Yes, there are some GREAT fan made recaps and blooper reels. Thanks for sharing this one with us...we loved it when it came out...and we loved it again. Thanks.
Being a belter Miller got weaker body that a healthy earther like Holden would have , i believe thats the reason why miller was affected by the radiation faster.
Holden's also a lot younger and healthier than Miller, which helps him a little. As much as it can anyway, when you're force-fed a mega dose of radiation.
And Holden being genetically manipulated. At the least, if the technology exists to splice 8 different person's DNA into 1 and the "parents" could afford it, they would have the good sense to remove recessive traits if possible if not enhance him.
@@DeFrancoFollower Enhancement beyond current human norms, true, is specilation. But the implications of removing recessive traits, which is in itself an enhancement are all there. Splicing and dicing is there. The genome was mapped more than 150 years before Season 1 There must be a science based test to prove there that there is enough DNA from the 8. And to make James the crusader, they would not create a non-viable child (duh), or one who has to struggle with his own imperfections as well as the government.🤔
Fun fact - Phoebe, where the Anubis got the Protomolecule from, is a real-life moon of Saturn. What makes it interesting is that it orbits the planet in the opposite direction from the rest of its moons, leading to the theory that it is an extrasolar capture.
16:30 The title of ep. #1, Dulcinea, refers to Don Quixote's idealized lady fair, the woman he strives to be worthy of. Miller fell in love with Julie sight unseen, or with the idea of her. Now he finds himself being judged by her, and feeling her disapproval. It becomes a warning to his subconscious that he needs to do better to measure up to his Dulcinea. Why isn't Holden as poor off as Miller obviously is. Remember what the Ceres coroner told us. Life expectancy on Earth and Mars are more than double that in the Belt. Holden was constructed from his eight parents' DNA by the best geneticist available, probably with a lack of recessive traits, and he was raised in the best of all possible conditions. Miller started life with all the disadvantages his environment could heap upon him. Even before the killer dose of hard radiation, he was in distressed condition from the get-go.
I just love the evolution of her feelings on Miller. This has been a fascinating react for me as someone who's such a big fan of the show. See which characters people like, dislike or end up growing on them.
Frank DeGraff was from Earth and part of the same diplomatic corps that Crisjen and her father were part of. He was also the Ambassador TO Mars, and obviously very much in love with the planet and culture. He wanted to retire to Mars, which is why being banned from that after Crisjen's play was so devastating to him. But he still had connections to access the drive records of the ships that Crisjen found. Normally, drive schematics aren't significant, but when you find that they're installed on a secret fleet of stealth ships....
Gotta love Chrisjen. When she thinks things might be getting dangerous, her reaction is to get her _husband_ to safety! Not herself! Hollywood doesn't have a lot of badass grandmas, and she's pretty near the top of the list!
It's not an integral part of the plot, but those "pencils"/data storage devices are yet another example of the attention to detail you get with The Expanse. Everything in this future has gone digital--that's hinted at when Avasarala comments on Holden's mother's collection of real books, and shown by the ubiquitous presence of handheld digital terminals. So it stands to reason that the kind of overpriced, kitschy data drives a top politician with a romantic streak would use would be modeled on an archaic device like a wooden pencil.
Yes, and they showed DeGraaf writing with those pencils into a paper notebook nearly every time we saw him. His old friend would know he was not merely eccentric.
Amos (aka murder snuggles) is a wonderful character. He is generally pretty cold as a person, but has a soft spot for children. I know you'll enjoy the slow burn of learning about why he is the person he is.
