Also Rocinante is the name of Don Quixotes Horse ^^ OPA is like every other human organisation in human history: You have people that just want a better life for their loved ones, you have people that just wanna see the world burn and everything in between.
@@StarkRG And Naomi. I was reading the books as they came out, and watching the show as it was airing, and never even noticed that they'd snuck in lines foreshadowing Season 5 before it was even written in the books.
In the books one of the things about Miller is that he sees himself as cynical and careful, but when he gets a case he can sink his teeth into he feels like a real detective. But to the others in security? He’s at BEST someone who might have been a good detective at one point, but is considered a bit of a joke and a hack who just does the minimum expected. That’s why his friend the female detective feels like he has no business chasing this case past a certain point, and doesn’t understand why he’s even trying. It may also be why he got the job in the first place.
That video message got out. Everyone witnessed the destruction of Anderson Station. Everyone knows the people at Anderson Station had surrendered. That's *why* people started calling Fred Johnson the "Butcher of Anderson Station." There are multiple factions of the OPA (Outer Planets Alliance). There are militant factions that do carry out violent action. And, there are political factions, like the one led by Anderson Dawes. Again, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
I love how hard you want to see Fred suffer after the Anderson Station flashbacks. Many reactors tend to think Naomi is overreacting. I’m glad that you see her point.
I used to preach the Gospel of Galactica to anyone who would listen, and just beg people to watch it. I was crazy obsessed. BSG will always have a special place in my heart but, I promise you, you will love The Expanse even more. So say we all.
PS: You know what's funny, though? People kept trying to get me to watch BSG and I resisted for a long time because I thought the 1970s series was totally hokey, so I didn't think the reboot would be any good. Boy, was I wrong!!!
BSG and expanse fan here also. I actually hung out with Richard hatch for a few hours one day (have a cool pic of me and him that day, we look like old pals lol) a few months to two years before he died. I was surprised when he died because he seemed so energetic when I was with him. Been to a few q&a panels with the main expanse cast as well, asked them a question at at least one. Last time I saw them in person was probably 2018 or 2019 (I think the actor who played Marco Inaros was at that panel as well).
Tried to convince my parents (still occasionally try again) to watch both the expanse and bsg, but they have no interest in bsg and they didn't like the expanse after the first few episodes (too slow but also they didn't like how dark theme wise and setting it seemed, they liked the optimism of star trek, especially tng).
It was a memory chip, inside Julie's robot hamster, and not a tracking device. Nicely guessed. :) You guys aren't getting everything right, but you're doing really well!
A "sherpa" is a bearer/guide that assists mountain climbers in the Himalayas. My guess is that if you ask for a "sherpa" at the cubbyhole electronics shop, you get something designed to carry an object. We saw Miller take apart the mechanical hamster at Julie's apartment and remove what seems to be a chip device of some sort, presumably something used for data storage. Whatever Jule was doing, it is likely she kept some personal records about what she was doing that might explain things to anybody who can read the data, although it seems likely the data would be encrypted. Miller sticks the device in a nice hiding place, underneath the rim of his hat.
Hey, you noticed that man Julie knocked down giving her a sign, touching two fingers to his lips. That's Belter sign language for a kiss. You'll see that again. The guy told Miller to "ask the clerk for a sherpa." The data broker's "space Tinder" tagline was "I'll be your sherpa." Sherpa is slang for "data broker." Amos has said some interesting things to Naomi. He thanked her before for helping him and for being a good person. Now he says that he always does what she says because she always does the right thing. We have seen that he doesn't even know whether he should even kill someone without checking with Naomi. All Belters would know that the people on Anderson Station were children and innocent workers, not terrorists. They may not know the specific reasons the UN destroyed Anderson Station, but there is no reason Belters would accept anyway.
The Expanse is a real one of a kind sci-fi space story. No evil empire. No good vs evil. All the different factions have their good side and bad. It's like Game Of Thrones in that sense where sometimes it is hard to pick a side or you end up accepting more than one side. But that's what makes the main characters even more likeable because they come from the different factions but their growing friendship contrasts the surrounding chaos. Real breath of fresh air. I don't really watch series twice but really wanted to do that with this one.
The actor who plays Dawes is Jared Harris, son of Richard Harris (Original Dumbeldore). Jared recently starred in Chernobyl miniseries, a series you might want to react to, if you haven't already.
More recently, he starred as one of the main cast in the visually stunning new sci-fi series "Foundation" (2021) which is loosely based on Isaac Asimov's novels of the same name.
