The first half of the season is like a prologue. From halfway thru S1 to halfway thru S2 is the "legit" first season. That's where you get you season finale feel. Same for halfway thru S2 to halfway to S3. Then the rest to the end of S3 is a complete story because they thought they'd be cancelled before amazon bought the rights.
Indeed, the end of the Season is not the end of the 1st book. You'll notice when it comes.
I hope you guys have comment moderators because people are doing that stupid hint/vague spoiler thing in the comments.
You guys gonna watch the Godzilla vs Kong trailer?
@@solargeknowles4354 don't worry, they don't read the comments anymore
They call it Luna because Earth isn't the only planet that has a moon. If they said "the moon" people probably would say which one
Luna is also moon in spanish and as well spanish speakers call all moons "lunas"
@@sparrowlt Luna is literally moon in latin, so yeah. but its also the only thing closest to a name the moon has. just like calling the sun sol/helios, it doesn't have a name, but its not the only "sun", so it needs a unique name. if our ancestors were smart enough we wouldn't name every star a sun and every natural satellite a moon.
I'm sure it would be understood what is meant, but it would be considered very Earth-biased language
People seem to forget that we can call the moon Luna in our present day, we just don't simply because the English Language allows us to use the article (THE) which written with moon, would indicate to our moon. but in the future, where humans have inhabited the solar system, the moon isn't quite clear since there are hundreds of moons in the Jovian system alone. But overall, there isn't anything wrong in using the names Luna, or Terra or Sol to describe the moon, the earth, and the sun. We just don't use it.
saying "the moon" is as wrong as saying "the sun", "our moon" or "our sun" would be, on earth atlest, correct.
Most people never use their names since from our point of view at the moment, there is only 1 thing that could be meant.
Luna, being the name of Earths natural Satelite, makes sence while talking in a context with basically over 100 moons in the Sol System ^^
Eric is right in the sense that this isn't actually the end of a book. The real ending of the first book "Leviathan Wakes" is episode 2x4 and 2x5
The "Errinwright and Aaronwrong" moment by Eric was amazing 😂😂😂
Amos has that affect on everyone. At first it's just like "he's a character who's there" and then without noticing you become all "I would take a bullet for him".
Let's be real, Amos would be theone taking bullets, but the sentiment still stands.
I would not. ☠️
Chrisjen Avasarala is a fantastic character and Shohreh Aghdashloo is a fabulous actress. Absolutely perfect casting.
37:06 It doesn't feel like the end of a book because it's not the end of the first book yet. Nice catch Eric.
The best sci-fi show on tv and it just gets even better!!
Not exactly a high bar to meet since there aren't many sci-fi shows.
@@tadcooper9733 I thought Devs and Tales from the Loop were great last year, but those are both limited series.
Well, it does get better in the next 2 seasons. I thought season 4 was the weakest.
Hmm still AoS better in mop
dark on netflix is better but this i still great too
And so the inevitable love for Amos begins :D
The discussion was great, it pumped me up for so many of the things to come!
Yeah, Amos is the guy
They have no idea! Love your TH-cam video on Amos by the way! Excellent!
@@jamesholland5761 Hey! I'm so glad you liked it :) I really wish more people would make edts to The Expanse (I'm low key dying for a Zurik one once S5 wraps up). Editing kinda helps me fill that void 😅
@@ranialian8537 I totally agree! I'm really wrapped up in this show, I'm going to need medication by the end of this season! And after next year I'm going to read the books, after that I'm lost.....
@@jamesholland5761 Same! I'm not ready for the season wrapping up this Wednesday. And I hear ya, I'm also saving the books for post-show!
I'm just happy we finally got these Blind Wave reactions, I've been voting for them forever. There are plenty of Expanse reactions around (which I thoroughly enjoy) but these might be my favorite, simply because I'm expecting Black-Sails-levels of investment from this crew. They still don't fully grasp how great this show is but that's part of the fun :D
Aaron! The first reactor I’ve ever seen to notice the DNA strand was a triple helix!
If it's even DNA?
Eric, a short text doesn't allow me to express how great the novels are, suffice to say they are truly epic. Audible has them as well, the voice actor is awesome.
It burns me we only get 1 episode a week!! It consistently builds
It would be nice if they did twice a week.
Most reactors bump it up to twice a week around the middle of season 2 and we all know why.
@@Anubisblack I'm on their patreon. They dont do double drops. they released S2E4 today. Miller just landed on Eros. We have to wait another week before... u know..
Now, this is when the series starts and becomes amazing.
this series deserves all the plaudits. you guys are in for a wild ride.
Aaron saying Errinwright looks like a droid(Data) was hilarious. I had said that many times myself when watching and re-watching the show.
