that I've seen. No shouty "CZcams personality" style vocals, etc.
But, a small critique: in a fairly sober and mature styled recap you used the slang "yeet". Sure, it's common slang right now... But in 5 years its going to seem dated and silly.
I'll go away to my "old man corner" of the Internet now.
Did Alex died because the author it's been accused of doing some no no stuff?
Yup
1:42 I'm not one of dem bleedin' yanks or nuthin' but I think you used "yeet" wrong.
Wiktionary: yeet, English, verb, 1. To move quickly. 2. To throw an object a long distance or with a sudden or forceful motion.
Seemed pointlessly personal in most cases, too many individuals to do the individual stories justice at the expense of the crew dynamic.
Don't cancel this, don't you care.
If I wanted to watch family drama I will see some Turkish or Indian shows, this is is so trash I can't believe my favorite science fiction show made that terrible season. there was 0 alien stuff 0 exploring and investigating whats happen and why. Total disappointment.
It was soo boring. No aliens, no alien worlds, just whining around on Earth...
We literally got aliens and shots of a new world in the finale.
So to be honest, this was just another incredibly boring season compared to the first three. So much talking, so much skippable scenes. So few space combat...
The last battle wasn't enough for you?
@@Kriae the last battle was what I was hoping for for 10 episodes. But it didn't pay for all the boredom in the episodes before.
Space battles only have impact when there is something at stake
you wanted blasters to go pew pew but got a mature story about people and character growth, maybe star trek discovery is more your speed, raunchy humor, insults and tons of pew pewing, when you grow up a bit , come on back, imo this season was incredible
If your expectations from a space sci-fi show is just action and space battles and people running around like flailing scarecrows and mumbling/shouting vaguely coherent pieces of dialogue with some kinda cockamamie space jargon in it, and the plot is barely there to get to the next action scene, then might I suggest _Star Trek Discovery_ or the *_new_* _Star Wars Trilogy_ . This series is not for you.
The Empire Strikes Back, huh? I don't remember it being nearly ten hours long and wasting most of its runtime on vapid drama.
Oh , you poor thing!
@@elbaecc oh, he probably wanted blasters to go pew pew but got a mature story about people, poor thing indeed
take your adderell and pay attention for 5 minutes, you might enjoy it
@@nickrubin7312 Maybe the real blasters were the ones who pew pew'd along the way.
Empire was mostly drama.
