What is really sad, in the books, there was a whole campaign smear on Prax, where they basically accused him of r*p!no his own daughter. And that emotional seesaw he went through. And how Amos, w/ his traumatic youth, bonded w/ him, basically reminding him that Prax wasn't that kind of person. It really solidified their bond.
"It always ends with me being 'What the fuck just happened?'" One of the things I love about this show is how often I got to the end of an episode shouting "What the fuck is that blue thing?!?" and it was always *different* blue things.
I remember Ty Franck explaining in "Ty & that guy" that in the Expanse, they try to make Cliffhangers that make people wonder "What just happened?" and not "What will happen next?" because it's more interesting that way.
That scar on Dawes' neck is from their old spacesuits, which had seals that would scar them sometimes. The neck tattoos that a lot of the younger belters have mimic those scars that the "OG" belters have.
The actor who plays the Australian scientist character is actually Canadian. I know. He’s doing a bang on Aussie accent. I thought he was Australian as well.
Jared Harris is a son of the great actor Richard Harris. He always gives a great performance - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Moriarity in the RDJ Sherlock Holmes films, Sci-Fi show Fringe, Mad Men, The Terror (S1), The Crown. I'm a big fan
Sadly, one of my favorite sentences from the books didn't make it onto the show. No Spoilers, just a great moment. A melancholy celebration of Epstein. "With a good scope, you could still see his ship going at a marginal percentage of the speed of light, heading out into the big empty. The best, longest funeral in the history of mankind."
I just realized this means his drive had been burning for over 136 years at that point. That's how huge of a fuel efficiency increase the Epstein drive made.
Anderson Dawes(Jared Harris) explained the scar on his neck is from contact burns the belters would get from the old suits. I think that's why a lot of them have those neck tats. Gotta love Drummer.. she's up there with Miller and Amos for best characters. Avasarala is also the bomb.
Your struggle with the Belter culture is a very real one - they all have different ideas of how to move forward, and you have many individuals thinking they have the ability to lead. And some feel working with Earth/Mars is the best way and others will never trust them not to put their own planets first. Some feel Earth/Mars must be brought low in order to understand and to be on an even playing field. Loving your reactions!
They got cliffhangers to science. From Ty Frank: best cliffhanger is not the one when you are left with not knowing what is coming, but the one where you know, but "What does it mean?"
The Drake equation tells how many intelligent life there should be in our galaxy. The Fermi paradox asks, why we don’t see ANY of them. They are a real thing, google them. Some of the possible answers to the Fermi paradox are actually pretty scary...
@@AhegaoEinstein On a macro level, it is more a practical explanation than being pessimistic. Vast distance amplifies difficulty in communication, further exacerbate cultural value difference. However, there should be some exception in the micro level. Species that live closer together would have a much higher odds of having enough interaction that might promote enough positive interaction for some kind of working together, assuming there is not any initial species ending conflict. The alternate explanation is the great filter similar to what Colonel Janus said. And in certain light, might be more pessimistic about life itself.
The expanse only gets better and better. Hands down the most underrated television show in history. Really enjoy watching it again along with someone experiencing it for the first time. hope you continue on until the end.
Holden has a longer meta-arc as his character starts to devolve from the classical hero tropes and begins to take on negative character traits from both Miller and Amos. Keep an eye on that. It's not a "downfall-redemption" cliché, but close and subtle.
Avasarala truly is the queen. She's smart. She's fierce. She moves any way she wants as far as she wants. And she is the "go get sh*t done" piece. (paraphrasing D'Angelo Barksdale)
You're right, Avasarala is not playing checkers or chess, but she is not playing 4 dimensional hyper-chess either - she's playing whatever the fuck she wants!
Sometime you have to listen to the whole speech by Anderson Dawes. In the extras they explained that all those people being spaced were dancers just pretending to rise - they went up on their toes.
It fills me with so much joy to see someone watch this show for the first time. I'm glad you get to experience it! I'll definitely follow along with you as you go through the series, I just finished my 5th rewatch yesterday.
