Getting physically resurrected by aliens is a pretty big deal, imo. To leave that just hanging there is... baffling to me.

Yeah, but their story is at a semi-natural end with what's on-screen.

Not really. The final scene with the two kids was like a million questions being asked but never answered.

my understanding is that it plays into the laconia storylines in the later books after the timeskip. so basically, fodder for a sequel series.

They left the story open because they are trying to do later books but there is a hugeneral time jump. The current actors wouldn't look right with aged on screen.

I'm thinking that animation could be the only way to handle it. Plus Cara and Xar are "out of their time" in the TV series.

So, after buying all six seasons, i decided to give it a re-watch all the way through..  Finally saw season 5, and WOW..  Alex dead, and as for Amos..  Loved the stuff with him in baltimore..  Though what is it with him, and his pet names..

I don't know if it would break forum rules, so I won't link it, but there is an official Expanse Kickstarter that just started. For a comic book set between books 6 and 7. (Though I'm no sure if it will follow the books or the show continuity.)

With the upcoming BattleTech KS, I'll have to pass on this one. (Plus, for the amounts that they are asking for in the different pledge levels I just don' think they are worth it.)

Anyway just thought some of you guys might be interested.

It's following the show's continuity - Alex isn't in it, but I think the idea is to have the events be feasible to be in the interregnum in both cases.

And as with other Boom Kickstarters, the shipping price is so high it'll be cheaper for me to get the three trades when they hit retail, and it's already funded so shrug emoji.

Yeah. I was looking at the higher tier rewards and honestly...they just don't seem worth it for what they are asking for. I got the Galaxy level pledge for the last BattleTech KS, and got sooo much more than what they are offering for their comparable pledge level. I normally love getting exclusive merch for my fan stuff, but these just don't feel like they are offering enough for what asking to pay. (And now I realize I never did remember to turn in my canon character papers...oops. 😅)

Holy heck!  I just checked what the backer tiers for that were and yeah, I'm amazed at how little is in the higher tiers given what they're charging for them.

Along with the SyFy getting back into sci-fi....I was told The Ark is pretty good sci-fi.
