Amazon official channel???? HOOOOOLY SHITTT, has this being going on for a while? Or is it some new contract or something?!
Anyhow, CONGRATS, this channel DESERVES so much recognition! Extreme high quality content!!! CONGRATS!!!
So Shifty, when those Wheel of Time videos coming 🤔🙄😒? Nvm 😆 🤣 😂
Alt Shift X has done it again! Thanks for breaking down the episode.
Can you do Wheel of Time content?
It's about time my favorite YT creator make videos about my favorite story. Would you consider Wheel of Time? It will be epic.
Amos is a sociopath who comes to realize that his moral sense is broken, but makes up for it by looking to Holden and Naomi to be his moral examples. He doesn't seem to understand their moral decisions, but he trusts them over his own inclinations. He's one of the most interesting, complex and moral characters I've ever seen.
I don't think he's a sociopath. Or at least he is borderline, he cares about other people way to much for a real sociopath. Trust me bro 😂 I just made it up, but it is based on lots of personal experience with people who shoot other people in the face for a living.
@@vladimirmihnev9702tend to agree.. sociopathic behaviour usually involves burst of outrage and violence...Amos always seems to be in control...he usually gets angry about annoyances
But when he kills ppl he is not doing it in an ourage.
Not a sociopath..not a psychopath..
Amos is way out there...he is unique.. that's why he is a great character...
Avasarala saying "I worry about people who throw rocks" in the very first episode is the greatest foreshadowing in the history of foreshadowing
She was right to worry, yes.
There's several similar lines in the first season that I noticed as I was (re)watching the series with my wife. They felt like the biggest winks to the audience I've ever seen.
Ur a foreshadowing.
Shohreh Aghdashloo being sassy is one of the most important parts of this show.
The lord has spoken, a new Alt Shift X video.
With season 6, I will need this for a recap. The timing could not have been more perfect.
My day is made.
I haven't even seen this show but I am here for Alt Shift X.
It’s really fucking good, the first season is a little slow because it has a lot to set up but the payoff is so worth it!!
@@nathanchaytor I got halfway through season 2, and got stuck. It's all the conspiracy stuff happening that I just find a bit tedious, and it seems from watching this that there's a lot more of it.
do watch it, especially the frst three seasons are damn good
@robbie Carroll No, I'm just not a big fan of 'someone behind the scenes pulling the strings in unrealistic ways' type stories. Which this isn't entirely, but is quite a lot of, at least at the start.
@@GedUK To each their own
I personally never felt like there was an element of "someone pulling the strings behind the scenes in unrealistic ways",it's largely just political drama and thriller.
A Different genre that's just probably not your type and that's completely fine.
It just isn't really conspiracy and unrealistically pulling strings i would say,just political conflicts which do seem very realistic considering our history.
Thomas Jane as Det. Miller is one of my favorite characters of all time. Wish he was still around :(
Man I started watching your GoT videos a couple years ago while s8 was airing, and everything I've been recommended from your channel has been so amazing. Can't wait to watch s6 tonight!
Such a disappointment that this will be the last season, this is truly one of the best shows going right now!
And it's only 6 episodes rather than 10 or more like previous seasons. Another great series getting a rushed ending. Oh well.
it is sad that it will end, but what is worst- for a show to end or for a show to last so long it becomes equivalent to the last season of GoT
@@BigMikeMcBastard not true.read what they said. instead of dragging out 10 episodes they chose to go with 6 super action packed and very high budget episodes
I'm happy for a show that has a defined arc instead of becoming an undead husk
@@guccigucci5002 that's great, but how they gonna fit four books into 6 episodes?
I'm kind of worried about this last season. It was like GoT last season with a short number of episodes and so many storylines to tie up in any satisfying way. I have a feeling things will be going at breakneck speed, I just hope we get any kind of satisfying conclusion.
it is ominous af... we had GoT, then westworld... seems every final season ASX touches is destined to disappoint...
Having read the books i can tell you that there is a solid conclusion to most of the current storylines coming up and i'm guessing that is where the show will end.
The last trilogy of books features quite the time skip so we can always hope that someone will re-visit the franchise and wrap up the final storyline in movie format like they did for Firefly.
