Not a huge sci-fi nerd, or a big fan of reaction videos, but loving your The Expanse videos. Having watched the whole series multiple times and read the books (to the end), it really is something special, maybe the best written show (of any genre) in almost a decade. Subscribed for the time being to get your whole reactions.

2023-05-16 16:12:41 +0000 UTCI am sure Nerdy just needs a little push to release two a week, Right Nerdy!

2023-05-16 00:47:10 +0000 UTCI remember the planets with the mnemonic "My Very Early Morning Jam Sandwiches Usually Nauseate People." The asteroid belt is between Mars and Jupiter. Ganymede is a moon of Jupiter, so the Arborghast and team science has gone towards the sun, or into the Gravity Well, and the Roci crew are heading away from Earth, or out of the Well, so yeah, it wasn't the Roci that the Arborghast saw it's presumably their opposite numbers from Mars. "Welwala" is presumably derived from "Well" and "Wallah" meaning a person from a place. Miller got called a Welwala in the first episode.

2023-05-13 05:08:04 +0000 UTCThe books make the science a character in the story though a lot of it gets lost in the way that television works, so we don't see half-an-hour passages of time between the UN sending orders to Ganymede and getting acknowledgment.

2023-05-12 23:53:02 +0000 UTCViewers tend to miss that coming to Earth means that every one of the Martian contingent weighs three times what they are used to and has to take medication for their cardio-vascular systems to keep up with the load since only the active duty Marines (like Bobbie) regularly train their bodies to handle that load.

2023-05-12 23:05:36 +0000 UTCRemember that Holden said that they would need to sneak past both the Martian and UN blockades around Ganymede.

2023-05-12 22:50:34 +0000 UTCCotyar was hired as part of Avasarala's security team. His public position is effectively being her bodyguard. Everyone knows he's there. The part that's secret is that, in the background, Cotyar is using his spy network to gather and distribute information on Avasarala's behalf. He's not undercover or hiding from the UN or anything like that.

2023-05-12 15:46:54 +0000 UTCThe passage of time is frequently addressed in the books. In those books it can take weeks or months to get from one planetary body to the next and explained away with a few words. Doing the same with a show is far more difficult. They could go the route of writing "Three Weeks Later" etc. all of the time to mirror the books, but it would only work to extract the viewer from their immersion I think.

2023-05-12 05:36:57 +0000 UTCThe weeping somnambulist means the weeping sleepwalker. Kind of a cool name.

2023-05-12 02:22:19 +0000 UTCThe books/show are about humanity, and no matter how we humans feel we've progressed-history keeps repeating over and again, so we never learn to put down our sticks and rocks and just get along. I love it when reactors call Mao "Meow" lol. I hope ya'll will do the books on utube like with whatever you're reading now.

2023-05-12 01:45:47 +0000 UTCaHEM. The East River and the Hudson River are at their cleanest point that they have been since the 1820s, Mr. Nerdy. Just because the waters of the north half of the Atlantic are black, and not blue, does not make the water dirty. Dolphin pods are seen on the regular now in the waters around New York City, thankyouverymuch. Just because the only time the subways get cleaned is during the hurricanes doesn't mean that the rivers or the harbor are dirty. That's my home you're disparaging based on visions of yesteryear and expectations of the Carribbean. It's not that kinda island, fam.

2023-05-12 01:19:50 +0000 UTCIt does mention trips taking a week or so in the books, but in the show it does a lot of the space travel off screen to expedite things. I'm personally fine with suspending my disbelief about them not constantly giving one line blurbs about how long its taken it them to get from point a to point b, because a: it would kind of be annoying and b: The Expanse isnt really fully hard sci-fi anyway. Whats the phrase? (paraphrasing) "do a bit of science, then bend it for the story".

2023-05-12 00:40:28 +0000 UTCCotyar was hired as part of Chrisjen's "Security Detail" so it wouldn't stand out as crazy that he tends to be everywhere with her. Of course he's doing his spy actions but the others wouldn't really think much about him.

2023-05-12 00:24:46 +0000 UTCI do love that you can pretty much always understand the motivations of all the characters. You can understand why they do the things they do - even if you disagree with everything about what it how they do it. The books are great, and I'd love to see you do an in depth comparison of them to the show, it's (in my opinion) a masterclass in how to adapt a series of books for the screen. How you can make changes / shuffle things around / drop or add storylines - and still remain absolutely true to the spirit and major plot beats of the original. But watch the show through first :-)

2023-05-11 23:31:09 +0000 UTCNerdy really put the essence of the show into a few words. This show is at its core about people, not the protomolecule. Great discussion as always. These reactions are a highlight to my week.

2023-05-11 23:10:21 +0000 UTCJupiter's Orbital radius averages a bit over 5 AUs(Astronomical units.... the distance between the Earth and the Sun) Tycho station is in the asteroid belt (inside Jupiter's orbit) the furthest they'd need to travel is at MOST 10 AUs. In a ship that accelerates/decelerates the whole trip at 0.5Gs(Half Earth's gravity) you can cover 10 AUs in under 13 days. (At 1 G it'd be about 9 days to go 10 AU) We weren't told Tycho's position relative to Jupiter when they left so we don't know the distance, but the trip should take between a few days and two weeks tops.

2023-05-11 23:05:22 +0000 UTCIs this two Expanse reaction videos in one week? or am I just not keeping up?? Whatever. I'm loving it.

2023-05-11 22:45:16 +0000 UTCI love how you are talking about the time it takes to travel from different places with in the solar system. In the books they do go into how much time has passed traveling between places. In the show if they gave the detail of how much time has passed it would make the show feel disjointed imo. They leave it ambiguous to create a flow in the story. I watched one reactor who could not understand why Holden and Naomi were so serious in their relationship after half a season not realizing that months and months could have gone by in just half a season. You do get the odd character that disappears for an episode to show travel time like Bobbie in episode 8 while she was traveling to Earth. Keep it up yall!!! Next episode is one of my favorites. I'll be eagerly awaiting its release!

2023-05-11 22:40:56 +0000 UTCKeep in mind that in this show/universe, there's no such thing as anti/artificial gravity. there's planetary gravity, rotation gravity, and thrust gravity.
