    I guess the obvious question is: How did they manage to let "Alex Kamal" die so conveniently, even though news of his scandal emerged only (AFAIK) the shooting had ended?

    Someone found these "pre-controversy" shots of Alex on Luna:

    So... is this a new scene or was he deleted via CGI? Looks like the former to me. The background actors seem to be different ones.

      I think the same thing. Also, look at the vacant chair next to Alex. That's probably CGI

          If they re-shot the scene, why would they need to use CGI?

                That's awesome. Now I need to watch this series. I just don't have much time for TV.

                  Be patient with it. Very patient.

                  The first 3 episodes are confusing AF, and you have NO idea of what's going on, or who the players are. Then, it all begins to click.

                    Ah! See I have watched the first two or 3 episodes more than once now. I keep falling asleep because it's late at night. I might have to initially attack this one during the daytime hours. lol

                        The 80s-s style pornstar mustache is a nice touch.

                            Targeting in The Expanse gives a nod to Star Wars.

                                    OK, so take the chase between The Pella and the Rocinante and change the soundtrack, just a bit.

                                    (sound on)

                                        Watched Episode 5 yesterday.

                                        I wasn't thrilled by Ep 4, but this one was pretty good. Looks like it's going to be an epic finale.

                                        No chance there's going to be a Season 7?

                                          The authors and show runners have said that "the door is open" to continue the story. They have also said that Season 6 ends on a "satisfying note." I can see that happening, with the presumed defeat of Marco and the Free Navy. Now, the ring gates are opened, and humanity can explore the galaxy. End of story. Satisfied.

                                          But, that's not what happens. The third act is fantastic, and I hope it appears in some format. I could see it being a limited-run miniseries (8-10 episodes would do it).

                                          (spoiler if you haven't read the books)

                                          Book 7 jumps forward 30 years.

                                          Laconia (where the kids are) is now a thriving world, and war breaks out between Laconia and Sol (with Mars, UNN and the Belt being soundly defeated). Duarte is using protomolecule tech to build super-powerful ships.

                                          And.

                                          Avasarala has died.

                                          The rest of the crew are aging and their final mission is to stop the war from expanding to engulf all the 1300 worlds opened by the ring gates.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
