Anyone else think the last four episodes have been poor?

I remember this being one of the weaker parts of the books too. I always thought Naomi was the least interesting of the crew and I wasn't too fond of Peaches in the book either so she is actually an improvement. Michio/Drummer was the only really good part.

This whole season/book is mostly set up for the next one

Just you perhaps. I mean, the pacing might be up and down but for me this has been The Expanse back to its best; that beautiful mix of character, action, and character through action.

I thought the last episode (#8) was excellent, definitely slow but Naomi's scenes were riveting viewing!

The last few episodes have definitely slow moving but I'm still very much enjoying it

I think that it's been wonderful. What's not to like?

Mars is collapsing with Bobbi and Alex getting the word out in time. Avasarala is back. Inaros is horrifically toxic to those following him. Amos shows wonderful self awareness that he NEEDS Holden et al. He wants to be a good guy but knows he has no filter, so needs good people to guide him

Holden and Naomi had to take a step back to allow the non ring plot to develop. But still keeping them central.

The only thing that I'm missing is the Roci

The Expanse has often been compared to Game of Thrones in terms of its overall plot, kingdoms squabbling while a larger threat percolates in the background, but this season is the closest it has come to copying how it structured its seasons, multiple storylines (pov's) that we drop in on every week building to a climax at season end. It worked in GoT it works here for me because I'm invested in these characters.

The only thing that I'm missing is the Roci

Do I want another season of disparate storylines of the scattered Roci crew? No!

 

[Son Of Jack]

Amazing season, the finale shocked me having read the books up until this season, but with all the allegations I found it was the perfect way to go really.

 

[Tom]

Very good finale for sure, loved the way Amos got "Peaches" onto the Roci. Only bit I didn't get was what happened to the MCRN ship just as the admiral was outlining his plans for the fifth Reich? I haven't read the books so maybe obvious to anyone who has.

The last two seasons were bang average, hope this is a return to form.
