Pretty good for SyFy. Some good episodes, some filler episodes -- reminiscent of Galactica. Makes me appreciate the 10-second skip ahead function of my 4th-gen AppleTV remote... there's some entertaining stuff, separated by a lot of filler -- 10 second skip-clicks are a perfect companion for "The Expanse", unless you're arthritic -- then you'll wish there was an option to increase incremental skipping. The only parts I'd never fast forward through are any with Shohreh Aghdashloo... she hypnotized me as Dina Araz, the unsuspecting Iranian mother-of-a-terrorist in season 4 of "24" -- seeing her in a scifi role borders on orgasmic. She's a drag queen icon waiting to happen, something immediately apparent with the line, "get him a proper scotch please, Lagavulin"... ;-)

@chaztv filler episodes!!? you clearly didn't understand all story parts then, if you believe that!
I felt like this season was all over the place, Niska wanting to be treated like a human, Leo looking for the few awaken synths, Mattie fixing the blond cute just for him to be insignificant to the long story, Tobis girlfriend and lets not even start and the little girls synth behaviour supposed "problem" that came and went just like that. They were trying to do a lot of things in just 8 episodes i couldnt feel a connection between each storyline. And the fact that they went global just at the snap of a finger didn't help and that what happens to a lot of shows, you can't go global just like that, it's a process...
In the end they made it come to an end, yes it all came together but I don't think this ending can justify the fail that was this season.
I loved the first season, i watched it twice, and was really excited for this second season, but it ended up being a sad and bland disappointment :(loading replies
@goncaalo And lets not forget the complete waste of time that was Mia's relationship with the guy from Nashville.
Just to remind myself, if I ever rewatch this, to skip episodes 3 and 7.

@baroines I hope they didn't damage you too severely.
New season, Same shit.
Time to end it, maybe?loading replies
@redouaaane Second that.
"Hey some funding", "damn we fucked up", "oh some new funding", "we got screwed", "saved b4 season finale, woho"
Only thing new in the seasons are some good "programmer dad jokes". The rest is just a story on repeat. boring.
