I haven't read the last two books so probably won't watch it for a while.

You two do realize that Leviathan Falls takes place long after Season 6, right, and that watching S6 won't spoil any of the book? Or are you referring to Babylon's Ashes?

Leviathan Falls is fantastic, by the way.

EDIT- The last episode is meant to be 75 mins I think too

How about Microsoft for an Expanse - Halo crossover .

Neo Cortex wrote:The Expanse finale nailed it. Feels like a proper ending, and yet really leaves the threads dangling for the future. And unlike oh I dunno...The Witcher season 2 it actually stuck to the book for the most part. Top stuff.

Amazon And MGM Close $8.5 Billion Merger

Amazon and MGM said Thursday that their $8.5 billion deal has closed. The storied, nearly century-old studio — with more than 4,000 film titles, 17,000 TV episodes, 180 Academy Awards and 100 Emmy Awards — is now part of Amazon “and will complement Prime Video and Amazon Studios’ work in delivering a diverse offering of entertainment choices to customers,” Amazon said in its announcement.

It’s early days yet with the deal just closed this morning, but here’s what else could be gleaned about the new entity:

In terms of production, Amazon is excited by MGM’s slate and doesn’t anticipate changes in release dates or on projects that are in progress.
Amazon is not planning to make all MGM content exclusive to Prime Video.
On theatrical, Amazon intends to continue supporting theatrical release, not as a one-size-fits-all proposition but something to be determine case by case.
There are no plans to make changes to the Bond franchise.

MGM’s motion picture group, led by chairman Michael De Luca and president Pamela Abdy, has had a great run recently with Paul Thomas Anderson’s widely nominated Licorice Pizza, House of Gucci and the latest Bond installment No Time to Die. Its library includes titles like 12 Angry Men, Basic Instinct, Creed, James Bond, Legally Blonde, Moonstruck, Poltergeist, Raging Bull, Robocop, Rocky, Silence of the Lambs, Stargate, Thelma & Louise, Tomb Raider, The Magnificent Seven, The Pink Panther and The Thomas Crown Affair to name a few. Standouts in TV, overseen by Mark Burnett, include Fargo, The Handmaid’s Tale and Vikings.
