I just joined for The Expanse! I really love your reactions. Fun, smart, engaged 😁

And we are off to the races... Curious to see if you figure it out. "It feels like it is escalating" he said :) If only you knew.

Yep. We are escalating off the Escalator into Escalation Land. ...and I got tickets.

I like that Draper is going to be part of the story now.

I was skeptical going into season 1, and even after season 1. But this episode? It got me. I'm hooked. The episode did a great job of underscoring the kind of fanaticism you can find in the Marine Corps. The rank and file can get very deep into the Kool Aid.

I seem to have a different copy than what you guys are watching. Yours is longer and has more or extended scenes. The duration of mine is 43:26, but that's including the "Previously On..." which I skip 'cause you guys do.

We're watching the version on prime video. Our duration is 47:59, and we don't skip the 'Previously On' because our version doesn't have it. I think the physical media copies might be slightly different though if that's what you're watching.

Yeah the Martian Marines they introduced are super intense! An interesting foil to our main group of characters.

Most likely you are seeing the issue that is common with reactions to "The Expanse". For the episodes before the show changed companies, you have the issue with the intro section. But, some episodes also manifest issues with the spots where there were commercial breaks while the episodes were still on SyFy and the space left when the commercials were removed for the DVD is different from the space left when Amazon produced their streaming copies. Eventually (S4?) when Amazon picked up the show after SyFy cancelled it, all these issues should go away.

Good reaction and nice catch on what was going down with the whole Phoebe deal. Many don't catch how all parties got what they wanted in a roundabout way. Errinwright got Phoebe taken off the table like he had discussed with Mao. Mars blew it up to prevent the UN from gaining control. MCRN Lt. Sutton lived to see another day without an outright war with earth. Finally, Chrisjen and Admiral Souther talked the hawks down from going into full blown escalation over Phoebe.

There were actually added scenes they were watching while I had to pause my version and wait for the scene to be over to re-sync. I can't be completely sure what the scene was, because it was blurry, but it was with Crisjen and someone else, outside. Because Chandra said she likes him, I thought it might be her spy, whose name I'm blanking on right now. Begins with a "C", I think. The timing of the commercial breaks is what happens with the Buffy reactions, but that's not that bad. It's when a show has extra scenes or scenes missing (which, apparently, my copy has) where there's a problem 'cause they're reacting to stuff that I'm not seeing. They've confirmed the different running time, so I'll look for another version from Amazon.

Thadman

Yep, found the Amazon one and it had the scene with Cotyar that mine didn't. Weird, since that's the introduction to him. Maybe they plugged that scene into a later episode or something in the copies I have (had, since I got rid of those now)? Anyway, I've got the correct copies now, so there shouldn't be an issue. At least not for the rest of this season.

Great reaction and start to Season 2! Yes, you got it that Chrisjen is playing a part. At the end of last season, she told her husband she has to play the part of the old woman locked on yesterday's game. She didn't want to concur, but she felt she had to at that moment.

Thank you!
