The Expanse season 5 ending explained. Deep dive into what the end of the season means for the characters and the rest of the series. Please subscribe! - bit.ly/PetePeppers
The season finale of season 5 of the Expanse wrapped up the show’s penultimate season. Amazon Prime announced that the show was renewed for season 6, but it will be the final one on the streaming giant. The fifth season was one of it’s strongest with the Roci crew spread out, and Marco Inaros’ terror attack causing chaos in Sol system.
The ending of season 5 sees the crew of the Rocinante back together, and exposes who Marco’s secret Martian collaborators were. In the final episode the crew lose a member when their long time pilot Alex Kamal (Cas Anvar) dies. He was rescuing Naomi Nagata (Dominique Tipper) with Bobbie Draper (Frankie Adams), and suffered a stroke from a high-G maneuver.
Amos Burton (Wes Chatham) and Clarissa Mao (Nadine Nicole) have escaped Earth, and he convinces Holden to let her ship with them. She tried to kill him so it shows how much he trusts Amos.
Camina Drummer (Cara Gee) defied her Free Navy orders to destroy the Roci in episode 10. Marco Inaros’ (Keon Alexander) crewmember Karal was aboard the Tynan with Drummer, and she was killed by one of her crew named Michio. This saw their husband Serge spaced in retaliation, and that split the Drummer faction.
In the season 5 finale Marco and his fleet had a decisive victory in the battle for the Sol Ring Gate. With a coordinated attack that involved Sauveterre’s breakaway Martian fleet, and control of Medina station the Free Navy was able to dominate the Outer Planets. Sauveterre and the other Martian ships transited the Laconia Ring, and the protomolecule had already been delivered to Laconia.The Barkeith disappeared when it tried to transit the ring.
On Luna, in Season 5 episode 10, Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo) is Secretary General again, and she’s declared martial law for Earth. She tries to keep morale high at a party, but the attack on the Sol Ring interrupts. She watches with James Holden (Steven Strait) and Bobbie as the breakaway Martian fleet leaves the system. Holden tells her that Marco probably paid for the Free Navy Ships with the protomolecule sample.

From what i heard from others is that the protomolecule builders were either a level 2 or a level 3 civilization on the Kardashev scale and they were wiped out by a type 4 civilization.

@wilemelliott 3 года назад

eh...not exactly.... The Builders would definitely be at least mid tier type II on the Kardashev scale, as they had not harnessed the power of the ENTIRE galaxy [that we know of...if in book 9 they find gates to other gate hubs that take them to other galaxies, this puts them at a full type III by my estimation] because they could only go to star systems where there were planets that could support the protomolecule creating a ring [star systems with no planets, or the wrong materials, or too energetic a star that would destroy the PM en route are not viable]. Of course there are things in book 8 that put them on the mid to high end of a type II but I won't spoil them. As for what killed them...not sure they fit anywhere on the scale as we perceive it...but discussing it would also involve some serious spoilers. From what we have seen so far, we don't know if they do what they do or can do because its just a natural ability, or if its because they have "harnessed the energy" to put them on the Kardashev scale. Remember the scale relates to how much energy has been harnessed by a civilization...we don't even know if the killers have harnessed the power of their own star system, just that they were able to kill the builders and the builders tried burning out systems and quarntine, which could be the end result of some kind of plague, and not even a civilization.

@PlayaP69 3 года назад

I picked up on it after Drummer woke up with the guy, then went to sleep with the girl. Certainly, when both the guy and girl kissed and slept together. There was also a hint at one point when Serge caressed the other guy around the time when they were all together deciding to side with Marco. But overall, it was obvious and refreshing. . . The show takes place in the 24th century. It's easy to understand that all this largely believed idea of thinking monogamy is the way, that the world has now, is archaic and evolved. I'm just anxiously waiting for when Amos has a sexual/romantic evolvement with a guy 😂. It's been hinted, and a near miss, in previous seasons. Now, I know they are just dangling the carrot in front of us, while we wait for it do drop. And drop hot and heavy I hope 😉.

Me too, and I think it feels like it was forced in for some "reasons" because it's unnecessary for the story and being on a ship/station for a longer time doesn't make you automatically a polyamorous swinger.

I'll miss Alex in the show, he was such a unique character. An ex-martian pilot, a south-asian who is basically a space cowboy - accent, musical preference, attitude and all, a man who genuinely seemed to care not just about his crew, but everyone; but especially those he felt he needed to protect. The scenes where he went back into the simulation over and over to see if there was any way to save the people who were lost in the landing pod definitely showed that side of him and how frustrated and responsible he felt.

I kind of liked how Alex met Sauveterre instead of Duarte. In the books, he seemed awfully suspicious from the moment we first met him; and I was worried how the show would portray Duarte without giving his intentions away. But, considering how extremely secretive and carefully precise Duarte is about making long term plans, it makes sense that he would try to remain a boring, ignorable background character up until the Laconians broke away from the Solar System. Heck, he hid his intentions on a large scale by pinning the system's focus on Marco. I could see him doing the exact same on a small scale as well.

