Hey hey hey.... We told you the physics of ROCKETS is incredibly accurate. We never said anything about mysterious goo they may find! But seriously, no one wants to spoil anything about the goo until you learn stuff from the show yourself! I'm glad you got to enjoy it in the same way as so many of us did!
You should have warned me about the goo, damnit! What kind of people are you for not warning me about the GOO!? Haha, no I am so glad nothing was spoiled and I got to consume the show in that way. I cannot wait for more goo.

Hey, good to see you again, Beratna. Just a passing comment about your intro (and I know you were messing with us), "breaking THE laws of physics" is a reach. More like "breaking the KNOWN laws of physics". Go back 100 years, and think of what a 'hard' sci-fi story would be like back then. We are just starting to learn about how shit works in this universe. Referring to Earth as a 'pale blue dot' -- that iconic image from Voyager 1, and Carl Sagan's incredible description of it. Nice reference! Naomi's decision to deceive her crew and preserve the PM... THAT was a decision. Chrisjen's hellfire speech was not JUST for Mao, and I think Errinwright understood that, at some level. Paradigm shift is a term that could be used to describe the change when the Epstein Drive was discovered, and the outer planets could be exploited and colonized (well, the moons anyway). Does it also apply to whatever we saw at the end of this episode? This show is SO GREAT, at this point in my first watch, I had NO IDEA what to expect, but I knew it was going to be amazing. And no spoiler -- I was right! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Good to see you too my friend! Yes great point about physics vs known physics. Just trying to be a big old troll there hahaha. And yes I agree whole heartedly about Chrisjen's speech, where she was basically telling Errinwright, I know...I effing know...
The panels that were destroyed in space were reflectors that directed, concentrated the light from the sun down to the greenhouse domes below, on Ganymede (a moon of Jupiter. It is the largest moon in the solar system, bigger than both the planet Mercury and the dwarf planet, Pluto!). The big mirrors were required since at this distance the sun's light is very very weak.
It’s so enjoyable watching people react to things that happen in the show. I wish I could do it again, but I can’t. So I’m just arching you going through it. Enjoy!
It is why reaction channels exist. I watched so many before starting my own to live vicariously through others. People who don't understand why reaction channels are so popular just don't get it. Thanks for being here.
15:03 consider, when Fred Johnson says that he's always been straight with Holden, that he did not at any point tell Holden that he found some critical intelligence on the Protogen stealth ships stashed away on a corpse that he promised Holden he would handle respectfully
Math nerds have crunched the numbers on Epstein’s final flight. By the time his ship ran out of fuel, factoring in the sustained compounding acceleration, his ship was moving at 85% of light speed. In excess of 200,000 kilometres… per second 🤯
In the books they say Epstiens ship is a few light years out and can be seen with a powerful telescope if i remember rightly. Also the show had a linguist to flesh out the belter creole. There is a youtube video with him.
Yeah I think they described it as "the greatest Viking funeral of all time" because with a sufficiently powerful telescope you could just still see his ship(which contained his corpse) flying into the great unknown of interstellar space. I imagine he surpassed Voyager I and will probably be a scientific curiosity for decades, or perhaps centuries.