One of my favorite things about The Expanse is how the plot has evolved and shifted focus so many times. From episode 1 starting out with the mystery of the protomolecule, to the end of season 5 focusing on the fight against Marco Inaros, there is a lot of ground to cover. This video recapped the series really well and with a few genuinely funny moments to boot! I laughed especially at, "but the protomolecule on Eros starts building some weird scary alien shit." It does indeed.
Omg season 6 is finally here ;_; ty for the recap & I totally lost track of time. Alt shift x is the best way to find out your favorite shows are starting back up again! Yay
Thank you, Alt Shift X! We love your videos & this one made sooo happy! I love The Expanse & was afraid we'd never see Season 6 due to the pandemic. Thanks again for all your work & have a wonderful day!
such a great recap to an amazing series! thank you!!
quite sad that season 6 is the last one, could watch a few more seasons of this beauty.
Thanks, I like these recaps, since I can't be bothered to watch the entire thing myself right now. And your recaps are usually better than the show itself, so thanks :)
Congratulations! Your videos are amazing. Entertaining, detailed and informative. They’re lucky to have you.
Really cool that Amazon seems to realize how valuable videos and channels like this are and sponsor it.
As soon as I saw that you uploaded this video, I started watching The Expanse. I’m all caught up now and finally watching this video. What an AMAZING and underrated show.
5:52 Miller's consciousness doesn't live in the protomolecule, the protomolecule is clumsily reproducing the structure of his miller's brain to learn more and interact with Holden.
I would argue that a bit of Miller survived, because even if the Miller we see at the end of S4 is a protomolecule-made construct, it is still actively fighting back and trying to legitimately help Holden.
@@JurgenBlitz but because it’s a major part of his construct
It's both. There's the navigator and there's Miller
Maybe Miller is something like Ilia from Star Trek TMP.
In Star Trek V'Ger made Ilia as a complete mechanical probe, coping her entire biological functions with new mechanical. Mechanical function of the body emulate biological functions perfect, so perfect it managed to copy her personality that emerges while interacting with familiar environment despite programing to collect data.
There´s the navigator and then there´s Miller. Without giving too much away - this is reconfirmed in the newly released last book.
The "rogue" molecule Miller was a version of the navigator who could resample enough old memory together to figure things and have its own will, which is something the molecule lacks.
That "ghost" knew it was fucked and just a memory, so it ended its "life".
The molecule could always bring back the navigator, which could always develop a consciousness again.
To say it in Julie´s words : Gone, and gone, and gone.
Very nice recap video! I love the series and am very excited for this "last season".
this was an amazing recap!! so many things I didn't remember. I was holding off on watching season 6 because as it is the last season and I reaaaally loved the series, I was posponing ending it lol but I'm gonna start it now, so this was super helpful! Thank you so much!!
Excellent recap thanks for your time and efforts. Cheers.
Thank you for the recap! Exactly what I needed to decide whether it was worth watching the show or not 😄
So awesome that our boy Alt Shift X is now making semi-official recaps for major television shows!
You're a freaking legend. Everytime I watch your reviews I realize how much I actually didnt understand lol
Nobody, Absolutely nobody does recaps as excellent and as flawless as. ALT SHIFT X!!
Great recap, my dude. Much appreciated!
thank god for this channel. I had forgotten quite a lot of that
I am scared, worried and extremely excited for this last season. It feels bad that it is going to end and with how some of my favourite shows ended I always worry it will be very disappointing. Very few have ended with good feelings. Thank you for the video. I am hyped. Now to sit down and watch Episode 1!
😀
Books 7-9 in 20 years when the actors have aged enough?
Just praying they don't pull a Game of Thrones
@@FirstMetalHamster I hope so, but it's so risky. Maybe some don't come back, or some die. Who knows. I do hope so though.
@@TheBestcommentor my thoughts exactly
It’s so good. It’s so fucking good
Great recap! Can't wait to start Season 6 tonight.
I don’t watch this show but I love hearing you narrate so here we are. 🙌🏾
Thanks for this, very helpful to remember what happened!
got home from work on a friday with some beer and a blunt and now i see my favourite channel has uploaded another video! perfect evening!!
Great Resume! Never had the patience to watch all 5 seasons.
Thank you for the excellent recap.
Thank to your 1st expanse video I started watching this series I was hooked
The best thing about Amos/Clarissa is when they get back to the Roci and Amos is like "she's with us now" and everybody is ok with it just because it's Amos ;=)
Dude came a long way. Season 1 and 2 I used to think he would try to kill Holden anytime xD
@@samuelsilva8364 or anybody anytime really :=)
Too bad S06E01 did retreat on that a little, with Naome still being cross...
finally getting on to season 6 myself, cheers for the recap
thanks so much for making videos like this, because I always have interest in the series, but I don't have time to watch any
I am hyped, thanks shift-o!!