Yes, The Expanse is amazing for basically not having any "bad guys", just either mistaken good guys on all sides, or those working for just (or at least logical) causes in... STUPID ways, usually also on all sides..
Someone else may have mentioned it, but there's an interesting journey implied for Fred Johnson. From the Butcher of Anderson Station, working for Earth's navy, to being a big wheel in the OPA - he switched sides in a *big* way, apparently. Would be interesting to know why.
Shed died because the books were based on a role playing campaign they were playing with their friends, the person playing the character Shed, could no longer play so in the books and now in the show shed was written to die off.
I fr thought you were going to say the guy playing Shed rolled a critical failure to catch the space cig and the GM rolled some dice then quietly said, “Shit.”
The first to “movies” of BSG(Batttestar Galactica) is called a mini-series. So parts 1 and 2 are the mini-series and then season 1 episodes 1-(33) is where the show starts.
OPA stands for Outer Planets Alliance, they are a collection of hundreds of different factions with the same goal, namely to fight for the rights of the Belters and want independence from Earth and Mars to establish a legitimate Belters Government that stands alone. There are hundreds of factions with different ideologies belonging to The Outer Planets Alliance (OPA), some factions want to achieve their goals by peaceful means by talks and negotiations, but there are some factions that are more extreme than others and these extremist factions like to use violence to achieve their goals, that's why the OPA is sometimes called terrorists due to the actions of some of these extreme factions which in their actions sometimes like to kill the citizens of Earth and Mars. Anderson Dawes at Ceres Station leads one of the largest factions in the OPA, as well as Fred Johnson at Tycho Station also has his own OPA faction. There are other OPA factions such as Golden Bough, Voltaire Collective, Black Sky (the terrorist one), Rhea's OPA, Inaros's OPA and so many more. This other factions have strong presence in other Stations across the Belt Sorry for my bad English
There's a story that when this concept first began it was a role-playing game they were trying to develop and the developer that played Shed stopped showing up so . . . .
IIRC they ran the same scenario a few times to hash it out, with different players and characters that all added something as the story grew. When the books got written like 8 characters got turned into the core 4 (5 with Shed).
I find it very interesting that some people (in this case these two smart women) wouldn't understand "why" the government would kill a group of striking miners on behalf of the interest of some greedy corporation. "Some secret agenda?" 😕 Sadly, this is the normal thing in the history of labour conflicts, historically and even almost the norm until not so long ago, the killing of workers just for protesting. And it never produced any "riots" in our society, it was quite normal specially in third world countries. I guess it's a good thing that people nowadays can be surprised by the violent repression of workers in a science fiction story, the author clearly based it on the sadly recurrent history of the fight for working rights. The belters are a futuristic version of the middle east and Latinamerica in the 20th century, the author is setting the stage for all the things that will happen in the latter seasons, and that's brilliant. There's even a lot of sinister foreshadowing in some things said by some characters in the first season, the author clearly knew where he was going with the plot since the first book/season
The OPA started out as a labor union in the Belt, and went on to develop political factions within the union, some being considered "radical" and "terrorist" depending on their methods.
There are novellas (short stories) and “the Butcher of Anderson station” is one of several. This was a way to introduce Fred Johnson and his back story.
Was a big time BSG (Reboot) Fan and it was my #1 SciFi show until The Expanse came along and blew it completely out of the water by miles IMHO! If you loved BSG you'll definitely love The Expanse. I never did try to get others to watch BSG but I badly wish more people watched this show. Wish there were more Reactors on this and am happy whenever a new channel starts their journey! Looking forward to you two getting to the end of this Season to see how things end up shaping up. The ride only gets better and better! Even when you think you've seen the best in this show...the show out does itself down the road, trust me on that one!
I've been wanting to do a BSG rewatch also. I think when I finally do it, I'll have to watch it along with Tricia ("Six") Helfer's "Battlestar Galacticast" podcast for each episode.
@@BrendanBeckett it ended a year and a half ago I think? It lasted about a year. Tricia and Marc Bernardin host and each episode featured a guest from the cast. Its really great.
@@martinacosta3821 It's good but not great in my opinion. However, S2-6 are excellent. Especially S5 & 6 - some of the best sci-fi TV ever made. I mean The Expanse btw. I can see how my original comment can be a bit confusing.
Great reaction and analysis! You two are quickly becoming my favorite Expanse reactors! Your really getting honed in on what's going on!! Don't worry, answers are coming!! Now we can tell you that the name of fandom is Screaming Firehawks!! Star Trek has the Enterprise and Star Wars has the Millennial Falcon, The Expanse has The Rocinante!! And we love her!! Can't wait for the next one!