Pete, I have been watching your videos on my TV. As a result, I haven’t been able to leave comments. Your series of videos about Season 5 was just fantastic. Thank you so very much. Season 5 was yet another pinnacle of achievement for The Expanse. The acting! The woman playing Karal was fascinating in her portrayal. But so was Marco as the mad genius. That being said, the crown of achievement goes to Naomi. The fact that this entire cast is overlooked for awards is shameful. I am not at all curious about TV, especially in this age of too many options. I look forward to your future videos stirring my interest to possibly investigate new shows or films.

The Irony is that Marco and Chrisjen wanted essentially the same thing, to control traffic through the ring gate.

@artruisjoew5473 2 года назад

It really is not the same. Marco wanted to control the ring so that nobody can colonize it. He did it because he knows that the belt and its people is done for: with new habitable planets, nobody will need the resources from the belt anymore. And since belters body often reject the anti gravity treatment it means the belters cannot colonize the habitable worlds, and those who can turns into normal people within a generation, which means the belt will go the way of Mars but in a much worse way. Nobody needs the belt at this point. If the belt evaporated the next day, nobody will care - except that there will be less piracy between the gate and the inner planets. On the other hand Avasarala want to control the ring so people can colonize the planets without causing the next Black Death event which is usually the biggest issue with colonizing a brand new biome.

I think when the ship went dutchmen the beings (aliens or whatever that is) is studying the ship and the people.

With the Chetzmoka spinning/spiralling, the centrifugal force should have thrown her away from the ship, not ended up in the middle of the spiral. We see the helmet roll towards the airlock, so that direction is outwards. Also, the only way Naomi could have ended up in the middle of the spiral would have been for her to jump towards the center, counteracting the centrifugal G force. That would not have been enough to cause a "high G burn" for the Screaming Firehawk to dock.

@neildoerdan2298 3 года назад

The way I imagined it was that when she jumped out of the ship it was only her inertial force moving her though space (so in theory she would continue in that direction for ever - or until she hit something or gravitational force). But when she jumped out of the ship due to the spin the ship was in, rather than the ship rotating, it was spinning along a line like a spin ball with the rod being down the middle of the coarse the ship was heading and the ship flying around that rod with the door always facing towards the rod (middle). Similar to how the moon orbits the earth, with one side always facing the earth. Naomi would have eventually continued past the other orbit side of the ship (at risk of being hit by the ship again) and then would have been outside the orbit of the ship. But at this stage she would have been dead. (due to running out of O)

@artboymoy 3 года назад

I have some questionable physics problems with this as well, like Bobbie said it was a short burst, and that meant to me that it stopped, but for the ship to continue in a spiral, you'd still need that thruster to be firing, right? I mean, after the inital burst once it's gone the drive would just push the ship in the forward direction.

@ZakaqerE 3 года назад

@@artboymoy The main drive never stopped firing.

@zariumsheridan3488 3 года назад

Yeah, good catch. Also the maneuvering thruster is nothing compared to the main drive, so the curve would be very shallow even if the thruster was firing continuously until it runs out of propellant. Furthermore, its trajectory would not be a spring-like cylindrical spiral, it would be an expanding one, since the ship is being accelerated by the main drive.

@@dlschgo yeah no, that's not how that works. First off, you don't get MULTIPLE allegations like that set against you "just because you flirted a bit". It's pretty clear there was more than that involved; after all we're talking about women here, and it's not like this whole "famous actor takes advantage of fan base" skit before. Second of all, Amazon is a private company. They can do what they want. When one of your employees becomes more trouble than he's worth (mainly in terms of bad PR), you're justified in letting them go, especially when we're talking about a job that involves being in the spotlight.

Loved the final season until Alex was killed, that left me feeling like a real salty Samual. As far as I know Alex wasn't killed that way or at all in the book and the only reason they did it was because of certain sexual assault 'allegations' which had no evidence or grounds against Alex's actor. One of the writers say it was done to level the playing field and create more tension but I think that is bs. Hated that but overall it was great.

Interesting stuff. I never read the books. Just came in to The Expanse a year or so back. Now is time to go back and read the whole thing before Season 6 drops, I reckon.

I didn't think any show could bypass the peak moments of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica, but sure enough this series has done so consistently. It helps when you have a stellar series of books to base it on plus the original writers running the writers' room.

Seems like the Roci needs a Martian now. Maybe Bobbie joins the Roci? We don't know any other Martians enough to trust them. But Bobbie probably has a role in book 6 with Avasarala. Bull could fill in the Alex/pilot role, but that makes the Roci crew 3 Earthers and 1 Belter. Not sure if Peaches also joins the Roci crew, but she's another Earther. I've only read through book 5. Starting book 6 now that season 5 is over.

I would like to see vids of you reading the internal monologues of character in different scenes. I know this is more going on in the books that the series can't or didn't include.

@uros.u.novakovic 3 года назад

As a person who has not read the books, everything in the show was perfectly clear except the Barkeith ending. I did not understand that it got "destroyed" or it disappeared. My understanding was that the entities we saw are just there passing through everything as ghosts but the people on board do not see them. Holden once said that he could "feel" them when he passes through the ring so I assumed this is what happens all the time when you pass through, those entities pass through everyone and Holden felt that while others do not.