I need season 2 yesterday
Same, hyped for a certain character reveal
@@keganbeavers3464 who?
@@Dragonbornabc123 I’d guess Bobby, maybe Drummer(when does drummer first show up?)
Drummer shows up after the events of 2x2, discussing the Roci. Probably in 2x3, IIRC.
Aaron telling Eric that Phoebe being captured extra-solar doesnt matter has me like MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....................................................................
@Billy Kaplan-Altman Eric's instincts are excellent. Everything he brings up is always either in the right direction, or at least relevant to the story even if he didn't guess the details right. He really pays attention and always picks up everything the show is putting down.
Someone's gotten Pattern excited again I see.
Yeah, this was super frustrating. I wanted to scream at them: THIS IS SUCH A GOOD POINT AND YOU SHOULD HOLD ONTO THIS!
@@KillahMate Yeah... which is why he's sus
pls give the credits a chance. they are always so well done, fitting the tone of the episode. or honouring its ending. at least a few seconds. pls
They also change slightly each season featuring elements from the story as it develops
and: no spoilers but sometimes they leave you with absolute CHILLS.
The credits from S05E08 are amazing
Although, HUGE WARNING - AVOID watching the opening credits from episode 3x07, DO NOT WATCH THEM!
@@ahdvd true. my general plea is for the end credits tho.
(3x07 is downright stupid where the opening credits are concerned) ^-^
He he, it started. They'll love Amos so much more :D
"What does rain taste like?"
Remember that line.
I love the idea behind the Rocinante being a destroyer-class military ship. Small, heavily armed, and versatile. Makes for a great watch when the small crew is constantly being tested.
Can't wait for the real finale next season lmao. Shit just gets wilder and wilder.
Hey 👋 love your reactions man! And yes wild it is!
@@starsnmoon5936 thank you!
Amos is a (fairly high-functioning) psychopath. He has no conscience. He wants to do certain things, but he knows that doing whatever he wants will not work out well for him in the long run. He actually wants to do good, but doesn't know what that is, so he has decided that Naomi will be his conscience. Says a lot about Naomi.
I feel like Aaron is still waiting for the show to go Star Trek or Battlestar Gallatica style, given the commentary during the show. But in the discussion you guys are on point, so no complaints lol Amos is such a great character! I feel like he is the one who we as an audience also rely on to do the dirty work, since we ourselves wouldn't be comfortable to have many gray morality driven psychos around.
I hope you guys enjoy next seasons even better! So far, I think Calvin and Rick grasped the tone of the show the best yet.
Amos best character, Chrisjen second best IMO
Thank God and the authors The Expanse is different, we don't need another CTRL+V of these great shows from the past.
I am loving the theories you guys have in the discussion. I can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the series.
Same. This is amazing. I’m doing my 3rd rewatch and this is awesome to see. Love it!
I can''t wait until people that haven't read the books see how crazy shit gets.
"Blue goo" and protoshit are terms used by Alex. The Leviathan is Eros Station, which has been taken over by the blue goo.
You guys are in for a hell of a ride. The show is following about 90% of the books. This show is soooo good i bought the books and the DVDs.
Really enjoy your reaction and discussion..can't wait for the next seasons. Kinda wish we had 5 more episodes available lol
also just for the record James S. A. Corey
is not actually a person. It's the pen name for two different guys
one of which wrote a song of ice and fire, ..come on we all know its true! 10 years and no winds of winter, and in that period we have had 9 expanse books?! we all know its true! don't @ me ! ;)
@@Braincleaner ok, what about all the other books that came out during that period? Did he write them all too? Your logic for why he's a write doesn't make sense
I always love the discussion you guys have! Good comments on Holden & Miller. Glad that you are all invested and I can't wait to see what you think of season 2!
Anubis is the Egyptian God of death and Thoth is the Egyptian God of Wisdom/Magic/Science. The stealth ship was named Anubis.
Can't wait for them to meet Bobby...
Oh man, I can't wait to revisit the Cotyar/Chrisjen/Bobbie trio.
From here on, it just gets better with every single episode.
You really need to pay more attention to the intro for Season 2 onward, there are a lot of changes and hints going on :P
While this episode was titled, "Leviathan Wakes", I don't feel the book ends until Season 2, Episode 5. And they call it 'protomolecule' because it's a molecule found/modified by the company, 'Protogen'.
So so so good! Read the books!!!! It's all up hill from here my dudes. So close to doing your Patreon just to get more reactions!!!!
