So, is this the end of The Expanse? I wonder: The last shot certainly felt like it could be an end, but the episode as a whole feels like it’s leaving a lot hanging (because it leaves a lot hanging). … Continue reading The Expanse S6E06: Babylon’s Ashes (Season/Series Finale)

So this is a twofer because my wife got diagnosed with COVID and my life got flipped, turned upside down, and this last week was also back to school, and it was remote and life is insane. So I’m sorry … Continue reading The Expanse S6E04: Redoubt and 05: Why We Fight

So… this feels like getting towards the end, right? What I mean is, the appearances in this episode had some real “back for the finale” energy about them. I’ve opined, in these virtual pages, that it would be cool as … Continue reading The Expanse S6E03: Force Projection

Let’s start with the most important business: Delgado’s joke sucked. And not in a “dad joke” groaner kind of way. It’s just a bad joke and he should feel bad for wanting to tell it. There’s a way a joke … Continue reading The Expanse S5E09: Winnipesaukee

Like last time out, The Expanse this week centered on the story of Naomi Nagata. But instead of family-drama Naomi, we instead are treated to grease-monkey Naomi. And I like grease-monkey Naomi Nagata. In fact, the only Inaros action this … Continue reading The Expanse S5E08: Hard Vacuum

(The title is Lang Belta for “Goodbye,” by the way) Let us take a moment to thank the increased budget of the last two seasons for giving us the improved visual effects on display tonight. We’ve seen ship-to-ship combat on … Continue reading The Expanse S5E07: Oyedang

This episode was amazing. Just really, really good. That’s my review. The storylines were gripping, the action exciting and the character work compelling. I even didn’t mind so much the Naomi storyline, though the Expanse is coming kind of close … Continue reading The Expanse S5E06: Tribes

So to get things out of the way, the reason that eps 3 and 4 aren’t up yet is that I’ve had COVID stuff come up: I’ve watched the shows and have half written up Ep 3, but as those … Continue reading The Expanse S5E05: Down and Out

(If you missed my Episode 1 or have watched all three episodes already aired, I have linked at the end to the threads) So, as I was watching Amos’ return to Baltimore, I gotta say that a lot of what … Continue reading The Expanse S5E02: Churn

Hi everyone, and welcome to another season of my Expanse reviews! Last year, Amazon did me dirty by dropping all the episodes at once and guys… I’ve got a toddler. I can’t binge. This year though, I can do the … Continue reading The Expanse S5E01: Exodus

Okay, then!  Season 4 of The Expanse wastes no time in getting going in its new home, jumping head-long into the events of the fourth book, Cibola Burn. On paper, there’s a huge amount going on in the first two … Continue reading The Expanse S4: Episodes 1-2 “New Terra” and “Jetsam”

Welcome back to the Avocado’s very own Expanse reviews.  Fo vedi to im gut, koyos! I’m Louie, and I’ll be your host.  First a bit about Amazon and how I’ll post this season, and then some about where the show … Continue reading The Expanse Season 4: Binge-watcher’s Xom

Episode Grades: B+; B Season Grade: A- In the close of this season, I’ve been thinking about Syfy’s cancellation of Expanse, and what that means for how this outstanding show is made.  This show really should have been a flagship of … Continue reading The Expanse: Season 3, Episodes 12-13 “Congregation” and “Abaddon’s Gate”

I’m off in New Jersey this week, where I understand they have yet to discover the Internet.  So use this space for your discussion needs, and assuming I survive the natural hazards and unfriendly natives, I’ll be back next week … Continue reading Expanse Discussion Thread S03E11: “Fallen World”

Episode Grade: A- Characters need flaws.  Every writer knows this, it’s Storytelling 101.  Early on, it looked as if Anna Volovodov’s flaw was merely to be her complicity in Sorrento-Gillis’ pre-show sins, and her regret over her role in them.  … Continue reading The Expanse: Season 3, Episode 10: “Dandelion Sky”
