THAT EPISODE WAS... The Expanse S6:E5

That Episode Was… amazing, insane, ugh-terrible, glorious, delightful, sooooo disappointing, the best thing I’ve ever seen, ... *chef's kiss*! We all want our thoughts to be heard about the newest episode of whatever show it is we're watching. Social media is a deluge of quick opinions and hot takes.

That Episode Was… is our series of watercooler deep-dive discussions about currently airing TV shows, this time focusing on Season 6 of Amazon's THE EXPANSE. THE EXPANSE is a series created by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby and run by Naren Shankar. It’s based on the book series of the same name written by James S.A. Corey, a pen name for writing team Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.

This installment covers the show's fifth episode of season six, "Why We Fight", this time with Hugo award nominee Corinna Bechko as our guest. Listen as we extol all praises on Cara Gee, really dig into where the crew of the Rocinante stands as they learn to trust once again and pour one out for Josep's Deadpool arm.

POPSKL brings their professional creative backgrounds to this lively and thoughtful examination. Opinions fly and spoilers abound so be sure to watch each episode before tuning in! Find us here when you’re ready, and let us know what you thought That Episode Was...
