my The Expanse rewatch

Hi! A couple of you mentioned there's a comm watching/rewatching The Expanse right now? Could anyone direct me there?

Don't know if I'll be able to keep up, but I'm just finishing rewatching season 1. My plan is to rewatch s. 1-3, and then continue with 4-6, which I never caught up with when it jumped to Prime.

Wow, there is a lot I just didn't remember. Also this is SUCH A GOOD SHOW and really needs to be watched carefully. Like if I find myself getting distracted, I will turn it off mid-episode to pick up later or the next day when I can focus better.

AND IT IS SUCH A GOOD SHOW! Really some of the best science fiction out there. I have not read the books and looking at my terrifyingly large TBR piles, I'm not sure when I could even get to them, but the world building, the future plausibility (keeping in mind I am currently on 1.10) is so good, and I love that we're just dropped in and have to figure a lot of it out for ourselves.

Also, Avaserala is such a fashion icon.

Minim is hosting it! I think right now there's limited posting privileges, but unlimited comments, and the discussion's a little slow right now but frankly that's fine by me. We BURNED through it and are on season 3 already, lol. I haven't read the books either, but the show is just fucking amazing.

I don't even like clothes a whole lot and I just drool whenever Chrisjen shows up in one of her fabulous outfits and schools people in her honey-whiskey voice. That show had a LOT of great roles for women, including older women! And PoC actors too. I absolutely loved the worldbuilding (I know there's an exchange it could be nominated in, but I always feel intimidated by worldbuilding fans, lol).

Four was my absolute least fave season, but six was okay and five recovered pretty well, I thought. But 2 and 3 are my favourites. 2 in particular has that stunning finale.

Josh is rereading all the books right now. He's so happy because there's a bunch of short stories and novellas he hadn't read but they've finally been collected into a single volume or maybe two.
