Is anybody else watching The Expanse?

fuck, I forgot the second ep was out already.

gonna try to watch while I work later.

I don't care about the little girl and her brother. I was really hoping the alien creature was going to eat her.

same, she’s an idiot

agree 100%

Tracer, Cara is the little girl. (I just realized that the name could be unclear for a show viewer, since it's also the name of a prominent cast member.)

thx for clarifying- i was v confused

haven't read the books -- are those scenes just hail marys that someone will let them continue the series? i'm having a hard time believing that they'll amount to anything useful toward wrapping this season up

Yeah, my partner and I were like, "this is bullshit, tho we can see where it's going..."

Good episode last night!~

smdh holden

We talked about how that was a shit move but also how...well, having an antagonist like Marco is what a show like this demands, in some way...

I'm confused about how Marcos was able to fire the drive back up and go away, was that some protomolecule trick?

Holden’s move didn’t make sense even for his noble fair play ethic. Probably table has right explanation - can’t kill Marco in E3 of 6.

These episodes go by so fast

What’s not to make sense. Didn’t want to kill his girlfriends son.

Amos and Bobbie scenes are so precious.

Amos and Bobbie scenes are so precious.

The little extra scene between the two of them was great.

still can't figure out how to see those, watching on Prime video

They're supposed to be exclusive to the mobile apps, I've read.

No, I watch on a laptop and they're in the left-hand sidebar along with headshots of the cast members, trivia, etc. You just have to mouse over the left side of the screen and the link pops up.

I’m on a PlayStation and get it!

dan otm. holden’s decision is a mirror image of marco’s frankly psychotic choice to once again attempt to get his son to repudiate naomi but this time by ordering him to actually pull the trigger that will kill his own mother

“no coercive methods” - o rly avasarala?

excellent value canteen chat between amos and bobbie as noted above

“whole crew has PTSD” comment upthread otm, holden sounds like tom waits in the first scene

permanent inaros battle-bun now

space camerawork so great again. the pull back from exploding ceres was amazing. i interpreted those bombs as little “surprises” from the free navy? all part of being “prepared” for the inners?

the streams of “bullet” fire or whatever those missile countermeasures are during the battle between the roci and the pallas were fantastic too

the moment inaros’ face shows up on th roci’s screen was kind of a “finally!” moment

amos: “did we win?” lolll

literally no other person ever would have made that choice

i mean dan otm, and i suppose i'd forgotten that we spent five seasons establishing holden as essentially an angel. but he'd better re-assume his full angeldom soon

yeah and beyond just demonstrating "holden good / inaros psycho" - as if we needed any more proof of that - it shows how important naomi is to him and by extension how the personal has come to be as important, or more important, than saving the world. this time, this choice, was a personal one but yes it comes at a public price

inaros also made the choice to pursue a personal goal instead of the smart military move and it's cost him whatever respect his son still had for him

I like tracer’s analysis of the contrast between Holden and Inaros even though I still think Holden’s decision begs credulity. So on the list of things Holden regrets is going to be all the folks killed by Inaros’s subsequent actions?

marco is a classic small guy (without even taking into account any belter physiognomy, which we obviously have not)

Holden's entire persona is being the guy who does good things when it would be better if he didn't

Loved this episode, they're just too short though! This is the first season that I didn't binge (discovered the show in the summer, thanks ILX!) - a 40-minute Expanse session every week doesn't quite satisfy like two hours every night.

I love that someone on the design team of this show probably thought, "How can we visually demonstrate how annoying and horrible Marco is? ... Let's give him a man-bun!"

I'm an episode or two behind ... the blond woman is totally fucking or wants to fuck marco, yeah?

I am actually okay with Filip tbh ... reminds me of D'angelo Barksdale in The Wire

That’s a super interesting comparison!

Let's give him a man-bun!

I was actually wondering if he was balding a little under that!

i was behind, caught up now

blonde girl who wants to fuck inaros = is tge actress who also played clare in beverly hills 90210!

inaros Pella bridge looks like a Top of The Pops set for Depeche Mode

holden has always been referred to by Mr Veg as The Boyscout and this assessment has held water. this move was SO infuriating but v in keeping with his character so 🤷🏻‍♀️

love the awkard looks from amos during the infodump section of plant guy’s message

blonde girl & marco have matching buns!!!

also ... did I mishear a bit of dialog or did someone actually mention "spreadsheets" in reference to supplies for Ceres. Like, after all these centuries and technological and linguistic evolution would belters actually use the word "spreadsheets"?

maybe its like part of officer uniform code

maybe they are BATTLE BUNS!

WAR BUNS

noticed this week that the canadian cinematic universe rolls on — the actress who plays the journalist on the expanse showed up on letterkenny

i am slightly in love with her

tracer, watch the letterkenny episode. she’s in CAR SALES

Same, Tracer.

Found this on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CTk8V7KLaxX/

Which is both peak Canadian and peak sci fi.

the juxtaposition of her very serious characters I’ve recently seen on screen and that instagram username is killing me

still episodes are TOO SHORT but I fully respect the way they engineered a scene to redeem Michio's reputation despite nobody really caring about her
