TV: The Expanse Season 4

[Seedtype]

That was a pretty good finale. I'm glad there wasn't a cliche cliffhanger to end it. (I mean, we gotta wait until 2019 probably till next season anyways)

Spoiler

I remember how excited when I finished Abaddon's Gate and the possibility of mankind being able to colonize a couple thousand star systems(aside from alien mysteries). It's pretty cool, and they could do all sorts of potential stories with it.

That one thing at the end was kinda spooky though.

Ummm, might want to spoiler that bit

Just wanted to say that this thread is what pushed me to click play on this show on Netflix after being in my queue for a while. Only watched through season 2 but it's been really enjoyable.

I'm not typically into Sci-Fi, or I'm very picky, but this one is very cool. I like that it is grounded in a world that includes Earth as a major player and isn't set in some bizarre corner of a distant galaxy. It's relatable.

I think it's pretty grounded in what our early space exploration could be like as well, and I appreciate a sci-fi show where space travel is actually hell on the human body.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

If the expanse has taught me anything, it's that space travel is dangerous AF.

The belter accent really got annoying, though. Jamaican with clipped glottal stops and the Irish speaking th as t.

I was thinking about that as I've been watching. I don't think there is a single "Belter accent" though. Some have a Caribbean thing going on. Some sound distinctly South African (the "th" pronounced "t" isn't just Irish). All have the "main" accent with bits of stuff thrown in. 200+ years in the future, so far away from Earth there is bound to be some linguistic bottle-necking going on. I actually thought it was a good aesthetic choice.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

There isn't just one belter language, unless you count the non-verbal language belters commonly used (I. E. The hand signs, shrugs et cetera).

Everything when it comes to the belt is ad-hoc.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

It amazes me that fans are doing what Syfy should have been doing marketing wise.



Also, about 75% of way done Nemesis Games and holy f***.

 

[Blender]

SyFy is a joke. Hopefully Amazon puts a lot more effort into promoting the show, but otherwise leaves the creators alone to do their thing.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Annoying kid: "Ashford is bossman now and he say you all unda arrest!"
Amos: "K, I'm gonna need my gun back now."

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Amos and Avasarala are the two most quotable characters in the show.

"Like a f***ing pharaoh"

 

[Jussi]

No network tv restrictions, more cursing from Avasarala, nudity and longer episodes.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Don't care about nudity, thought it would be good to see book level Avalsarra swearing

So if it does indeed turn out that their committing to Cibola Burn (I hope they are), then here are some of my hopes for the casting:

Spoiler

Havelock - Bring back Jay Hernendez, obviously

Elvi - Genevieve Nnaji (Elvi is one of my favorite characters in the books, I love every time she kills a small animal and says "For Science!")

Murtry - Adam Nagaitis, though I think Adam could make an equally good Marco. He has that charisma and all inspiring douchebagness that could make him a fit for either role.

Wes Chatham confirmed that Murtry is indeed in season 4. He said the actor is a very talented one.

Also, filming has has started on season 4.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

So the Expanse team has wrapped production on S4 and they recently had their S4 wrap party at the CN tower.

At said party was Burn Gorman

Speculation is, is that he is Murtry.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

I don't think Burn Gorman has ever played a true hero character. He's always either been an egotistical ass hole or a straight up villanous ass hole.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Yep, Burn Gorman is indeed going to be Murtry

*screeeeeee*

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Look like we also got Elvie's actor confirmed today.



There's also this guy as well, though he didn't say who he'll be playing.

My guess is he'll be playing either Fayez or Havlelock. Jay Hernandez is tied up with other stuff, so I'm presuming they have re-casted him or cut him all together.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Really looking forward to season 4. Probably my favorite current show.

 

[jfont]

so when is season 4 available to stream?

so when is season 4 available to stream?

Filming for S4 wrapped up in late January. Their trying to get it to Prime by the end of the year, but with filming having completed so recently there's a chance we may not see it until 2020.
