Season 5 trailer got me so hyped.

Seems a lot folks were down on season 4 but I loved it. I think I've watched it end to end at least 4 times and I love how it sets things up for this new season.

I'm so down for this. Anyone interested in possibly playing the tabletop RPG online this Winter? :D

I really liked the interstellar politics and what not of the earlier seasons, and season 4 felt like a long elevator episode. Still good stuff, just not as........expansive (sorry) as previous seasons.

Same as The Boys, 3 episodes at the start then weekly episodes after that.

I can definitely understand why people don't like this, but I can also understand the reasons for it - it keeps discussion about the series going for much longer and keeps it relatively in sync, rather than having a single drop where everyone watches the whole season and there's a short space of time where people are kind of just comparing their impressions of the whole thing.

I understand it from their perspective, but I don't have to like it! I came on board The Expanse a few months before Season 4 released on the recommendation from some friends, so I was all binge all the way.

At least we get 3 episodes on day 1.

I kinda like the compromise of three episodes up front then going to weekly. That way you can have your table setting episodes out of the way and still get to the fireworks factory day 1, then each of the following episodes have time to sink in.

I'm really looking forward to the new season but the weekly episodes schedule sucks. I think I'm just going to ignore the release and look into it sometime next year.

Strange there's no Alex poster, but I'm pretty pumped for this. Can't wait to see where it goes

What's the deal in here spoilers on episode drop and S1-4 are open?

no book spoilers for unaired story?
Best to spoiler tag anything from the books 5 to 8 and anything relating to a new episode after it has aired for at least a week.

General discussion about episodes that doesn't give away plot points etc. is welcome without the use of spoiler tags.

Members should use their discretion and if you think you're spoiling something for someone who hasn't caught up, then spoiler that discussion point.

Really excited about this. Shame I can't binge as much as I want but understandable if they want to extend the season's presence.

Really glad to see this have weekly episodes.

I can't remember where I stopped reading the books, but I guess this is getting into territory where I know some stuff and will be crossing over into new stuff for the s6 endgame. Should make things more exciting week to week.