Holden and Miller's interactions are interesting because they have diametrically opposed philosophies. Holden is an idealist, Miller is a nihilist. Holden would like all the perpetrators of Eros to stand trial and be brought to justice. Miller's ok with casually murdering them because he thinks the universe is a better place without them in it. It's a set of differences they'll never really be able to reconcile, although they do rub off on each other a bit in certain ways. And the saga of Eros is far from over. The events that transpire in this episode are going to have profound and far-reaching consequences. And the so-called bio-weapon? It's existentially terrifying in ways that none of the main characters have realized yet. Amos is an utterly fantastic character, and easy on the eyes to boot! And I say that as a straight dude! LOL. Holden has a line in one of the books where he compares Amos to a pit bull: He can be extremely dangerous when he wants to be, but he's loyal to a fault and you just wanna hug him. All the characters in this show evolve and develop in interesting ways, but Amos has perhaps the most complex and challenging backstory of any of them, which you will learn about in detail eventually(plus the show drops lots of little hints towards it along the way). I think it's safe to say that Amos is one of the biggest fan-favorite characters. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to the next episode. It will be introducing another new main-ish character, and one of my absolute favorites as well. On to season 2!
Every episode is better than the one before. Every season is better than the one before. This show deserves some Emmy awards. This show as some of the best writing, acting, and sci-fi CGI. I would like to warn you a bit. Some episodes will have you in tears. Have some tissue near by. When this show pull at your heart strings, they pull really hard.
Miller really does have a way of growing on you. It's easy to dislike Miller as just an asshole until you get to know him and realize that he's an asshole with his own code that he lives by. Even if you don't always agree with his code, there's still something admirable about that. I mean, he's dying of radiation poisoning and has finally made his way clear, found his only path that could lead to a possibility of survival, but he just can't go without settling things up for Havelock. This show has so many characters with their own stories weaving in and out of the grand tapestry, that it only makes sense to have longer intros than outros. There's just so much to digest and process that it all needs time to sift through and it's really hard to do fresh out of the episode.
Wow! I knew I was going to enjoy your journey in this masterpiece but you really are hooked! Welcome to the family Beratna! Fellow Screaming Firehawk! And to think, it only gets better! Other commenters already pointed out why Miller was effected sooner than Holden. There are many layers to each characters being explored in this story. I could explore each one in this episode but it would take hours! Holden's morality is tested here and watching Miller is very hard for him but there is an admiration to it! Amos- aka murder snuggles! I'm a straight male but I love this guy!! He's my Dude! As another reactor has expressed! Chrisjen is our Queen! Period! So looking forward to season two!
I will never be able to say enough about the writing on this show. The characters - all of the characters (not just the principals) are all driven by their natures: they aren't just cogs fulfilling a role, or serving the plot. That's not to say that they don't drive the plot - because they do - but the plot seems to emerge from who they are, rather than the other way around. (And yes, I know that that is not how writing works. But good writing makes us believe that whatever choices characters make, any other choice would have been 'out of character'. ) Amos and Chrisjen only get better.
Miller got worse because he's a belter. It's played with in lots of sci-fi I've noticed, the captain in Andromeda, the security officers in The Orville etc.
People have compared The Expanse to Game of Thrones for the political intrigue and multiple POV characters spread around. To further the analogy, the Protomolecule could be likened to the White Walkers in the early days. A fantastical, unknown other in an otherwise grounded setting which we initially only glimpse in the first episode.
Funnylilgal down bad! Crying and damn near hyperventilating at two characters being injured...I don't know how she makes it through the next set of episodes. I love it.
One of the peculiarities of radiation exposure is that one of the initial symptoms of exposure is that you feel pretty good. Probably because your microbiota is generally pretty much cactus. But then the nausea, weakness, and bleeding hits as your cells, particularly skin cells, starts dying. And then you get the pain, seizures, and effects of serious nerve and organ damage. You can still potentially survive an otherwise "fatal" dose with medical attention, although you will be extremely debilitated and essentially relying on life support to keep you alive. Although in this case it was a close thing; "hospice" mode is, I suspect, purely palliative (as in a setting to make the patient's death relatively painless). [And this ignores long-term effects such as cancers. The lowered modern radiation limits are due to the fact that the stochastic effects of even light radiation exposure were much more severe than most people originally imagined.]
Episode one, "Gah Miller and his stupid hat!' Episode 10 "I'm sorry, you can have your hat back!" Yeah this show does that with all the "main" players. Oh, if you were wondering, season 2 picks up speed. So get a good seatbelt, and tissues.
