In the books, they described the creator of Epstein Drive and his ship still hurtling into space as "The best, longest funeral in the history of mankind."
That's beautiful
That "ship" that got destroyed was actually a giant mirror used to reflect light down to Ganymede's farms. Ganymede is a joint Mars-Earth station that provides food to the belt.
And to add further emphasis, Ganymede is responsibly for a fairly high two-digit percentage of the food in the Belt. That one mirror (let alone the others) means potentially thousands or tens of thousands of people eventually starving unless something changes.
And there is no substitute. Ganamede is the only other planet in the system with a magnetosphere. It's super prime real-estate.
Ahhhh The Expanse 2x06...otherwise known as "The one where Chrisjen ran straight out of fu*ks to give"
the most accurate way to describe this episode.
Yup!
@watashi That's a good observation.
"Look at me! I'm the captain now!"
Chrisjen enters a room nice and eloquent...then she burns the whole place down.
And then strolls out just as sexy as she wanna be! That last little look as she closed the office door said it all: "I got your number b*tch. Don't cross me."
I love how she just peeked in, "hey can I bother you for sec?" - Then builds her moment. Full control.
with a smile
The way Chrisjen threatened was not only intended against Maos family, but against Errinwright too.
I think he shat himself there, I mean i would :O
The sequence with Epstein ended with him saying "technology changes everything." Then the episode ends with a protomolecule-looking creature attacking Bobby and her team. And the episode is named "Paradigm Shift."
This series literally gets better and bigger with every episode.
Julie was the "seed crystal" for the stuff on Eros.
This episode is the beginning of the second book.
Chrisjen is scary. She's awesome and I love her, but she is scary.
The Expanse is a masterpiece Tv show, and it is the most "realistic" concerning how things work in space.
Steven " she is a scary-ass person" Nikki " i love her" 😂
Chrisjen Avarsarela is the living avatar of Nemesis, the Goddess of Vengence.
"Mommy! The mean UN lady is raining Hellfire down on me!"
21:54 Ganymede is the seventh moon of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system (it's larger than _the planet Mercury,_ though only 45% as massive), and the only moon known to have a magnetic field, which, together with its size and mass, led _both_ the UN (Earth) and Mars to use it as a breadbasket (agricultural colony) for the outer solar system and the belt (hence the now shattered orbital mirrors... there's not a lot of sunlight, out there); the incident in this episode happened at the border between UN and Martian territories, which Bobbie and her squad were patrolling).
The gravity and magnetosphere also make it a preferred spot for those Belters who can afford it to give birth, since they heavily reduce the chance of birth defects, stillbirths, and other microgravity or radiation induced complications.
Last episode was the end of book 1. This was, technically, the start of book 2. Which is why last week felt like a finale and this one a new beginning. And hang on to your butts, because it only 'escalates quickly' from here.
And why shit's even more confusing than usual. We're just getting the first pieces of a new puzzle, might not even have found any of the corners yet.
Nikki, it's okay! Steven is right, the confusion is intended. Y'all will piece it together in time.
I was confused also when I first saw the episode.
Yep, there's lots of hints for what's going on in this and past episodes as always, but the beauty of those hints is in only realising their significance in retrospect once the show tells you more. And you realise how beautifully set up the whole show is. If you work it out in advance hats off that's great, but I prefer being baffled and then amazed at the reveal.
Miller's last words to Diogo was "Go and get laid kid".
Great comment 👌
Well great heroic tales are often polished a little by the survivors to make themselves look better.
"Live! you must live!!"
Ganymede (Jupiter moon) is one of the two "Bread Baskets" of the Solar Systems run by Belters mostly. Earth and Mars have stations there protecting their interests. We heard last episode that Bobby and her unit was going to be on "Farm duty" there and very unhappy about it. We saw the Sun-reflecting mirrors (for the crops) shattered in orbit and land on Bobby's battle field as whatever it was happened and a Drone flew over head.
Boddy's unit and their UNN counter parts ("shadows" they called them) was who they fought with. We don't know much about it than that at this point. It appears they charged MCRN lines, which is an act of war, under normal circumstances.
We are unsure what happened in space that started the firing as Bobby's team was jammed and could not report being charged.
You're meant to be very confused, don't worry.
Especially at the start of the battle, your confusion mirrors that of Gunny and her squad.
This is the kinda of show that you can re-watch to see what you missed the first go around.
johncrab67 I’ve watched this show at least 3 times and season one more than that and I catch things I’ve missed every time. ❤️
😶☝️ This man speaks wisely and truely.
