"The Expanse" - New near-future sci-fi TV

Felt like a "getting people in the right place for upcoming events" episode. Like one of those game of thrones episodes with the supersonic horses.

Next week's should be another rollercoaster :)
 
"No, no more crime stories. I wanna know exactly what you know."

"Oh, so you wanna talk about the non-local quantum hologram, the phase-conjugate adaptive waves resonating in micro-tubules in the brain, which of course requires some closed-timeline curves and Lorentzian manifold, and - you catch up, I'll wait."

"So, a crime scene?"

"Crime scene."

That's some properly fucked up quantum physics right there :D
 
I know they are a little on the militaristic style but wtf did they thing would happen when you fire in that enviroment? idiocy

is that it till next season then? damn.

I can't tell. Apparently the first season had 10 episodes, but the second season had 13 episodes. So who knows?

They weren't giving themselves time to think. They were in a high-stress situation and thought Holden (almost called him Shepard! :facepalm: :D) was out of his mind. Easy to forget in such situations that your hammer won't work in this instance when you've been happily banging away at things with hammers for almost your entire adult life.
 
I know! At the risk of being a book wanker I think that they've got it spot on, they've had to make massive changes to the books to keep the momentum with how they've structured the TV series. In this case I've broken my golden rule and declared that the book is not better.
 
Brilliant episode!

Ashford and Drummer - true beltalowda sa sa? :thumbs:
Blood in zero g
"spin up the drum!"
Naomi and Clarissa Mao - belter in zero g vs earther in a mech fight sadly cut short by space pastor Anna with a tazer :D
Holden's thousand light-year stare at the end :cool:

Oh, it was Anna! Glad she's turned out to be useful at last.

And Holden's thing had a certain hommage to Blade Runner quality to it...
 
Anyone know what Ashford's up to? I kept thinking all that stuff about uniforms and not throwing offenders out of airlocks was merely a ploy to help manoeuvre his way into the Captain's position. But he's starting to seem genuine. Or maybe he's playing a longer game than that Melba/Clarissa who seemed single-mindedly intent on killing Holden, even in the middle of a major crisis. The guy playing Ashford is great, I'm just having trouble sussing out the character's motivations.
 
I think he might be the real deal. That last conversation he had before the unfortunate self sacrifice of whaterface. There was conviction, ego too but thats the character
spinning up the drum for everyones wounded also seems to fit this nation builder vibe
Masterly move. I was feeling quite moved with all the "ROTATE THE DRUM" stuff, and then that...
