I’ve maintaining this playlist for over five years. It’s great to read The Expanse (actually inspired by the books) and scifi literature in general.

The Warp, The Emperor, The Dark Gods and The Expanse: Parallels to Warhammer 40k (to be read in Sir David Attenborough's voice)

In the Warhammer 40k universe, the Emperor sits upon his golden throne on Terra (Earth), plugged into a device of great power. Through sheer force of will, and by consuming up to a thousand minds a day, he holds open pathways through The Warp, a space between spaces that allows humanity to colonize vast world far beyond Sol. Warp drive equipped ships can enter this space at any point, but without the will of the Emperor holding open channels of safety, the ships will be lost forever and consumed by the Dark Gods, beings that dwell within this space between spaces and are manifestations of negative human emotions. When sentient beings travel through the Warp, it angers these Dark Gods, who then manifest in a physical form, spawning monstrosities upon the ships traveling through or sometimes even tearing open a breach into normal space and consuming whole planets. Sound familiar? Let us presume, some time in the distant past, long before the 40,000th millennium, other beings learned the secret of Warp travel, but their solution was much more elegant. Using some unknown technology they were able to create a vacuum in the Warp, roughly the size of the sun. The rage of the Dark Gods pushed relentlessly down upon this affront, generating vast energies that defied the laws of physics, at least physics as understood by a species of violent, ape descended sentient beings in a backwater solar system. Through the power of the Dark Gods the creators of the wound in the Warp were destroyed, leaving the space inactive and eventually forgotten. Then the apes from Sol happened upon an entrance to this wound in the Warp. They entered to wound and the Dark Gods remembered and became furious. The humans, after a series of complicated events, grew in arrogance until they foolishly struck out against the Dark Gods themselves! They installed their own Emperor on a different type of throne, a nexus of power at the center of the Warp vacuum. The Emperor learned a great secret, the power to hold back the Dark Gods with impunity! The Emperor grew in power until humanity was on the verge of a golden age, where peace and prosperity would reign and human suffering would cease! Unfortunately, due to their ignorance and violent nature, this Emperor was struck down and replaced with a Cosmic Fool. This Fool was terrified of the power of the Warp vacuum and destroyed it, plunging humanity into darkness once again. Let us praise the Omnissiah, and The Emperor for returning humanity to its former glory!!

Trailer Park Boys x The Expanse meme!

“Breaker Breaker, come in Earth. This is rocket ship 27. Aliens fucked over the carbonater in engine #4. I'm gonna try to refuckulate it and land on Juniper. Hopefully they got some space weed. Over."

Expanse action figure Kickstarter - Hope you don't mind the slightly off topic post.

I wanted to post this everywhere I could, as the momentum is not exactly fast on this one. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thenacellecompany/the-expanse-collectable-action-figures

Another English interpretation of the intro lyrics.

Even shock I cannot feel.
Duty belongs to who dares.
And with any ring, be careful.
Cruel be the Goth beings.

My biggest problem with The Expanse (books particularly)

... is that Fayaz only shows up in book 4 and does not get nearly enough scene time.

Because of this I think Alcon entertainment ty&dan should flush out a rom com series of Elv and Fay's relationship after Ilus:

I would take either a university life shenanigans sitcom in the inbetween years or a tongue-in-cheek satire about science officers for the galactic uber fash lookin for cool alien artifacts.

Obvs lean towards the latter but I will be understanding of budget constraints.

I will trust you coyos to pick this up and float with it. I look forward to your results.

I just noticed that the Epstein drive is a primitive impulse engine.

They are both fusion drives that greatly increase the efficiency of the engine.

In Star Trek a impulse engine uses a low level subspace field to reduce the mass of the spaceship.

Have they explained how the Epstein drive works?
