8 Things We Want To See In The Expanse Season 6 (From A Non-Book Reader)
8. Acknowledgement Of Alex
Cas Anvar had a rather dishonourable exit from The Expanse after allegations of misconduct were brought forward against him (although it was never made expressly clear if Anvar's departure was already planned to be the fifth season but it seems doubtful). This resulted in an incredibly lacklustre death for his character Alex Kamal who died of a stroke practically off screen.
The crew of the Roci did react to Alex's demise but it was very understated and Holden seemed more broken up by Fred Johnson's death a few episodes prior. Just because the actor has a tarnished reputation doesn't mean that the character deserves to be swept under the rug.
The Roci is yet to fully tackle Alex's passing and a proper acknowledgement of his death from the crew feels right in the final season. For someone who has been around since the start of the show, fans will miss Alex's presence in the final episodes so it makes sense to give the character a couple nods in Season Six.
