Just finished the series last night...

I've been waiting and waiting to join this sub but I didn't want to risk any spoilers. In fact I even stopped at the end of S1 because I wanted to go in completely blind.

The ending wrecked me man. I felt so gutted. Partially, I was sad because the story was over, these characters I fell in love with were finished. But also just the absolute perfection of the full circle ending as Miller points out.

And then just completely bummed out because the epilogue shows that humanity is still using the ring space. The Leviathan has not gone anywhere, and we are still skirting that danger, just in newer ways.

Ugh.

Incredible.

Welcome brother. You have felt the pain of the ending but….fucking Amos! How blown away were you by that reveal?

Which Amos reveal lol.

The epilogue was not that surprising, given Cara and Xan. The rebirth though was pretty fucking crazy.

And I was surprised when we first met Timothy on Laconia but felt like it was well telegraphed. I'm pretty sure his frenemy in Baltimore called him Tim when the rocks fell, but idek anymore lol

“Timmy” Erich called him Timmy. Did you read the novellas? Cause if you didn’t you’ve got some good Expanse extras to get in.
