The Expanse may be coming to an end after its upcoming season 6, but fortunately, we still have the ongoing season 5 to contemplate upon before worrying about that. The plot of
The Expanse has been, well,
expansive from the very beginning, but the fifth season pulls out all the stops by separating the core characters to lead their own stories. As is the show s custom, the season also introduces the fans to a number of cool, new characters.

“Gaugamela” picks up immediately after the doom-laden events of “Mother,” and it advances several key plot threads that are all interconnected, despite taking place on different planets and other points across the solar system.
