Saw something about the books and skipped over that post. I'm currently reading the series so I'd hope people wouldn't just drop book spoilers all willy nilly.
It really was well done. Though it makes me wonder why they don't have localized gravity rooms made using Centrifugal force. Something like a room in the center of the ship whose purpose is specifically to spin and form a localized pocket of gravity specifically for bleeding injuries.
It would be a really good thing to have, especially for MedBays
But the ships are designed around levels being perpendicular to thrust. A centrifugal force medbay would only work if a ship wasn't accelerating
But, but this would be mainly for those period of when they aren't accelerating. It would be really helpful for something like this, or even stealth operations where they can't be accelerating all the time.
The other ships are too small for having centrifugal gravity. The Behemoth can fit 4 Donnager class ships inside it and still have room. It's why we haven't bothered with it in our space station.
Behemoth needed centrifugal gravity because it had to travel far far away and as such if it didn't have spin gravity it could have spent years with no acceleration. The other ships have the luxury of having most of their travel time be under acceleration as the distance is not that large compared to the distance the Behemoth was designed to travel.
The issue is that you need a pretty high rotational speed if your centrifuge diameter is small. For 1/3 g and a centrifuge diameter of 10 m, for example, you'd need ~7.7 rpm or a rotation roughly every eight seconds. Additionally, a small centrifuge diameter would give you all sorts of unwanted consequences, because standing up, your head would be significantly closer to the centre than your feet; gravity would feel very weird.
All of this. Space Time (a fantastic series) does a nice overview of Sci-Fi artificial gravity.
You can make the case that chambers specifically created for wound recovery would make sense, but that would still require a bigger ship. Then allocating such a large space to a specific need seems like a stretch. That type of wound without acceleration based pseudo-gravity would suggest a mass casualty situation so a small recovery centrifuge wouldn't do much.
I really appreciated the last episode for diving into that so often. Really kicked the whole show up a notch in my tier list.
A human sized gravity recovery pod would work if you were strapped in to the wall and it spun on that side.
Kind of like the space ship 3000 carnival ride, but shrunk down
just finished season 3 yesterday,
GOAT sci-fi show. I knew this would be worthwhile every since I finished reading the first novel. The show just delivered big time

I'd need to doublecheck, but bsically

Hmmm
Hmm, really seems like they're going to just burn through all of Book 3 in half a season. Should be an action filled finale, at least
Is the right move, hope they skip book 4 altogether and go straight to 5.
hey, maybe this will be good enough that i dont want to kill myself anymore. Doubt it though.
Goddamn she's being a bitch.
She deserved that slap for those answers. LOL

?
Yep, well that worked out well for her....

LOL she convinced him easily to take off the restraint.
Bobbie's two fellow marines are getting to be real problem.
LOL Alex "I'm good".
Goddamn, that idiot's cocky smile in the suit makes you want to punch him in the face lol.
Oh boy....
HOLY SHIT, that's amazing lol.
That's an awesome season finale point. Damn, it's great that we'll get to see what's next now, a lot of shows would end here.

Pretty good ending. Would have sucked if that was it, but you could tell they were preparing for it to be the end.
Yep!
Yeah, a lot of shows would end here at this kind of moment. So glad we'll get to see how this continues.

Glad about Drummer, cause they were close.
Still felt a little rushed, I'd have liked another episode, maybe create more of a warring factions, fighting on stopping/using the laser. Also rushed on Melba, as there really wasn't any conversation between her and the Rock crew, nor really any discussion on the fact she started the whole mess with her frame job of Holden. Not a lot of epilogue, just a montage.
the Bull moment, giving his "presents" to the suited up belters

Amazing finale! Holy shit at all those habitable systems. I hope we get to see lots of them. Can't wait to see next season of this show with an Amazon budget. Whew.

ooff, that's 30+ minutes, the bulk of the story premise is setup.
When they told Bobbi to take off the armor, he was right next to her and the exact same height. Nice foreshadowing.
Anyway, that was very satisfying. I'm down for any more Amos/Anna pairing they want to do.
And I guess Bobbi's not getting reinstated another time.