I love Miller. I agree that Thomas Jane did a fantastic job with him. PS. I see Flint, I like 😊 My love for the masterpiece that is Black Sails knows no bounds.
You know, 8 episodes ago, when you could not really get hooked on the show? What a 180 turn :) And the show stay that's emotional over the next seasons!
@@artboymoy Yeah that cracks me up, because I've absolutely done that before! It just happened without my even thinking about it, lol. My stupid body was trying to protect the floor I guess?
I can't wait for you to start covering S2, if I have a bit of extra cash this month I might even become a patron. I love the whole series, but S2 is my favorite overall.
Great reaction. Its a testament to how well the show is written that you bonded with all the characters. Loads more twists and turns to come. One of the best shows on tv in the last ten yrs. Love how youve fallen in love with so quickly. Cant wait to watch more of your reactions. :)
Thanks a bunch for the bonus round, this was a pleasant surprise. This show is littered with intriguing characters, a lot of small interactions are left on the cutting room floor but I do believe the authors and the rest of the crew whittled it all down in the best way they could have, especially considering all of the juggling going on behind the scenes.
There are lots of mysteries, and you are touching upon a number of them. I cant say more than that :D You are not supposed to understand any of it yet, and watching you theorize is truly part of the fun :)
I've just discovered your channel and really enjoying it. It's helping me get thru a busted wrist. I found myself telling you to breathe at the beginning, even knowing this is the past. Thank you.
The dribble (or: buns) is what makes your videos very distinct. I love those musings! Looking forward to the videos to come. Edit: some unsolicited recommendation coming up. If you want to cover more very well written hard SF in the future, you could choose "For All Mankind" on Apple TV+. It's a show that starts from the question: how would things have developed if the Soviet Union actually had been to the Moon first, back in 1969. It's equally riveting as "The Expanse", coming from Ronald D. Moore, the guy who did the excellent re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series in 2004.
Thank you for the great reaction, I can tell you really appreciate this show. New subscriber, I was a little concerned for you while you were getting emotional. Not for now, but there will be an emotional price to pay for some of the staggeringly beautiful scenes and plot lines that are coming. They are all worth it, though!
I'm sure somebody else has already mentioned this, but if you want some perspective on the size of the Nauvoo, in the books it's described as "so huge four Donnager-class Martian warships can be tucked inside and still have room to spare".
I’m 2 years late. Sorry. Just found this amazing reaction channel. All I gotta say is. I wish somebody would look at me like you do to Amos. Haha I love it. The expanse is one of my fav sci-fi shows. I’m going to watch all of ur reactions
The simple fact that reactors feel it necessary to expound on details of what they've watched and make predictions for future episodes, really shows why this series is so amazing. Instead of dumbing down for audiences and constantly using endless exposition, the creators chose to trust the audience and concentrate on suspense, intrigue, and plot twists that when fully explained much later it just creates that WOW factor for Sci Fi lovers. Or really anyone that loves good story telling.
And now you see where the missing riot gear from Ceres ended up, as well as the Loca Griegas gang that left the water funneling operation with the kid Diogo.
Please, don't make any pause between seasons, lol, I can't wait. Btw, I love Miller's character. It's one of my favs along with another I can't mention yet.
Watching you thirst over Wes Chatham makes me giggle. I, as a straight man, also thirsts over him. Without a doubt my favorite character from any show.
Seems like your reaction to Holden & Miller's conditions was especially powerful because of your personal professional experience working with radiation and your awareness of its effects. Cool to see. Thankfully, (as you've seen by now, given that your Patreon is apparently a couple weeks ahead), they have really advanced medicine in this future... yay!
Sweet reaction! Can't wait for you doing season 2 and also meet 2 new characters (one of which is probably my favourite in the show)! Why does Holden know they were hit with a deadly dose of radiation? Because his hand terminal warned him about that. Those things have built in detectors for stuff like that for savety reasons. You can see the red radiation hazard symbol flashing on his screen when it happens. I guess he didn't react faster because he was still in disbelieve about what he was witnessing.
