The Expanse: The Animated Series (1973)

Some unnecessarily niche content from ABK. It probably helps if you've seen: 1) The Expanse, 2) the infamously crummy Star Trek: The Animated Series, and 3) The Simpsons S08E14.

I guess you could call it ... "The Animated Ceres"

I'll see myself out

That is an incredibly accurate David Strathairn impression. I could swear it was him. Pity about Alex dying on his way to his home planet.

Can't wait to see how Avasarala's colourful language is dialed back to be more G-rated. "Those guff-heads can go fiddle-dee-dee themselves!"

This is reaching Gunnar Gunnarson levels of epic, as an expanse fan I tip my Earther hat to you, bossmang.

Thank you for the reference library in the description. I may in time do my research, and then laugh.

[cmdrvaneia]

That was an almost unreasonably good Ashford and Alex impression haha

Just when you think few people inhabit your niche overlapping Venn diagrams, ABK uses them to make a #MarsToo joke 🤯

Always nice to see The Expanse getting the love it deserves

[cScottD]

Just when you're thinking "Why hasn't someone done an animated version of The Expanse in the style of Star Trek: The Animated Series?", all of a sudden there's this!

I am the audience at the center of the Venn diagram of necessary references and I love it

Was not expecting this to be as funny as it was, which is why I choked on my breakfast at "p-p-p-protomolecule??"

[KCGRN]

I laughed my head off. This might just be the expanse fan in me going through lack of new content withdrawals, but I'd pay good money to watch this if it were ever a thing.

"The one with nice eyes."
*shows the semi-amoral sociopath who can tell someone he can't think of a reason to not kill them*
(I love Amos, I just think that's funny.)

That slick simpsons reference, well done.

[Jojoblurp]

There needs to be specifically one episode where the characters have to mediate a dispute between the Outsiders and the Piersen's Puppeteers, who everyone is inexplicably familiar with and are never mentioned again for the rest of the series.

[keepperspective]

Oh. My.
When your serious humor and your serious sci-fi overlap to perfection—I didn’t think I could be a bigger fan of either the Interdemensional ABK or “the one with nice eyes.” But here we are…

Note: Kamal died on the way back to his home planet.

If it's 1973, shouldn't they also be members of a wildly popular pop band with a nonhuman drummer?

"Some unnecessarily niche content from ABK."

YES... give me MOAR!

[illustriouschin]

This is so brutal and true. I also immediately shouted "You Poochied Alex!?" when it happened.
