#TheExpanse
stunning TV series, I've not seen such a great sci-fi show since 2004's Battlestar Galactica. It's been a long time.
BG is awesome 🤩
It too went out with a whimper.
What a great message about the need of collaboration and seeing eye to eye, to avoid exploitation that can lead to suffering, terrorism and war... Thanks... Amazon...
yeah, nothing says "utopia" like hollywood sponsored doomsday scenarios being shoved down our throats, in turn manufacturing hollow legitimacy from nitwit civilians who beg-for and think global governance is necessary on the basis of "collaboration and seeing eye to eye"
go back to the picture books kiddo. you're more likely to think organic thoughts
@@merrylderrickson3147 You not understanding the reference to working condition at Amazon makes your rambling rather embarrassing.
Here ill help you a little:
Amazon is a company that keeps their "workers" in a state of poverty, while denying them basic needs like for example sick-leave or even using a freaking restroom, while at the same (according to The National Labor Relations Board), have violated numerous labor laws like the violation in Bessemer, Alabama or the firing of Daequan Smith just to mention a few, all in order to deny their workers the right to unionize.
Are you really that dense, or are you just pretending with your out of place "whataboutsim" about Hollywood (and the global elite I presume) are propagandizing for a global government?
I could listen to this guys voice all day, would love if he narrated an audiobook
Need to see your take on the season as a whole, loving the content!
DO ARCANE! I know you can breeze through all the lore, short stories, event history, and comics of the LOL canon universe, and then apply it to your style of video about the Arcane series! That would be epic!
Omg yes, please! Soo much lore now and with season 2 coming soontm. But league, val, and other riot stuff is so good!
Was waiting for this! and happy to see the book comparisons peppered throughout. Ive been holding off on reading book 9 until the show concludes. Happy to get more Expanse content through you.
Great recap and narrative voice... subbed!
Cool stuff guys, thanks for the book intel 👍
are you going to do an alt shift x video for the rest of the books now that the show is over? would def watch
Excellent as always.
Pretty interesting the Belters ignore the fact Earth was filled with people suffering and struggling to get by.
Good example of class struggles and the misdirected anger
Honestly it's unrealistic that there wouldn't be any movements on earth sympathetic to belters. Likewise that there wouldn't be belters connecting their experience of colonization with those victimized the same way on Earth. It's an interesting series but the authors' radical centrist politics and relatively shallow understanding of colonialism definitely hamper the world building.
Nothing to do with class really. Marxism really has poisoned the mind of the masses, hasn't it?
@@hackatthekeyboard there probably are, just not enough to want war, or terrorism
@@hackatthekeyboard No. That is absolutely the most realistic part of the Expanse reality. ie. Racial minorities being homophobic. Repressed religious/ethnic minorities hating other repressed minorities more than their oppressors, etc.
It makes perfect sense that the least privileged of Earth would still hate and feel superior to Belters.
Absolutely. Human history (and especially in the last 100 years or so) is littered with examples of revolutions degenerating into a protracted get even campaign. It leads to cycles of violence and a lot of innocent people getting hurt. The most radical among the revolutionaries use the pent up anger of normal people to commit exactly the kind of atrocities that they condemned their oppressors for. It takes pretty strong leadership and a culture aligned with it to stop that kind of thing from happening.
Love these videos and the show. Sucks Amazon only allowed them to make 6 episodes.
He’s back!
I'm really enjoying your calm and complete narratives of The Expanse - great job, thanks. I was so disappointed in Season 6 that felt so rushed and slipshod, but your filling it out a bit makes it make more sense.
Watch the Expanse S6E06 Finale video here! czcams.com/video/GC2SWDQhYkY/video.html
It's on an Amazon CZcams channel for now. Dune video next!
Yay!
Can't wait to watch this later! Have you covered any of the other eps from this season besides the first one?
I miss Alt Shift X. I hope he considers doing a video on the second season of Raised by Wolves. I loved the first vid.
I literally didnt know this was an Alt Shift X video for a whole day. Alty, do me a favor and take bonsai pops initiative and have a video on your youtube goals. I want more ASX content, and im looking for your patreon lol. Make it easy for us to support you by reminding us we can.
