Another one of the great things about The Expanse moving to Prime is that the main titles won't have to be cut for length anymore. Rewatching the series now, I can see how many times they had to cut it down to make the show fit in it's 45 minute timeslot. And I just love everything about this opening - the beautiful time-lapse images of our galaxy, the haunting melody, the percussive beat behind it all...

FYI, season 3 will be up on Prime on February 8th and I *think* this is internationally, so if you have Amazon Prime, you should be able to watch the entire series streaming then. No excuses, mark your calendar because you'll want to binge it. But give yourself time between episodes to think about what happens.

I'm really enjoying my rewatch because I'm pacing myself (I'm watching while riding my exercise bike, so 20 minute sessions) and it gives me more time to reflect on characters and what not. We watched it all pretty fast the first time because we just wanted to know what was happening. This rewatch reminds me of when I watched Lord of the Rings for the second time - it's like "Hey, I know their names now!" LOL.

I thought it was coming back later which would have suited me better, as I am still in the midst of service juggling and we're not really ready to give Prime a trial run yet. So I probably won't see it until March but I am looking forward to it.

oh heck yes, the opening is so beautiful and i'm always sad when it gets cut short in the show, haha. the vocals are so haunting! and the images are beautiful... damn.

The only thing I dislike about the opening titles is how much it makes me think I'll love the whole soundtrack, but honestly the entire soundtrack is a little stressful for me!

But I do love this music so much.
