Another good reaction Meg. Thanks! The thing that landed on Venus was just the probe. No one was on it. They had two left and they combined the shielding from one with the other one to make it last long enough to get a few seconds on the surface.

I think it's interesting how we trust different factions in the show more if they've got a solid character backing them up. We hate Mars for being just the absolute worst here, but we're pretty chill with Earth because they've got Chrisjen kicking arse in all the political scenes. Not saying that it's a bad thing either, I love it, but I do wonder what would happen if we had a character as cool as Chrisjen on the Martian side, and where our sympathies as viewers would lie then.

It would definitely give a different perspective but we need something to hate lol

"Why did they take children?" It was briefly mentioned by Prax a few episodes ago, but her illness is effectively a prematurely collapsed immune system (her daily medicine is antibiotics/immune boosters). While your immune system has components that are designed to specifically attack foreign bodies, it also employs "destructive" means similar to artillery that damage healthy cells just as good as bad ones. Since many diseases actually kill you by having the immune system do enough damage trying to fight it that it destroys your body in the process, a child that has young healthy cells but no way to respond to foreign invaders would be a playground for the protomolecule.

"When can I read the books?" * Season 1 covered the first half of Leviathan Wakes, and included the short story "The Butcher of Anderson Station" * Season 2 covered the rest of Leviathan Wakes (ending with ep 5) and the first half of Caliban's War, and covered the short story "Drive" (the flashback to Sol Epstein) * Season 3 finishes Caliban's War with episode 6 and completes the entirety of Abaddon's Gate * Season 4 is the entirety of Cibola Burn and adapts the short story "Gods of Risk" into the main plot * Season 5 is the entirety of Nemesis Games and includes brief moments of a side arc that is covered in the novella "The Vital Abyss", and also references back story that is further fleshed out in "The Churn", which you are probably safe to read before or after episode 2, depending on how curious you are about a particular character's backstory. * Season 6 is the entirety of Babylon's Ashes and includes the short story "Strange Dogs" which happens somewhat concurrently. Persepolis Rising, Tiamat's Wrath, Leviathan Falls, and the novellas "Auberon" and "Sins of our Fathers" are not yet made. (We're still holding out hope once Amazon loses the rights!) The Last Flight of the Cassandra is a short story written for the Expanse tabletop RPG that takes place during the events of Leviathan Wakes but does not directly interact with that storyline. Feel free to read it if you can get to it!

The one issue with Alex's gravity assist stunt is that the moons of Jupiter are so far apart that in reality it would have taken Alex and the Rocinante months to get down to Ganymede like that. The tv crew realized that it was inaccurate, but they had already done the cgi modeling and rendering at that point so there was no redoing the scene. Also Meg, on a completely unrelated note, I saw the Halo trailer reaction on your other channel, that was pretty awesome, those games were so good, and the music, I still listen to some of those songs. I think you would really like that series.

You're fine starting book 2 now, and also the novellas "Drive" and "Butcher of Anderson Station. Depends on how fast u read, or course. I'd love to see u do a review of Book 1.