I am so excited to finally watch this show!
Thanks for AltShift that I learned about this series, especially I play modded Stellaris and SciFi Stories are my jam
I stopped watching at season 3. But this was a great recap. Thanks for the amazing work!
Gaaaah I love this show and Alt Shift X knocks it outta the park again
Great as always!
Excellent recap!!!
I'm surprised you haven't done explainer for the series succession, which can I say is absolutely incredible. Please please please do this 🙏🏽
Your all tomorrows video is a masterpiece
You do know that you are the best channel on CZcams right? Just making sure. 💕
very nice summary, thx!
I went into the expanse with relatively low expectations because I had never been into sci fi at all not even Star Wars/Trek, but this show blew me away. I finished the first 4 seasons within a few weeks. But I fear it going the way of GOT where the visual effects get better and better and the characters are running low on interesting things to do
That is why they decide to finish it with Season 6. Even though there is more book material out there. But season 6 ends pretty much the main Holden story so they decided to put a cut there - because they don't want to move into the timeline where a lot of new stuff and characters are happening.
GoT had a lot of flaws - the main one being the lack of source material and writers incapable of writing without the books to guide them... paired with showrunner duo that rushed the show because they were going to move into Star Wars films and shows (they should have gotten the trilogy of their own after GoT). So they rushed and completely destroyed the GoT (greed is a bitch) which in turn made Lucas Art go back on the deal with them.
Star Wars was obliterated during the Kathleen Kennedy's run, and having a duo that just destroyed the biggest thing on TV do the next Star Wars trilogy was a sure thing to bury the entire franchise worth countless billions.
In short, in order to avoid all the standard problems, The Expanse will end while it is at its peak. Will some things be left unsaid? Yes. There are several books and novels after this season. But even those are not the end. The writers of the Expanse novels actually decided that on their own - not because they don't have ideas for more, but because they wanted to provide a framework for the universe, leave certain things unsaid, and then leave the franchise to the fans.
They established the setting, the early heroes, some history, and added 1300 star systems to the story (explaining but a few). And with the framework done, they will leave it to the fans, to keep the franchise growing and developing as fans want it, for decades to come.
Which is in large part what franchises like Star Wars and to some extent Warhammer 40K did. So you don't depend on the original writers to be there for 40 years, telling stories - no, you create the world, tell the story of its origin and its heroes, and then let the fans fill with all sorts of amazing stories in the future.
So don't worry, it won't go the way GoT did.
@@Wustenfuchs109 Loved your multi synopsis here. More franchises should go the route of setting the stage for a few decades and then letting fan writers take over for future stories. Very cool way to do things and ends up being highly inclusive of many great story tellers. You can feel the sense of a living, breathing universe that changes in hundreds of different directions all at once when this direction is taken.
I've watched the entire show from the beginning, but couldn't keep track of the details and subtlety. This video really helped me put everything together. Like the very literal representation of Amos helping Clarissa out of a deep dark place. I watched that ep, but the metaphor never dawned on me.
Thanks for this video. Just like the Game of Thrones days, it was extremely helpful!
Thank you for this, great as always! I can't wait for the season to be over so I can binge it. What are the chances of doing a video on the foundation tv series? It thought it was good but book readers seemed pretty unhappy.
Thanks for this. I realized I missed a few things.🙂
So stoked season 6 is FINALLY here.
You cant explain 6 season of TV series in under 16 min.
*Alf Shift X passes his beer to Alt Schwift* _Hold my beer_
this is one of the best serieses that was halted in the middle for no reason other than amazon.
o yeah baby you gonna do The Expanse and maybe Wheel of Time?
And come on Alex was much more than just lasagna, I still cant belive they killed him.
ayyyy alt shift x is back !
love this show
thank you!
Good recap. COME ON SEASON 6 WOWOOEoEOOEoOoO!
Too bad the show is ending, but considering that the last trilogy features a big time-skip we can always hope that someone will pick up the series and wrap it up in movie format as the actors age won't be the thing holding it back from happening.