There's a link to his Patreon in the description... And nah, I appreciate the lack of "like, subscribe, support us on patreon" yada yada yada
Thank you for telling us about this amazing series, I just started to watch it because you introduced the universe on your channel. I hope there's more you want to tell us about :)
Wes Chatham needs every stud role thrown at him.
Love your vids, are you gonna be making game of thrones videos anytime soon?
Thanks! Next video is about Dune. Then an ASOIAF vid like the Tyrion one. And this year, House of the Dragon!
@@AltShiftX lets gooo boiz we got the FCKIN DUUUUUNEEE
How much do the books explain the truth behind the entities, builders, and protomolecules? I assume it's left a mystery for the most part, but I'd love to get that origin.
Last 3 novels delved into it. A lot. I'm reading them all a second time now they're the best arc in the whole series.
We are eventually given plenty of historical and biological background info on the protomolecule builders. We get much less about the gate entities, but that's because they are essentially unknowable and God like.
The best thing about the expanse is that we are always eventually given good answers to our questions based in science or understandable character choices.
We learn a ton about the ptotomolecue builders. The gate entities are basically was they should not have fucked with. We of course fuck with both because human.
Cover "THE WHEEL OF TIME!!!!" If you have time!!
Love your content! Brilliant!
Greetings
I did like how in the end Marco was just another tool for an Inner, Duarte.
Marco was always an obvious puppet.
Aaaahhh yes, the ageold question:
What da dog doing?
I’m still not over the Mormon Spaceship
Surprised this channel hasn't covered the Dune series
Laconia isn't full of wildlife that has been fixed by the dogs even though they fix animals (like Xan) to be immortal. So it never occurred to the dogs to fix living creatures until Cara expressed to them her sadness over the bird's death and her desire for it to be not dead. So they recognize Cara's emotions as instructions and they recognize her as a "boss". They aren't just fixing everything willy-nilly (though they fix some builder Tech that they had been instructed to fix before the builders left). Later they recognize Teresa the same way when she gets someone killed.
Alt Shift X, are you going to make videos re the last three books? I just finished them...
THANKS
i'm having a deja vu , is this an re-upload
Will you do a video series about the new lord of the rings show ?
Will you be doing new season of Raised By Wolves?????
Week 3 of being subbed, still no “The real Stannis Baratheon” video
"But Amos made friends with her"..."and nobody else was willing to argue with Amos about it...or anything, ever".
How am I just finding out this is back on?
I would really recommend you to explore the lore of Attack on Titan
I'd love to watch this but I still want to read the books and the first couple of minutes quoted directly from them, so I'll come back once I've read them all :)
Your voice is so good, i'm gonna marry some one from the UK.
Dude i miss you from game of thrones
Everyone must watch this show. You won't regret it.
Greek mythology point, but Atlas doesn't hold the world, he holds the sky on his shoulders.
Season 6 was actually one of my favorite. It was absolutely better than seasons 4 and 5.
That's such an interesting take, for me it felt like barely anything happened and the antagonist taken out in the most anti climatic way possible...
Definitely not. 4 and 5 were brilliant. Actually all of them were brilliant
I really liked the first three as well.
Back is Shifty
Hey it just occurred to me. Have you considered making an Elden Ring Video?
Broo pls do a red wedding 2.0 theory and similar kinda video pls pls pls
i already know alt shift x fans hyped for house of the dragon videos
Hey man, would love if you started watching the Witcher! The show seems to have a deep / intertwined plot which seems to relate to the type of content u make. Loved your GoT stuff!
Alt Schwift X > Alt Shift X and it's not even close
Clarissa "Flat Packed A Man" Mao.
Wheres the video about the end?
uhhhhhh what happened to seasons 3-5 wtf have i been in a coma for 3 years
REALLY confusing to get an episode 1 video the day of the finale promoted WITH the finale video. Are you going to do individual videos for each episode?
Right? Am I crazy or did balls get dropped on getting these videos out in a timely manner?
@@LtCaveman This video was originally released on the Amazon Prime UK channel when the first episode was released. They probably had some sort of a deal where they could only upload this on their own channel at a later date.
