OK, I just became aware of the whole Cas Anvar thing. That is just sad and disgusting and I feel bad for liking his performance on the show 
No, he has not been convicted of anything, and the investigation is still ongoing, but according to the Reddit thread there's a bit too much smoke for it to be no fire. Sheesh. AFAICT S05 is already shot and in post, but it seems unlikely that Anvar will be a member of the cast going forward.
On a brighter note, I just finished rewatching S04 and I must say I liked it much better than on first viewing. I remember the plot as being overly focused on Holden & Co's pointless adventures in the alien structure on Ilus, but to be honest, it's not as bad as I remember it. There's still a lot of stuff going on with Bobbie and Avasarala and Ashford/Drummer at the same time. The thing that jumped out at me, though, is that Avasarala has lost her manners and keeps throwing temper tantrums and dropping the F-bomb in every other sentence. Is this a part of the story (with people suffering from the onset of dementia, basic manners usually goes first) or is it just inconsistent writing? Not sure, but it's jarring and I didn't spot it first time around since there was a big temporal gap between seasons.
All that said, I'm eagerly looking forward to S05 of The Expanse.
