The Biggest Unanswered Questions From The Expanse Season 6

It seems like "The Expanse" has faced oblivion almost as often as the crew of the Rocinante. The series almost ended back in Season 3 when Syfy canceled the show, but fortunately for fans it was picked up by Amazon for another three seasons. This time, though, it appears the end is finally at hand. After an action-packed sixth season, "The Expanse" is leaving our world. But did the show wrap everything up for its fans? Hardly. Although the six-episode final season did manage to tie up a few plot threads, there was no way to give closure on every aspect of a universe that's so…expansive. Here are the biggest unanswered questions from "The Expanse" season 6.

What questions did you have from "The Expanse" Season 6?

hands down the best SciFi series ever made IMO

_"Iraros wasn't all wrong. He was evil and he was cruel but tapped into something real. He was able to do what he did because so many people were angry and frightened. They saw the future and they weren't in it. That's what this has to fix"._

For what it's worth, the series did the books justice... I love it. As for Alex Kamal, given the sh!tstorm, the series handled Alex's absence the best it could.

When Duarte tells Marko:
“You’ve been a useful distraction, but I’ve got gods to kill.”

What it meant was actually straight forward.

It was a slap in the face. Marko believed himself to be a demigod., because “I did this!” Marco only succeeded because he had help from Duarte and his Marian faction’s logistical and with Martian military hardware and support, because they needed the distraction to setup shop on Laconia and get things running and weaken the old dynamic in the process. And besides for setting up the dream of Mars on Laconia, Duarte had a plan to rule over humanity and “save” them from the Dark Gods, the Ring entities that live in the space between spaces that wiped out the Builders before they wipe out humanity.

And Holden understood at the end of season 5 that Duarte had taken the proto-molecule sample through the Laconian Ring. But, he didn’t know the reasons why.

It was a satisfying finale that wrapped up the major storyline while planting seeds to cover the final three novels in the future with a follow-up series, miniseries, or movies.

I can't believe that Bezos doesn't want to see the rest of the books filmed as much as we do. As for the final season and finale, I was more than happy: they did what they could with a limited budget and a natural break in the story. I've not enjoyed a series so much since DS9.

It wasn't an alien ship that Duarte was looking at. It was an alien shipyard for building ships with alien tech. That is why The Martian Navy splinter group took Laconia and shut down the gate. They needed time to build a new civilization and a new navy.

#1 SciFi series IMO. I mean come on even the physics they use for space is actually legitimately how things could/would work in real space. It's awesome!

[tonycave]

One of the best shows in SO LONG. Everyone should watch it.

[Michael-ezzg]

When the Laconia's Admiral Winston Duarte said to Marco Inaros..., "You were a useful distraction but I have gods to kill". In other words, you are merely an ant that I played with but did not step on.

Duarte was actually referenced earlier in season 5 when Bobbie was going over a list of suspects. The Expanse made use of high definition. If you anything on the screen that can be made out in the later seasons, it is highly worth the effort to hit pause and check it out.

Best show ever, not just sci-fi. If they don't make another series I'll do it myself

[WizardofTruth]

Season 7 would be such a cool thing. What a fantastic show so far doe.

when she brought her brother back all i could think of was Pet Semetery scene where the Mom sees her undead daughter and is terrified, I was like Hug your son lol

[StephenJohnson-jbxe]

I really hope we get to see where these stories go. Personally I think Fillip realized his father was doing stupid things because of stupid motivation and left to be a more badass person than him, but the fact that he took his mothers surname means he will be conflicted while doing so. I haven't read the books so I could be way off.

[scottlescard]

I point of correction. Marco didn't technically defeat the inner's. Earth and Mars had destroyed the Free Navy's two other fleets, so Marco only had the ships that he had left after the fight with Drummer's fleet. And Marco's fleet had been the weaker of the three of the Free Navy and had won the fight with Drummer only because of the presence of the Pella, and Drummer's fleet did manage to destroy some of Marc's ships before they had to withdraw. Marc's only chance was to get into the ring space and try to get the railgun's back up and working before the fleets of Earth and Mars arrived. Even then he was in a weaken position.

They will be picking the series up again in another 5 to 7 years, depending on everyone’s schedules. The showrunners decided to pause the series for now because in the books, there’s nearly a 30 year gap between where the tv series ended with season 6 and the last storyline of the book series. Things need time to develop and the actors need to age up some, because completely recasting them will fill more like a spin-off series.

When Xan is talking to Cara there is one line that I can't shake: "What does 'in substrate' mean?"
I'm pretty sure Xan is communication through the protomolecule here, but can't help wonder if that was a throw-away line or something more.

[Michael-ezzg]

When Naomi saw Filip as a baby just before she pushed the button and when Amos laid and covered Bobbie and said "I got you, Bobbie", I wasn't the one crying, you were crying.
