I paused and read that blurb about Melba's endocrine...augmentation? I didn't completely understand, so if someone has the time/motivation to summarize, I would love that. 🤣

She's got an extra pair of synthetic adrenal glands implanted in the back of her head (below/behind her ears). When she tongues a specific spot on the roof of her mouth she can trigger a sudden release of adrenaline above and beyond what she naturally can produce, and this gives her a brief but incredible boost in strength and speed. The downside is that it's only good for a few seconds, and then her body crashes as it has to work extra hard reuptaking the synthetic chemicals. (Why she collapsed after killing Ren.) My guess is that normally this sort of implant is only intended for those with specific adrenal gland dysfunction, and/or black ops military work. The blocker is a chemical inhibitor that prevents the synthetic adrenaline from working/binding correctly to the intended receptors.

Amos: "Okay I'm gonna need that gun back now" when they arrest Naomi is such a funny line. I like that no one likes Diogo. He's very dislikable. It's interesting that the Mars captain immediately goes along with Ashford's plan, as you mentioned. Meanwhile the UN ship leader is pretty surprised by it. Also I think that UN leader was a low ranking officer on the ship, I think the previous UN captain, second in command, and a bunch of others were killed when the slowdown happened. The UN guy seems to have been promoted by being a surviving UN officer. I'm assuming all this because we've never seen this guy until now, and the martian captain said a lot of the UN command crew are dead.

I don't know how u guys are gonna avoid the ads on Amazon with the sync up method. Perhaps going to a pip method, which many still use, would be better.

The scene with Drummer and the Dr. is the only time you'll ever see Drummer without make-up. Cara is the one who created this sexual tension between Drummer and Naomi, which is one of the many reasons why they expanded her role.

Hoo boy, this episode is such a fantastic set-up for the finale which, in my opinion, is the best episode in the whole show (closely followed by the S6 finale and a few select gems from S5). The reason this episode is so good is because not only is it adrenaline pumping for almost the entire thing, the ending is just... wow. That's all I can say without ruining it! Also, even though this is a 9 book series, they are more written as a trilogy of trilogies, in a sense. This means that the final episode of this season concludes the ending of the first trilogy, wrapping up the story that's been set in motion since the first episode of S1. You'll finally understand why this story is called "The Expanse". As for Drummer's feelings towards Naomi, this was written by the writers to be a sort of unrequited love situation. Naomi is not interested romantically, whereas Drummer is. However, not everyone agrees that it comes off this way and could just be deep platonic love and respect between them (Funnylilgal Reacts was adamant about this) but the writers tried to make it seem obvious without making it obvious. I'm in the first camp, myself. Still, doesn't detract from the story if you view it either way in my opinion! Counting down the days until the next vid :D
