Thank you for making these videos possible with your Patreon support! As with every previous episode, this one blew Honey and Tori's mind and left them with even more questions and an immense desire to watch more. Luckily, it was the first reaction in the filming session, so they got to watch more immediately. We, unfortunately, will have to wait until next week to see the next video. ;)

This was the episode that cemented Amos as my favorite character of the series. He is that guy. The hybrid that Bobbi was fighting was Katoa. I don’t know why it didn’t kill her when it had a chance. If someone else can explain it, then all three of us will know.

Highly recommend a rewatch, it is not possible to fully grasp everything in this series on one watch through. You can definitely get the basic gist but the series becomes even more beautiful/brilliant when you catch the things you didn't the first time. This is why I watch nearly every reactor that has done this show! Even after I'm assuming 70+ reaction channels I'm STILL learning things that I didn't catch on my own. It just solidifies my thoughts that these guys really thought this series through at another level from typical tv. As you two know by now, the Protomolecule adventure goes to another level. Can't wait til next time!

Update: There is some sort of a glitch happening where Patreon is auto-hiding comments as "harmful to the community" on this reaction and not letting us unhide them. So if you don't see your comment, it's likely because of that. Unless you were a doodiehead and we had to delete your comment. In that case, it's on you... No doodieheads so far today, though...

It's never explicitly stated what proto-Katoa was looking at, or thinking about, or distracted by, or whatever that was. But the prevailing theory among most of the fandom is that at that moment, he/it realized that "the work" on Venus was done (the work being the pimple/jellyfish/squid thing that we saw emerging from Venus at the end of the episode). We know that this work was the protomolecule's goal, it's purpose. So if the work was complete, then proto-Katoa might, despite Strickland's team's attempt to make him into a killing machine, feel no need to proceed with attacking Bobbie. Something like that, anyway.

Another point of frequent confusion -- and Tori and Honey are not alone in this by any means -- is that the hybrids that were all launched by evil Admiral Nguyen were almost certainly not the kids that we followed this season. The protomolecule hybrid project occurred in at least two phases. The hybrid that attacked Bobbie's team on Ganymede and the one that caused Holden to go Full Ahab in pursuing (and that eventually got onto the Roci), those were both version 1 hybrids, which had that explosive "failsafe regulator" implanted in them. We don't know what kind of people were used to create these; we don't even know if people were involved at all. Mei, Katoa, and the other children in their group were part of the second phase of hybrid development. As Strickland explained to Mao, the genetic mutation these kids all had allowed them to (theoretically) control the hybrids better, without needing to plant explosives in their chests. But I think Katoa was pretty much the first fully successful Version 2 hybrid. The others up to that point (we don't know how many) had died. So all of the pods launched at the beginning of the episode, those all contained the old version 1 hybrids, which can do a lot of damage but are apparently hard to control. The kids we met (except for Katoa) had not yet been "hybridized," though Mei got pretty close.

That is unfortunate, it looks like mine was one of those comments and it was a large comment. In it I described the Katoa deal and some other details that I can't remember though.

So ends book 2 of the Expanse, I know you guys are further ahead, but still big deal. I like that when Jules-Pierre Mao is on his knees in front of Chrisjen, Chrisjen is wearing the flightsuit of Julie Mao, daughter of Jules-Pierre. Jules-Pierre is probably thinking, "Why are you wearing my daughters racing jumpsuit?" To answer your question the Roci crew got more ammo for the ship in the episode "Reload" but the Roci's guns fire so fast they run out of ammo super fast when firing on full auto. CIC just means "Combat Information Center" it's just the command center of a warship.

A similar thing happened to me on a different reaction channel and I was really confused because I was just commenting on what happened in an episode. Now it makes sense. I blame AI.
