Featured reviews
"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.
The scope of this episode promises a 4th season which will certainly take hardcore science fiction series to a whole new level, with the pacing, acting, soundtrack and CGI to make us feel like we are taking the journey with the protagonists in a futuristic universe.
And what a journey it is; the episode is ambitious in scope and pulls off nearly every question it tries to answer: How much can a person adapt under duress (applied to thousands of people stuck in the Ring)? We see alliances change rapidly, and characters experience life-altering epiphanies in the midst of an unfamiliar, alien space.
For those who want to get into the series, now is a good time. For me, this episode was one that tied off everything that happened so far; all the characters and plotlines that have been introduced have been leading up to this critical moment. You won't be disappointed!
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 ?

- 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.
