Hopefully some constructive feedback In relation to struggling with names etc. I feel like the majority of reaction channels I follow have something in front of them to write notes on while they are watching, which they can then refer back to. If you are following multiple shows with large casts and multi season arcs it seems essential to get your head around things. Even if you aren't doing notes per episode just a single page cheat sheet like the one TM2 has above is very helpful.

Glad that you're getting one of the major theme's in The Expanse - there really aren't many (if any) bad guys, most of the people are trying to do the right thing as they see it and its really dependent on the context of where they come from. Having said that - Belters really are getting screwed over by Mars and Earth.

About the Mateo, Diogo, and Martian interactions. They didn't take his water, that was alcohol. Mateo was drinking and flying, which is why they denied his passage through the restricted zone. Also, the scene where Mateo had something buzzing inside his helmet, that was indeed a loose wire. He removed his face mask and exposed himself to space to fix it. The purpose of that scene is to demonstrate that it's possible to survive in space without your suit, relatively unharmed, for a short amount of time. Second also, he wasn't freezing in his suit. That was condensation since he was using an old shitty suit with bad temperature regulation. It's actually a lot harder to cool down in space than it is to warm up, since there is no where for the heat to go. You can also see this phenomena happening back in E2 when life support and environmental controls on the Knight were failing just before Holden and crew got rescued. Everyone was sweating and water was dripping from everything.

hehe it sure is

I also think the actress who plays Naomi may have been working out the pronunciation in the first few episodes. She’s from London but has to speak with a Belter accent, which to me sounds closest to South African. Tough job to do. And nothing against the actress, in one of the later seasons she delivers one of the most impressive performance of anyone in any film or show I’ve ever seen. IYKYK

I'm always left in awe at the size of the Navoo ship being built (much of what you see of Tycho Station in this episode is that unfinished ship's hull under construction). Such a behemoth.

Jared Harris is a world-class actor, no doubt about that. He was fantastic in Sherlock Holmes too.

Loving the watch alongs!! Last few eps since the Donnager battle have been a lot of breadcrumbs and intrigue and character building…. Pretty soon things are gonna start to go nuts!! This episode the speech by Dawes about his sister was just absolutely heartbreaking. Master class.

Spartan is absolutely right, Holden is Space John Snow! I wonder who that would make Naomi, Amos and Alex? 😁 And all the names - yah, don't think I started getting them straight until my 2nd watch through, you guys are doing great. Loved the reaction, really enjoying re-watching the show with you guys. First time I've ever bothered syncing up full re-watches rather than waiting for an edit. And damn, you are picking up on so much, I feel embarrassed how much I missed first time around in comparison. Your theories on characters and plots are pretty good - for the information you have so far 😁

Finally watched the episode with you guys! Just wanted to say, I love that Pudgey picked up on how Dawes wasn’t showing his full hand with Miller from the beginning. She has a good understanding of the character! Also, I love so much the scene with Holden confessing to the crew about what he did. It really does show that he trusts them and respects them. And all of them just getting a chance to take a breather was so nice to see as well! Character building and relationship building among said characters is one of my favorite parts of the show!

Cody Taylor

Miller is in love with the idea of Julie Mao. He has a parasocial relationship with her. After learning so much about her in his investigation he wants to do right by her and save her.

John Neiberger

Amos. It's pronounced AY - mus. The AY -MOS you're hearing is just the accent of some of these characters. I love your Expanse reactions! I'm so excited to be watching this again with you.

Joan Monroe

I've never met an Amos, but here in the US, there's a brand of cookies called Famous Amos, so that's how I've always pronounced it. I don't really think there's a right or wrong way, though.

This is such a nice little reference sheet!

You guys are following well, there are a lot of names. Some main locations (no spoilers) Phoebe: Research Station (unseen in show so far) Ceres: Modified asteroid where Miller is investigating (UN/Star Helix Control...but maybe OPA actually) Tycho Station: Where Fred Johnson is building the Mormon world ship (OPA Control) Earth/Luna: Where Aversarala and Errinwright are (UN control) Mars: Unseen so far in show (MCRN control) Anderson Station: Seen in flashback, destroyed by Fred Johnson...and no relation to Anderson Dawes Ships Canterbury: Destroyed by unknown stealth ships Knight: Canterbury Escape pod, presumably destroyed on Donnager Donnager: MCRN flagship - destroyed by unknown stealth ships Rocinante: MCRN Frigate - now captained by Holden and company Scopuli: OPA chartered black ops hauler. Where Julie Mao was last seen Nauvoo: Mormon Ship, biggest ever built, under construction at Tycho Station Factions (known so far) United Nations: Earth and Luna (Aversarala, Errinwright ) Mars Congressional Republic: Mars Outer Planet Alliance: The Belt (Dawes, Johnson) Star Helix: Ceres security force It gets easier...eventually :P

We all look forward to this day, praise to The Expanse day!

Sheri

Yay, Expanse day! You're both locked in and following along really well. I think the pronunciation of Amos is really just the difference between the American and British accents of the actors. And I like Spartan's comparison of Holden and Jon Snow... reluctant and imperfect leaders, just trying to do the right thing.

Expanse day!! One of my favorite days of the week!

Golladan

In case you didn't recognize him, that kid Diogo that his uncle left floating in space is the kid that Miller caught stealing water earlier in the season. Also.... being left floating in space... That's gotta be so stressful. I'd die. Anderson Dawes has nothing to do with Anderson station. Even in this episode he said he was from a dirt-poor family of rock hoppers.

Forrest

Exactly how I am. I see the notification, click on it, and soon as I see Spartan & Pudgey drop a new Expanse episode I'm like, "ooooh a new episode of the Expanse, yesss..." lol
