The Expanse Season Two

SCORE: 55

After watching the first two seasons of Castlevania I knew better what to expect from this show. Castlevania Season Three does all it can to be worse than the first two seasons. Please be aware there will be spoilers in this review. Thankfully there are only ten episodes in Castlevania Season Three. It takes two hundred and seventy minutes to watch Castlevania Season Three from start to finish. I have zero plans of watching this show again - ever. I believe this show could have been so much better without so much gross content.

Human life has little value in Castlevania Season Three. From the judge that kills off people he does not like with a pit near an apple tree to a mage that enslaves an entire town. Isaac one of the forge masters has a very low opinion of humans and tells the audience over and over again. He stabs people and turns them into demons. Or the demons somehow possess their bodies and take complete control. I am not sure which. Whatever it is - is it bad, dark, ugly, and nasty. He is one of the “heroes” in Castlevania Season Three.

The issues families will have with Castlevania Season Three are blood, gore, violence, magic, bad language, enticement to lust, nudity, sex outside of marriage, sexual deviancy, pro alcohol, and more. Castlevania Season Three attacks Christians multiple times. There are even lies about Christians in Castlevania Season Three. The monks serve a demonic creature because it spoke to them in their minds. An entire town is sacrificed to a demon so a doorway to hell could be opened. Why do that? To bring Dracula back to our world.

Alucard gets two apprentices who are obsessed with moving Dracula’s castle. They wind up betraying Alucard and dying for it. Alucard starts to behave a bit more like his dad Dracula after that. Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades hunt down night creatures and settle in a town for a bit. I honestly expected Trevor and Sypha to get married and have some kids. The Belmont line continues and those two make the most sense. Alucard starts to lose his mind early in Castlevania Season Three.

The storyline in Castlevania Season Three is way too predictable. They can’t have nice people or nice things in this show. There are predators and there are prey in Castlevania Season Three. Sometimes a predator thinks another predator is prey and pays the price for it. Hector the other forge master winds up a slave at the end of Castlevania Season Three. He thought life was turning around for him. He does not know Isaac is hunting him. - Paul

The core concept behind The Expanse is interesting. After watching season two of this television show I have plenty of thoughts to share. Please note there will be spoilers all throughout this review. The Expanse Season Two deals with Earth, Mars, and the Belt. The Belt feels like they are third class citizens, and are taken for granted. Earth and Mars have some battles in The Expanse Season Two. The Belters are the ones who wind up suffering the most.

The Expanse Season Two is very tribal. Earth does not like or trust Mars. Mars feels the same way about Earth. We have Martians wanting war with Earth, and people from Earth wanting war with Mars. The Belters want independence and feel like they are treated like properly. People from Earth and Mars will quickly kill anyone from the other tribe or anyone that threatens their tribe. The same goes for the Belters. The lessons about tribes wanting to destroy one another are very strong in The Expanse Season Two.

The proto-molecule does all kinds of crazy things within The Expanse Season Two. The Eros station and asteroid it is on starts moving of its own free will. Well technically the dead girl from the previous season is moving it. The proto-molecule is doing what she wants. Joe Miller goes to persuade her to to crash into Venus instead of Earth. It looks like they may have died. There are some hints near the end of The Expanse Season Two that they may still be alive. We will see in the future.

The issues families will have with The Expanse Season Two are violence, blood, bad language, lack of attire, enticement to lust, sex outside of marriage, evolution, nudity, and more. The Expanse Season Two got me thinking about science fiction. Why is there so much bad content in science fiction television shows? Why can’t we have a more clean science fiction show? Like the books I wrote under the Future Glimpses umbrella. Where are the clean science fiction television shows?

The proto-molecule supposedly comes from some alien destination. The Expanse Season Two does not really prove that though. It is more of a theory that is just accepted by others. There are other possible explanations that The Expanse Season Two does not even acknowledge. Amos continues to be a blood thirsty psychopath in The Expanse Season Two. I will probably watch a few more seasons since they are so short and see where this story goes. The Expanse Season Two is only thirteen episodes. - Paul