Just as right now the season finale explanation is only visible on the Amazon Prime UK channel, which will probably be uploaded at a later date on the Alt-Shift-X page.
@@Johnismybestfriend thanks for exposing that. I have no issue with that. I want alt shift x to get paid.
S6 has some of the best character development and combat in the entire series!
This show and its source material are too good to stop now. There’s three more books with major storylines to conclude. I hope Alcon gets to do them justice.
They could finish it up with a movie.
@@kyle857 3 movies, sure. One? That would be way too rushed. I don't want a GoT ending just to have an ending.
Huh, so it's "welwala"... I guess "well voilà" doesn't make that much sense lol
ASX!!!
Hipster feels in space.
Anderson Dawes is missed,,, hope he is in the last series next.
Too bad we haven't seen an analysis on Dark
AltShifX please cover Rings of power tv show when it comes out you make the best videos!
Hi please consider covering other book content, specifically Dragon Age The Stolen Throne which while based on the game series, is a prequel. I wasn't so sure about it at the start but by the end I'd argue Maric, Rowan and Loghain had some of the best character progression in fiction, if also some of the darkest.
Dead Alex ? wtf were the producers thinking ?
Oooooooooh my God!
Can you explain the rest now? Why couldn’t they just finish it out? Sigh. You are a saint, new shows are a pain.
You should do The Wheel of Time
Nowhere in the show do they say Sanjrani is nonbinary.
Finalmench
can you PLEASE explain American Gods to us? Pretty plz?
I like The Expanse - even more, after I rewatched it twice.
BUT... the pacing is awful, and season 6 is starting out awfully slow, considering it's the final season and there's still a metric shit ton of stuff to wrap up.
They get it all wrapped up except the laconia stuff which they clearly leave set up for a movie.
Well if they cant be bothered finishing the story I can't be bothered watching it. I guess I'll skip this season and read the books instead.
They weren’t given a choice
Hey man, can you make a video explaining the lore of Elden Ring. No one does it better. Cheers bro
This show Game Of Thrones’ed itself.
I miss the ASOIAF videos...
He's done what he can. It's up to George now
Doing a Dune video next, then another ASOIAF video like the Tyrion one.
@@trevinwolverine1904 I know, I know... GRRM doesn't help either, though I actually understand his side. I'm a writer too, and writing a big book actually takes time (even if it's 11 years)
@@AltShiftX An hour long! I'm up for it. I'm just saying that I miss them, but take your time, brother 😊 Your content is simple, but it's top quality
@@AltShiftX epic I was hoping you were doing a Dune vid!
Man you gotta put game of thrones videos barely anyone is going to watch these video
Waiting for Dune video
I'm happy with the series as a whole but Cara and her father's actors are so wooden. Take me out of all the Linconian scenes.
why tf are they holding an open casket for a kid
The Laconian stuff doesn't work at all in my opinion. I also don't know what non-book readers are even getting out of it. I know why Cara, Xan and Laconia are important, but I can't imagine show only people caring at all. It doesn't seem connected to anything.
@@doubledown0411 I think the TV writers wanted to leave an obvious thread hanging. It was necessary if they want to eventually do the last three books but it just didn't work for me. It's a shame they didn't just do a 3 or 4 episode mini series based on "Strange Dogs".
I lol'd at the Sanjrani being non binary bit.
This season was 4 episodes of nothing, then 2 where something actually happened, then its over. Extremely dissapointing end to a show that started out so strong (not quite GoT level bad, thank god). I guess the show runners are hoping some other service will pick it up.
Not really, ended pretty well actually. Tied it all up despite the limitations of the budget. Only 6 episodes and still perfectly executed
Yeah I don’t agree
I don't agree but I do wish they gave them a full season rather than just 6 ep.
This show is full of cringe, cliche and deus ex machina moments but is still pretty entertaining and engaging lmao. It also sucks that every mistery that is presented gets resolved literally the next episode so there's not really much of a reason to watch "explained" type of videos. I still watch yours because your narration and presentation is just that good.
What? The best part about this show is that it doesn't rely on Deus Ex Machina bs and instead on the competence of the characters.