Great insight as always. Hugs for the fear of losing Miller. I felt the same way. Just a heads up about the Ty and That Guy podcast: There are a couple of unintentional Season 5 spoilers in the early episodes of the podcast, so maybe hold off on watching it until your second watch of The Expanse. Yes, you know you're going to rewatch, and watch episode by episode in tandem with the podcast. Enjoy!
The stairwell isn't as scary as it looks. Eros has 0.3 g centrifugal accelaration at it's surface. The closer to the axis of rotation you go, the lower it gets but even at the edge 0.3 is very manageable. You could propably just catch the ladder again if you slip and holding on does take a third of the effort it does on earth.
Oh boy, the look on my face several episodes ago when you were talking about "every time you start to like a character they die" and then jokingly said you liked miller so he would die.
YAYYY for team Amos!!! :D AmosAmosAmosAmosAmosAmos!!! 'Murdersnuggles'!! I love it when characters are Amos-ly coded. :D Your reactions to this are going to be the highlight of my week. :)
For the radiation exposure, your profession likely puts you as closer to expert, but the x-rays are relatively focused, only open long enough for the film exposure, where your exposure will be the little bit that bounces around the room before losing energy. In the show, the radiation dose is framed as a focused dose of a high level of what's likely gamma radiation (based on the radiation being contained in a room with thick walls). So, it is definitely plausible for a brief exposure to the wrong type of radiation to be deadly.
When you get through the series, the actor who plays Amos has a podcast with one of the writers of the books. I think I'll wait to tell you the name of it until after a certain point in the show because the title is not really spoiler-y but kinda maybe is? Anyway, I think you would enjoy it. They go over each episode and also talk film and life and sometimes have the other actors on as guests.
The reason that Miller got sick faster is because his immune system and overall health was a lot worse. It was stated in a earlier episode that he was an orphan on the station and had gotten inferior/expired immune /growth supplementation shots. That’s also the cause of the messed up spine protuberance on his neck.
You couldn't have a better friend than Amos. At the same time he'd also be the last person you'd ever want against you. If Holden told me he was pissed with me I'd say"Ok mate". If Amos said that most people wouldn't even see the "me-shaped' blur as I flew past them, and like Forrest I wouldn't stop running for years.
The machine keeps trying to switch to Hospice -- Means that AI of the medical bay computer is considering Miller and Holden "terminal care patients" and tries to switch to "pain management until they die" instead of trying to treat the radiation poisoning. It thinks they can't be saved. Meanwhile Amos keeps having to set it back to "triage and treat" so it will assess the problem and treat the problem. Holden is Earth born, while Miller is Belt born. The difference in gravity and environment would likely account for Holden's denser tissue mass, and possibly better general health, thus increased tolerance for the same exposure to radiation, hence tot showing symptoms as soon, and being in overall better condition upon reaching the ship than Miller.
Saying that Naomi is OPA is sort of like a post-Civil War American saying that somebody is "an Indian." Every faction of the OPA is like a different Indigenous Nation, made up of many tribes.
Degraf was never a Martian. He was an Earther. He was the UN’s AMBASSADOR to Mars. But he and his husband ADMIRED Mars and the Martian people. So much that they planned to retire there. He also was doing self-designated “secret investigation“ of the mystery starship engines.
Nice reaction. So many shows have memorable OMG moments but im not sure any have as many WTF moments as The Expanse.:) Strap in cause S2 and S3 Expand in sacle and intensity.
12:40 oh shit, I'm just noticing now, that's Detective Art Bell from Orphan Black BTW, I would fucking LOVE if you started watching Orphan Black. It's a Canadian sci-fi, it's starting Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk, Perry Mason) and has Maria Doyle Kennedy, Michael Mando (Scorpion in Spider-Man Homecoming), Matt Frewer, and julian Richings
There's a reason why they don't take out (some) dead people's names from the opening credits. Seeing as you're already in Season 2, I'm sure you've seen why this is.