Nice that they pointed out that all Protomolecule originates from Julie being infected, which is a quite important detail
It was Calvin who said it so i have a feeling Carmen gave him some spoilers
@@jaives or he figured it out himself, I mean it's not that hard of a theory to come up with
The author has been asked many times what the (Epsteine) Drive runs on. He always answers the same thing: It runs on efficiency :)
And the ships fly at the speed of the plot
When you say ‘he’ do you mean Daniel Abraham or Ty Franck?
Atomic fusion. It's green, and it produces so much energy.
the problem in the our reality is that it requires more energy than it produces. it os not viable at the moment.
@@donii4492 not exacly,
Any fusion that results in an atom heavier that iron, uses more energy than it make.
But atomic fusions that make atoms lighter than iron actually releases more energy than it uses.
source: fusion bombs exist
@Billy Kaplan-Altman Gold isn't "worth" anything nor is oxygen, just like before organic life came along to have feelings about them. They have utility.
"Value" is a myth, it never exists outside the imagination.
Eric: "Anybody think we'll lose both of these guys?"
Aaron: "Idk, they seem too important."
*Flashbacks to the Starks intensify*
THEY MADE IT! The curtain has been pulled on the mystery. They are going to start getting into the meat of the story and I am EXCITED!
Syfy as usual made a show with a full length opening sequence but then created a shorter version that was only about 5 seconds to give them more advertising time to sell, but they aired eps 9 & 10 as a single two hour episode with just one set of credits and decided to put the full credits on at the beginning, so now it's split into two separate episodes they've put the full credit on both.
My friend is one of the main characters in this show! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying it. :)
That's pretty cool.
Who?
@@jamesholland5761 Diego played by my buddy Andrew. Not a MAIN main character but still fairly prominent! I haven't watched the show a ton myself, admittedly
@@whitevii1533 that's awesome
@@whitevii1533 Diogo?! He's definitely one of my favorite characters. He's such a little shit. I love to hate him. Tell your friend great job!!
The fuel are the fuel pellets for the fusion reactor. They have enough on board for years. The propellent is superheated plasma, made from water on board. That water can run out within days or weeks, depending on the size of the tanks and rate of acceleration. One of the reasons why water has become such a sought after commodity.
At the joint CalTech panel with the Expanse crew panel it was confirmed NOT water due to blue color and distance traveled and the panel debunking it with the author. There would not be enough storage space on board, the numerous stops for "reaction mass" to combine with the electrical output from the reactors is, as yet unknown. The Reaction mass, most of the medical and "juice" are the most notable one of the authors actually called the Juice "Space Juice" as there was nothing based in fact that they could find. Having the crew recover from cocaine and amphetamines, as it was mentioned once, is not very viable although this after effects could be mitigated with "Space Medicine".
Just started watching this channel because of your Expanse videos. Been loving your reactions to it!
Fans wanted the whole intro/theme so they started using it again.
You ain't ready, boys. You ain't ready.
The Sun once tried to stand off against Avasarala - The entire solar-system's orbital paths changed when it moved first.
The Epstein drives that ships in the Expanse use don't have 'gas' - they're incredibly efficient fusion drives. Just like everything else in the show, they're based on real-world fusion drive designs, just pushed beyond anything we could currently make.
Technically they do use gas, only it's probably xenon or something instead of gasoline lol
Amos the best character, this is just the start.
He’s that guy.
@@Braincleaner Yes, he IS that guy.
26:40 I love it when your theories on what will happen next slowly get more and more out of hand :D
It is kind of frustrating that it will now take half a year to get to the end of season 3 (2*13 episodes).
Something to look forward to.
Just 2 more weeks, maybe they'll pick up speed after that. That's the reaction I"m looking forward to.
Same amount of time we'll wait for the 6th season.
Just looking forward to the "home" episode reaction
@@KuraMad2000 They won't. People need to stop asking them for more than 1 a week. They don't do that.
I was coercing my mom into watching this show with me (I'll come over and cook dinner and then oh so casually suggest we watch an episode or two) and I think episode 7 or 8 is when she started to get hooked on it.
Looking forward to your review/reaction to season 2.
Amos Burton or Murder Snuggles as he is known to the ladies is the bomb
Luna is the name of earths moon, a moon can be any astronomical body that orbits a planet. so in solar system terms saying "the moon" people would ask "which one?" Mars has moons, jupiter has moons.
As far as I can tell, Holden has not yet directly killed anyone.
The water thief is named Diogo. His uncle did not "space" him, his uncle put him "on the float." The difference is whether or not you get a space suit.
Amos has zero subtext; what he says is what he means. I believe for a moment Amos had been considering Semi as a candidate for leader while they were in the tunnels. Remember when Semi got rid of that infected Belter, Amos said, "It was the right thing." But in the end, Amos went with Naomi because, as he said before, "You always do the right thing."