I will rewatch from the start in all shows I love when a new season starts so I'm a small bit confused watching for the first time but I'm definitely going to watch this again. I'm only on season two right now and I'm loving it but I'll have to watch for things iv missed
So I get your confusion. This will not be a spoiler, but the last episode with Miller and Julie represents the end of the first novel. So they actually went half-way into season two to finish it. That's why you were picking up on the transition. This episode represents the beginning of the second book. Glad your liking it. It's amazing x10.
The creators insisted on adapting the WHOLE story of the Expanse books, not drastically condensing "book one" to fit into "Season 1" etc. Thus the END of Book One happens in Episode 5 of Season 2. So what we're seeing now is the mystery that puts book 2 into motion: just as book one is about the "Eros Incident", book 2 is about "the Ganymede Incident".
Mid-season cliffhangers are fucking awesome and it's such a better way to tell things. You don't have to wait a year for the payoff, and the end of season cliffhangers can be more reflective and contemplative.
Love that scene when Holden tells Amos and Alex.😂👉👂
I've always suspected that the 'wet willie' part was Wes Chatham improvising, and the director liking it enough to lave it in.
@@rasmuskjrbyepetersen8862 Very likely. I bet Alex was just happy not recieving a punch from Amos.😄
@@danorm87 Alex probably was. Cas Anwar seemed just a little grossed out. 😂
Started this series when you announced it on this channel and after i finished it i was like "Omygod i can't wait for them to react to it!!!"
fede mona, love comments like this. The more people watch the show, the more likely we’ll get to watch it till the end. Reactors like N&S are providing a public service giving it more exposure.
Same here.
I watched about three episodes and thought, "This is different."
I restarted it because I had gone into it in "generic sci-fi mode" and needed to give it more attention.
I just find it hard to believe that this isn't discussed like GOT. Nobody i know has watched it.
Maybe it needs tits and ass, to grab attention.
Maybe not.
Nikki. Those facial expressions when Steven says “SCREAMIN FIREHAWKS!” your face just reads...”sorry my guys” and then you shrugged. Killllllling meeeee :)
Same when he would say “Jon SNOOOOOOW”
This is the show, where all the "Mystery Boxes" are planned for. And at the end of the day, everything will be cleared up. But slowly, and only if you pay attention.
No shock effects just for the sake of effect.
#18:50 She is the Queen of the Earth. I was rolling when she said oh you will tell them? thank you and she started the "message" with PLEASE. We shall never see her like again.
Always love your reactions! Since you asked for some context, Bobbie's squad was on Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons. A couple episodes ago, Bobbie complained about being assigned to "farm patrol", because Ganymede is where most of the food eaten in the Belt is grown. Both Earth and Mars have troops on Ganymede because they both want the Belters to stay alive and mining, since asteroid belt resources keep the economies of Earth and Mars afloat. That big shiny thing you saw just get shattered was an enormous orbital mirror, which was in orbit to give extra sunlight to the greenhouses on Ganymede, since Jupiter is much further from the Sun than Earth is.
More like sole control of Ganymede by either inner world would be completely unacceptable to the other, because that food supply is power. I doubt they give a fuck about the Belters not eating well.
You know what I love in general about Expanse and your reaction? After every episode you are just full of questions and need to know more. The show surprise you so many times but even then you get caught cos you still have no idea, where the show bring you next. Love The Expanse. I am happy you guys enjoy it.
The episode where Avasarala unleashes full on beast mode, yo.
You should rewatch closely the scene where the UN marines are charging the Martians. Might understand a bit better what's going on.
The devil is (quite literally) in the details... ;)
can you really see what is going on? i was under the impression, that when seeing it later, it was edited so that you can clearly see what's going on. also, the testemony (i try to avoid spoilers here, even if they are mild) made it easier to understand what is going on. but really, it would be interesting to know if they can figure it out BEFORE they see the next episodes :D
I just finished this episode and i went back to rewatch and at first it was 6 marines and then 7 , the one all the way in the back was definitely the 👽.
wish i could go back and experience the series through fresh eyes again. buckle up. the ride is just beginning.
Honestly this is the first episode where this entire series plot started to reveal itself to me. I have to thank you both. Your journey watching this show inspired me to give it another go because I had quit previously in season 1. Naomi loyalty is to the Belt despite the fact she signed onto the Cantebury and ultimately ended up on the Rocinante. Keep that in mind with her decision to not destroy the protomolecule. Mao's influence is ever reaching because of his massive wealth. Therefore, Chrisjen's choice to suffocate it is the best course of action in defense especially while she is trying to determine the ultimate goal in his instigating of war between Earth and Mars. The war for Mao is a smoke screen while he finds a way to monopolize and perfect the protomolecule. History is repeating itself with the attack on the Mars military as it did with Pheobe Station and Eros. Keep going and watch that rabbit hole get deeper and deeper. Great reaction! Enjoy!