He probably will still taste like fish ...
Love that Chrisjen says she's safe as long as she plays an old fool, but she knows what's going on. That's Chrisjen's stealth magic.
Definitely a “chess not checkers” thinker

"I'm sorry, he can have his hat back."
That's the sweetest, funniest thing you've said!
Thomas Jane did such an amazing job this season going from a guy you begrudgingly follow along with to a guy you really want to root for.
Gotta love Chrisjen. When she thinks things might be getting dangerous, her reaction is to get her _husband_ to safety! Not herself! Hollywood doesn't have a lot of badass grandmas, and she's pretty near the top of the list!
That is a turnabout from the usual trope of the powerful man getting his wife to safety.
I really wish Brian George had been able to reprise the role of her husband later in the show. Most awkward casting move of the series.
If you had a cinnamon roll like Arjun Avasarala you'd get him to safety too.
'I don't want Miller to die....' warmed my heart. I had a feeling you'd come round 💖. Also, yes, we love Amos... pine away 😁😁

People could think he does it for securety concerns. Paper cannot be hacked.
And those pencils are a great way to smuggle data.

I’m loving season 2 so far!
@@funnylilgalreacts Oh you're already watching it, I love it. Hopefully that means we'll have a video soon. 😉
Season 2 is great. 3 is my personal fave. But it's all good.
@@funnylilgalreacts
Oh you ain't seen nothing yet!! If you're in Season 2 the Expanse adventure is just beginning for you😃
Enjoy.
Don’t know who told you not to overthink it. You’re asking all the right questions.
So many relevant questions being asked pre-episode it's awesome.
Great reaction. Its a testament to how well the show is written that you bonded with all the characters. Loads more twists and turns to come. One of the best shows on tv in the last ten yrs. Love how youve fallen in love with so quickly. Cant wait to watch more of your reactions. :)
Thanks a bunch for the bonus round, this was a pleasant surprise. This show is littered with intriguing characters, a lot of small interactions are left on the cutting room floor but I do believe the authors and the rest of the crew whittled it all down in the best way they could have, especially considering all of the juggling going on behind the scenes.
The "everything I loved was dying" was a reference to the work he was doing with his family, environmental protection stuff.
There are lots of mysteries, and you are touching upon a number of them. I cant say more than that :D You are not supposed to understand any of it yet, and watching you theorize is truly part of the fun :)
I've just discovered your channel and really enjoying it. It's helping me get thru a busted wrist. I found myself telling you to breathe at the beginning, even knowing this is the past. Thank you.
29:28 THAT look. Right there. We all shared that look when it first aired. Can't wait to see how your theory changes now.
The dribble (or: buns) is what makes your videos very distinct. I love those musings!
Looking forward to the videos to come.
Edit: some unsolicited recommendation coming up.
If you want to cover more very well written hard SF in the future, you could choose "For All Mankind" on Apple TV+. It's a show that starts from the question: how would things have developed if the Soviet Union actually had been to the Moon first, back in 1969.
It's equally riveting as "The Expanse", coming from Ronald D. Moore, the guy who did the excellent re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series in 2004.
"that's not going to go well for you with Amos."
Showing she knows Amos, but then doubting him. How could you doubt Amos?
just ... thank you.
thank you, thank you, thank you -- for all that you do.
You are very welcome
Great reaction.
Editor deserves a raise.🙃👍
Thank you for the great reaction, I can tell you really appreciate this show. New subscriber, I was a little concerned for you while you were getting emotional. Not for now, but there will be an emotional price to pay for some of the staggeringly beautiful scenes and plot lines that are coming.
They are all worth it, though!
You always post these as I am in bed looking for something to fall asleep to... Perfect timing. I love watching the rest the following day 😂
I'm sure somebody else has already mentioned this, but if you want some perspective on the size of the Nauvoo, in the books it's described as "so huge four Donnager-class Martian warships can be tucked inside and still have room to spare".
