    I love how Wes plays the role of Amos perfectly, in the beginning I was a bit skeptical but now I am happy they chose Wes for the role. He is killing it on the show (also literally).

      I thought he would be perfect when I heard he was cast, and remembered his role in the Unit. He has those eyes which are at the same time innocent and lazy-psycho killer

    • @mardus_ee
      @mardus_ee 7 лет назад

      I kinda think they add some eyeliner and stuff to Wes's his eyes to make them stand out more. Can someone confirm?

      @SsoulBlade 7 лет назад +3

      I did not know there were books. Amos is also started to become my favourite character. You just don't know where you or the other are with him. He is innocent and also a killer at same time.
      The other one I liked (Muller) they killed off.
      :-(
      Cara Gee as Drummer is cool but I don't think she'll be given a backstory unless the Dawes act's up big time.
      'Bobbie' W. Draper just irritates me. She's supposed to be a hardass (I was initially comparing her with Ripley -Sorry Ripley) but comes off as a baby. She also seems to have baby fat, that does not seem good for a marine then again, small niggles.

    So... He was reading the book, Amos was his favorite character, and then he got to play him on the show? That's incredible. I've never heard of anything like that happening before.

  • @offrostandflames589
    @offrostandflames589 6 лет назад +3

    I read Leviathan Wakes and Caliban's War before watching the Expanse, and I was never really sold on Amos as a character, I was always more focused on Miller and Holden and Julie than anyone else. Watching the show, I've really warmed to Wes's portrayal of the character, and I actually really enjoy reading about him in the books!

  • @limabravo6065
    @limabravo6065 Год назад +1

    Amos is probably the most dynamic and intriguing character in the series. We get but the briefest of descriptions regarding his childhood, but it's way more than enough to make Amos what he is. But unlike most severely damaged people he realizes what he's missing and finds people who.might fit the bill of a good person. His allowing the redemption of peaches is a great story and it's ending shows that Amos didn't quite snuff out all those pesky human emotions, and he processes the shit out of his grief in the best way Amos could. Fucking love this series

    There are a few TV-shows I really would see continue. And "The Expanse" definitely is one of them.
    I was sad when Babylon 5 finished, and they tried to make some sort of ending of it. But it didn't work out so well.
    I wish it would have continued, but that didn't happen.
    Now I wish "The Expanse" don't experience the same fate.

    I don't know how many Expanse books there are, if it's done, if they'll be done after those are done, or if they'll keep doing their own thing, but after Game of Thrones, this is the shit.
    I want them to keep going for quite some time.
    This is very much THE Sci-Fi show to beat right now. And i don't think the new Star Trek will do it, i hope it will, because ST is cool as well and that will mean it would even better, but probably not.

    • @ThatFontGuy
      @ThatFontGuy 7 лет назад +2

      There are currently 6 books published and there will be 9 total. At this point I don't think the authors expect to go beyond 9. There are also a set of novellas available as e-books that fill in the background of the characters.

    • @gabiballetje
      @gabiballetje 7 лет назад +2

      That'll probably do them a while, and it wouldn't be the first time the series writers will make up new stuff to keep going, just depends on who's at the helm. Seen how the writers of the books are also working on the show, that is probably unlikely. I think they can keep going long enough and do a good job and then leave it be.
      Some series keep going too long with crap just to try and keep the cashcow going. Going out on a high seems better.
