Ando du livit da livit da Belta.

With the crew of The Expanse present, Jeff Bezos announced that The Expanse is Saved! Season four will air on Amazon Prime! Now that is some good news to wake up to this beautiful morning!

The statement that all fans of the show were waiting for was delivered by Alcon Entertainment Co-Founders and Co-CEOs Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove: “We couldn’t be more excited that The Expanse is going to continue on Amazon Prime! We are deeply grateful that Jeff Bezos, Jen Salke, and their team at Amazon have shown such faith in our show.”

The program, based on the Expanse series of books written by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck under the pen name James S.A. Corey, is hard science fiction produced with a keen eye for detail. The program’s attention to detail creates a very realistic portrayal of the near future where Earth, Mars, and the people of the outer belt known as Belters, struggle for dominance and survival. Add to this mix a weaponized alien proto-molecule that can repurpose DNA, and you got one smashing good show. It’s by far my favorite show, and I was dealt a massive blow when I heard Syfy had canceled the show after only three seasons. Whew! Disaster averted.

If you are a fan of the show but are not reading the books, you should change that behavior and start reading! There is a richness of detail, and a strong feeling of family/crew played out in those pages. I will admit that you will have a little bit of reading to power through as the book series is on Book Seven with “Persepolis Rising.”Book Eight, “Tiamat’s Wrath” is due out on December 4th, 2018.

Kowltingim gut, bosmang! (Belter Creole for Everything’s good, boss) Yes, Indeed!

The Expanse is perhaps the best Science Fiction show currently on television. The program, based on the Expanse series of books written by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck under the pen name James S.A. Corey, is hard science fiction done right. The program’s attention to detail creates a very realistic portrayal of the near future where Earth, Mars, and the people of the outer belt known as Belters, struggle for dominance and survival. Add to this mix a weaponized alien proto-molecule that can repurpose DNA, and you got one smashing good show. No issues, right?

Not exactly, even though the show got renewed for a 3rd season, there are grumblings that the show might not make a fourth season. It turns out that even though the show is popular among sci-fi fans, the ratings have dropped off and predictions are that a fourth season is unlikely. Unless the Nielsen ratings start counting all us science fiction fans, the Expanse may be in trouble and succumb to the same fate as Firefly, Farscape, and even Star Trek TOS.

That’s where you come in. There is a call to arms for all fans of the show to purchase the Expanse one episode at a time or to go ahead and pay for the entire season regardless if you have the Syfy channel or not. Make your voice heard through your pocket book as I have done by buying season one and two from Google Play.

While you are thinking over my proposition take a few minutes to watch an epic firefight scene from the Expanse that I included with this post. Have you ever seen a more realistic space battle filmed for TV? I was grinding my teeth throughout this scene, and I did not breathe a sigh of relief until Naomi Nagata did at the end of the fight.
