Hello All!   

This father and daughter story broke my heart, so very tragic...I think they proved their point with how severe the punishments can be for go against their governments! Miller is becoming one of my favs, he's such a layered character and one that I always wanna get to know more of. The group have now realised that Holden's face is plastered all over Ceres and they've been cornered into going for help in an unlikely place!

Much love

Dakara x

Another good reaction - thanks Dakara. The destruction of Anderson Station was brutal. I've seen someone else point out that the puzzle the little girl was doing should have been very simple for a child of her age. Her getting it wrong indicated the brain damage caused by lack of oxygen. I'm always impressed by the small details on this show.

The full intro should have played in episode 1, strange you didn't see it. Anyway, it should return from episode 9. Alex's suggestion for the new ship name, Screaming Firehawk, became the name of the fans who banded together to save the show when SyFy cancelled it after season 3. Sort of like Browncoats for Firefly, it's the Screaming Firehawks for The Expanse. Thankfully they were successful, and got Amazon to pick it up for seasons 4-6.

that short little backstory of fred johnson and anderson station is surprisingly devastating considering how little screen time it got that little mouse that miller randomly took apart was the robotic hamster in julie's apartment. you've taken in a lot on information since last seeing that hamster so it's understandable that it slipped your mind, it just stuck out to me because it reminds me of those robo pets from the 90s-early 2000s lol

"Tech Noir" is a nice little reference to The Terminator. When Miller saw the half built robot mouse in the shop he remembered the one we saw in Julie's apartment a few episodes ago, and that's why he goes back for another look. The early episodes had a lot of story to set up but you might find that it settles down a bit now. I've just finished a rewatch of the whole show and I'm excited for the rest of your journey, there's so much character growth for you to look forward to. You're doing just fine!

Great reaction. There is a lot of information to digest, but it seems to be slowly ebbing. We're getting to the point were the story can grow a little faster. Miller doesn't want to see his partner get played, but it looks like a real relationship has developed between Havelock and Michio(?). Miller seems to be on to the fact that his investigation, and the destructions of the Canterbury, seem linked. Fred Johnson was known as the Butcher 11 years ago, and Naomi seems to know. Rather convenient. There's more going on with this little(?) mystery than meets the eye.

I may be able to explain why some feel a bit lost when starting this show, from a different perspective. A lot of shows seem to care more about hooking the audience in the first 5-10 min of an episode and 1-2 episodes of a season than the quality of the storytelling. They tell the audience everything they can up front before they get bored and click off to find something different. The audience then knows more of the story, sooner, than the characters on screen. The characters seem to be playing catch-up to the audience the entire show. The Expanse tells the story very differently. The audience is told almost nothing up front. We learn the story as the characters do in real time. So we get to feel more like one of the characters in the show ourselves. We are a part of Holden's crew while they are on screen... We are a detective when Miller in on screen. We are a UN politician, a Mars military member etc etc. I love this type of storytelling. It is so much more of an IMMERSIVE experience imo. The other shows that tell everything up front makes me feel like I was a bit robbed of the journey I could have had learning it in real time.

Well said AC10! The Expanse progresses, never leaving the audience feeling like they are owed anything. It feels incredibly organic. The camaraderie one inevitably builds with the characters is second to none. Too many shows tend to show their hands extremely early, which tends to elevate expectations, to levels that can truly never be met. Often leading to garbled messes at the end. Here though, the intricate, delicate and laboured threads of storytelling on this show, weave their way to some of the best pay offs I've ever experienced. Television magic.

The hand terminal Miller threw into the dumpster, was one Anderson Dawes handed him, that contained the OPA safe house location of Filat Kothari(the belter who harpooned Havelock). As you've pointed out, Miller is seemingly more focused and concerned about finding out what's happened to Julie. We all are! Lol.

Azraelov

the dad/daughter scene broke me down... hard. not the only one to notice these magnificent arms in shows Dak! more motivation to keep me going to the gym like 6 times a week.... one day these arms will be mine! 😂 great reaction as always ❤️

AC10

I had to look it up. Been too long since I watched season 1. A version of the long pretty 😍 intro was the immediate start of episode 1. I guess it was edited out of the pilot reaction. She probably saw it. It doesn't return till the end of the season.. 😔 But then I think it stays forever!! And changes over time. (It's so freakin pretty in 4k).

AC10

Yeppers... Lotta world(s) to build, lotta characters but it's starting to transition into the Go Baby GO!!! story mode. 😬

AC10

I've probably lost half my muscle from highschool college days...... Let's not think about it.

Ian

Loved the name they chose for the ship the Rocinante just fits perfectly 🔥 the belter accent is a right one to get used to but you're getting there and probably be talking like them in your reactions in no time dak 😀 . The father daughter floating lifeless in space was brutal holy moly . Enjoyed your reaction as always cheers dak 🔥

Isak Haugerud

Yeah, the way it changes over time reminded me of the Game of Thrones intro. Showing new locations as the story progresses, a nice touch. The lyrics for the song are in my language, Norwegian (well sort of, they don't really make any sense). The artist doesn't speak Norwegian, but used the words because she thought they sounded nice.

"Rocinante" was the name Miguel de Cervantes gave the horse rode by the hero in his novel "Don Quixote".

Just to point out that EVERYONE knows Fred Johnson as The Butcher of Anderson Station. Not just Naomi. She just has a more personal feeling about it, and him, because she’s a belter. It’s her people that were murdered. Whereas the rest of the crew are from Earth and Mars and don’t really feel bad about what he did. Even Holden, who you think would. Naomi - “we all know what he’s capable of”. Holden- “that was like 10 years ago. People change.” It’s a cold line from the self righteous Holden. Naomi could have had family on that station. He has no idea.

Robert

People do change over time. They are also used by others from time to time. In the military central command will sometimes make wrong or unpopular decisions, As a a result they will "pin" responsibility for that act on someone else, effectively covering up the "incident". Fred Johnson was likely a scapegoat for the attack. But no one will ever really know.

Bless the Girl Kissers

I was just pointing out that you saying that only Naomi knew him as The Butcher 11 years ago was “convenient” was not right. That everyone knew him as that. She was just the only one who seemed troubled by trusting him. For good reason, considering where she comes from and what that name means. Holden just seemed to brush past it, which is very unlike him.
