I love the end - but it is not like it would be an accomplishment to the TV Show, they took it from the book and removed so much that it barely makes any sense.
All the political tension is basically removed and replaced with "why are we even discussing this". Not to mention the fact that they completly left out how Inaros fleet got destroyed.
That was really important, because the way they did it, the physics they used in the books (The rings make matter disappear when there is more than a certain amount in transit at the same time) was the reason Earth and Mars actually agreed that a trade union controlling passage through the rings was necessary.
It would have been hard enough to do this properly in 10 Episodes, doing it in 6 was impossible. Too much of the source material has been left out without patching the holes.Its heartbreaking and not in a good way...

@player8472 I don't know if you just fell asleep, but how Inaros' fleet got destroyed and the fact they specifically chose to trigger it, was very much in the show. It's also entirely spelt out that E&M only came to the negotiating table because the ring entity problem meant transit overwatch was required.
I'm not sure what episode you watched(?)

@player8472 Ah okay, I see. At the same, does it really matter? The trigger is the same and the outcome is the same. If anything, it just being a law of physics would have been harder to put across in the show because then viewers would be asking "well if it's an established law, why is Marco dumb enough to risk triggering it himself?" This way it's something that only the Roci were aware of and could use as a trap.