This season ends about 3/4 through the first book, the second book will stretch from the middle of the second season to the middle of the third season.
"Those crystals do not seem to be..................................... natural."
"Why would you catch it?!"
Rick's commentary during the reaction is ON POINT, bro.
The pills just sharpen your senses to pick up tells from the subject, I guess the rules like not using gravity torture are taken seriously on Mars. And Earth Avasarala was breaking the rules to get the information on why belters were dealing in Martian stealth tech.
This ending, while not the full book, makes sense as a season final as it fits well visually as a legit WTF moment to end a season on.
I also can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they find the answer to what "Thoth" is :D
Thoth is the egytian god of writing, magic and wisdom.
Thoth is the Egyptian god of writing, magic, wisdom, and the moon. He was considered the record keeper of the gods (taking the minutes of the world if you will) and kept all his wisdom in the Book of Thoth. I suppose in the Expanse when he says to "send it all to Thoth", he is telling him to send the data to a main backup server. Maybe it's a particular data lab, satellite, facility, or even person that compiles, organizes, and stores all their research data.
they use very efficent fusion drives for there engines and they have the capability to burn in small high g maneuvers but mostly just use trust gravity set somewhere between 1/3 and 1G at all times to provide gravity and its the reason the ships are built like skyscrapers instead of traditional boats. The bottom the of the ship is the engine, not the back of the ship so to slow down they flip and burn.
"I'm not gonna say Protomolecule all the time."... Here's the thing. You know what, never mind.
These supposed nerds are saying this..?
They call it Luna, because that's officially what our moon's name is in real life. It means moon in latin
Great discussion at the end guys.
23:07 _"So you think it's like a dandelion"..._ 🤔
When he said that I was like 😯
Highly recommend the audiobooks read by the fantastic Jefferson Mays
The crazy thing about season 1 is you you still don't even know what The Expanse is about...
Oh man, just wait for season 2, baby, baby it's good
Knowing what's coming I'm digging your analysis 😎
yes, yes you want to read the books Eric.
You should react to “His Dark Materials”!
Got the full intro in the Series Premiere and the Season Finale. I think that if you're watching on Amazon, you get the full intro every episode from here on out. And it changes based on events and the situation.
The Queen of Goo- :D :D :D I cannot wait for you to watch seasons 2,3,4,5! Please, do more than one episode per week :)
When I don't want to refer to it as protomolecule, I call it Spungus xD space fungus.
These theories amuse me!
Never mind the bird and the necklace. The Hat. Miller was wearing his hat in Julie's vision.
Slice of time. Best sci-fi ever created. Only thing I'll come back to.
Thoth Egyptian god of writing, magic, wisdom, and the moon, ties in this the ships names like the Anubis.
Dandelion!
👀
I know I'm 3 years late watching these but "Aaronwrong!" just made me spit out my water lmao
We all start disliking Amos and eventually he becomes your favorite character.
So strange how it happens. But by the time "I am that guy" happens, he's the best character
Just started watching the series a week ago(now halfway through season 2)and am struggling mightily to not add Belter Creole to my everyday speech... Keep safe kopengs mi!
I can't wait for you to get through to the latest season. Unfortunately this is one of those shows that you NEED to watch through multiple times. You see new things every time. Having 4 of you there will not change this.
It's not the end of the first book. S02E05 is the end of the first book.
the triple helix is the DNA structure of the precursors in AC
15:21 Yes. You want to read the books. Trust me.
Thoth: Thoth is an ancient Egyptian deity. In
art, he was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a
baboon, animals sacred to him. His feminine counterpart was Seshat, and
his wife was Ma'at. He was the god of the moon, wisdom, writing,
hieroglyphs, science, magic, art, and judgment. Wiki
Thoth is also a private station.
The interogation pill which that marsoan offercer used would only help with people who are willing to talk. They tortured the OPA smuggler to make him talk
No, Diogo and his uncle were on the way to Ceres.
It's a pitty they couldn't show the more grizzly images coming out of Eros. In the book, the Eros incident looked a lot more like Dead Space, with repurposed human torsos walking around, etc.
You'll learn more about the ship fuel science some next season.
44:12 *_HOW DARE YOU LAY SUCH BASELESS ACCUSATIONS, ERIC?!_*
😂
My favorite part about this show is how practical they try to make everything nothing to fantastical
Y'all, as good as the show is, the books are even better! Some of the best sci fi out there.
"It like a dandelion"
HmmmmM
👀👀
It's much later, but "peaches" gives so many extra layers. The actress kills.
Regarding the fuel and propulsion for the ships, they'll get into that... :)
Ah, yes, Julie, the Queen of Goo
Book 1 ends with episode 205. You are 100% correct.
