Well there better be some way. Amazon better announce when Season 4 of The Expanse will be out on DVD. No way will I accept being able to only get 3 season of the show on DVD and not the rest. I prefer having shows, films and documentaries I like on DVD, something I can have in my hands within reach if I want to watch them on my DVD player and not have to watch only on the likes Amazon Prime or Netflix for example, as I don't have the means to buy that, as I don't own a credit card.

Well then I guess you're out of luck, because they're not going to, and you are not, in fact, entitled to a DVD release.
 
I swear, watching Spacebattles try to justify murdering all Belters because of the actions of Inaros is a blast from the past. You could scratch out Inaros and replace it with Minbari, Turians, Cardassians, or those blue dudes from Avatar and find entire threads of the exact same desire. It's like the entire themes of colonial backlash just fly over peoples' heads.

Don't group us all together cuz of some edgelords
 
One interesting thing I notice is that it is always Belters who get targetted for collective punishment. You saw it on Ilus, were people agree with Murtry, you see it here now.

There is no call for all megacorps to be dismanteled, even after repeated incidents were entire stations are ruined at their behest (Anderson, Eros, Ganymede ) and not even after they start a war twice with the intent of selling a civilization destroying weapon.

There is no call for retaliation against Mars, even though they tried to buy that civilization destroying weapon, and even though they deliberatly facilitated the attack on Earth by giving Inaros supplies and ships..

There is no call for retaliation against Earth, even though they actually bought and used that weapon.

But no, 1 belter terrorist with no democratic or institutional legitimacy does something, and suddenly all the belters are responsible.
 
I know it's a bit late, but one of my favorite twitch streamers, twitch.tv/Wintergaming did a few interviews of Ty Franck (half of James S.A. Corey) on his channel over the past few months while doing twitch watchparties of season 4. I do not know if they'll do them for season 5 now that it's out (likely will be a while if they do) but I think that the vods are currently not sub only if you want to go back and watch them. A lot of interesting factoids and minor worldbuilding available in there.

The main argument it seems to me is that when you are attacked by the equivalent to nuclear weapons that has killed half your population then there isn't anything you can do but anialate the enemys who did it, MAD excepts nothing else. This is more like if russia nuked half the USA then a terest bombing a building, how can a nation not responde collectively? Especially sence most earth servivers aren't going to understand that the OPA or the Belters have lots of different factions and the mico dosnt have the support of the largest ones (to bigen with anyway).
 
I mean, this is the argument being had in the show now. Should the UN start massacring belters in response to Inaros' terrorist attack.

And, let's be clear, the show's answer is of course not. But it's a very human response to just indiscriminately murder people vaguely similar to those that hurt you.

Belters are the punching bags of human society. Marco Inaros might be a narcissistic psycho and gaslighter but he's not entirely wrong about how much they've been spit on. It's what makes him dangerous; he's exploiting a real problem to increase his power.

And In the books it's not all martians. It's a few martians, which ties in with Marco just being a pawn in another man's ambition.

And a agree whith that, I gust wanted to show that they aren't gust arguing that in bad fath. They simply don't believe any government can be anything but vengeful to the inter belt consdering the shere destruction that has just be unleashed on earth. I think that a government, especially one that has been severd from anyone who has actually been elected can infact think rationaly and target the ones actually responsible, but history has shown in crisis a lot less bad then what happens on the show that sometimes that gust isn't the case.
 
What just happened in that last episode with that ship going through the gate. It seemed highly odd....
