Thanks.


At minimum, I'd think not until it's all made it onto Prime.
Since they're doing weekly releases, it'll be a few weeks until Prime even has it all.

Just finished S6E2, building up nicely, just hope they have the time available to wrap it with a nice bow & not in a rush.

It's the final season. Do we really need to deal with emo pirate son?

He's the key. Either he's going to kill Marco to end it all, or he's going to kill Marco and in a twist he's going to become something much worse.

Currently half way through the final book Leviathan Falls.

To say they have a lot to cover in the remaining episodes is a British level understatement.

Why are all these streaming services so quick to buy up and end prematurely every sci-fi series they can?

Shit, they will give some crap show like The Sex Lives of Coeds 30 seasons to finish the arc but will shut down something fun early like The Expanse.

BTW, I know why. But it still sucks. Asshoes.....

It makes sense to end here. It properly breaks in the overall story line in the books, just before the big time skip.

Waiting on a few to get released before diving in, which gives me time for S2 of The Witcher.

Yeah, it's dumb of me, but I couldn't help shouting, "Three-sixty, no scope!" on the first railgun shot of episode 3.

Thanks for the reply. It's moot now. I finally signed up for Amazon Prime just to watch this. I figured I didn't want to wait another year or two to finish the series off.

That said, they released Season 4 onto Vudu after Amazon picked up the series.

From what I can gather about this latest season just released five or six episodes. From reading the brief synopsis of episodes I'm not seeing the end of the series. I'm up to date having watched episode three. Will there be another drop of season 6 episodes at a later date? If they're going to end a massively complex series with only 6 episodes why bother.

So far (at least from last Friday when the third episode dropped) they are only airing an episode per week. Where are you getting your info?

Wikipedia shows S6 to be 6 episodes, so we're halfway.
Lot to wrap up in 3 remaining hours.

I haven't read the books, yet, so not sure if we're headed toward an accelerated GoT disappointment, or if they can tie a nice bow on the finale.

They also buried stuff in the bonus content, not a clue why they didn't make this more public.

PSA: You’ll miss 25 minutes of The Expanse’s final season if you don’t pause it

The best explanation I could find, and from a source I've never heard of before so who knows, is they were offered so much money and six episodes was all they could get out of that.

Bit of a nothing episode. All setup & moving the story along with not much else.
Lot to resolve in 2 more hours.

I read Leviathan Wakes and I think I'm in for the whole series. I remember reading an excerpt some where of one of the books. It was clunking and not well written and put me off reading any of them. But, I'm glad I tried it. Its not Clarke but its pretty good.

Just got the first three books on Amazon. Wasn't quite willing to pull the trigger on the 8-book set. LOL

Don’t forget the novellas! While not critical to the main storyline, they provide a lot of interesting back/side story and info.

Have about 100 pages left in the first book. I feel like the last few chapters has been a little dull and hasn't held my interest as well as the first 2/3 of the book.
