Time to dredge this thread up again I think, since I recently watched the sixth and final season of The Expanse. And what can I say?
On one level, I thought I would feel more strongly about the show ending. The way it is, it felt like a shrug. It's over, it's done, there won't be any more. That's too bad, but I haven't been blown away by the show after the Amazon takeover, and this was sadly pretty much what I expected. The Expanse just fizzled out in a hurried, inconclusive way. To be clear, I did appreciate S06. It does more right than it does wrong. But without a doubt it was more of a whimper than the bang it deserved.
On a different level, I would be very surprised if this is the last thing we see from the James S. A. Corey universe. Because if this is it, if The Expanse is truly done and dusted, then why the hell did the producers go through the trouble and expense of setting up the whole unresolved Laconia storyline so late in the show? I feel pretty confident there will be more. Maybe not featuring the crew of the Rocinante, but still.
There is hope
