The Expanse has been canceled...
There is a "save the expanse" movement happening. People started a petition and even paid for a plane to fly around dragging a " # save the expanse" sign

This has been the best Sci-Fi show on in years. Very disappointing.

In thinking about the writing, long story threads intertwined with some not-yet-revealed story arc... we are in agreement.

The cinematics, The raw grit, danger... more Firefly.

Overall quality is at the level of both, which is superb. I put Farscape at or just under that select grouping.

I'm trying to limit myself to watching one episode per week even though I'm behind and have a couple more episodes ahead of me. It's hard, though, knowing this is the last season.

We started binge watching this a few weeks back, just before I was informed of the cancellation. I sure hope this gets picked up. We are only 2 episodes behind current now.

I haven't been disappointed by the cancellation of a TV show in a long time, but this one bothered me a lot.

Here's to hoping the news articles above come to fruition!!

Just heard that Amazon picked it up for streaming Season 4.

I'm not a fan of his character. I really enjoyed Season 2 more than 1 because he wasn't around.

Honestly I think casting Jane in the Miller role was by far the best casting choice the show made, Followed by the Fred Johnson casting.

Julie was dead well before then....
He popped his suit & infected himself.

I bet the show skips his biggest story arc post-mortem, but he'll play a role for a while.

(trying to explain it a bit without giving away a bunch of the book story since I'm not 100% sure they'll follow it).

I'd have to give spoilers in order to answer your question.
