Naomi Nagata was such a debbie downer in the first 2 seasons. Not all sci fi protagonists have to be big damn heroes, but there's got to be a middle ground? Holden I don't hate, but when I picture him in the show, he's slouched against a doorway, overalls around his waist, drinking a coffee. I didn't mind Miller at all, it's the pair of Holden and Naomi Nagata (to use the name she's referred as all the damn time) that stop me ranking this perfectly. On a side note i liked the easter egg of all the soldiers in the assault team that dropped to medina in cargo flotsam with amos and bobby had names from famous sci fi characters from Ripley to Mass Effect's Shepherd (they pull up a list and you can read them all on that), was a cool nod ![]() So yep, sad it's all done now but it really needed to get back to the protomolecule stuff or something of that ilk to capture the magic of first bunch of seasons Still, when you look at the cast of great characters from holden, amos to bobby and my favourite drummer (defo not in the last season enough) and many more, they could carry the show despite a story arc i didn't really care for The protomolecule arc (up to the establishment of the ring) was fantastic and some of the best sci fi on tvĪfter that it was still a quality show but pretty pale in comparison - the fact i always hated the character of naomi and even more her limp ass son didn't help cos now i've got that twat added to naomi that i couldn't stand seeing on screen and didn't give a flying fuck for any of their content, was hoping naomi would get offed at some point in earlier seasons and wanted the kid offed as soon as he showed up as a weekly character Not sure what happened there, i like to binge rather than do shit weekly so presumably i was waiting for it to air the last episode before downloading it all and totally fucking forgot about itĪnyway, was ok, tho tellingly the most interesting shit that i wanted to see was the short passage at the start of each episode about laconia Only to find it dropped fuckinga ages ago Well shit, been waiting for the final season for ages and thought fuck it, it's been ages, check wiki and see when that shit is dropping. I don't think this show is finished and will continue with another spin off series, or a direct companion or even a film or two. Non of the characters got butchered at the very least, and they left it open for what will almost certainly be more to come. I think that would be massively unkind to it, and at least it got the chance to be finalized after SyFy criminally cancelled it. Not the disaster of the last season of GoT by comparison by any stretch of the imagination. I think the show went off the boil when the intrigue of the Proto Molecule lore got replaced by the war between Marcos, the Belters and Earth. He just came across as a bit of a cartoon villain with zero gravitas or menace. Also, I think the actor playing Inaros was a bit shit. It'd be like starting up Mass Effect 2 and proceeding to the last 'Suicide Mission', which is sort of what the finale came across as being like a last level of a video game with a cheat code on so you couldn't lose. It just felt a little flat with no sense of the stakes. It felt like the last episode needed at least two previous to it to set that all up and build the tension. ![]() What’s interesting is Holden has remained himself, probably because by the time the “ghost” of Miller started to communicate with him, its goals were not to infect and spread like in Eros, but to guide Holden.I agree with the consensus that the final series felt rushed. After what happened with Julie Gao and the creation of human-protomolecule hybrids, the idea that the Protomolecule can change human physiology is nothing new. When trying to convince Fred Johnson of the dangers of not destroying the Protomolecule, Holden explains he believes his interactions with the Protomolecule-created Miller have altered his brain and now he can see strange beings, which he believes are the ones who exterminated the creators of the Ring. Related: Why The Expanse Is Ending With Season 6 This is also true for the TV series, but now the first episode of season 5 has given an explanation as to why Holden can talk to and interact with the Protomolecule and the Ilus ruins. It’s no wonder, then, that he would be the one the Protomolecule would seek. He’s arguably the main protagonist and thus the central figure of the plot. While the book series The Expanse has multiple point-of-view characters that change across the eight novels released so far, James Holden’s presence has been constant.