The answers you are looking for are forthcoming, you arent supposed to know yet. I will give you one answer that has been mentioned previously... Gunny's Mars Marine squad got assigned a couple episodes back to guard the agricultural domes on Ganymede, one of the moons of Jupiter, the biggest grower of food products for the whole system. A war there would be disastrous.....
You just have to remember... the impact of Eros into Venus was the conclusion of Book 1, the reason shit is confusing now is because it's the start of Book 2.
I liked Diogo. Even though he has a bit of a heel turn. His being a polyglot, a language expert made his part and his speaking lang belta to be perfectly believable.
Josephus Miller, upon meeting James Holden, said, "Shit seems to just follow you around, kid."
oh okay, I understand your confusion. When Julie is referred to as the 'seed crystal', they just mean that she brought it to Eros and was the source of the outbreak at that location.
Edit: Epstein invented the Epstein drive which is used by all ships for interplanetary travel. Its one of the main technologies that separates the Expanse from the ones we generally know today, as it allows for _much_ faster and efficient travel at those distances.
It doesn't really matter what the drives that Chrisjen was tracking were, just that she was looking for the source of the stealth ships.
Been waiting for this for awhile...Let's go!...
Ganymede is a jupiter moon that is shared colony between earth and mars because its best place to grow plants. The thing that got shattered above in the sky was a giant mirror that was reflecting and enhancing sunlight into farmhouses on the surface. u should be suprised btw this episode starts a secon book which u propably know already. Anyways love the reactions. Cheers.
You're really getting through the series. So glad your enjoying it. So much more to come.
Great reaction, I think we were all a bit stumped at the end of this 1😂
It all comes together again so don't panic, I think you're keeping up pretty well considering! It's easy to look back and think that its obvious.
You are correct. You are not supposed to know yet. Also, this is the beginning of book 2, so technically the last episode was the finale of book 1. the writers decided to extend the books into the next season, so you never know when there will be an episode that feels like a finale. Good concept. All the questions you have will be answered in due time, but also at that point you will have more questions. One of the great things about this show. :)
The UN soldiers were not taken over. If you look closely you can see that they shot, but not towards Mars soldiers. They ran towards the Martians to flee from the "something".
Earlier in the season, if you remember, Bobbie (Gunny) was pissed off that they were diverted to Ganymede to "babysit some farmers". Ganymede is the breadbasket of the belt where most of the food is grown.
I would recommend watching that last segment on Ganymede closely. There are a bunch of clues on what might be happening. But don't worry, everything will be explained.
Great reactions and great questions and guesses about what’s happening. Enjoying re-watching this. with you guys.
I can't wait 4 days for more episodes 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️
This is where this shows spins to another direction, full of mysteries and thrilling episodes about to come!
Again, I am so happy that two of my favorite reactors are watching my favorite show. I am so glad you guys liked it.
Nikki, you better strap in with those notes you have, there will be a lot more to write down :)
There is no show like The Expanse.
You two are doing great thinking before, during and after the episodes, every single time. Keep going, keep thinking. The show gets your head spinning at times. But I have seen that you two have the capability to figure it out really well indeed. You do you, you will get it in the end. Trust me. :-)
*Listens to your opening theories* Mmm-hmmm, mmm-HMMM, well that's an interesting take, you're almost there....well, THAT's wrong, but I'm just gonna laugh.
*waits for your faces at the end of the episode* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ha.
Welcome to Book 2. (But no, seriously. The books and the show handle things differently, but yes. I remember when I read the second book, and THEN even when I watched the show.... "Wait, what? WHAT. What is going ON, I thought I knew but now I don't KNOW again.")
Again, SO glad you guys are watching this. So SO glad you guys really like these actors, these characters, this crew. It is a JOY. Thank you.
Again I click on here thinking "any good Expanse reactions to watch?" and here we go!
Scott Watrous just had the same experience
"any good Expanse reactions to watch?"
Me: "The best buddy, the best ;)"
GREAT Episode!!!!!!
One of the best.
Enjoy the rest of the watch, its only getting better.
It's amazing how they lead us to believe that the proto molecule only existed in Eros with the "little" experiment that caused an asteroid to become a space ship and the base they found at Thoth Station (where we saw no signs of the protomolecule or experiments, just a bunch of scientists remember) ;)
I love your reactions to this. And I miss watching this for the first time.
