Comments
Go back, watch, and listen. I have not said anything that has not been said by the characters on camera. However, I shall stop making any comments or anything else in the future. Have fun.

2023-05-29 18:41:41 +0000 UTCI would buy this if she hadn't just very publicly escaped. We know the Martian authorities were sent to search for her once already.

2023-05-29 17:30:41 +0000 UTCI think I'd die and go to heaven if they got to book 8 (my favorite), but I'd prolly stick around for book/season 9!!!

2023-05-27 22:17:48 +0000 UTCAlex. He is a sailor of the show, a show which like many sf series in space has some of 'naval vibe'. Sailors are often emotionally attached to their ships, I guess it works more with the English language because a ship is a 'she'. I would argue that the Rocinante is one of characters in the series much like the Serenity in Firefly, though there are other ship characters in the Expanse. Amos and the granade. Amos is very fast and reacts like many experienced soldiers do in a stressful situation when reacting in a second can save you or kill you. Throwing a granade back is one of more obvious, though difficult reactions in combat. Bobbie. I think that with her character we slowly learn how much Mars actually sucks. There are some good things about its distinct civilisation, but it is not a great place to live. I find Draper a very interesting character, especially as a different point of view in some situations - the first proverbial Martian we have in this show who doesn't just die. Alex is something else spending so much time on the Canterbury far away from Martian society, its military and government. Her escape can be explained in many ways, but here is just one - on Mars you obey and trust the state, so any act of rebellions seems weird and unexpected. In a way it is like with the Prussian state where trust in a uniform of armed forces was so great anyone wearing it could easily exert authority leading to weird, funny but also horrible consequences. When Bobbie was leaving the place - she was leaving so obviously she was authorised to do so. Rebelliion is unthinkable and only extreme circumstances led her to this act of disobedience. Take care!

2023-05-27 01:36:29 +0000 UTCOne of the earlier reactors went to school there, FailWhale. I always think about that when I see the building now! And that is one of my favorite scenes when Bobbie runs to the UN side of the checkpoint and requests asylum on Earth (when she previously wanted to destroy it!). Meeting Nico helped her to understand that not everyone on Earth is a "taker" and that people are suffering there as well.

2023-05-27 01:35:46 +0000 UTCI *think* what happened with Bobby is that they didn't actually issue any orders about her, otherwise they'd have to say *why* and nobody wants anything on the record about that. When the soldiers went after her, I suspect Martens or his sentry came round and loosed the guards.

2023-05-26 22:39:56 +0000 UTCI'm not sure what the policy is on posting video links but there are some awesome behind the scenes, discussion, and related videos for the Expanse on Chris Danelon's youtube channel.

2023-05-26 19:37:04 +0000 UTCI feel like this episode marks the beginning of my favorite stretch of the show all the way through season 3. I think Nerdy will agree with Clarus about this becoming their all time favorite show pretty soon.

2023-05-26 19:35:24 +0000 UTCThe next episode what happens on Ganymede makes me cry every time. So touching.

2023-05-26 17:39:04 +0000 UTCAfter this episode first aired, I remember hearing an interview with Frankie Adams (Bobbie). She got a little too forceful during the fight scene and shoved the other actor into the TV screen, breaking it. That wasn't scripted and the TV wasn't a prop. The other actor went with it but needed medical attention afterwards. Frankie was perfect casting for this role.

2023-05-26 17:32:58 +0000 UTCWhen this episode first aired, somebody posted a funny thread on The Expanse subreddit called "What the hell is going on in Mei's backback?" Btw, the creator of the backpack animation made a short video featuring Misko and Marisko to help promote the #SaveTheExpanse campaign after the SyFy network cancelled it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWeai6OlTIc

2023-05-26 16:05:36 +0000 UTCI read the first three books after watching the show, and I will say that as good as book 2 was, the show does an even better job with it, particularly with Errinwright. What a character.

2023-05-26 12:45:53 +0000 UTCS2E7 - Anderson Dawes: "Ha.. You remind me of someone. Just missing the hat, that's all". Miller's one-track mind and focus, combined with Holden's PTSD from Eros has basically made Holden act like Miller in his hunt to destroy the Protomolecule. Honestly, you guys are about to watch some seriously, seriously good TV from here on out. Next one is a special one among the fans, of which you'll know why soon. It's just beautiful. Oh, and in case nobody has mentioned it already, 3x5 and 3x6 have to be watched together as it's the end of book 2. Trust me on this, you'll be gagging for it if you have to wait a week to watch.

