had a fun time thinking about the realism of the Expanse. In other words, doing a movie marathon on the Expanse is a far faster way to complete this storied universe than reading the book series. The Expanse: A Telltale Series There are currently no available deals As a massive lover of all things space, I was thrilled to finally get my hands on the first chapter of The Expanse: A. Hence, the movie story-line rarely detracts from the original, unlike most other screen adaptions of Sci-Fi novels. Understandably, the writers had deep and continuous interactions with the TV series production team throughout the development of Expanse.īasically, Expanse was a unique story-development model – an industry first, whereby the authors had set out right from the outset to write the book(s) almost as if it was meant for a movie script. The Expanse series (now running into Season 4) has done an admirably fantastic job at depicting the intricacies of this story, both the political machinations and the individual character development as well as the technical aspects of this “hard” Sci-Fi genre. IMO, there s no need to read the book(s). So while you’re waiting for new episodes of the show to air, check out his Flickr photostream for more images of the three ships seen here as well as updates on his future creations. Right now Shannon has only revealed these three vessels, but he’s working on more Expanse-themed designs. When it comes to planetary defense, the MCRN (Martial Congressional Republic Navy) doesn’t mess around, and this destroyer-class ship is ready for a fight wherever fighting needs to be done. This design, the sleekest of the three, is a Martian attack craft. MCRN Destroyer “Gazsardt” Image credit: Shannon Sproule via Flickr.

The first ship Shannon designed was this blocky United Nations Navy vessel, what he calls an expeditionary fast transport, employed by the UNN to “bust up some Belter scum.” UNN “Coelacanth” Image credit: Shannon Sproule via Flickr. Here are his first three unique and thoughtful designs. These seem to have satisfied my cravings, if only for a little while. That means I have to endure six days that are woefully devoid of The Expanse content.įortunately, as I was failing to patiently wait for Wednesday night to roll around, I learned about Flickr user Shannon Sproule‘s fantastic LEGO spaceship creations based on The Expanse universe. Right now, I’m really enjoying The Expanse, currently airing its second season on Syfy, but new episodes only show up once a week on Wednesday nights. In this era of binge-watching, waiting to see the next episode of a traditional weekly show can really test a viewer’s patience.
