I suspect they're just leaving breadcrumbs for the future though I don't know if there are any concrete plans. Nothing that I've heard of through the fandom rumor mill at least.

So I’m betting Inaros yet dies from that missile Holden deactivated. They make a point of telling us that they’re keeping that warhead and sticking it with the rest of theirs. I wonder what process is involved in removing Holden’s remote access to its detonator and if they disconnected that.

Or Inaros kills someone else with it - more guilt

If he fired it at someone else I don’t know that Holden would get to know where it came from. Like I’m imagining a scene where they’re cornered and it’s Inaros with a chance to fire a kill shot on a crippled Rocy and Holden gets a little Bluetooth connection notification as the warhead comes back into range/is armed and its like Well then… **boop**

Yeah I can also imagine Inaros using as a bomb - killing thousands and sending Holden a message going - cheers mate could not have done it without you.

A dead Inoras is a major threat removed - he and his second seem to to be the organisers - take them out the whole things falls apart and splits back up into warring factions.
Looking forward to seeing what happens on Sunday

Honestly? Not much. It's of two varieties:
1) stuff that would've been interesting if developed over time - but instead will just be speed through in the final episode.
2) stuff that doesn't matter at all to the current plot & will matter even less if there's not some sort of continuation of the series somehow/somewhere.
So i've got mixed feelings on that finale. Not as bad as game of thrones, and I was entertained throughout. But it wrapped up a bit too neat and open in some ways. I expected more consequences and deaths, things kinda wrapped up too nice and tidy in some ways.
The way this season was filmed was as if they do expect to continue it in the future. But if they don't, a lot of the time spent in this season would have been better spent elsewhere with the characters that mattered. That is a pretty big gamble on their part.
Well in the books there's a time jump after this, right? I think that's what this aims to set up, but does so in a way that if it doesn't, then it's ok, because the story was resolved.
Either way, I thought it was exciting. Edge of my seat for most of it, especially the assault on the ring station. I liked where all the characters ended up, especially my fav character, Drummer!
Only disappointment was that the super duper elite strike team didn't really do anything except get shot up.
Of course, did you spot the names of the strike team members?
I was surprised at the slow pacing of the season when lots of commentary was how they had to cut it down and make it shorter. They did have me thinking Drummer was toast so happy how things turned out for her!

Yeah, well... with the sole exception of that fether Filip.

Yeah, when we saw dad bite it and there was not a single shot of him I’d figured he was no longer on the ship somehow.
So assuming this Doesn’t get picked up for more seasons, does the series here give you the relevant information needed to pick the story up with book seven?

Sort of? There's a fair bit of changes to make the medium change work, like condensing a few characters (Drummer, for instance), and of course Alex isn't dead in the books. Haven't watched the last season due to utterly loathing the Marcos arc, but in general you should be able to hop over without too much difficulty?
I have mixed feelings on the finale. I'd have preferred less seizure inducing space pew pew (just because Amazon is throwing money at you doesn't mean you have to spend it on vfx!) and a more personalized ending to the main villain but it is what it is. It's not bad per se but not particularly good either... which frankly encapsulates my feelings on the final season as a whole.

I just downloaded the audiobook of the first novel as well.

There are sooooo many fans bitter and salty that the show is ending at S6.
JSAC adapted the episodes for TV.
They wrote them to end in S6.
So in essence, "That's all they wrote, the fat lady has sung her last, and the space opera is over."
There won't be any more unless some other rich old white guy picks it up, and I'm not putting my money on it.
But letting go has always been something that fan groups have shown they are unable to do.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
I guess that qualifies as a squad of ultimate badasses?!
Overall I think the end was fine, if a little rushed. I don’t know that there’s enough to justify an extra episode, but I think they could have given this one another 20 minutes for the wrap up montage at the end, so it felt less like they were just skipping through it.

I thought it worked well - nice to leave a bit of mystery and opportunity for more but the main charatcers story has finished
It looked good and had all the principal players behaving as they should.
the not so good
Spoiler:
The little Philp brat escaping for absolutely no reason. That was annoying.
And yeah the wave to Aliens and the rest was a nice touch indeed - I only caught the Aliens first time so thanks for the screen grab
