The expanse season 3 episode 9 license#

You've got radiation, you've got no atmosphere, you've got no gravity. Space is trying to kill you 24 hours a day, and it's hugely dangerous, it's hugely problematic to travel, it's incredibly volatile and unpredictable. In 'The Expanse,' space is a character in the show. All of that stuff is kind of what science fiction has had to do because they've taken away the real, authentic danger of space. They love that we don't have artificial gravity, force fields, laser blasters, disruptors and photon torpedoes and all that stuff. And to our great delight, the fans love the science.

And the juice that we inject ourselves with so that we don't get killed when we go at high-G speeds, that keeps us from having heart attacks.Įverything else is represented accurately. It's just we don't have the technology up for it. That allows us to travel at one-tenth the speed of light and provide perpetual acceleration. Like the Epstein drive is a drive that theoretically is possible but has not been invented yet.

There are a couple of little items that we have taken creative license for, but even those are based in science. And we go to great pains to make sure every single thing we show on the show is scientifically accurate. : And you've mentioned fans really love the way the show does science.Īnvar: We are probably the most accurate show, scientifically, on television. So, you have an incredible body and pool of talent that we're putting to work on an amazingly integrated, intelligent and well-thought-out script. These are all people who carry shows themselves, and they're our supporting cast. This year, we've got David Strathairn, Elizabeth Mitchell, Jared Harris. We've got Thomas Jane, who's done all these different things and comes to the table with a huge body of work, and myself, Steven Strait, Wes Chatham, Dominique Tipper, and then all of our guest stars, in and of themselves, are leads. We've got an Oscar-nominated, Emmy-Award-winning actress playing Avasarala, Shohreh Aghdashloo. That creative team is a huge part of why it's such a success.Īnd we have an amazing cast that's delivering this. They're getting more textured, more involved. So, in some ways, the television show exceeds the novels, which are huge hits themselves … the adaptation, in many ways, allows the novels to go to a new level, because they're getting to deepen them, enrich them. All the things we wanted to do, now we can do. In some ways, they're actually really excited to do the transfer, because they're feeling like, after they've written them, they're 5- or 6-year-old books, and they have this - there are certain things we wish we had done which we didn't get done in the book, and now we're getting a second kick at the can by putting them on screen. Corey, they are in the writing rooms making sure that the books get transferred authentically and honoring the books as they get transferred to the TV. Our showrunner is from 'CSI,' 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' 'Farscape.' Our writers who wrote the pilot episode and are still in the writing room with us writing episodes every year are the guys who wrote 'Children of Men' and 'Iron Man.' Our other writers, who are the creators of the series, Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham, who are collectively James S.A.

We've got some of the top writers, producers, creative people in the industry. First and foremost, we're blessed with an incredible creative team. I personally feel that it's one of the best sci-fi shows ever to hit the television. : What is it about 'The Expanse' that makes it so special?Īnvar: It is a very unique show. So, if we got 100 percent on the first episode, what the hell's going to happen when we get to the finale?

It just keeps building and building and building like an escalating ski slope. The good news is Season 3 is like a runaway locomotive. Our premier episode, after making fans wait close to nine months or a year, they still came in like gangbusters, and we delivered and people were happy.