I think Amos Is the most accurate when saying when you have a hot friend, i mean, you dont care if he/she sleep with someone and your are not seeking to sleep with them, but if theres a chence, then yeah, you take it hahaha
Do not know if your aware, but Amos, the actor, has a talk show on here with one of the authors and they discuss the episodes, it's quite entertaining. It's called Ty and that Guy.
After you finish The Expanse, you should watch Fringe. It's another great sci-fi series, and Jared Harris plays a role in that as well - plus the main characters are awesome, the plot is *chef's kiss*, and the way everything develops is fantastic ☺️
"Step One: Find God." This isn't that she doesn't believe in aliens, it's that she knows a far more advanced alien species would do to us what colonizers do to the indigenous peoples. Even if they're nice, they'll wipe out everything that makes us what we are.
Not necessarily what would happen. Hypothetically, benevolent aliens could uplift us while respecting what makes us human, and letting us make choices. Of course, if they aren't that very best case, then we get no say in what ultimately happens. We can go kicking and screaming, but not win.
You're right that it just keeps getting better. You are super observant and insightful, but I cannot explain to you how much you're not ready for season 3. Strap in tight, Mary.
47 days until Season 6 debut, enjoy what's coming as there are some incredible episodes out there. Can't wait to catch Season 6, I hear it'll be the final season though.
The thing about this series is once a faster reaction drive is invented every nation on Earth will be sending miners to the belt where rare Earths are both abundant and not mixed with minerals. At the same time plans are already on paper for lunar and Martian bases and colonies. So what we see in this series (aside from Proto-molecule) are quite possibly in humanities future.
Crisjen gets to negotiate from a position of power though. That often gives you the ability to be calm and rational. No one is rational with a boot on their throat.
I love that the show goes out of its way to tell you and show you how badass the Martian marines are and then we watch them and the UN marines (who we can assume by proxy are also pretty badass) and then we watch them get WASHED by an unknown foe.
@5:23 that's part of the awesomeness of this show... From now on you will remember what happens in a high G burn every time you see a space scene where no one is thrown to a wall or floor when the ship starts going fast... As Solomon Epstein said "it changes everything"
I finished 5 seasons then switched to audiobooks. They're quite good actually, though a lot of changes were made in TV show. I'd split them into four groups: - Changes that were made to fix plots that were self controversial or not too realistic. - Changes that were made to lower the budget. - Additional stories based on the events that were just mentioned in the books but not shown. - Additional stories added to extend some of the characters arcs, to make them more empathising. So in my opinion some plots are better shown in the series, and some in the books, and I cannot specifically choose one above the other. They're both good in some way. Most serious changes were made in 2nd and 3rd seasons and on with seasons 4 and 5 it starts to be really close to the original script.
One thing that was conveyed in the books, that was Not portrayed in the series, during Gunny's trip to Earth, she believed that if Earth and Mars did go to war, even considering her Martian pride and fervor in support of the perceived Martian tactical and technical advantage, she had Zero doubt that Earth would win the war. She came to her conclusion based on numbers, weapons of mass destruction, governmental stability, and man power available. Oh, and that 'training' in 1-G is no where near the same as 'actual' Gravity.
Avasarala is even better in the books. They had to clean her up a bit. She is just pure gold and sarcastic all the time and her lines would be so full of bleeps that it had to be done ;)
That scene where those innocent people get spaced was brutal. It's really hard to watch, specially considering how sweet that woman was. What a horrible way to go. Poor folks didn't deserve that. But that's war I guess, and senseless violence is always a part of it.
Fun Fact, The Soloman Epstien Scenes was explaned better in the Books, After Discovering What they had, The Martian Government of the time Decided to break away from Earth All Together, But The UN was not going to allow that and Decided to send there fleet to Mars and that what Started "The Vesta Blockade" That was mentioned ealier in the series, Mars Ended The Blockade by trading the Plans for Martian Succession from the UN. And That is how The Martian Congressional Republic was Formed.
