The Expanse 3x01 Reaction

I guess we'll just have to see how this plays out, won't we?

Why wouldn’t she believe that Earth & Mars have it? Mao IS Earth based, she wouldn’t know he’s working for himself. Pheobe where it was found was a joint UN/Mars research station, there’s always a chance Mars took a sample from the source. And if it wasn’t for Chrisjen poking around and then Errinwrights fuckery both Earth & Mars WOULD have samples of it. If it’s “out in the world now” as everyone believes then Earth & Mars are going to get samples of it. I don’t think that’s paranoia, I think that’s foresight.

As far as we know, Jules Pierre-Mao is the only one with the protomolecule. Naomi's belief that Earth & Mars have it comes from her own paranoia, IMO. I don't know anyone else who's made that claim. That would mean her reasons for giving it to Fred Johnson are specious.

also i don't remember if this was mentioned but i remember that when they named the ship rocinante amos mentioned it meant 'work horse' which it's actually wrong, the word which means work horse is 'rocín' and as i don't know how familiar you are with don quijote de la mancha i wanted to mention that rocinante was actually the name of his horse, which if i remember correctly was skinny and weak. so all in all james as a character is often paralleling Alonso Quijano and his idealism

the ship that bobbie and chrisjen are on is the razorback, the ship "julie" talked about in 2x05 when miller was naviating through eros with all the protomolecule. it's the ship she dreamt she was piloting when she was moving eros towards earth. edit: i'm just listening to the discussion and you caught that so my apologies

I am feeling so bad for your anticipatory grief (yes, that is what it is called!). You need to have faith in the writers and the best part is that you are one of the most intelligent reactors I have seen with great comments and insights. Its almost unbearable to think how much you will love this season!!

EP12&13 were originally broadcast together as a "grand finale" for the series. EP5&6 each aired one week apart, but I agree they should be watched together (it was really painful having to wait that week.)

Seeing as no one told you, the ABC dynamic is sometimes like a comedy show 😆

Loved it like always . Don't know did anyone told you this before, but you should watch EP5&6 together and then again 12 and 13 . You don't have to of course , but most people like to do it since they are almost like part 1 and 2 of the same episode . Yes Amos trust Holden now more then Naomi . James is his compass now and he almost shot him in S1 E2 . One more thing when Avasarala was visiting James mother in season 1 she was holding Don Quixote , because that was Jimmy favorite book growing up and that is connected with that conversation he had with Prax . ( And of course James suggested name for their ship Rocinante , beause Rocinante is Don Quixote's horse in the book )

Hitch your tits and pucker up - Season 3 is a hell of a ride!

The group decided to go to Io which is one of jupiter's moons (pronounced the same as spelling it out, just name the letters "i" and "o") I loved how much YOU loved this episode, because it only gets better from here, all season long. Together you have interesting theories, you ask good questions, and you're very perceptive about individual characters and their motivations. More fun coming soon!

FYI, Io is another moon of Jupiter, like Ganymede (and a whole bunch of others)