@@SuperCrow02 I guess we haven't watched the same show
@@SuperCrow02 Yesterday I watched ep6 s5 (im not 100% sure it was that one). Amos got saved by the daughter of Jules, she regained the ability to use her modification just when he was about to get shot, how convenient. Then Alex and Draper escape because they can drop the core of the ship to hit a torpedo?? Well that's fine i guess they are stranded now... wait they can still turn on the reactor??? Lmao. I guess is not deus ex machina per se because it relies on them but yeah pretty dumb. And every episode has me rolling my eyes at least a few times. I still watch it though, it is entertaining and a visual spectacle.
@@CCSABCD Those are high tension situations where characters make risky choices to save each other. I've seen Deus Ex Machina many times and it does not apply to those situations. Stop looking for things to complain about.
@@SuperCrow02 Ok keep justifying dumb stuff. I dont get why people get so butthurt when they like something, is not a personal attack, you can enjoy stuff and still find flaws to it. I do and i still enjoy the show.
I love your reviews, but this series went downhill with Amazon and this last season feels extremely rushed like skipping several chapters to get to the end in my opinion.
Yup. Imo the series is so good.
Partially agree with that, but the problems started with season 3, where the merged many individual Belter characters together that have a huge impact on the plot later and since then, the belter story line suffered from it. Season 4 was mostly loyal to the book (only leaving out the Havelock storylines), but season 5 was paced too slowly, while season 6 felt rushed although they included the Laconia stuff that only matters for storylines of book 8 and 9, which is strange as they are not going to adapt them.
I wonder if Amazon didn't give them a budget, and maybe made stretch cheap boring parts or something. Omigod season 5 was soooo boring.
It's been a while since I wanted a character to die as much as I did Cara.
....Cara Gee?......why?
I never read the books but I think Amazon made them stretch the show out without a good budget, basically milking the show. I do not know the numbers to confirm, however. The finale was in the vein of the first 3 seasons but seasons 4,5,6 in general were lackluster and boring because of that.
S4, S5, and S6 each encompass the arcs of Books 4,5, and 6 respectively, as well as incorporating novellas that take place at about the same time.
@@sircrapalot9954 interesting. Were they this boring as well?
@@dukaduka506 I blasted through each of the audiobooks in a few days, and have been re-reading each one starting with Book 4. As an engineer, I think The Expanse series is some of the best science fiction out there. Maybe it's not for you.
@@sircrapalot9954 first 3 season were for me. Not the last 3. Don't get tense with me, geek. You're average. Also you being an engineer means nothing. Maybe you just love soap opera.
@@dukaduka506 Ok buddy, whatever floats your dinghy.
The way this season ends is extremely disappointing. While I understand that this is supposed to be IT, I hope they have some kind of plan to finish the books.
More ASIOF please
Well why don't you just go to GRRM's house and tell him to hustle HIS ass up. Can't have new content without new content.
Genuine question, why did they feel the need to change Sanjrani from a male to a non-binary character ? What does it add to the show exactly ?
Representation, I guess? If a character's canon gender doesn't matter (Which maybe it does, I dunno, I haven't read the books), then you may as well use it as an opportunity to portray people who were previously not represented that much. That said, I had no idea they were non-binary until it was mentioned outside of the show.
"the message" - hollywood
This series ended with season 4 for me. Marcos' storyline, the actor, the writing, has been a sustained cringe. I think I got through episode 1 of this season and haven't gone back. After forcing myself through the terrible season 5, I can't waste more time and force myself through another.
cringe
Cringe
I love this series but this last season feels so lazy, so many useless scenes which do nothing for the characters or the plot
it rly feels like more episodes should come.. but its a good cliffhanger atleast.
Disagree completely. What wasted time are you referring to? The S6 episodes are much tighter than previous seasons. The Laconia scenes are straight out of the novella Strange Dogs and pay off in the next major storyline.
Seasons 1 and 2 alluded to events that would take place in 5 and 6. Just because the payoff isn’t immediate doesn’t mean there is none.
Does it really need an explanation? It's all pretty straightforward. Discussion, sure, but not explanation
Woooooow…. Idc
I want to care, but The Expanse went woke. I bowed out during season 5. What a shame Amazon let activist weirdos run this franchise into the ground.