I remember season 2 seeming like it took forever to get here. I am glad you don't have to wait like that too like you talked about.
I’m so happy I get to watch it immediately after finishing season 1. That cliffhanger would’ve killed me!
You have a really enjoyable way of reacting and commenting. Very cool video cutting, too. :)
really luv hearing u talk, and your takes on this show
I’m 2 years late. Sorry. Just found this amazing reaction channel. All I gotta say is. I wish somebody would look at me like you do to Amos. Haha I love it. The expanse is one of my fav sci-fi shows. I’m going to watch all of ur reactions
24:44 ngl for some reason you saying "atta boy" is so satisfying idk why xD
Wheel of Time!!! It's Aaaaaa-mazing! 😊
The simple fact that reactors feel it necessary to expound on details of what they've watched and make predictions for future episodes, really shows why this series is so amazing. Instead of dumbing down for audiences and constantly using endless exposition, the creators chose to trust the audience and concentrate on suspense, intrigue, and plot twists that when fully explained much later it just creates that WOW factor for Sci Fi lovers. Or really anyone that loves good story telling.
Just a fun little tid bit the name of the episode is that name of the first book.
And that it's the same for all the books hahah
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from your reaction when you seeing Amos shoot millers friend, wasn’t quite expecting a “I love Amos” moment tho 😂😂
And now you see where the missing riot gear from Ceres ended up, as well as the Loca Griegas gang that left the water funneling operation with the kid Diogo.
Please, don't make any pause between seasons, lol, I can't wait.
Btw, I love Miller's character. It's one of my favs along with another I can't mention yet.
Watching you thirst over Wes Chatham makes me giggle. I, as a straight man, also thirsts over him. Without a doubt my favorite character from any show.
Great Reaction.. thanks for sharing.
2 expanse video this week??? I'm certainly not gonna complain
😏
@26:48 That’s how guys great each other in general. 👍🏼
Seems like your reaction to Holden & Miller's conditions was especially powerful because of your personal professional experience working with radiation and your awareness of its effects. Cool to see. Thankfully, (as you've seen by now, given that your Patreon is apparently a couple weeks ahead), they have really advanced medicine in this future... yay!
Sweet reaction! Can't wait for you doing season 2 and also meet 2 new characters (one of which is probably my favourite in the show)!
Why does Holden know they were hit with a deadly dose of radiation? Because his hand terminal warned him about that. Those things have built in detectors for stuff like that for savety reasons. You can see the red radiation hazard symbol flashing on his screen when it happens. I guess he didn't react faster because he was still in disbelieve about what he was witnessing.
Great insight as always. Hugs for the fear of losing Miller. I felt the same way. Just a heads up about the Ty and That Guy podcast: There are a couple of unintentional Season 5 spoilers in the early episodes of the podcast, so maybe hold off on watching it until your second watch of The Expanse. Yes, you know you're going to rewatch, and watch episode by episode in tandem with the podcast. Enjoy!
Think about this as a cliffhanger...when you don't know if there'll be a second season. Flashbacks to Battlestar Galactica 😅
The stairwell isn't as scary as it looks. Eros has 0.3 g centrifugal accelaration at it's surface. The closer to the axis of rotation you go, the lower it gets but even at the edge 0.3 is very manageable. You could propably just catch the ladder again if you slip and holding on does take a third of the effort it does on earth.
Oh boy, the look on my face several episodes ago when you were talking about "every time you start to like a character they die" and then jokingly said you liked miller so he would die.
YAYYY for team Amos!!! :D AmosAmosAmosAmosAmosAmos!!! 'Murdersnuggles'!!
I love it when characters are Amos-ly coded. :D
Your reactions to this are going to be the highlight of my week. :)
The name of the security company is CMP Carne de la Machina.
For the radiation exposure, your profession likely puts you as closer to expert, but the x-rays are relatively focused, only open long enough for the film exposure, where your exposure will be the little bit that bounces around the room before losing energy. In the show, the radiation dose is framed as a focused dose of a high level of what's likely gamma radiation (based on the radiation being contained in a room with thick walls).
