The Expanse 2x12 The Monster and the Rocket Early Reaction!

Chaampaaaa T_T

I think if we had to pick one character to come back to the show in some form, a lot of us would pick Champa. What a scene! You had an interesting solution but probably only a few more people would fit in the air lock. Another potential monster in the making here is our beloved Holden! He almost misses a chance to save Naomi and Amos et al by being hell bent on revenge for Eros. Meanwhile Naomi is determined to make up for the losses on Eros by saving as many as she can. It is a scene for the ages and as much as I love S3, S2 lives on in my emotional heart for this episode as well as for E5, Home.

Ohh I think I missed that part about Korshinov. Your cucumber theory makes a lot of sense! Oh, yeah, that makes sense that people are still so distraught by the dock scene that they miss the hybrid xD

Bobby during her debrief after her defection, she tells Avasarala that Martin was involved and that she suspect Korshinov was involved as well. The cucumber thing I suspect is that nutritionally cucumbers are rubbish and take loads of water, so outside of Earth I suspect that they would be a total luxury food, hence Bobby's reaction. (No proof to back that up, just my theory) Mao, I don't think its about riches, its all about the protomolecule and coming to terms with it. He views the govts of Earth and Mars as immature, childish, and short sighted, because they just want to make weapons from it, while meanwhile he recognises the bigger picture. That dock scene is one of my absolute favourites. What I love about the show is how it can introduce characters that don't even have names or even speak, and make you care immensely for them, to the point of tears, like the Indian lad, stopped. As Fergerson commented alot of reactors are still recovering from the dock scene and actually miss the hybrid on the roci.

Oof! Viewers must have been like "Nooooooooo" haha

I definitely thought he was a minor character early on, but I can definitely see why the producers did that!

BTW, congratulations for spotting the hybrid on board the Rocinante in the last shor. Most reactors miss it.

The producers have said the role of Errinwright was initially supposed to be a relatively minor one, but when they realized what a good actor Shawn Doyle is, they beefed it up.
