    Literally the happiest I've been since Firefly

    Just so good, I know how sad I'll be when it ends. Easily the best writing, story arcs are so well thought out, complex but not so you can't follow.

    Great teams of characters, excellent actors (who you haven't necessarily seen in 100 other shows!) It feels like there's a great deal of collaborating and everyone's pulling in the same direction.

    FX are great, I hear they get better still.

    Is there a site which keeps score of all the subtle or direct homages to classic sci fi...? So many, so good!

    Also - amazing to see such well written strong female roles (Bobby Draper is extraordinary, Naomi is my new Zoe Washburne).

    Simply extraordinary viewing

    Wow.. what can I say! The Breaking Bad of sci fi series. Fantastic writing and awesome acting, with special effects that rival cinema block busters. The only reason I didn't score this a 10 is for the annoying and it would seem unnecessary character that is Reverend Doctor Annushka "Anna" Volovodov. She whines, she whinges and the overdone "missing my lesbian wife" scenes were nauseating. Thank the Lord she didn't reappear after season 3.

    I am that guy

    Can we give Amos some love? He is a tough guy with a soft spot. He saved Prax from becoming like him. When he says" I'm that guy". He is a great character and I think that actor keeps getting better.

    Another stunning episode of season 3

    I am still in shock, the news of the cancellation of The Expanse hit me last week right after I finished my ten-star review of the last episode. I had just congratulated syfy and all involved in this show on their amazing work and twelve hours later the horrible news hit that syfy wasn't continuing with The Expanse. I am joining every "Save The Expanse" group I can find and won't give up until this show is picked up by another media! I urge anyone who enjoys this show as much as I do to do the same.

    This week's episode picks up right where the last ended, with not a minute wasted in the full run time to deliver a tense, exciting, and emotional experience. Multiple stories came together, multiple worlds collide, a reunion, goodbye to an old friend, and another cliff hanger with the delivery of the most perfect final line... I can hardly wait for next week. Another perfect 10/10

      When Draper and the hybrid fall from great heights on Io, they both hit with a big thud. However, given Io's much lower gravity, a 200-pound person on Earth would only weigh 36 pounds on Io, thus they would have fallen more slowly and would have soft landed.
