I wonder if they are going to start the events of Caliban's War in the next season? If they do, we are in for a huge ramp-up in the story.
With 13 episodes they almost have to start Caliban's War, as when you think about it we don't have THAT much left from the first book to cover:
- Assault Thoth Station, Commandeer Nauloo, Try various ways to deal with Eros, Eros heads for Earth, Julie Mao persuaded to crash Eros on Venus
Unless they change the story or stretch it, they are going to have to start Caliban's war. Agreed on the short time from the last season to the end of the first book. 13 episodes without starting the War would really be a stretch.

They will need a bigger budget to even approach being able to accurately portray Caliban's War which will likely be the majority of any hopeful Season 3. But if they get a Season 3 that one will be awesome!
I can't wait till this next season begins! I am tempted to do a rewatch of all of the series this weekend. To me, the underpinnings of the universe they have created in Expanse is the most believable ever presented in a scifi series.

I just did a bing watch on Monday ...Worth it completely . There were things I had forgotten or missed the dialogue . OMG the CGI is fantastically amazing eye candy indeed !!! Story is fantastic !!!
VERY strong season premiere tonight.
They advanced the story big time, both by bringing in new characters from the books (like Bobby Draper) and also they had the big event on which the plot of the first book turns occur:
With 13 episodes I have to think we're getting at bare minimum to the end of Leviathan Wakes this season.
The SFX is still movie grade, and the acting was also strong. We got the lightest bit of suds but it lasted about 45 seconds. Overall tight episode.

It's already on Kodi.
I'm watching it now.
EXCELLENT episode. They picked up the story and the tempo without skipping a beat, and it was a very strong showing for this season! This is real science fiction, and it is also gritty and modern yet not drifting into soapy stuff. The show is this good now, and I can't wait until they tackle Caliban's War. Like you said, the effects (and sound) in this is movie grade. The writing is awesome too.