One thing always bothered me about the account of what happened on Ganymede… zero evidence from the UN. Their troops were the first to encounter the beast, and I can’t imagine that troopers in the future wouldn’t be recording their actions. Soldiers today carry body cameras after all. The UN had to have had at least something to go off of. The bodies of their troops, and damage sustained by the beast. Comms logs, aerial over watch from their ships. Something. The UN troops also engaged the monster before the signals were jammed. But there is zero mention of anything in the show. Maybe the book covers it? 🤷♂️
Mary, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you read "The Churn" sometime during your viewing of season 4. There are neat callbacks to that short novella in particular in season 5. It is pretty short, and should not take you too much time to read, but watching season 5 is really fun to watch if you had read that. Some may say it spoils the show, but honestly, the show spoils the book WAY more than the book spoils the show, and it is much more worthwhile to read it first IMHO.
It's cool to see you so interested in all the science aspects in this show. You might be interested in seeing Neil deGrasse Tyson's Cosmos docu-series. I think it does a great job presenting the concepts in an entertaining way.
Arg ok OPACITY SETTINGS. Right now the background is bleeding through the featured video image. Change the opacity settings to keep the featured video absolutely clear of any background stuff *Tries to whine helpfully*
people like dawes must have a real hard time NOT manipulating people to their benefit. I mean, they'd find doing so so very easy. Anyone they meet more than likely leaving the room an ally. Stands to reason, I guess; if you got the gift of gab, only one way to really make use of it. Only question is what you do with the power you gain.
40:50 Don't worry. If Space X's Starship project is successful, then I have no doubt that you can experience true sensation of being in space within your lifetime.
The *Drake Equation* is a calculation of how likely it is that alien life will (a) exist and (b) exist within realistic contact distance of us. It's a theoretical, as several of the variables in the equation are entirely subjective and unprovable, eg what are the odds of life arising on another planet, which we can't possibly calculate as we have a sample size of exactly one, ie Earth, and still don't know how it arose here. An optimist will come up with a high value, a pessimist will get a low value. Myself I figure a very low value. That's not to say other life doesn't exist, it's just to say that it's highly unlikely to exist near enough to us for us to discover it. It's really a thought experiment rather than a truly scientific equation. Still worth checking out as something to ponder. And the *Fermi Paradox* is basically "if the universe is 14 billion years old why haven't we encountered alien life yet? Where are they all?" This one I personally find a lot less credible. We've only been broadcasting signals into space for a little over a century, and on a relative galactic scale (let alone a universal scale) that sphere of 100 light years from Earth is infinitesimally small. For other life to find us, it would have to be either existing or travelling within that tiny 100 light year sphere of space, and just also happen to be at a technological level where they _could_ detect us - something we're barely capable of attempting ourselves. There's plenty of other sources out there discussing these ideas, definitely don't just accept my own interpretation. It's a fascinating concept to think about and I'm sure you'll reach your own conclusions. Just thought I'd share mine.
Lowda comes from Germanic roots "leute". So inyalowda = inner folk, beltalowda = belter folk and so on. "Milowda na anyimal" = my people aren't animals.
Watching you reminds me of how many strong independent women are in The Expanse: Chrisjen, Naomi, Julie, Drummer and Bobbie to start with. This is a diverse and amazing cast. Drummer is played by Cara Gee who is Ojibwa (A First Nation tribe in Canada). Not a single "white blond" main cast member so far. Its awesome, and about time.
16:03 "every single episode is more interesting than the next" Wait, are you saying the opposite of what you want to say here? I mean, if every episode is more interesting than the next, then the next is less interesting, right?
A year late so basically pointless but 14:45 is exactly why I think reacting to movies/shows while reading chat is just dumb. Dude just spoiled something that was JUST about to happen before it happens and ruined it. Your reactions are amazing and one my favourites out there but reading episode descriptions before watching the episode and reading spoilers in chat is a little frustrating, especially since this show is so good to be spoiled

