We should all strive for such happiness.
Thinking about it cucumbers do require a lot of water, so it makes sense on Mars you wouldn't get something like that.

Holden is a shit head. He could of saved all those people if he wasn't so bent on killing that one protomolecule, when the scientist said there's a whole bunch of them.

and the ironic thing now is that its hitched a ride on his ship, so he is literally delivering destruction to wherever he goes next.
I know Naomi's gonna forgive him but if he had gone along to help the refugees they probably could have saved all of them.
That was a great scene with the big belter giving his speech on how they are belters and look out for each other, and his little hand up to the glass as the door closes was amazing.
To be fair he didn't know that the ship was low on air, comms were down by the time they realized so they couldn't contact the Rocinante.

No, but when Naomi prioritized saving people over Holden's crusade, a light should of gone off. He's a stubborn fool.
Expanse Season 3 OT: You people are shit magnets/Don't talk down to me, plant guy
Anyhow what was the reason for them not being able to dock with the station again? The station wasn't destroyed from what I understand, it was just running out of power or something but surely if that was the case the Rico could have gone back and taken the people left behind.
Also is everyone, including the MCRN is aware of Rocinate's martian make ?

Not a bad OT title, but i'll disagree if it ends on how it damn well should:
We need to talk

Yeah, that was an impressive swerve. Yikes Errwinright.
Yup, felt bad for Alex this week, he was right most of those times when Holden was biting his head off.
Was another fantastic episode!
This. Their scenes were a lot of fun.

This has to be one of the best sci fi series I have seen in a long while. Literally every episode is amazing.

Yeah Errinwright's turn to absolute villain was gold, and its great because you can totally SEE his justification - Avasarala is trying to make peace with Mars, she is meeting with the dude who gave Mars their weapon, she is more a diplomat than a war person so his ultimatum to Mao was in line with his thinking of "welp, I gotta do what I gotta do to save Earth."
Also if you haven't played it yet I would HIGHLY recommend Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare single player campaign. Its Mars (bad guys) vs Earth (you), and the real Jon Snow plays the villain so its a great little vignette on similar themes in this show. You also get to fly a ship so thats real fun.

I liked how the show packs characters into cluster groups to make the narrative manageable and makes those work. That Bobbie cucumber assault was wonderful. I hope she sticks with the under-secretary for a bit.
Also, that walk-in like she owned the place (and a different wardrobe -I think- from the previous shot, but okay). This episode was great.

Also,
I kept wondering 'when is it going to be on the ship' during that chase and in those last few seconds... how the hell did it get over there? Smart move for a stowaway though.
The last episode was awesome and so nice to see the scenes from book played out even if theres some substantial changes from the book. What I am wondering is the Chrisjens bodyguard basically good version of Soren from the book? I guess book 2 will be wrapped maybe around episode 3 or 4 in 3rd season since plenty stuff yet to happen.
The Roci was in a tight spot, all the AG Dome structural damage and framework allowed it get onboard.
They'll probably start the next ep with alarms going off because of a hull breach.
edit - forgot that they took some damage from the missile shrapnel that could've caused a breach that they ignore.
It also looked really big in the shot, albeit a portion of it, I looked up some roci size comparisons and if that thing is human sized, it looked all off.
can someone point out where the creature is at the final shot of episode 12? can't find it anywhere
iirc, the ship is pulling away, and as its rotating, you see an area of the ship that has a hole in it, with the PM in it.

Just started this series. Amazing so far and I wasnt a fan of BSG.
Id say my only complaints so far is that the show seems like its missing alot of detail that was probably in the books, or it goes through it really fast. Do the ships go into some kind of warp? I mustve had my head turned when they explained that. Also, Thomas Janes hair and hat just look ridiculous.

Even before we were born, before our ancestors immigrated to our new home, Earthers have dreamed of keeping Mars under its heel. Let's show them that fantasy is not real life!
Inter-planetary ships have Epstein drives, that are incredibly fuel-efficient fusion drives. It means you can constantly accelerate then flip half way through to decelerate.
They literally started an episode with how the inventor of the Epstein drive "died"* and his wife inherited his backup blueprints once it was figured out why he went missing.
*That whole sequence screams to me
I'm the reason the protomolecule was thrown into our solar system

so thats where the costume budget went..
Adam Savage visited costume department, they showed him all the work with the dirty and grimey suits, and then a lot of the Avasarala colourful dresses. It's up on Tested yt channel.
Character is so good
Perfect interpretation of the book.

I was pretty disappointed in how they handled the action scene where Prax has the gun and accidentally starts the fight. That section of the book was awesome.
Here it was just like ehhh boom wham its done =\
Probably the most memorable action set piece of the second book other than the section with
Kind of a shame because I was really excited to see how they translated it to the screen.

It helps that the authors are apart of the shows writing team. Going by the interviews with Adam Savage they get quite a bit of input into how the show looks and feels along with its direction.
While the last couple of books have been starting to drag a bit, you gotta admire their hustle. Doing the TV shows and still popping those books out faster than greased lightning.
At this rate they may finish the series before GRRM gets Winds out >.>
?
He goes through this same character arc in the second book.
I just hope that their book writing schedule will not be too much affected.

I'm on mobile and posting GIFs from Tumblr is kind of ass, but Bobbie eating cucumber sandwiches is my everything.
"I'm not a fragile flower"
*proceeds to demolish sandwich tray in glee*
Also, that Bobbie+Cotyar security detail is going to fuck shit up, isn't?

Poor Amos, he looked so resigned to his fate when the torpedo was coming in, he was probably just glad he would die doing something good. Between that and Bobbie being all smug 'heh, look at them being punished by gravity for a change' during launch there was good Acting While Trapped Into A Seat going on.

Also forgot a huge reveal in this episode that everyones glossed over: Cotyar (her spy aide) was directly responsible for Avasarala's son dying. WHOAH. Thats heavy man - he feels a huge debt to her which pretty much guarantees he will ALWAYS be loyal to her, and she works with him just fine and still blames herself for her son's death, not him.

Heres the Interview if anyone is interested that hasn't seen it yet. It's only 5 minutes long and touches just about everything about their process to writing the books and working on the show
