Hello All!   

Miller cracked the case to only discover that his boss couldn't be trusted!! Holden meets Fred face to face, and they make a deal, but everyone is on edge, including me! The group also knows what Holden did re the distress call and Amos is hurt that Naomi didn't confide in him. Looks like they're all closer than ever though now as they set off on their mission.

Much love

Dakara x

When Dawes said Miller is in love with Julie Mao, I understood it more as him being in love with his idea of her, a hopeful and selfless idealist (the exact opposite of himself), and not that they had a relationship or even met each other before. But I could be wrong, we'll see... Jared Harris absolutely killed it in this episode. That whole scene when he's talking about his sister, so good!

Another solid reaction! My own reading of Miller's situation is that he's become infatuated with Julie, or at least with the idea of her. Dawes said he was regarded as the "station joke" but for whatever reason this case has woken Miller up and given him something or someone to believe in. Getting snaked by his boss was a nice twist, I'm sure I didn't see that coming first time around! Holden and the rest of the crew seem to have formed their own little family, they've been through some things together and now they have their own ship and are off on a mission for Fred Johnson. We also get to learn a bit more about them in this episode. Amos mentioned about growing up in bars and brothels so you can only imagine the kind of childhood he must have had. It's all very political as you say. The main players so far are Johnson, Dawes and (at the United Nations on Earth) Avasarala, all of whom seem to have their own agendas, and we don't yet know who we can trust.

I'm probably a bit slow, but I had no idea until recently that Jared Harris is the son of Richard Harris!

the thing is, telling the others that he logged that distress call anytime before now wouldn't've done any good. tempers were still way too high, it would've been a disaster. if he had mentioned it when they were confined to the ship before reaching tycho, it likely would've exacerbated it. at least now they have immediate space and the option to walk away if they're inclined. it sucks, but i think it's genuinely the best and smartest time to lay that out and not any sooner it was martians (MCRN) that were pushing around and diogo and his uncle. martians and earthers may see themselves as polar opposites but they treat belters (and each other) exactly the same way

This show just gets better with each episode. Miller has discovered his link to whatever is going on, all the way to guessing that some other power is involved, and they are willing to start a war to keep their existence secret. Finding out that his boss is somehow involved would be a severe blow. Who will he be able to trust? I think he might keep his partner and his ex(?) out of the loop might be his next play. The less they know about all of this, the safer they'll be. The Rosinante crew was still on Tyco station is the bar scene. In a lot of sci fi shows and books space stations double and triple as places of commerce as well as ship building. The interactions between them were written as very natural. We learn that Amos used to be a joy-boy, their pilot is obsessed with flying, and that Naomi has a secret(?). The hold that Miller was thrown into with the oxygen venting out was an air lock. In space operas it's the standard way to eliminate people. Also that ship that was hauling stone? The uncle was distressed about the charges not going off because he was planning to use them as a primitive sort of mass driver(Rail gun). I'm guessing that the guy that Johnson wants picked up is the lead scientist that Miller saw on the drive.

Thanks Dakara - always excited to see a new episode uploaded. This show has a lot of references to chivalric romance. Holden loves the story of Don Quixote and is like the pure knight of the old tales. Miller is more like the tarnished knights of Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler. Julie Mao is interesting because she is part damsel in distress, possibly a femme fatale, but also on her own knightly quest. I think Miller loves what she represents for him - a purity of purpose that he has long lost. Her being young and beautiful doesn't hurt of course. The WTF moment for me in this episode was Uncle Mateo opening his helmet in deep space. Apparently that is actually possible.

Hi Dakara! The Expanse is my favorite sci-fi show of the 21st century. I truly believe you are going to continue to enjoy watching it. At the beginning there are many story threads to follow, and I know it's daunting to keep track of everything. The show runners do a good job however of building the world through these stories and characters overtime. By the end of the first season, so long as you keep paying attention most everything will begin to make sense. The side story with the uncle is probably one of my least favorite of the show. Mostly because I can't stand the nephew. The MCRN (The Martian Navy) were the ones who pushed the uncle into getting drunk and attempting to chuck the asteroid at their ship. This was just another event that will push the solar system closer to war, but don't worry this storyline isn't finished, and it ties together with the rest, just be patient. Fred Johnson is one of my favorite characters in the show. He's smart and capable of reading a situation like when he called Holden's bluff at the beginning of the episode. Fred Johnson clearly has his own motives for helping Holden and his crew, but he's not a heartless killer. Fred Johnson doesn't deserve forgiveness for his crimes, but characters who live to regret decisions like his are fascinating to follow. For context Fred Johnson has been helping the Mormons create a massive ship larger than any before. The ship will be capable of traveling to another solar system even if it takes them a hundred years to get there. This will also tie in more later. I look forward to watching more with you!

My reaction to seeing a new Expanse post, is exactly like the thumbnail of yourself, on the latest Fringe reaction, just above this one. *Post watch* Dakrya, threatening to break out two weeks in a row? We're in for good times people. Not trying to revel in schadenfreude. Haha. But your empathy is one of the things I love about you and what it lends to these reactions.