I really hope this is true, because there is so much more in the books, even if it’s a movie I wouldn’t care, there is so much more involving the ring builders and the dark gods, they need a better ending if they are going to end the series
Thank you
The first time I watched The Expanse I rewound "Wherever I god damn liiiiike" at least ten times.
Shohreh’s magnificent voice is a global treasure. Such gravitas! Such husky, breath-y majesty. That is a voice you obey.
SIMPPPPPP !!!
@@vamsidharachakravarthy 🤣🤣🤣 Fact
Jeez, w/o that video I would have totally missed that season six is on the air already... o_O
thanks!
Okay, but I'm going to watch it all again anyway 😄
I never really understood Ilus and everything that went on there. Thanks for this recap, it’s become … a bit more clear.
Props to the marketing team, I am almost watching this now lol
👏👏 finally! I'm so ready for the new shit. But I just watched this again cause it's just great. Nearly everything right, except Tool owns the rights to Mars airwaves, so the music wouldn't suck from Mars. It's be Prog-space Rock. Which already sounds great!
Aw fuck I didn't know this whole video was an ad for Amazon Prime till the end. Clever bastard.
Mao didn't want to weaponize the Protomolecule. First and foremost, he wanted to use it to allow humans to be able to leave our solar system. Protomolecule weapons (the hybrids) were the by-product as he needed funding and inluence to fuel his reaserch. In the end, he did achieve what he wanted as the gates have been opened. He said once in the show how dissapointed he was that the first thing Mars and Earth governments wanted to do with the Protomolecule was to make it into a bomb.
Dear Alt X. Can you do few videos explaining the history of Witcher (Netflix). I just finished season 2 and it was incredible. I do have a lot of questions & know that you can answer them. Thank you!
You should dive into the Wheel of Time! There's a ton of content there in the books and lots of differences in the show so far, could be an interesting one for the channel!
Yeah, that would be amazing. WoT is perfect for someone like Alt Shift X to analyze.
Oh ffs I didn't even realize it was back until I saw this video
It's funny to me how we can't find any examples of mass change without violence. Yet it's still considered wrong (or coded wrong in stories), when it's used. lol.
You gatta do some wheel of time stuff
One of my dreams and one of my goals is that one day, if my novel is successful, this channel that I admire so much, makes a recap about it.
Wow... Turns out so much stuff happened in the first 3 seasons I thought I watched like 6 of them!
Game of Thrones but in space, awesome TV series!
Miller was my favorite character. Hands down.
Wheel of time or Foundation series. You could put your awesome analysis to those shows.
Not sure if I should the series as a whole or THIS. MAYBE BOTH?
7:46 Karl Tanner, fooking Legend
I watched S1 and 2. Had some great moments but felt slow or obvious in others. Guess I'll just take the recap and jump into 6 to finish it :)
Season 3 is overwhelmingly regarded as the peak of the show. That's not to say it's gotten really bad, but the story told over the course of season 3 is one of the best seasons of television to ever exist.
@@TheBestcommentor so I might rethink my plan... I stopped cause the whole Eros into Venus stuff just felt "meh" to me, like would be more of the same, but the recap showed a lot that wasn't hinted before.
Don’t know where else to put this but would love to see a video about foundation.
I watched the first episode after I saw that it existed and didn't watch more because it was not like the books. After watching this recap, it doesn't get better.
Actually I just finished reading book 1, and have to say I didn’t like the 2 men pov. The TVs show is way more interesting with Boobi D. Drummer and Avasarala storylines.
lol. The show is better than book imo
I'm really curious to discover the writing of this last season as it will be quite different from the book. In the books the Laconia arc was really good.
Good morning!
Can't watch this right now, so I'll play it on mute and like it. Oh, and obviously I'm commenting.
SEASON 6 IS OUT??? EVERYONE STAY CALM!
season 6 * , first episode is out on prime, it's the last season
my favorite season is 2,4 and 5, rip Alex you'll be missed, and thank you Alt Shift X for recommended the expanse for me, it is good show, and i also recently read tiamat's wrath.
Praying for some Wheel of Time content
Are you going to be covering the books? That Duarte guy really does go places…
Will Alt Shift X ever make a video about some stories in Warhammer 40k universe, or maybe about this new series about the Asimov's Foundation books? I hope
Final season:
Looks at books left.
Sad noises.
I love this show in an unhealthy amount of obsessive. Not sure if I said this right.
I've got the illest crush on Drummer.
