So many particulars. So many questions.
I loved whatsisfaces breakdown of his prime motivations 'three kinds of people in this world, those you fight, those you follow and those you protect'This is coming on very nicely isn't it?
That scene where Holden and Naomi come clean could have been straight out of firefly

Fantastic news
Yeah, regular TV ratings haven't been great, but the audience for this sort of TV doesn't watch "TV" any more.
Yes i would like to support this series somehow, the disparity between releases means that I have to watch it through dubious means, yet when I go to the channels that I should be able to purchase the series through, I am not allowed to buy it due to region bias.
How do I support the makers without giving the bullshit middle man their cut, the best?

Another cracking episode. The bit on the refugee ship:So cold. Fred's no.2: So cool. Amos' reason not to fight: So scarily detached. Dealing with centrifugal gravity upside down was neat. Dawes is believably inspiring.

There are a few points where the fiction definitely trumps the science. An example is in one episode of series 1, where
The young belter guy and his uncle are mining an asteroid. It's a wonderful portrayal of weightlessness making up and down irrelevant. Anyway, at the end, in order to fix something sparking in his helmet the older guy opens his helmet up completely.
Now it is technically possible to have your face exposed to a hard vacuum for a short time without dying or even being in pain - except that he takes a deep breath first. If I understand right, his lungs ought to have burst out through his face as soon as he popped the seal. I believe the correct thing to do when about to be caught in a hard vacuum is take a few deep breaths then expel all the air from your lungs at the last moment. That way although you may never breathe again at least you won't just explode immediately.
I may be wrong about this but I don't think I am and it's bugged me each time I've watched that otherwise excellent scene.

You're right mojo, that bugged me too. There's quite a few gravity/acceleration "hmmmm"s too, but this show still gets it more right than any other scifi TV. And on this budget, that's quite the achievement.
(In the Epstein Drive bit, when Mr. Epstein was getting into his chair, that looked like real 0g. I wonder if they used a vomet comet?)

Yeah, sometimes they get it really spot on, and the mag-boots are a great work around. But yeah, acceleration is an issue here and there, and the effects of low-G on people's bodies isn't 100% consistent. Also the way they allow sound to carry where it wouldn't, obvs for production purposes! Agree tho that they get way more right than wrong, and do better than most sci-fi.

There's a conversation between Anderson Dawes and Josephus Miller, after
Anyway, Dawes keeps so cool and the way he talks to Miller in this scene has me delighted. I'm seriously channelling this character now in awkward conversations. I love the way he talks, facial expression, body language, everything.
Miller gets fired and wanders off to the docks to confront Dawes

His face really reminds me of someone and it's been bugging me for weeks who it is

I was thinking that, but it doesn't seem to be that huge of a change, it seems implied to me that that might not be the case.
