Warning: spoilers ahead for episode six of season five of “The Expanse.”
Given the appropriate title “Tribes,” the sixth installment for this season of “The Expanse” delivers a little bit of everything. While the previous episode had its own share of memorable moments, it felt like mostly set-up. Not so with “Tribes,” which pays off the escape of Alex and Bobbie, lets us check back in with Avasarala, accelerates the confrontation between Drummer and Marco, and gives us even more fantastic character development with Amos.
The episode also harmonizes its pacing between methodical, rich, quiet moments, and frenetic action sequences. This is no easy task, but “The Expanse” balances it with near-perfect execution.

Usually I love nothing more than peeling apart the layers of
Expanse episodes, separating the storylines and what they have to say, thinking about what the action means for the characters, how they’re shaped by their choices, and how neatly all these things fit together. “Tribes” is beautifully structured, from a shaking Avasarala at the outset (still in that blue jacket!) to a rattled Amos realizing how much he needs his crew.
But this week, I just keep wanting to see it as a single piece: a long, affecting moment of survival, grief, and arrogance. In that sense, it feels so close that it’s hard to look at straight-on.

After a bleak year in entertainment, science fiction fans finally have some good news with “The Expanse” starting its fifth season on Amazon. Those unfamiliar with the show may consider watching the previous seasons, and those who have seen those may want to review what happened.
After four seasons, “The Expanse” is poised to take its place among the best sci-fi on television, combining the political intrigue and complexity of “Babylon 5” with the gritty realism of “Battlestar Galactica.” While it delves into deeper themes of class, community, the limits and potential of technology, and man’s place in the universe, it has resisted the pitfalls of leftist moralizing or progressive utopianism one usually finds in popular science fiction (like most of the “Star Trek” series).

The Expanse has returned with its fifth season and wastes no time setting the stakes. ‘Exodus’ is an apt title for the fifth season premiere as it breaks up the core cast, following them on their own stories as a slow feeling of doom unknowingly creeps over them. In what we now know is the second-to-last season, it feels like the show is setting up its endgame with its characters and stories and does so very well.
It has only been a few months since the end of the fourth season as James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are taking a much needed break by following up on a lot of personal errands. Amos and Alex head back to their respective homes for the first time in years while Naomi gets information about somebody from her past that she is desperate to connect with. There isn’t much of the galactic politics, intrigue and danger seen or discussed in the episode as ‘Exodus’ focuses more on the ways the main characters react to their individual journeys. This is pretty much the first time in the series’ history the core four have been broken up to this extent and with them being literal worlds apart from each other, it may be some time before the crew is back together.

The Expanse, I often highlight its rare ability to improve with every season. The show is now five for five, with the new season delivering more nail-biting action and a shift in the balance between Earth (the old political superpower), Mars (the upstart military colony), and the asteroid belt, which is home to a hardscrabble diaspora of miners, criminals, and spacefaring separatists. While the stakes were always high, they were high in the way of a blockbuster apocalypse: we don’t necessarily care about the body count or the size of the explosion. In season 5, those stakes finally feel earned. Without going into spoilers, the introductory episodes pack a serious punch, tying a massive interplanetary event into some deeply personal storylines.

The crew of the
Rocinante have been through a lot, from the moderately mundane (exploding ships, interplanetary secrets, attempted murder) to the previously unimagined (a deadly hybrid, an alien intelligence, the opening of hundreds of ring gates, a hostile alien planet). But this season, the threats are of a more human nature.
Expanse showrunner Naren Shankar has described the season five theme as “you reap what you sow,” but there’s another old saw we can use here: a lot of space chickens are about to come home to roost.
Though
The Expanse will mostly release weekly this season, Amazon let loose the first three episodes at once. It’s a lot to talk about at once, so let’s get to it! And yes:
