Why is the protomolecule ring still in the credits?
The first seasons were about the protomolecule and humanity's expansion in the solar system. There was an abundance of real SciFi storylines, world building and character development.
With the last two seasons, even with a extra-solar new star system discovered the universe has been shrunk to soap opera size. Why care about the protomolecule ring and alien civilizations if you can have family drama?
The only explanation I have is that it's an exercise to appeal to a new viewer group, while barely keeping everyone else streaming with some cgi and battles. And the writers probably realized that they are unable to cram the book stories into the last two seasons, so they stopped trying. What a pity.
