Cibola burn has about as much plot as a pretty good Stargate 2-parter (and I say this as someone who likes that book more than I probably should) so I can't see it taking up a whole season.

this season probably ends with Holden's vision of the alien civ dieing and the 2nd slowdown

I mean, Dandelion Sky is episode 10. We'll be getting some slow zone here. Heck, I'm kind of wondering if they can compress all the important bits of Abbadon's Gate into 6 episodes (starting with "Investigator") and they probably could. Depending on how many seasons they think they'll get they could wrap up an abbreviated Abbadon's Gate this season, and skip straight into Nemesis Games to get to the juicy stuff quicker.

An episode earlier I think, "Delta-V" is probably gonna feature the slingshotter shooting the ring and getting turned into paste

e: i'm unreasonably excited that they named an episode Dandelion Sky

Probably get through the slow zone disaster and open the gates up.
I'm basing that on this tweet

The UNN also lost a ton of ships in the Battle of Io IIRC

I think the fact that it hits a visible "wall" also helps to visualize that it's suddenly decelerating (and that everyone by the ring can see what's happening; I forget how they know about the deceleration thing in the book).

I think they just had his datastream from the ship showing the deceleration, but it's been a while.

IIRC you can't 'see' though a ring into the slow zone but can the opposite way

The space around the ring was warped looking, like gravitational lensing or some poo poo, so they're at least at the event horizon or whatever. And the Y Que clearly passed thorugh. I'm thinking that they've just changed the nature of the slow zone slightly so they can space out the holy poo poo what the gently caress is that?!? reveals a bit.

Apparently the first draft of whichever episode he gets spiked to the wall in s1 he died in, and they changed it because Abraham and Frank were like "uh, he comes back later"

I had heard 7, and they planned to adapt all 9 books
