It was an underappreciated moment from episode 10, but I just want to say how much I loved the future hobo camp with all of its smart technology. Smart hobo pots, smart hobo still, smart hobo tent. Just an illustration of how life on Earth loving sucks if you slipped through the cracks, and yet in some ways you still have it better than the unwanted of the Belt, where you almost can't slip through the cracks, because the cracks lead to space where you die.

unlawfulsoup posted:It was really rich for him to be telling that to a marine who was injured and whose squad was wiped out. Oh hey, you don't really know sacrifice, I had to hide under a desk once. He also claims to be a chaplain (I say claims because what kind of chaplain is going to be involved in something like the Caliban project?), so he's a non-combatant. Which makes the entitlement even more rich.

"Chaplain" seems to pretty much be code for something like a political officer, considering how he's been behaving with Bobbie.

I get the feeling Holden's gonna murder that other guy when they find his daughter hiding in a crater somewhere. He's gone pretty far, but can Holden murder a child (with the same look of resigned disappointment on his face as when he drops a plate with birthday cake on it)?

Quick question: what's going on with the Martians on Earth and the horizon? Martens curses it before leaving the shuttle and Bobbie gets that special help from the doctor. Differences in gravity or apparent brightness of the sun make sense, but isn't there still a horizon on Mars?

The horizon is probably lower on Mars due to its smaller size so their equilibrium is off when they look at the Earth horizon.

Martians live in caves, basically. There are four billion Martians and few of them have opportunity to gaze at the horizon.

I liked the gravity assist scenes and I was also OK with how the coffin was vaporized because it is a science fiction TV show and sometimes science fictiony things happen.

I like that we never get a clear shot of the proto-monsters and I'm not looking forward to this inevitably ending at some point.

He would have had to lie to the whole crew then, because he was the ship chaplain talking about knowing her dad before she ever went to Ganymede. Being a chaplain is obviously just a cover for him being some sort of secret political officer but it still adds to the irony that the guy bitching about her generation being soft is, on paper at least, a non-combatant.

Did you not hear how when he as a kid they made him do drills where he had to bravely hide under his desk? Can you even imagine asking someone to do that in the name of their country, to sit under a table? Entitled kids today don't even know to stop drop and roll. My grandpa still has PTSD from his stop drop and roll drills back when he was a kid, but he gave up his childhood for mars, for the cause.

I feel like the closer a piece of sci-fi media is to realistic, the more it invites conversation about realism. It's a bit counterintuitive that way.

It's frustrating because so far the series has been really good at depicting the space stuff accurately - aside from the stuff that is supposed to break the laws of physics, of course. Saying it's "science fictiony" doesn't really excuse it because it just doesn't make sense in a series where things usually make sense. It would be like showing a dude walking across the US in a day and saying "well it's just a fictional story so who cares".

I thought it was really heavily implied that the protomolecule monster that escaped was Mei. I know that it's possible that it's just a fake out, but I kind of hope they don't pull that punch. As awful as it would be.

Per the Churn podcast, during that bit in the last episode where Bobbie beats up Martens, they never got to swap out for a prop broken screen, because Frankie Adams threw Peter Outerbridge into the real one hard enough to break it. That throat punch was also really a fairly hard punch to the sternum. Also, some disappointing maybe-spoiler information: for time/budget reasons, we won't see Bobbie's team getting wrecked, at least this season.
