    About The Expanse:
    The disappearance of rich-girl-turned-political-activist Julie Mao links the lives of Ceres detective Joe Miller (Thomas Jane), accidental ship captain James Holden (Steven Strait) and U.N. politician Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo). Amidst political tension between Earth, Mars and the Belt, they unravel the single greatest conspiracy of all time.
    About The Expanse Seasons 2:
    In this noir thriller set two hundred years in the future, the case of a missing young woman leads a washed-up detective across the solar system to uncover the greatest conspiracy in human history.
    About The Expanse Seasons 3:
    As the Rocinante crew digs deeper into the search for Prax's missing daughter, the war between Earth and Mars turns deadly in ways the solar system has never seen. But a new threat in the outer reaches of the Belt could prove much more dangerous, threatening to test the very future of humanity.
    About The Expanse Seasons 4:
    Season 4 of The Expanse, its first as a global Amazon Original, begins a new chapter for the series with the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the U.N. to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate. Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources but also marked by the ruins of a long dead alien civilization. While Earthers, Martians and Belters maneuver to colonize Ilus and its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.
    About The Expanse Seasons 5:
    In different parts of the Solar System, the crew of the Rocinante and their allies confront the sins of their past, while Marco Inaros unleashes an attack that will alter the future of Earth, Mars, the Belt, and the worlds beyond the Ring.

      Cara Gee is really something ... she just has an animal magnetism that goes over great in everything she is in. I just watched "Call Of The Wild" which is a pretty silly movie, but the parts where she is in it are so great, and she is also First Nation which is so perfect. I hope her career really takes off, I want to see a lot more of her ... especially in The Expanse and Sci-Fi.

      I'd have to say ever. It's better than BSG. You could maybe argue some older shows because they made this possible, but based purely on the merits, this is the best science fiction show in the history of television. Frankly I think if they were to go the full 8 or 9 seasons(not planned unfortunately), this could be one of the 5 best tv series ever made. Even if they only go 6, if done correctly, this will certainly be top 10 all time for me.

Amos is always searching for that good person to yes be his moral compass, but sadly that he could pretend to be a good person for, and perhaps they could "pretend" to love him in return. There is that sick underlying need to be loved and fear of not being "good" all wrapped up in how he does everything. Man Amos is craziest deepest character in the Expanse, the last moments of this episode hit me right in the gut.

    I have to say that finding this podcast has been a gift. With the episodes dropping weekly, a podcast that takes a deeper dive into each episode is needed even more. Listening to how each Actor takes on a scene and how they work off other actors to breathe life into the roles captured on camera adds layers to the show and the time spent watching it.
    This builds up with the comments that are posted. Where I read about how other people have taken in the show. Which I get to share with other fans on other sites or my close friends. Without this podcast and all the little connections to it. The weekly release of the Expanse would be torturous. Thanks to Ty and Wes for this add-on.

      So agree. It also speaks to the depth of the whole show, the writing, acting, and family aspect, that no way could captivate us as an audience without that authenticity. I mean, listing to Keon who is new, finding out they know each other from way back, how he approaches the whole thing, let's you know they love the show, respect the show and the audience, and man do they deliver. Kudos also to that guy and Ty, for asking interesting(Wes's favorite word)questions.

    I feel Amos realizes that left alone for too long, without that gravity of his Roci family keeping him connected. He drifts into a place he now fears. A place he might have visited once a long time ago, and he only fears that place now because he likes the person he is when he is connected to his family. I think Amos realizes if he drifts too far Amos won't care to come back. Because deep down Amos might like the churn.

      Notice that Amos needs a moral anchor. First it was Lydia, then Naomi and now it's actually Holden. I think "The Churn" was a masterpiece of an episode for Amos. That flashback with Lydia, where she says they can both pretend that she is righteous if it means Amos would let her teach him, even though she wasn't at all that righteous...
      But Holden is the very definition of righteous.
      So when Clarissa tested his morals... He realized that he desperately needs Holden to keep him from being a monster.

    I have really loved the character of Drummer so much since seeing her fight her personal and emotional battle when her spine was crushed on the Behemoth. Throughout her storyline, all her history has been implied through the deep loyalty, or not, that she expresses towards people. A lot of the Expanse storylines have a theme of making families when the characters are separated from people they belong to. Drummer has always seemed autonomous and still looking for where she really belongs. So, it's so good to see her finding that.

    Keon's approach towards learning about Marco's character is brilliant. His words are instrumental for how we can eliminate the divide in America. We can always find the precedence for why people are behaving the way they are. The grievances and needs grow, and what starts as a whimper can end up in the willingness to harm others. We often see people as one-dimensional characters, how they are showing up now, but don't see how our institutions, economies, law enforcement and repetitive messaging about what we should care about and protect make us who we are today.

    Again, Wes really comes out with the greatest questions about the characters and really draws out what are the layers these characters have in personailties and motivations. Keon' discription of Marcos pain starting as a whimper, then a cry, and then a punch is something we can all relate to as we grow up in life. Bullying as a child, the hurdles to overcome as a teen, the struggles with an young adult and so on.... then building this into a tension that is about to break. Most good villians are villians who believe that they are doing something right for the general good, but with such a conviction that they do it all the wrong way (Thanos anyone) And Drummer is the opposite of this as the hero who is put in between the rock and the hard vacuum of space. Keep up these aftershows. As a writer of science fiction and sword fantasy myself, I really related to this medium.... great job Wes and Ty !!!! Great performances Cara and Keon !!!!! I am still watching this and got to the point that Ty mention the Samurai code of believing you are dead so that you have no fear / emotion ... funny that I also do Japanese Iaido called Ryushin Shouchi Ryu under Yahagi-sensei (CZcams videos) and I made a similar comment about this on The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 5 The Jedi where the ending was strictly Kurosawa with the wind before the showdown between Ahsoka and the magistrate, and on the outside it was the classic western showdown between the Mandalorian and Michael Bhien's character who paraphrase his lines from Tombstone (Jonny Ringo)...

    It's always a joy to see that the people making your favorite show love it as much or more than you do. :)

    I love how Wes is both the actor and journalist here. I’m here for it.

    It's great to hear Cara read and took so much inspiration from the book characters she is based on! It really shows in her amazing characterization of Drummer!!

      She is a real professional, with real heart. The scene she did pinned between the tractors on the Behemoth with David Strathairn will live forever, not to mention her fixing her own leg and hobbling to the bridge!

    Camina Drummer is the best character in SciFi, and probably one of the best female characters in any *series*, even. I really love Cara Gee's portrayal of her, she easily makes Drummer 90% of what she is.

    It's great to know Cara read the books, not that I'm surprised. She is really fantastic.

    The combo of Michio, Drummer and part Bull took a little time to get used to but im really liking it now. I've just started reading book 7 and hope to see her line continued there

    The actors on this show are so unbelievably handsome, with Wes Chatham, Steven Strait, AND Keon Alexander?!?

    The Expanse is the best Sci-fi show on tv hands down, so original and fresh......I love it.
