Err, the door was locked, then they've unlocked it, tossed a grenade and figured no one's gonna try to get in and will be dead by grenade a few seconds later anyway, so no need to lock it again.

In the books, rather than standing around being judgemental, Naomi unlocks the door from our end. When it's unlocked is when they throw the grenade through.

Naomi has plenty to say about Holden going all cowboy in the books, too. It would be weirder if she didn't have feelings about her boyfriend/captain getting all trigger-happy.

The big change in those scenes is that, in the books, Naomi isn't there at all. She's hacking the facility from off-site to unlock doors and stuff for Holden, Amos, and Prax (and some stranded private security guys they run into and hire). I get why they changed that for the show; it streamlines things a lot to have her just be in the room with everyone.

You'd think after that laugh line about have some pizza it reduced the dramatic tension so they'd have some snappy back and forth but instead we get the walls painted in space marine bolognese. lol

The Venus pacing has been really weird and uneven but they might still get there, possibly by skipping over some steps.

My problem is more that they could've had the actors moving around and doing things in the setting whilst conveying their emotions, not just standing in the background being flatly directed.

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.

I get the impression that the martian military is pretty opaque and basically layer on layer of maybe-intelligence folks on very long leashes

Where do you get that? It doesn't sound south African at all. Most i hear is south London, maybe mixed with a few other London accents but definitely not south African

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I thought this was a very jovial (no pun intended?) and fun episode. The quip from Bobbie to Avasarala about, "well then you should've been more specific" was hilarious and Avasarala's reaction was just perfect. The grenade scene was really good too. I love this show.

The venus pacing is way off though. I can totally not care about that if they do the Avasarala meeting on Mao's ship scene well though.

I miss the gently caress out of Miller. Amos is a great actor, but damnit Miller so sold that character.

The books describe at length about how much of the food belters eat on the stations like Ceres are basically fungi-based. Like fungi-whiskey, fungi-noodles, and so on.

I think the obvious thing here would be that your pizza would consist of a fungi-based crust, with fungi-based cheese, topped off with mushrooms.

apparently cheese needs to be imported from earthside

which is pretty weird, a combination of fats and proteins emulsified in water seems trivial to synthesize on an industrial level, as is fermenting it all up. you could probably skip all steps and use tryptone as your flavor enhancer, msg style