The great thing about this series is that it's *truly* Lovecraftian, not in the "scary tentacle monsters with unpronouncable names" but in the sense that everything is realistic af and the strange things are so far outside established logic that it *cant* truly be understood not because it's "supernatural" but because it follows other trains of logic than our brains do so we have simply no access. And since I know you're obviously ahead of the tube: this doesn't change and it actually does not change a thing about the fact that humans are always worse to each other anyway😓. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Great point about humans vs. humans trumping any horror that any author could ever come up with. Being that I am from the same state as Lovecraft, I know what you are talking about. He created some great fiction. I just cannot champion him unfortunately due to his real world views on race.
The huge, shiny panels in orbit of Ganymede were mirrors. They capture, redirect, and focus sunlight from our sun so they can grow crops on Ganymede under artificially-constructed domes. The reason why Ganymede is so important is that it's the only other body in our entire solar system with a magnetosphere, apart from Earth. A magnetosphere is generated by internal, ferrous metallic elements undergoing extreme movement and tension in a body's core. Earth's magnetosphere comes from our planet's rapidly spinning iron core. Ganymede's magnetosphere is created by those same ferrous elements experiencing extreme tension from Jupiter's tidal forces. Why does a magnetosphere matter? It keeps out and deflects most of the harmful radiation and cosmic rays that are just flying around space all the time. So Ganymede's surface isn't being bombarded by the same level of radiation and death that most everywhere else in the solar system is. This makes it an ideal place to grow crops on a mass scale. It also makes it an ideal place for pregnant women in the belt to come and give birth in the hopes of their children having the fewest defects possible. But now that is ruined. Earth and Mars just couldn't keep it in their pants, and they started a shooting war in Ganymede's orbit. The mirrors are utterly destroyed. And now the Belt's breadbasket is completely fucked, and Belters are even more screwed than the normally are. Except this will be an even slower death. Three minutes without air, you're dead. Three days without water, you're dead. But three weeks without food, and you're dead. Except you're going to suffer A LOT before you starve to death. I'd rather just suffocate and get it over with.
I think I speak for everybody here when I say that we are now the “FUCK CONNECTICUT” community! 😅 fantastic reaction as per usual sir! I hope you read the books as well, have a great one!
I don't know about Connecticut but I think Baltimore sucks thanks to this series. And my heart goes out to the people of Baltimore after that bridge collapse recently. But Amos' Baltimore is basically hell on Earth.
Hahahahahahahaha oh noooo, I don't want to start that at all but I do appreciate the loyalty my friend! I will say that it is decently clear that Connecticut would rather be associated with New York than with the rest of New England and dirty dirty racist Boston. I grew up in Rhode Island and lived in Boston for seven years (made most of my good friends there) and I will defend New England until my dying breath. Boston is no more racist than any other big city in America (**cough**Dallas**cough**). It just seems like Connecticut is not with us. I literally have heard people who live in western Connecticut say that they are from New York. Thanks for the compliment on the reaction and I will be reading the first book real soon!
Yeah, I love realistic science in a show and it's IMPOSSIBLE to explain exactly what this show is about without spoiling. Hahaha. It's SUPER PLAUSIBLE... until it isn't.

