I agree, Pudgey. The beard is hot. Lol.

David Seeholzer

I am impressed by Pudgey's initial insights just as the episode ends. There's a lot going on and it would be boring if it was too easy to know what all the connections are, but Pudgey is definitely picking up on some key things. And I bet she is good at math, too.

Fantastic episode. Glad you are getting to see Miller again. This protomolecule has gone beyond boundaries.

Etta Eskridge

Pudgey you are on fire! I love this episode so much and there are great things to come but the Roci escaping into the ring on Miller's say so is just pure gold. Can't wait for more!!

Paul

Great reaction! I'm giddy for what comes next, you guys are asking a lot of good questions, but you still have no idea what's coming up. Just one quick note, at this point Avasarala doesn't even know about Holden's fake OPA message, since the transmission delay from the ring to Earth is almost 3 hours (the ring is near Uranus, 3 billion kilometers from Earth).

I have been waiting for this episode ever since Spartan started complaining about missing Miller and wanting Miller back 😂 This is one of my top favorite episodes of the whole show just because of those last 10 minutes or so when everything just goes batshit crazy! So much happens in so little time but in that time we get so much info and plot development and character development, ahhh I just love it!! I love the moment between Amos and Holden and the unwavering trust that has been built over the last 3 seasons. It takes A LOT of trust to follow the directions of a man who is seeing a ghost who is telling you to go into what they all have been shown is a ring of blood splattering death. Can’t wait for the next ones!!

And now enters the time where the Protomolecule is about to flip both your heads right upside down fooling around with the ring! Can't wait to see how you two deal with the crew dealing with this whole new deal. As you know, when you've seen crazy...The Expanse is going to one up it in ways you can never predict!

"Your brain just exploded, I have grey matter all over me." Great line.

You guys are certainly not the first reactors to misinterpret Amos' exclamation of "Snake Eyes," but misinterpret it you did. The cameraman's name is not snake eyes, it's Cohen - they haven't said that, but that's his name, and "snake eyes" is not his nickname (it would be a pretty cruel nickname for a blind guy, if you think about it). "Snake Eyes" is a reference to Craps, the dice game. When you roll a two in Craps, you immediately lose. In the lingo of the game, rolling two is nicknamed "snake eyes" because the two dots, one on each die, resemble very small eyes, and you basically are "bitten" by that roll. So when Amos said "Snake Eyes," he wasn't accusing anyone of anything, he was basically just saying "we're out of luck - we lose, and we have no rolls of the dice left." Whether Amos (or anyone else) will realize that Cohen sabotaged the ship remains to be seen, but right now, all he knows is that they're screwed, and that's all he meant by that. And Pudgey did theorize about speed being the reason Maneo (Belter kid) was "splatted" by the Ring, and she also understood what Miller was saying when he said if you "go into a room too fast .. the room eats you." Which puts her in the top 5% or so of reactors; I've only seen one other person "decode" Miller's remark that quickly, so well done, Pudgey!

This episode goes from 0 to 100 so fast! Love the cool-as-hell shot of Miller looking up from under his hat just before he says his final line. And I LOVE Amos's reactions to Holden asking him to trust him. What a great episode!

Sheri

Came here to say this. Although, it occurs to me that it also makes a good nickname for a blind guy lol.

What’s with the hat?….

michael j hill

Melba and Ashford two favorite characters from this series!!!

michael j hill

“Snake eyes” is not a reference to the blind guy. It’s a reference to playing dice. Amos is saying they’re fucked when he says snake eyes.

This is not a spoiler as it wont be mentioned again in the series, but Dresden explained things maybe to quickly. The Protomolecule/Phoebe was sent to hijack the early life on earth when it was only a boiling rock with biomass on the surface, eons ago. The process was not succesfull as the delivery system/Phoeby was caught by the gravity of Saturn, so it didnt reach its destination which was originally Earth. That is why Dresden says "they have already fired the first shot", because it was ment for Earth.

I've been looking forward to this reaction since the moment y'all started talking about how much you miss Miller

Golladan

Holden has been working with the OPA for over a year as a defense contractor. And given his past broadcasts this broadcast wouldn't be too farfetched for him.

Lindsay Mathieson

Hard to keep quiet last episode, but major props to Pudgey who theorised you needed to go slowly into the Ring! one of the very few reactors to guess that ahead of time.
