Ah, finally ^^ I already feared you dropped it for The X-Files (I can live with both quite happily btw) ^^

Worf and Riker Ride Again

Yeah agreed, this episode is mostly exposition which could have been done better. Season 4 does indeed look fantastic, not sure if it’s also because being on a planet you have natural lighting, which we’ve barely seen so far in this show.

I was beginning to wonder! Now for episode two!!! \o/

I don't recall if anyone has mentioned this yet, but "Rocinante" was the name of Don Quixote's horse.

About the transition from SyFy to Amazon... I'm pretty sure that they put seasons 1-3 on Amazon before season 4 premiered, so if you hadn't seen it yet, you could binge watch it on Amazon in time for season 4. That's what my wife and I did, as we hadn't seen it on SyFy and got interested after hearing that Amazon picked it up and the hype surrounding that.

T'was filmed in a quarry in Vancouver, BC Canada Supposedly same/similar budget, but they did have access to the Amazon server farms for rendering

Woohoo! A lot of staging in this episode for sure, the whole thing grips me as long as I'm hanging out with my crew. My favorite moment is subtle, towards the end as they're debarking the Rocinante and Naomi is taking her first steps on a planet in her life, but stumbles, Holden holds back Amos from helping her, knowing she'd want to help herself first. Then gives her a big smile. Nothing flashy, but it's gooey tender.

It was filmed in a quarry near Toronto; the rest of the show was filmed here.

I know I've said it before but I'll say it again, you guys are missing out watching the blu ray over the 4k with HDR stream it looks SO much better (look I love physical media but the blu ray is straight up inferior here.) The HDR makes SUCH a huge improvement on how this show looks especially in these last three seasons This is a show that REALLY was shot to take advantage of HDR. I know you guys won't change but...you should.

Alright, finally getting around to watching this. I said I would, just got busy. Since I know at this point you've watched about half the season and haven't been terribly impressed, yeah this season does take some time to get going. The same way there were plots that spanned the first 3 seasons, the last 3 are something of a set as well. A second chapter of the show if you will. It's been years so it all kind of blends together, but there's definitely great stuff in the latter half. It just kind of feels like when the show was bought by amazon it hit a stop sign and had to build up momentum again.....from the bottom of a steep hill. Give it time. Of course that all depends on whether S5 gets picked. I guess the biggest concern about letting people through was the possibility of waking up the protomolecule or something worse, but arguing that they can't go because they might get killed isn't much of a reason when you're the ones shooting them down. Burn Gorman is always great at playing the punchable asshole though. He was a fun addition to the season.

That part of the show, where the aspect ratio changes, is simply spectacular. I feel like the significance of it was lost on the guys...but can you imagine being a Belter, having NEVER looked up the sky. Having NEVER been out in the open. Having NEVER walked over a landscape of any sort. Having NEVER simply breathed the air. Naomi has lived her whole life inside of artificial environments...a series of caves carved out of asteroids, ship interiors, entirely man made spaces where every surface, every breath, every drop of water is entirely unnatural. She has never stared at a sunset, or the clouds, or watched a stream gurgle over the rocks. She show is cognizant of this, and takes special care to cinematically let her experience for the first time in her life, something truly unimaginable. The way she stumbles, and Holden holds the others back, to let her get her own feet and have her own experience. Beautiful. And then we get to watch our crew walk over a landscape that is at once familiar and also alien while an AMAZING musical score plays. This is some of the finest science fiction put to screen, not just visually and audibly, but conceptually. The sheer magnitude of what Noami is experiencing, and by extension how much we all take it for granted, is wonderfully realized by the showrunners. In probably 200 or 300 hours of TA content I've sat through, this is the first time I've ever muted the guys. I just couldn't stand to see something so perfect talked over and snarked over. This sequence is a really good demonstration of the fact that just because its not a couple of characters standing there saying words to each other....*doesn't mean it doesn't matter*. Its a visual medium. What was happening was beautiful, and dialogue would have only diminished it.

Aaron Wells

Yes! That scene was simply perfect.

Matthew Langley

I mean that commentary when the episode ended... saying that everything started where it ended, well except for Bobbie is no longer a marine and is doing labor work, Holden is on Earth for the first time in the show, Ashford is now killing other belters policing the Ring for the inners, etc etc... lol. I like watching your reactions but sometimes you can be contrary to just be contrary it seems. After 3 seasons of watching your reactions there's this pattern of you missing a LOT, then mocking the show for now showing or doing something it did in fact do but you just missed. being generous you have about a 50/50 rate of recognizing that eventually and admitting it but you never seem to learn that maybe you shouldn't be overconfident that you didn't miss important things when you are constantly missing important things. Maybe learn at some point to be a bit less cynical and give a bit more benefit of the doubt, especially when a show has proven to often be on point. I mean you guys are younger than me and way more cynical lol, I mean relax a bit and stop trying to invent problems with a show just so you can pick something apart. As far as how the show looks, they made an amazing creative choice to use anamorphic lenses for the planet content vs standard spherical lenses for the space content. To be clear the show is and has always been filmed with top notch equipment like lenses, the different lenses just give a different feel. A lot of classic cinema (and still some of the best modern cinema and tv even) are filmed on anamorphic lenses, so there are aspects to that "look" that make it feel more cinematic, due to familiarity. Anamorphic can add some extra character like edge distortion, different shaped bokeh, different textures etc. It's not about better or worse though, just different.

Catching up with these two since they spread out the show and I didn't want to wait weeks between episodes. I'm glad you mentioned this because this was something done up to this point with these two and it was unfortunate to see (think I may have even offered the criticism to them earlier on). Same thing with Drummer's leg situation. They criticized as a flawed writing move when in reality it would have made zero sense for Drummer to stay with mechanical legs. That's just one example of not catching the context of this verse and then criticizing something in it.

Shawn Anomaly

TBF it would have made zero sense for Drummer to stay with mechanical legs in this verse. Not sure if it was missed or just not remembered but Drummer was already regrowing her spine after the incident. The mechanical legs were always just a stop gap because Drummer was not interested in just laying around in the situation and found a temporary solution on the fly. This episode taking place nearly a year after those events just shows that the procedure had now progressed along enough to have no need for the legs.