It was an incredibly tense situation and it only took one person reading it wrong to start a firefight.
It’s probable Earth fired first and then everyone responded in kind.
Nope .
The fighting started when the comms were jammed. Nobody knows who did that yet, but it's always considered a hostile act. Both sides likely responded by pushing the "Fire" button hard enough to damage it.
@@TheDetailsMatter You need to see the other episodes.I don't want to ruined it for you.
The battle in the end took place at Ganymed, what is one of the Moons of Jupiter. It is the biggest Moon of our Solar System. In the Show the UN and MCR share the Moon to do agriculture and food production there. That`s why there was a border to be patroled by both sides.
And additional fact, in case you did not know: 2x5 is the final of book Nr. 1 and so 2x6 is the start of book Nr. 2.
And to Steven ... in my opinion you`re totally right about the storytelling. One can have faith in the writers.
Just reacted to this one on Tuesday! New crazy things going on! Are those alien creatures protomolecule creatures? We both wonder why Erynwright looks at Crisjen in that creepy way! Like Nikki I also thought that Epstein survived cause he was telling the story, but commentors said that he did stroke out and die and his ship is still going!
Don't worry you aren't supposed to know whats going on right now, all you need to know is that Ganymede (where Gunny was) is a joint food station, lots of farming families and food, that it's solar powered mirrors have just been destroyed and gunnys team were attacked, that is literally all you are supposed to know right now. The show sets up a LOT but it ALWAYS delivers answers so if you ever feel confused just be patient and you'll be told in no time whats happening.
Ha ha ha ....just when you thought you had a handle on what was going on or even what the show is about......baaaaaammmmmm! This show is going to rip your brains out and throw them on the floor!!!! You guys are so much fun to watch!! Love ya......
It's supposed to be a little confusing because the show acts like a mystery detective story. They first present you with the mystery, then (episode by episode) they present you with the clues that connects to what's going on deeper in the story which eventually leads the audience to the big reveal. It's the unknown that frightens us and keeps us on the edge of our seat and it's our curiosity to know what's going on keeps us coming back for more. But trust me all your questions will be answered, so fasten your seat belts because here comes the juice.
Guys the UN marines were running from that thing not charging the Mars marines.
The good stuff is just starting!!! This one confused me too but it does all get explained very well. I think the big things you need to know right now is a) Julie was a host mind for the proto molecule on Eros, but it was not first contact. So think of that as a "strain" of the protomolocule. B) Gunny and the Martians were on Ganymede. A moon on Jupiter where there is a farming colony that supplies both Mars and the belt. The UN and the Martians share a very tense presence there. So what happened looked like an act of war. Also, I hope this isn't too close to a spoiler, but Holden and the others are mainly concerned with the protomolocule's use as a weapon. So that ties the politics back in.
It's fun having read all the books and seen all the series so far to watch Steve and Nikki try to make sense of this episode by episode, this is just a great piece of Sci Fi, I really hope Amazon keep going on with this.
I love your theories Steven. :)
I feel like you guys are going to feel like Soloman Epstien with what is about to be thrown at you. Enjoy the ride.
Come on guys, no need to spoon feed them, leave them a little to figure out on their own. :P
This episode is the beginning of the second book so thats why it feels like theyre starting a whole new story arc. Miller and Julie crashing into Venus is the ending of the first book and the Epstein drive stuff is from a novella they released between the books
If you're an STEM focused person, this series is especially loaded with "science easter eggs," that make you really appreciate the research behind the series compared to other sci-fii franchises/shows. A lot less hand-waving magic science that really adds to the appreciation of the writing/production.
Absolutely agree! When it comes to the scientific content in the show they get as much "right" as can be done and still allow room for drama and all the other awesome qualities that make a series special.
You guys started figuring it out ;) go rewatch the whole ending again. Pay REALLY close attention.
You guys still have no clue the epicness that's coming and I can't tell you how excited I am to see you react to it!
How about that ending huh? This shit is far from over.
I love that speech from Avasarala. That was some badass shit.
Why am I thinking whatever the fuck at the end of this episode was like a Husk from Mass Effect?
To me it almost looked like the Marines that were running toward Gunny and her crew were firing at something behind them and weren’t actually charging/attacking the Martians... just spit-balling. I could be totally confused and way off.
The Epstien Drive was Instrumental in allowing ships to explore the Solar System due to it's amazing fuel efficiency. It allowed for High Sustained Thrust with minimal fuel usage......
Patience, young grasshoppers - all your questions will be answered (eventually)
all of the footage about solomon epstein was written up from the Novella "Drive", techincally the first thing in the chronology
This was the beginning of the next book. Welcome to the Expanse. Great world building
23:04
As always, a pleasure to watch you watch.
