"Abaddon's Gate" 13th and the final episode of season 3 terrifically closed the season. This whole season was the best this has produced, yet. It would be such a shame if the series did not continue further - this is my favorite sci-fi show at the moment, because its story is amazing to say the least - its not predictable and kinda reminded me "Game Of Thrones" - its that good.
Overall, "Abaddon's Gate" was amazing episode - highly intense till the last moment. Can't wait to see this in the future.
I love these enigmatic alien storylines and the beauty of S2E6 best captures that.
The whole series is very intense (and contrary to some people's opinions) fast paced , Season 1's opening episodes give it a bit of bad credit since it's definitely not as good as Season 3, but just change the description to suit its intensive storyline.
I love Amos, I love Anna, and I love their relationship.
Amos is by far my favorite character. He is straight forward, merciless and he actually has empathy even tho he doesn't show it.
The line that sealed the deal with Amos was when Holden talked with him about Naomi and their relationship and he said "I'd do her if she let me".
For these last two episodes, I think we had too little Miller and too much Ashford to explain to us just exactly what is going on, but I guess that'll be explained in season 4.
The actress that played Clarissa Mao was a perfect choice because her face tells everything about her character. I feel like she would literally kill me if I showed up 5 minutes late to a date.
In season 4, I expect more Chrisjen beause I really like her.
Its basically Amos > Chrisjen > Alien Miller > Ashford > Anna > Alex >>>> Naomi >>>>>>>>> Holden >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> regular Miller In my opinion, these two episodes are not as good as S2E6 because they are a cliffhanger, and they answer very little, but they are beautifully made and overall all of Season 3 gets a 10/10 from me, just keep what you're doing Expanse producers because I seriously didn't expect a show from Syfy to be this good since SG1 and Battlestar Galactica.
P.S. I don't like Belters at all so I would love if you actually explain why should I even care about them in season 4 ?
I won't spoil story details regarding the ending of the season but I will say that it has reached new, higher levels of storytelling and feels bigger than ever without sacrificing details or leaving things behind. The characters have a certain level of depth and authenticity to them rarely seen, especially if we consider the last few years in which mainstream commercial success takes priority above all else. The rest, cinematography, music, CGI are all in peak condition without really distracting us from what really matters: The Expanse's version of humanity and its tale across the stars.
Needless to say I am grateful to Amazon who decided to pick it up and averted what might have been the 2nd biggest TV catastrophe after the cancellation of Firefly. I only hope, and pray, that more people will give this wonderful show a chance so that it may go on and reach its rightful place at the top of the sci-fi pantheon.
Thank you for reading. Now go binge watch it.
Did you know
- TriviaAfter the show was canceled by Sci-fi, Amazon Prime picked it up for Season 4.
- GoofsIt has been established on the series many times that ships can be controlled remotely, so no doubt Naomi or someone else remotely shut down the Rosci's reactor. Although it is likely standard procedure to shut down the reactor on a docked ship that has no crew on board for safety reasons, so all the ships docked with the Behemoth likely already had their reactors shutdown, or at least on standby.

Alex Kamal: Holden says that station is gonna wipe us all out unless we make this all happen now.
Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper: I was with him in that thing. It did something to him. I'm not even sure it's the Holden you know that came back.
Alex Kamal: He's running around, putting his life on the line trying to save everyone. That's the Holden I know.