2023-05-26 06:13:43 +0000 UTCClarus was 💯 about the backpack 😂. I’ve seen this episode so many times and never noticed it. But agreed, Amos and the grenade scene was great. And no, they don’t fuck it up like GOT season 8 lol.

2023-05-26 05:46:35 +0000 UTCAlso, I think the reason Bobbie could pull off the escape with such relative ease is that she was supposed to be under direct personal guard, but took him out. I don't think they would have told all embassy guards and staff that she was on lockdown, because that would naturally create questions about WHY she was on lockdown. I'm guessing her status was sort of a need-to-know thing to minimize any potential issue, and so she was able to get a little time before someone "in the know" realized she was missing/escaping. I also think of my dad's advice for sneaking backstage at concerts back in the day: "Look like what you're doing is more important than what they're doing and they'll never ask any questions." She's also just a damn good marine.

2023-05-26 05:10:31 +0000 UTCExpanse TTRPG is great, I've been in a campaign for about six months and loved every minute.

2023-05-26 04:28:22 +0000 UTCActually, the reason that Strickland is using Mei, and other children is that their genetic illness allows him to exert control over the Caliban. Or so they said in the book.
Bryce Carlson
2023-05-26 04:25:18 +0000 UTCHolden's "plan" regarding the Caliban is effectively going "Captain Ahab." However, he's not in armor but he has an MCRN frigate that he's flying.

2023-05-26 04:19:33 +0000 UTCI would love to see you folks playing The Expanse RPG.

2023-05-26 04:02:22 +0000 UTCDo you remember when Naomi told Fred "someday I will give you a name."?
Bryce Carlson
2023-05-26 03:38:36 +0000 UTCAnd how do you know how "accurate" the protomolecule is? Are you an expert on extrasolar life-like nano-systems?
Bryce Carlson
2023-05-26 03:32:15 +0000 UTCI think with the Misko/Marisko thing, it's perspective that's messing us up. Before they go holographic and 3D, you can see the triceratops has something in its hand that it's licking. It's just unfortunate that the positioning and perspective when they go holographic really make it look like it's licking the other one's tail XD Bobby absolutely wilds out in this episode. I do think she was maybe able to get out as easy as she did because her transport home was more or less imminent at that point, and they'd already seen her head out of the embassy to be ready to head back. Naomi's absolute bombshell rocked me when I first watched this. And it likely calls back to season 1, both on the Donnager when she was mourning not being able to say goodbye, and in a later episode when she said she'd come to Fred Johnson with a name. Amos throwing back the grenade was so great, and it followed up by the sounds of carnage is just...*chef's kiss*
Amber A
2023-05-26 03:22:25 +0000 UTCAgree. Season 6 is fire. Satisfying ending, even though it’s not the end of the expanse story overall. Hopefully we get the final 3 books adapted someday.
Richard Craig
2023-05-26 02:59:47 +0000 UTCI loved yalls reaction to this episode. Just so you know The Expanse sticks it's ending with a perfect score imo. It only goes up from here. I'm looking forward to the next episode!!!
Daxeah
2023-05-26 02:52:17 +0000 UTCFun Fact: The Martian Embassy was filmed at UoT (Scarborough). S-pacific ally the Science Wing of the school. Both exteriors and interiors were shot there.
T. Arnold Ferguson
2023-05-26 02:42:11 +0000 UTCDrat! I'd planned to point this out once they hit this episode, and you beat me to it. Absolutely true though. At Epstein drive speeds crossing a good chunk of the solar system is at most weeks, but thrusters and gravity would be thousands of times slower. Just moving from one of Jupiter's moons to another at those speeds would be weeks at best, could even be months or years.

2023-05-26 02:13:18 +0000 UTCDid anyone say The Expanse TTRPG? Yes, I would. FYI the base game takes place between the events of books 1 and 2 (after S2E5), so if you're moving forward with that, make sure you plan and don't spoil yourselves using the later sourcebooks. Edit: spoiler warning for the rpg

Brandon Duckett
2023-05-26 01:45:10 +0000 UTCIn the beginning Dr. Strickland was giving Mei the common names of plants and she was giving the Genus (some geeky daughter of a botanist game).
Alan Eschenbacher
2023-05-26 01:41:49 +0000 UTCSmall note about Alex's thruster-only trip to Ganymeade, it is possible to do but the time frame is unrealistic as all get out. Definitely the least accurate thing in the show outside of the protomolecule stuff that got put in
Kirby Glover
2023-05-26 01:34:08 +0000 UTCYes!!!!!!
