keep forgetting it's being released tuesday night not wednesday night for us east coast people.
Actually, filip implies that him taking her in the first place was "saving her"
She pieced it together. She saw they had eyes on the Roci, Filip said he saved her life, and the female Belter that was part of her former crew brought up the code while she was taunting Naomi. She put all of the pieces together then and asked her former friend for confirmation, and his physical response was all she needed.
Ah, connecting it to her being interrupted in trying to kill Marco confused me. The way I read the scene he kinda saw what she was doing and then he stopped her without her getting caught and killed.
At this point. I would just chalk the number up to low information and entire swaths of infrastructure being utterly destroyed with the primary government apparatus decimated. Also comms on world are completely jammed and entire areas are offline. They simply do not know the extent of the damage yet and are operating off of the best case scenario until they get news.
Also like we know from all disasters. It's usually not the initial blast that kills people. It's everything else surrounding it as society crumbles around everyone involved. Food, water, healthcare, shelter. The meteors took all of that out in the areas they hit . Expect to see the deathtolls rise drastically in the coming days as people get desperate.
Anyone see that there's now an official Expanse monthly t-shirt club? Am I late to the party on this, or did it just launch? Fairly cheap and if it's anything like the clubs for the Venture Bros. I guess it could be awesome? Given the lackluster quality of the official merch designs thus far I'm not so sure, but stranger things have happened.
So when exactly did Amos and Clarissa become best friends? Last thing I remember from season 4 between them was Amos saying to put her down. Now they are like husband and wife.
It explained in the books, there a scene in the show that alludes to it (beginning of season 4 i think), with him calling her peaches and telling her not to give the prison guards anything. Alluding for some sort of relation having grown off screen.
Basically, after the events at the ring, it's the Roci that ferried Melba to Earth. And during that time, she wasn't locked in a cell, she actually spent the few weeks of travel by working on the Roci with Amos, helping fix the damages she caused. And that's how they connected.
Really don't think there will be any flashbacks. Its pretty well alluded to / covered in their call in Season 4.

Already a bit of news in there that I didn't know (maybe I missed it in the shows or earlier books).
Dumping the core isn't like just throwing out the engine, it's just dumping out the in-process ball of gas/fusion. The actual reactor is still on the ship, it just takes time to restart it. This doesn't mean that Alex and Bobby are completely screwed and stranded, they just need to hope the Martian's think they're dead and wait it out, I guess.
Maybe I should have rewatched season 4 because I have no idea who Clarissa is, why she is in prison and why Amos went to see her.
oh man, this thread made me realize where I recognized Konecheck from...he used to do those judge music video shows on MuchMusic!

She tried to kill Holden in season 3, in an attempt to avenge her father's (Jules-Pierre Mao) downfall at the hands of Holden who she blamed.
Well, I did not like this episode
There is something off with Naomi and her family problem
also, the belters are right, how two inners are in command?
Amos escaping was ok

Naomi has been the weak link in this season... but I thought things would change after the last episode.

Yeah, her arc was dealt with better in Nemesis Games, but it's understandable considering the time restraints of a 10 episode season.
Oh I remember now. So she wasn't featured in season 4 at all.

She has a brief scene in the opening episode of season 4, a video chat with Amos.
Another good episode, not as good as the last, but still good.
Also is anyone else getting random german subtitles for when there is text on screen? My CC is off.
I love how he almost fell down as well.

🤦♂️
I love how he almost fell down as well.
Was wondering why he looked familiar. Thanks for the reminder.
In the books that's much more common among belters, but they make it clear in the show that those individuals are rare, but in a few generations all belters will look like that.
That German suplex was fucking godlike. I'm enjoying the relationship between Naomi and filip . I was worried it would be a bit one dimensional but there's something there.
That was goddamn MAJESTIC. But...can someone explain how Amos suplexed a 300 lbs gorilla? Lol🤦♂️
Also loved the episode but ep4 still remains the highlight so far. Naomi is pretty weak imo. What happened to the tough as nails belter badass from earlier seasons? She is suddenly reduced to a whimpering damsel in distress. Come on!
On a side note, I've noticed that some of the ships fire thrusters in the direction that they're heading. Is it explained why?
the physics of flight in The Expanse is continuous burn, which greatly speeds up space travel. But you end up spending 1/2 the burn time accelerating to the destination, flip, then burn the other half decelerating. It's what provides near constant g-gravity on the ships which are designed like skyscrapers.

To be fair, Amos is pushing 220lbs himself and is as strong as an Ox, with the right technique and momentum, he could do it.
Book Naomi's more Mary Sue, than damsel in distress in this part of the narrative, but it makes sense to make her seem more vulnerable for a short period of time while facing her demons, before bouncing back and kicking ass.
Ah never realized they're constantly flipping thrust. Interesting.
I jest. Amos could totally knock that guy off! Also I'm pretty sure Tiny intentionally threw the first guy down the shaft. Complete dickhead.
Good to know the future still has a place for German suplexes.🤦♂️
Not constantly flipping in generally. Only at the midpoint. The important part is the constant thrust.
Unless you need a quick hard course adjustment, which is when you have scenes of them getting the juice and doing a quick flip and burn.