@@adamwells9352 Like, being closer to 100% efficiency? Possible if implausible, we don't know how. You could theoretically set up a loop of hyperdense material to spin and pull ships through at great speed. Theoretically possible, but... what kind of material could be as dense as neutron matter, hold together, and spin at close to the speed of light? Uh. And then you have wtfery like negative matter, which can be described but there isn't a shred of evidence such a thing could exist. But if it DID...
@@wtimmins I'm more scientifically literate than most (not that you'd have any reason to believe that), and I do recognize that this is effectively impossible under our current understanding of physics. But! I think it may be just a kind of opposite-hubris to assume that our current understanding of the universe is enough for us to be confident about what is or isn't possible. (This is a little like the debate on the Arbogast, if you ask me...)
No, Belter Creole isn't as well laid-out as Tolkien's work. Tolkien was a linguist first, a world-builder second, and a storyteller third. The world he created was primarily to give his languages a world to live in, the stories were almost afterthoughts. Belter Creole is also based on existing Earth languages which meant expanding it from the few phrases used in the books into a full language was mostly a matter of remixing those languages in a realistic way compared to Tolkein inventing his languages entirely from scratch, then developing languages that evolved out of them over thousands of years. That's not to say that Belter Creole _isn't_ a well laid-out language, it was also developed by a linguist who was commissioned to do so for the TV series, however, comparing it to Tolkien's work is like comparing Danny Elfman to Mozart or Beethoven. It's good, it's simply an unfair comparison.
It's funny, I was just going to compliment you on your lighting! The light from outside was dim when you started, and it was dark outside by the time you finished. The thing I would suggest trying first is to simply hang a bit of fabric from the ceiling in front of that dome light, to shield it from being in a direct line of sight to the camera. The camera is already doing a heroic job of auto-balancing the light, if you simply make its job easier it might dramatically improve the results without much effort.
HAHAHA ok no no! Got a compliment! Not changing anything now! Ha! But that is a good suggestion. Man would it just look so wonky visually though; a piece of square fabric just hanging there....I'll have to think about it. I am just glad that the piece that I struggle with is the lesser of the two necessities, between visual and audio. I worked on audio for 12 years before starting this channel.
It's always bugged me in a minor way that Epstein was driving back into his seat before the engine powered on. It should have been the other way around...I could convince myself that it took a moment for the engine to come to full burn before Epstein's inertial pinned him to his seat. Amos had realized the change in Holden and Naomi's relationship immediately. Psychologists who are fans of the show call that "hyper-vigilence" and say it's often the symptom of a severely abused childhood. Holden had consistently resisted seeing the Belter point of view (which Holden called "Belter bullshit") despite how Miller and Naomi tried to make him understand. That made him, ultimately, an unreliable ally to the Belter cause, as opposed to Johnson, who appears to have totally thrown his allegiances to the Belters. It also meant Naomi couldn't trust Holden's judgement of what was best for Belters. At first Naomi distrusted Fred, but now she clearly trusts him to do good for the Belt. Did you notice the little girl in the window waving to the Marines on Ganymede? And, true, the destruction of Ganymede as a food source definitely would lead to a humanitarian disaster. Paradigm shifts: The Epstein Drive. Avasarala revealing that she is knows about Mao and Errinwright; her role in the Eros incident gives her some protection from Errinwright's machinations. Whatever happened on Ganymede. Naomi acting in direct opposition to Holden.
The episode was aptly titled definitely! And good insight on Amos there. I cannot wait to hear more about his backstory. Might be a reason why he sees Naomi as a big sister protector. And I did not notice the little girl. Too bad she is dead now.
@@irishlatinoreacts1842 No matter what title you choose for an episode, people will find an explanation of that. Actually, they will find multiple explanations.
You were never played. This show's physics _is_ one of the most realistic you will see in any television series. (The absolute best would be the movie Marooned...and it's debatable whether that movie is even science fiction, because there was nothing in it that didn't already exist at least in prototype). Just like "2001: A Space Odyssey," once you get to an advanced species that knows more about physics than we do...bets are off. Not even Michelangelo or Newton could figure out a cell phone if one were time-travelled back to them.
Naomi just betrayed her family. Not good. I think Holden is completely correct. There shouldn't be any sides. I look at Chrisjen's hell fire speech in two ways. One, she is making very clear that she wants PJ Mao and Erinwright to know that she is playing around anymore! Two, you sense a vulnerability in her voice from the fear of Earth almost being destroyed. WTF is that!? 😂
Well, people've been saying 'There shouldn't be any sides' for millennia. And what has come of it? Today there are more sides than ever. In the future there will be even more.

@@y00t00b3r The struggle is real!
It didn't break the laws of physics, It's that humans undstanding of the laws is either incomplete or wrong.. lol
UN and MCRN ships in orbit around Ganymede began exchanging fire, and the mirrors providing sunlight to the Ganymede domes were collateral damage.
So I guess I have to appreciate that the UN and MCRN started firing at each other, each thinking the other was the instigator. That is interesting!

WTF is that!? 😂
I think Holden is unrealistically idealistic about thinking that there shouldn't be any sides.
Well, people've been saying 'There shouldn't be any sides' for millennia. And what has come of it? Today there are more sides than ever. In the future there will be even more.
no breathers in the Expanse sorry
But but but but....

Are you pointing that out because it looks phallus shaped?
That would have been a great eplogue to Epstein's flashbacks. Too bad they weren't able to include it 😞
huh? you lost me. What do you mean by "that"?