Are you bobby's sister? :)
The Prax/Amos dynamic is one of the best parts of the whole series.
What is really sad, in the books, there was a whole campaign smear on Prax, where they basically accused him of r*p!no his own daughter. And that emotional seesaw he went through. And how Amos, w/ his traumatic youth, bonded w/ him, basically reminding him that Prax wasn't that kind of person. It really solidified their bond.

"That's your sharpness...."
@@Braincleaner Inyalada go through the ring, call it their own
*BUT A BELTER OPENED IT*
Amos, Bobby, Chrisjen and Drummer are absolutely badass characters
yeah pretty much. Bobbie is my favourite in this season.
Also very representative of the four existing factions - Earthers, Martians, Belters and Amos.
"It always ends with me being 'What the fuck just happened?'"
One of the things I love about this show is how often I got to the end of an episode shouting "What the fuck is that blue thing?!?" and it was always *different* blue things.

"With a good scope, you could still see his ship going at a marginal percentage of the speed of light, heading out into the big empty. The best, longest funeral in the history of mankind."
Would have been a nice stinger at the end of the ep.
Wow. That's impactful
I just realized this means his drive had been burning for over 136 years at that point. That's how huge of a fuel efficiency increase the Epstein drive made.
wow one of those moments I've read so many times I thought I watched it as well never thought it wasn't in the show till you mentioned it lol
Anderson Dawes(Jared Harris) explained the scar on his neck is from contact burns the belters would get from the old suits. I think that's why a lot of them have those neck tats. Gotta love Drummer.. she's up there with Miller and Amos for best characters. Avasarala is also the bomb.

The cliffhangers get down right abusive at times. Makes the show very binge worthy.
Imagine having to wait 7 days for every ep 😲
They got cliffhangers to science. From Ty Frank: best cliffhanger is not the one when you are left with not knowing what is coming, but the one where you know, but "What does it mean?"
I love the characters in this show. Could never pick between any of them as favorite. Drummer, Avaserala, Bobbie, Naomi, Amos, all amazing!!
Love all you have mentioned as well as one or two yet to appear...

I have been patiently waiting for more Expanse reactions!
The peace summit has some of my favorite Chrisjen moments. What does she do? Whatever she goddamn well likes!
"imm-cee-arr-inn...such a kiwi..."...😂love you noting and mimicking Bobbie saying MCRN with her Kiwi accent.
Just waiting for S3E6 :)
Avasarala isn't playing checkers, she's not even playing chess, she's playing 4 dimensional hyper-chess. 😲

Camina Drummer's actress is Cara Gee. She's Ojibwe. That's why she looks so interesting.
Do not know if your aware, but Amos, the actor, has a talk show on here with one of the authors and they discuss the episodes, it's quite entertaining. It's called Ty and that Guy.
In a nut shell has a great video on the Fermi paradox
All Belters are really good at speeches. Every. Single. One.
I really love this multi-episode format! One of my favorite Expanse reactions. Just started following on Twitch.
After you finish The Expanse, you should watch Fringe. It's another great sci-fi series, and Jared Harris plays a role in that as well - plus the main characters are awesome, the plot is *chef's kiss*, and the way everything develops is fantastic ☺️

'What the eff is that'
"I am the the vanguard of your destruction".
You're right that it just keeps getting better. You are super observant and insightful, but I cannot explain to you how much you're not ready for season 3. Strap in tight, Mary.
Watching with a live chat always results in spoilers. There's always people who just can't help themselves.
If you think S2 is good, just wait for S3. 😀
And keep an eye out for that split second cliffhanger at the end of season 3 !!! Literally, blink, and you Will miss it.
Hint, Holden sees it!
@Sigma Dude Completely agree about S5 Haven't read the books yet, though I've started book 1.
Season 5 is the emotionally hardest to go through because the ride up to that point has been so incredible.
48:19 Captions say "i really hope you get reunited with your mag boots"
14:00 jupp....Rip headphone users. Your reaction to the jamming was hilarious! 😂
"The Last Samurai" & "We Were Soldiers"!
It is a scar, from old helmets they wore.
47 days until Season 6 debut, enjoy what's coming as there are some incredible episodes out there.
Can't wait to catch Season 6, I hear it'll be the final season though.

