I still say that Season 5 will be the Earth/Mars conflict and them pushing out to Titan with it ending in 2023 or 2024, Season 6 will be out to the edge of the Solar System and end in 2034 or 2035, and the final season (7) will be either pushing out of the Solar System or an extrasolar signal will be discovered in 2050.

kinoman will do some self sacrificial act to stop the war

>>218595890
No, once you get to the edge, there will just be a consolidation period of centuries as humans fill up the asteroid belt and outer planet moons with people. There is no FTL travel. And it's not some video game where "do A, then do B, then C follows" thing. It's 10,000x harder to get to the next solar system since you have to fly only a fraction of the speed of light for over a century. Most of the crew will never live to the end, only their children will, and the current population of Earth will never know how it turned out. And you're just trusting that whatever you find will be worthwhile.

>>218597350
they have nuclear propulsion already so yes they could get to alpha centauri in 50 years or sth

>>218597350
but yeh i doubt that'll ever be the focus. just maybe mentioned when the series ends

>>218595179
I was kind of hoping they'd come up with some way to supercharge space travel so the season could take place much further away from earth but alas it's the Expanse 2.0 which is lame. Also obviously the last season Kinoman will be in which sucks but they can't make him any older.

>>218595179
prediction: about ten minutes of interesting alternative history space shenanigans and the rest is bipoc/woman drama

>>218595179
dunno
but show is very gay
feminist soap opera in space

>>218597769
>>218597871
They've kinda limited that in the past few seasons tbqh

How are the newer seasons? Last I saw was the kinda silly one that ended with NASA getting blown up by terrorists.

>>218598193
Last 2 seasons have been great imo

>>218597956
suuuuuure

>Gordo
*cheats on this*

>>218597742
Love how he clearly didn't want to become the Thinnaman from The Killing again so they just wrote in that he's shooting a ton of gear.

never watched this was waiting for the seasons to stack up, how is it? I love alt history stuff 2bh

>>218595179
Ed finally becomes a cyborg

>>218599032
It's one of the very few shows where the kino aspects of the show are kino enough to make you swallow the not insignificant amount of pozzing they also shove down your throat.

>>218597653
50 years? no.

>>218597742
>but they can't make him any older
Solution: they discover alien life on Mars, and it's microbes with properties that can stop or reverse aging.
This also ultimately stops the war with Earth, because Earth has a new incentive to invest in Mars and have good relations with it. Like the Amrita (whale brain juice) in Avatar

>>218597742
It's not lame. The entire reason I like Expanse and For All Mankind is because it's plausibly realistic. Warp Travel is lame. Space tracel is hard and tedious. Pretending humans will visit a new star every week and meet thousands of weird aliens is childish and silly

>>218599573
It's not lame in and of itself, it's lame cause the expanse already did the exact same story line

>>218599573
>>218599612
It doesn't have to become Star Trek.
I feel Expanse fumbled with the whole weird wormhole thing.

You can still write grounded Sci-Fi with a little bit of FTL that enables exploring nearby star systems,
there is a lot of story potential.
Besides Avatar, as far as I can remember most """hard""" Sci-Fi space stuff is either
>exploring solar system
>some bullshit happening on the colony ship in transit
Not a lot of stories about the initial stage of exploring other systems and settling them, I know there are some books on this topic.
Religiously sticking to
>"erm akshually space is lame and you will die on this rock in a suicide pod after choking on sõylent so fantasy should be illegal"
is a disease suffocating fiction discussion right now.

That said, I don't think For All Mankind needs to go there, this is a show firmly about Men and the Solar System.
It has a solid premise and there is no reason to deviate from it for cheap trills, but a show that does explore the next stage, as unlikely as that stage might be, would be a welcome addition.

>>218597653
It would actually be quivker than that at constant g acceleration, but they’d still need to figure out how to shield the ship.

>>218600156
You know, relativistic time travel would also allow for more developments “back home.”

>>218600156
The wormhole isn't weird. It's the answer to FTL, what technology an advanced alien interstellar species would have, and the mystery of why there's no other aliens flying around all in one. It's great. And it's a great catalyst for uprooting all of Humanity's current factions and causing a stampede goldrush to get to the new solar systems first, while others resist change and try to stop it, or feel its their chance to get revenge. Expanse has a great story and it's pretty thoroughly thought out. For All Mankind just seems to be making it up as they go along

I want them to go to Neptune. But Jupiter is probably next.

bump for Kinoman

>>218604120
Didn't he die?

>>218604320
Kinoman lives, but I think Stevens is dead. It's been a while

>>218604406
Yes, Danny Stevens was exiled to the North Korean pod for his drug addled manslaughter, and killed himself there.
Ed Baldwin/Kinoman is still alive and around 81 years old so this is probably the last season where he can have a major role

>>218604806
Thanks anon.
We're also getting that spin-off show Star City, but that one looks heavily outsourced to European film fonds and literal who actors. Kinda sceptical still

>>218604806
Kinda messed up to exile him there. Could have at least shipped him back to Earth. Maybe they'll discover aging medicine to make him live way longer. But seems like Earth will want him dead anyway

This cuckshow is still going on?
