The Expanse 5x08 Full Length Reaction

As someone with an engineering(ish) background, I so enjoyed watching Naomi's problem solving approach in this episode. It's exactly the way engineers do things. Try Plan A; if it fails, try Plan B, and then Plan C and so on until you succeed. Tenacity and logic are your friends. Along with a healthy dose of patience. There are some people who call this episode boring because "too much time is spent watching Naomi crying." I couldn't disagree more. I think the tension is palpable and, I'll say it again, the engineering skills on display are top notch. And my God, Dominique Tipper's performance is just heart wrenching. Cara Gee (Drummer) too. Both of them take so much in this episode. It's like it's the official Torture Naomi and Drummer episode. And, actually, Naomi doesn't cry all that much, and what crying she does do is because she's in tremendous physical pain after her suitless space walk. I'd like to see anybody who whines about Naomi being weak in this episode live through the stuff she just lived through and not cry out in pain. The fact that she persevered and did not give up, that's strength.

as far as i understood her actions i think noaomi caclculated how much air is in that small room (she looked at the tech thech infos), to calculate how often she can do this befiore the air is out

Totally agree! This episode really showcases that she's a brilliant engineer in a way that makes it easier to distinguish from someone who works on ships and machines. A lot of the time she's doing the same job as Amos, but Amos is a mechanic, among other things... The Expanse does a great job portraying intellectual characters like Prax, Anna, Elvi, and now Naomi is more obvious. Oh, and yeah I'm an engineer too :-)

Something I didn't remember while watching this reaction, The new UN Secretary General, Paster, was actually very interesting! The way he starts out very unsure, but starts to believe in himself as he articulates his mission is very cool. Then we see him very astutely identify the moral conflict in blowing up innocent Belters, assess the members of his cabinet, and then isolate and nail down exactly who he needs to deal with. I'm still not sure about him, but he definitely won't be boring! Also very disappointed with our admiral... I remember liking the guy, but the idea that preserving the lives of civilians requires murdering additional civilians is exactly wrong. It's incorrect, and more importantly it's evil. We need more Bubbles in the world today... man I love this show

00:25: Please, keep bothering! I loved that joke! 06:11: Yes, exactly. The human mind just can't cope with big numbers on an emotional level. We know, intellectually, that millions dead is a horror, but we can't FEEL that horror. Show us one person, that loss we can comprehend, that tragedy we can feel, that horror affects us. Make that one representative, then we can do some emotional math and come close to feeling that horror multiplied, but it's still as an extension of the relative handful we can really care about. 55:17: Didn't notice until you mentioned during the reaction that you'd talk about his office, but the two gold lamps behind him are also rather phallic shaped.
