    I cant wait for season 4!! Thank you Amazon!

    I loved the ending of season 3! I have complained about characters in other reviews and I think their purpose was revealed to me in this episode. Love the possibilities of where this story can now go (obviously the books already tell much of that but I've yet to read them)

    What an epic season finale

    That was epic, absolutely brilliant. The characters' developments and interactions are amazing. Not to mention the extremely well-written story and dialogs, the cinematics, the music, the acting, the suspense, and the director. The best Sci-Fic show ever... Almost the best TV series out there.

    Love it, keeps getting better!!!!

    Strathairn, outstanding. All main characters fantastic. Cara Gee.. great job.. This show just gets better and better........ Yup and Dominique Tipper is excellent and.......is smoking hot🔥!!!! Great thing about this series is it's plausibility. No wierd aliens. It's not star trek or star wars or Galactica. Keep it real..... exploratory.

    Loved it!

    Glad it was finally picked up by Amazon. This season was uneven - with a couple of filler episodes - but globally I enjoyed it very much. Not only is it good SF, but I especially like the fact the characters are diverse (ethnicity, age, gender, orientation). That is a nice improvement compared to most of today's production. Well done, and please, make a fourth season even more enjoyable ! :)

    Terrific ending of the amazing season

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    "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.

      After the show was canceled by Sci-fi, Amazon Prime picked it up for Season 4.
    • Goofs
      It 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.
