We know from the trailer that Naomi's son, Filip, will be in the latest episodes, and it's not much of a spoiler to say there are a lot of painful emotions for all involved when it comes to a potential reunion between Naomi and the son she hasn't seen since he was a baby.Īnd then there's Amos. Like the seasons before it, season 5 also delves into the personal, especially for Naomi and Amos. Viewers become oriented to each new place, however, not only through the excellent storytelling, but also because of the time invested in creating each location, from impressive establishing shots to the look of each Martian building and Belter ship.Īnd of course, viewers become invested in what is happening to civilization because of what specifically happens to The Expanse 's characters. There are lot of moving parts, and in less skillful hands, it could be easy to get lost in the back-and-forth between the different locales and plotlines. And so we see what happens on Earth through Amos' eyes (and also through Avasarala's, although she's on Luna) we see what's up with Mars through Alex and Bobbie and we see what's happening with different factions of the Belt through Naomi, Holden, and Drummer. Their separation, however, gives us an on-the-ground look at what happens across the worlds that humanity has carved out for itself. Like many families these days, the crew finds themselves in different parts of the solar system, unable to reconnect for various reasons. We, as usual, get to see how bad things get on the inter-planetary level through the experiences of the Rocinante family. It's not until this season, however, that ramifications from the protomolecule, specifically the creation of the ring gate, become painfully clear. Since season 1, the geopolitical balance in the solar system - the dynamic between Earth, Mars, and the Belt - has been upended by the protomolecule.
But even though the protomolecule doesn't directly interact with humans this season, it still remains the impetus of everything that comes to pass in the series' latest 10 episodes (or the latest nine episodes, at least the number that was made available for this non-spoiler review).
