"A lot of Bobbie's story is from the novella Gods of Risk ," Shankar explained in an interview with /Film. Fortunately, the show did include storylines for all of them, and even pulled from the source material, both from the fifth book, Nemesis Games, and also from one of the The Expanse novellas that James S. If the show followed this trend, that meant that fan-favorite characters Bobbie, Avasarala, Ashford and Drummer wouldn't make an appearance in Season 4 at all. With the exception of a few choice messages to Holden from Avasarala, the entirety of Cibola Burn takes place on Ilus. There's also very light spoilers for the fifth Expanse book, Nemesis Games.

Warning: heavy spoilers below for both Season 4 of the television series as well as the fourth Expanse book, Cibola Burn. "I will often have my feelings about how we should adapt it, what changes we should make, but the three of us talk about those things." Read on to learn about some of the differences these three creative minds agreed upon for the show, including Shankar's perspective on why some of them were made. "At the end of a season, and I will start talking about the plan for the next year," showrunner Naren Shankar told /Film. The Expanse is no different in this regard, and there's a lot pulled in and taken out from the books in season 4. Like most television adaptations, there are necessary differences between the source material and what we see on screen. Each season roughly follows the story from one of the books, and Season 4 is no different the main plot of the show taken from Cibola Burn, the fourth book in what's expected to be a nine-volume book series (the eighth book, Tiamat's Wrath, was published this year, and the final book is expected to come out in 2020).

To be noted: Syfy is adapting the books as a TV show. And despite all my niggles, I've enjoyed reading them and I will read the next ones. From the fifth, a new plot begins that will be solved along the next four volumes which are already planned. The first four volumes constitute a complete story. And in that case, The Expanse fills really well that need.
But sometimes you just want to read a story with big space ships that shoot at each other. The plots are decent, the characters manage to evade the Firefly aftertaste as the series progress and the whole is cohesive.
It could be food for thought for a teenager but if you're an adult it's a bit of a light weight.īut that's the point of the series: it's just an entertaining space opera with a strong hint of scifi noir in the first volume. There's a vague theme about freedom of information, how big bad corporations are big and bad. It doesn't always work.īut at least is there a larger significance to the series, some sort of ethical or political theme? No. But from the second volume, you can feel the authors are really trying to include characters who aren't white heterosexual males and to avoid stereotypes. The first volume can't pass the Bechdel test. There is also an awful lot of stereotypes. I always have trouble imagining that in 4 or 5 centuries society as we know it will be identical. I've had trouble with that because this far away future is exactly the same than ours, apart from some changes in the political instances. The series takes place in a far future when humanity has colonised Mars and some asteroids. Nonetheless, in the latest published volume, the technique makes much more sense. Ok, why not? But it doesn't always serve a purpose, particularly in the first volume when the characters start to share the same events. But most get better as the books progress. Let's face it: I've found many awkward things in this series.
