Hi TVIV this made me laugh and I hope the low budget fun continues:

When Fred Johnson put his tablet thing down and it turned clear and you could see it was scratched and gouged from wear I began to question whether this is the famous attention to detail the show is known for or am I going insane imagining things? I'm probably nuts.

I'm glad I rechecked the space squash scene.

They were playing without rackets

Introducing Avasarala early was fantastic and she's been constantly wonderful to have around.

Introducing Bobbie early... hasn't paid off quite so well. Honestly my favorite part of her story in the show so far is her CO. He seems reasonable. Like a reasonable adult in a room full of children, you can kind of sympathize with him.

I don't think they're getting Bobbie wrong, exactly, but this isn't a particularly interesting part of her story. I appreciate the jingoistic Martian perspective as giving us a window into how that culture views things... but there's only so far that angry shouting can go. It would help if they were ever not angry. Her team even seems constantly angry with each other, and I don't think I've heard them say anything that wasn't in a shout.

That's basically my only issue with this season so far. I love how good the last episode was, even though it was basically all just people wandering around and talking on Tycho.

Isn't he from the book? I remember a Belter kid Miller was hanging with during and after Thoth station. Was that not this guy?

Wherever he's from, I agree that he's been pretty good, all things considered. A good window into the belt and a good youthful enthusiastic naive contrast to Miller's old weary pragmatism.

Part of the problem ok entirely the problem is the actor playing Bobbie is loving terrible at her job.

People were saying Wes Chatham as Amos was terrible in season 1 (before they got dogpiled by book-readers.)

Everything she's done so far was probably filmed in 1-2 days of shooting. I say give her a chance to settle into the role before declaring her loving terrible.

Fair enough. Perhaps I have a bias because she seems miscast for a rough and tumble space marine. Another thought is maybe I'm dumb.

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.

Yea funny that tv writers would turn a strong woman into a stereotypical bitch-on-screen.

worst pizza party ever...

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

Did they not have enough of the suits or something? Surely they could have grabbed some non speaking extras. The dialog makes it seem like there were more people. "We formed a line" doesn't sound all that impressive when it's just 4 people standing 10 feet away from each other.

Lol

I got an Aaron Douglas vibe from Wes Chatham when I first started watching The Expanse to be honest. Not like the "wait, hold on, Alexander Siddig is in this?" that I first had when seeing James Callis in Galactica, but still. Kinda similar looking.

I miss Baltar.

I like to think that they've been through enough to know that if they riot they all die no matter what. So options are hope you're lucky and live, get stuck and pray for something else to come along, or riot and maybe get killed by someone else or die on the ship.

it was more the about face from savages to noble savages.
