* QuestionableCasting: Arjun Avasarala was recast for Season 4, with Michael Benyear replacing Brian George, who was unavailable. The differences are so striking that essentially nobody realized they were meant to be the same character, and Benyear makes no attempt to emulate George's performance. Benyear looks completely different from George, uses a different accent, plays the role a little more coldly than George's warm portrayal, and is much younger than either Brian George or Shoreh Aghdashloo. It inadvertently ends up looking like Chrisjen just ditched her first husband for a boytoy between seasons.

This entire situation is made even weirder with the fact that Brian George ''does'' reprise the role for Telltale Games series.

* EvilIsSexy:
** More "Morally Ambiguous Is Sexy," but Amos (being played by [[MrFanservice Wes Chatham]]) is ''very'' good-looking for a near-sociopath. [[AmazonianBeauty Bobbie Draper]] also initially falls into this category, though it's later inverted upon her HeelFaceTurn in the second half of Season 2.
** Melba/[[spoiler:Clarissa Mao]] is quite beautiful for a psychologically unstable murderer and saboteur.

* FanficFuel: There's a ''lot'' of speculation throw about in the fanbase that ''The Expanse'' takes place in the same universe as ''Literature/TheMartian'', fueled by the constant back-and-forth jokes, jabs, jives and vague cryptic references between their respective authors. Not helping matters is that ''in'' the world of the Expanse itself, the Free Navy owns a Martian ship called the "Mark Watney." While it's typically Earth that names their ships after famous, and supposed, historical figures, Mars isn't above this practice either, with ship names such as the "Armstrong", named after UsefulNotes/NeilArmstrong, and the relatively self-explanatory "UsefulNotes/{{Hammurabi}}."
