Also it's obvious that the launching of the missiles was the metaphor for birth control, the NauVoo was your buddy frank that likes to cockblock you all the time, and Naomi and Holden having sex was a metaphor for capitalism.

Crushing rear end to dust is an allegory for imperialism.

It's an Emsa City Cup (Amazon.co.uk link), but I hear there are problems getting them in the US at the moment. I made some transparent transfers for the logo. If anyone can find a place to get the cups I can help out with the transfers.

Here's it for 25 shipped on US Amazon, but kinda pricey.

I love people who's priorities are such that they cannot spare 90 seconds to watch a scene they don't like in a show they presumably do like, but they can take time out to inform the internet of their decision.

Pickle: Inspected.



Just caught this episode and god drat I haven't been that emotionally impacted by a beautiful scene in TV in a while. It's basically the music, which when composed and coordinated well with good cinematography makes me feel like a big crybaby. It's too bad without Miller around this show's gonna become a lot less interesting but considering what they've pulled off in the last couple, I'm definitely on board for whatever it's got.

Did the Martians even have scenes in either of the last two episodes?

I know they didn’t in E05.

Makes me wonder why they even bothered introducing them before the Eros plotline was wrapped up. Maybe some actor screen-time contract shenanigans? :raise:

Bobbie is a fan favorite from the books. Like Avasarala they probably wanted to introduce her early to excite the fans and generally put more of a known good thing in the show. I know I was excited when I heard season two would open with Bobbie.

Unfortunately she's not automatically great in any context, and "sitting on a ship while angry" is not the most entertaining premise.

Bobbie so far as done very little of note compared to Naomi, Avasarala and now Drummer whose actions and decisions are changing the whole Solar system. I'm sure she will step up in the future once the circumstances put her on the spot.

I think like the Roci crew, they wanted to give Bobbie more of an emotional change story arc and setting her up as this ra ra super patriot hardass marine starts her with more range.

Whoever said the marines from the Donnager were a cooler version of marines was right, I remember in the book they start off with like 7 marines when get picked up and one by one the guys at the back start disappearing and Holden is like "Wait, what about John?" and is told "John isn't coming with us."

They were portrayed as grim robots who didn't think twice about giving their lives to the mission in order to buy a couple more minutes for the team. Way cooler than Trust Fund Tammy and doofy Earth guy

I actually liked the Martian marines once they stopped dunking on Earth Guy and showed some empathy so my only real complaint is that their power armour reminds me a bit too much of the nonsensical armour permutations from the later Halo sequels that nobody likes