Anticipated the Jon Moxley reference as soon as I saw the title. You won't find any "Unscripted Violence" on this show.
I was fully expecting the lockdown to mean you guys would finally crack into Sons of Anarchy! Please give it a go next, it’s an unbelievably epic show on so many levels.
..."a whole bag of 'what the fuck." LOL, priceless!
Been waiting for this reaction for a loooooong time
Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy!! It is such a joy observing you guys' reaction to this amazing show!!!! It has so much rewatchability!! I cannot wait for you guys to check out STAR TREK DISCOVERY and WATCHMEN
Thank god, I was holding my breath, not enough brain cells left
I thought someone would have already pointed this out, but the reason the last episode seemed like a season finale is that it was the end of the first book. The series closely follows the books.
"What's that look?"
I believe the expression is "the cat that ate the canary". :)
Steven, you're thinking in the right direction. The show shows you something new, then the characters are trying to figure out what's going on. Because they also don't know what's going on.
This episode would be called "Paradigm shifts (plural)"
-The Solomon Epstein's groundbreaking invention (which costed his life) Thankfully, his wife found the blueprints and gave them to Mars who bargain the tech whith Earth to gain their independance and launch the solar system gold rush
-The whole aftermath of the "Eros situation" (political relations, sceduled scientific mission on Venus, Miller savior image...)
-The new power balance with the OPA getting the "lost" missiles
-Mao being uncover and on the run, getting Erinwright in a really dangerous position
-The final event on Ganymede wiping a significant part of martian and UN forces out in the area and revealing that "something else" is there
The actual plural would be paradigms shift. Shift is a verb.
Oh Murder Snuggles
Last episode "Home" was the end of book 1. This is the beginning of book 2
Heyo, glad you enjoyed this one. You should try counting the number of hostiles that Bobbie sees, and compare it to her description of "six UN marines..." Just a thought ;) oh, and as someone pointed out, did you see any bullets flying around Bobbie or her team, or were the bullets headed elsewhere?
All will be explained. Trust in the writers; they haven't led you wrong yet. Just like the opening to Season 1, Episode 1 with Julie Mao in the Anubis and the blue glowing mass around the fusion core, it was confusing at the start, but eventually all was explained. Steven's on the right track-- you are supposed to think, "WTF." Then you will piece it together as our characters piece it together. I think you will love this ride.
No, Earth and Mars were not looking for a fight on Ganymede. But tensions were running high after Eros, and then sh*t went down.
Think of it as the Cuban blockade. Two superpowers navies staring each other down and everyone keeping a finger on the button. It doesn't take much in a situation like that.
26:00 "This is only the start!"
The attack on Ganymede marks the beginning of the second novel. There are going to be nine. Yes. You have finished the prologue of this story.
Nikki: "If I know that Chrisjen knows that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know you know.........you know"
Me: But I don't know (p.s. Happy Anniversary)
the dude turning off voice recognition on his console before putting his ship into full thrust rendering him inert and powerless to stop it? Genious.
phil marston, he wasn’t expecting it to work that well
Steven @23:31 , If you look closer at the distant shot of the UN Marines you'll notice that they weren't charging at the Martians, instead they were being chased by that alien.
You don't suppose to know what is exactly what is going on in Gaminides just yet. It will be explained.
And last episode was the end of book 1 of the Expanse series, that why it feels like a season ending.
Deleted scene: Sadavir Errinwright looking down to his wet pants
In the last seconds of this episode, there was an explosion after Bobby rolled over... clue?.
in the book, that fight in Gynamede was cool. one martian was in a mech suit, his head still got ripped off, but seeing a martian mech suit would have been cool.
Gu, from the one hand you over complicate things, from the other, you underestimate. 😎
That statement she gave - epic!
I wish they would make an Expanse video Game it would be awesome
Yes "u r not supposed to know" what was that in the end....but u know what that is already .. but keep watching ... best one are just ahead
This episode represents the start of Book two, so expect some confusion. However, the writers (including authors Dan and Ty) do a really great job of pushing the story forward so you won't have long to wait. You'll love it even more, some great episodes ahead 🚀
I know you guys are confused but your questions will be answered and revealed with time.
The name of this episode is Paradigm Shift and what happened at the end is a part of that.
So, the reason why Home felt like a season finale and Paradigm Shift felt like a premiere is because that is actually the point where the first book ends and the second book begins.
I can asure you that the Confusion will never stop. My first Thoughts after every episode were: What the F**k.