So, it is definitely plausible for a brief exposure to the wrong type of radiation to be deadly.
When you get through the series, the actor who plays Amos has a podcast with one of the writers of the books. I think I'll wait to tell you the name of it until after a certain point in the show because the title is not really spoiler-y but kinda maybe is? Anyway, I think you would enjoy it. They go over each episode and also talk film and life and sometimes have the other actors on as guests.
The reason that Miller got sick faster is because his immune system and overall health was a lot worse. It was stated in a earlier episode that he was an orphan on the station and had gotten inferior/expired immune /growth supplementation shots. That’s also the cause of the messed up spine protuberance on his neck.
Remember that Havelock survived being crucified by Kathari, so we know that the medical acumen has advanced quite a bit.
You couldn't have a better friend than Amos. At the same time he'd also be the last person you'd ever want against you.
If Holden told me he was pissed with me I'd say"Ok mate". If Amos said that most people wouldn't even see the "me-shaped' blur as I flew past them, and like Forrest I wouldn't stop running for years.
Great reaction and love the Nirvana shirt 👍
Miller is probably significantly older than Holden so it makes sense that his body would deteriorate faster from radiation exposure.
Watched the series then read/ listened to the books. coming back to the series and seeing what changed feels weird. xD
Holden and Miller were hit by sufficient radiation in the bunker to immediately turn a dosimeter black.
One of the best scenes with Amos next episode!
The coffee meeting between two dudes? Yep 😈
So ends the detective story and now begins the monster movie 🙂
The machine keeps trying to switch to Hospice -- Means that AI of the medical bay computer is considering Miller and Holden "terminal care patients" and tries to switch to "pain management until they die" instead of trying to treat the radiation poisoning. It thinks they can't be saved. Meanwhile Amos keeps having to set it back to "triage and treat" so it will assess the problem and treat the problem.
Holden is Earth born, while Miller is Belt born. The difference in gravity and environment would likely account for Holden's denser tissue mass, and possibly better general health, thus increased tolerance for the same exposure to radiation, hence tot showing symptoms as soon, and being in overall better condition upon reaching the ship than Miller.
Saying that Naomi is OPA is sort of like a post-Civil War American saying that somebody is "an Indian." Every faction of the OPA is like a different Indigenous Nation, made up of many tribes.
You are starting to learn the nature of the characters in this show I can tell you this next week will be enlightening.
Degraf was never a Martian. He was an Earther. He was the UN’s AMBASSADOR to Mars. But he and his husband ADMIRED Mars and the Martian people. So much that they planned to retire there.
He also was doing self-designated “secret investigation“ of the mystery starship engines.
"Being in charge is a shit job." Amen, at least if you're being a good leader.
they say everyone has a type they are attracted to. As far as I can tell, 99.999% of women would say Wes Chatham is their type.
😅 he’s “that guy” 😏
@@funnylilgalreacts just curious, how far you in the series?
2x7 was the last reaction recorded
@@funnylilgalreacts ahh. congrats continuing after 2×5. looking forward to upcoming reactions.
Nice reaction. So many shows have memorable OMG moments but im not sure any have as many WTF moments as The Expanse.:) Strap in cause S2 and S3 Expand in sacle and intensity.
Expansion of the Expanse 😎 I’m ready!
Welcome to the Screaming Firehawks!
12:40 oh shit, I'm just noticing now, that's Detective Art Bell from Orphan Black
BTW, I would fucking LOVE if you started watching Orphan Black. It's a Canadian sci-fi, it's starting Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk, Perry Mason) and has Maria Doyle Kennedy, Michael Mando (Scorpion in Spider-Man Homecoming), Matt Frewer, and julian Richings
Opening dribble and ending dribble as chapter names of the reaction, nice. Good dribble though, worth listening to. 👍
There's a reason why they don't take out (some) dead people's names from the opening credits.
Seeing as you're already in Season 2, I'm sure you've seen why this is.
