Must be nice. When you like a TV series, but it gets canceled, to be able to buy the whole thing.

haha, exactly what I thought. Although he is doing us all a favor. I stopped watching season 3 although I loved the series, because I saw that it was cancelled and didn't want to leave on a cliffhanger. Now ill get back at it.

  FWIW, in the wake of the news about cancellation, the producers said that S3 won't be ending with a huge cliffhanger. Anyway, I'm extremely happy to see The Expanse saved.

    They’ve been pretty good about not ending a season on a cliffhanger. That’s one of the many things I’ve enjoyed about the show.

Didn’t buy it, but got the US first broadcast rights. I think.

  But did throw enough money at the production company to keep it in production :-D

He's already throwing a billion dollars a year at Blue Origin. This is a cheap way to market and promote space exploration.

Do we know Bezos likes the show? The headline is strange, there is zero mention in the article that he had any actual input into the decision.

  Bezos is known to be a fan of the franchise. The text of the first book was actually shown in one of his Kindle demos some years back. There has been a consensus within The Expanse community for a couple weeks now that Bezos was personally invested in getting the show renewed and was working to make it happen.

Sources say Bezos is a big fan of the book and was livid that the TV series went to NBCUniversal-owned Syfy. The move is said to have ignited Bezos' demand that Amazon Studios brass find the company's version of Game of Thrones.

Hi Neals, Sorry to barge in to this discussion, but I found no other way to contact you:/ I was reading an old thread on remote work, where you mentioned looking for part-time remote developers. If this is still true, please contact me, I might be interested. My e-mail can be seen in my profile (it’s my username with @gmail.com attached)
