Just wrapped it up...
I stopped reading the books after what was covered in S4. I learned there was a big time jump between the Inaros war and what comes next, all but replacing the main crew? I was hoping the show would go into whatever happens with the protomolecule, with the established cast, so I'm really disappointed it ends not far from what I read up to.
The show was far superior to the books, however, as we get Drummer. She and Ashford were among my favs, along with Miller and Amos (Alex #1 for me, more on him later).
I think we can all appreciate how amazing the first few seasons were. S4's plotline could have been wrapped up in a few episodes, while combining S5 into it, leaving us with two seasons to wrap up the war we didn't care that much about, and give full attention to the protomolecule/ancients plot that tickled the imagination.
Hopefully some streaming service picks it back up to give us a couple of more seasons, if not a limited run (prefer the former). Too much is left on the table, but at least it ended with the possibility to be continued.
I really miss Alex, he was the heart and soul of the Roci, but you can't blame the showrunners for that, what an idiot! I still liked the Roci crew they had at the end, good thing they wrote more for the Bobbie character, as opposed to the books, she was solid. Death by Snu Snu please.