@5:23 that's part of the awesomeness of this show... From now on you will remember what happens in a high G burn every time you see a space scene where no one is thrown to a wall or floor when the ship starts going fast... As Solomon Epstein said "it changes everything"
Not "going fast", but accelerating fast.
All you gotta do to avoid that is accelerate every part of the ship at the same time, easy
The Expanse series made me want to find the books.
I finished 5 seasons then switched to audiobooks. They're quite good actually, though a lot of changes were made in TV show.
I'd split them into four groups:
- Changes that were made to fix plots that were self controversial or not too realistic.
- Changes that were made to lower the budget.
- Additional stories based on the events that were just mentioned in the books but not shown.
- Additional stories added to extend some of the characters arcs, to make them more empathising.
So in my opinion some plots are better shown in the series, and some in the books, and I cannot specifically choose one above the other. They're both good in some way.
Most serious changes were made in 2nd and 3rd seasons and on with seasons 4 and 5 it starts to be really close to the original script.
With the belters you can respect the reasons and not the ways it is done
One thing that was conveyed in the books, that was Not portrayed in the series, during Gunny's trip to Earth, she believed that if Earth and Mars did go to war, even considering her Martian pride and fervor in support of the perceived Martian tactical and technical advantage, she had Zero doubt that Earth would win the war.
She came to her conclusion based on numbers, weapons of mass destruction, governmental stability, and man power available. Oh, and that 'training' in 1-G is no where near the same as 'actual' Gravity.
Thanks, I missed that bit too every time I see Gunny landing on Earth an realizing that no martian could fight on Earths surface.
Thanks again for sharing your hard
Avasarala is even better in the books. They had to clean her up a bit. She is just pure gold and sarcastic all the time and her lines would be so full of bleeps that it had to be done ;)
I'm surprised we don't see Miller van murals everywhere.
Good to see a fellow Aussie pick up on the Aussie actors.
You'll find Amos is the most interesting character in the show, all the way through season 5!! 😲
Oh god I am only on season 3 and he’s my favorite but there are more than 5 seasons so now I’m stressing.
Never heard anyone describe executing disarmed prisoners as "heroic" before lol but I know what you mean. Enjoying the reactions.
Focus pills? I call that Mary Cherry's channel. LOL.
No Dawes knows Drummer's loyalty to Johnson.
Drummer is so cool
The "Step one: find God" doesn't mean she doesn't believe it. It means "If that happens, and they're hostile, we're screwed."
See Jared Harris now also in Foundation...
That scene where those innocent people get spaced was brutal. It's really hard to watch, specially considering how sweet that woman was. What a horrible way to go. Poor folks didn't deserve that. But that's war I guess, and senseless violence is always a part of it.

Amos.... he's just that guy.
Be on the lookout for a cameo by Adam Savage, co-star of Mythbusters, on the science ship Arboghast at Venus, in the last episode of the season.

And the *Fermi Paradox* is basically "if the universe is 14 billion years old why haven't we encountered alien life yet? Where are they all?"
This one I personally find a lot less credible. We've only been broadcasting signals into space for a little over a century, and on a relative galactic scale (let alone a universal scale) that sphere of 100 light years from Earth is infinitesimally small.
For other life to find us, it would have to be either existing or travelling within that tiny 100 light year sphere of space, and just also happen to be at a technological level where they _could_ detect us - something we're barely capable of attempting ourselves.
There's plenty of other sources out there discussing these ideas, definitely don't just accept my own interpretation. It's a fascinating concept to think about and I'm sure you'll reach your own conclusions. Just thought I'd share mine.
Amos= G.O.A.T!!!
Chistian and Amos. Dream Team.
Martian Marines train in 1g a lot of the time.
Please do more episodes
Because the 7th man was true, although they don't want her to know that.
I just love Avasarala, each season she gets more vulgar and i love it
Avasarala is the best!
Lowda comes from Germanic roots "leute". So inyalowda = inner folk, beltalowda = belter folk and so on. "Milowda na anyimal" = my people aren't animals.
Watching you reminds me of how many strong independent women are in The Expanse: Chrisjen, Naomi, Julie, Drummer and Bobbie to start with. This is a diverse and amazing cast. Drummer is played by Cara Gee who is Ojibwa (A First Nation tribe in Canada). Not a single "white blond" main cast member so far. Its awesome, and about time.
Avasarala" "av" as in "have", sarala is right though.
Hey uhm where is S2 first part? :) maybe I am blind. Cheers Cherry Mary 🙃
14:50 wtf someone in your chat spoiling
Have you ever seen the channel alyska.. She is your double
16:03 "every single episode is more interesting than the next"
Wait, are you saying the opposite of what you want to say here? I mean, if every episode is more interesting than the next, then the next is less interesting, right?
It will be a while until you get Amos' back story,.
A year late so basically pointless but 14:45 is exactly why I think reacting to movies/shows while reading chat is just dumb. Dude just spoiled something that was JUST about to happen before it happens and ruined it.
Your reactions are amazing and one my favourites out there but reading episode descriptions before watching the episode and reading spoilers in chat is a little frustrating, especially since this show is so good to be spoiled