It was a hamster. A robot hamster. They have robot pets so rodents on the stations don't get out of control like they tend to do. People still need pets. The station quarters are too small for dogs and cats, so birds and hamsters are popular. But robot versions. GOOD CATCH when Miller said he wasn't drinking. Solving the Mao case is a turning point for him. Changes his life. Her life gives him hope in true selflessness, and that from an Earther (Julie) too. Hypoxic Brain Disorder: basically, the atmosphere they all had to breathe was too low in O2 (oxygen). For kids growing up in that state, their brains can't develop properly. I love how you guys connect with the Belters. They are analogous to native slave-workers brought to far-flung plantations by imperial colonizers, made to work, and not taken care of well...so it's basically Earth history. Sci-fi is famous for that. OPA is analogous to the IRA.
Just call him Miller. We all do. I like this episode as well because our crew actually made their minds up to go in one direction. They wer calmly talking it out and not yelling at each other so I was more on board with them. And now they have a lovely ship, called the Rocinante. Hope they don't get it blown up with their track record... :)
Have you ever seen the series “Firefly”? It is more a light hearted sci fi but very good. I’m loving watching your reaction to this great show, can’t wait till you get further on in this series. Nice reactions and interesting comments from both of you.
Every intro of you guys always looks like you just told each other a joke and immediately do the intro, makes me wanna hear the joke hehe. Anyways, great reaction and the fact that you love this show so much its great, you will love it more, much more.
The detective, Josephus "Joe" Miller, is pretty much only ever called "Miller". Similarly James Holden is mostly just called "Holden", though you will hear him being called "Jim" and "James" occasionally (much more than you'll hear Miller referred to as "Joe"). Most of the rest of the characters are known by either their first names (such as Naomi, Alex, and Amos), or a mixture of first and last names (such as Fred Johnson and Chrisjen Avasarala). And, of course, Shep is never mentioned again. As for the question of whether anyone has died as a result of the OPA. The Anderson station mutineers killed the station manager, they say it was accidental, and perhaps it was, but he definitely died as a result of their actions. It's reasonable to assume there have been other such scenarios. It's up to us, the viewers, to determine whether the actions were justified or not, nothing in this world is clean-cut or obvious.
Good post, but I'd say that 'Naomi Nagata' gets used a lot, as does 'Amos Burton'. And Alex is Alex Kamal. When Bobbie comes up, she also gets called Bobbie Draper. So the show (or books) doesn't especially truncate names. EDIT: Spelling
Totally agree about Battlestar Galactica. Still my favorite show of all time. The Expanse is also phenomenal; it gets far, far better. Season 5 is my personal favorite
@@russellward4624 I agree with that to an extent, I just think that they didn't have to make the fight scenes next to impossible to tell what is going on because they are committed to that style. Yeah, I'm split on the film grain, myself.
You beautiful Serbian women! Just sayin’. Ha! Loving the content, love that y’all are enjoying it so much. As I’m sure you’ve heard, it really does keep getting better and better. You’re in for it now!! 😁
You are too focused on where people come from. Yeah, Belters live hard lives. But we only saw them on the show so far. Do not discount the strengths and troubles of other factions and the differences in people from same faction. The members of Rocinante crew are mix from all factions and you seem to like them all fine so far. And I would like to point out that Dawes the leader of OPA on Ceres talks about how Earthers see something and want to own it while he sees Ceres and wants to own it. Sure, he wants the Belt to be ruled by Belters, but he expects to be in charge. On the other end there is Awasarala, a veteran of intelligence gathering apparatus who would do anything, illegal or immoral for the sake of the Earth, but she is interested in results, not personal power. this show does not really have simple characters, even Holden who is an honest man trying to do honest things has a past and personal problems. So stop looking at this show as "Belters are right" or "Earthers are lazy" or "Martians are assholes" because that is the trap of the setting that the characters live in. You have the benefit of outside perspective, use it.
It seems like you should do a binge watch type reaction because it is obvious you can't wait for the next episode and I think you won't catch up before the 7th season is released.
I'm from Brazil and I love u both. I don't know if u gonna see my comment here but, try to react to a very talent guy from here Brazil. His name is Lucas. The name of the video is 2021 EM UMA MÚSICA. I'm pretty sure u gonna love it!

There are hundreds of factions with different ideologies belonging to The Outer Planets Alliance (OPA), some factions want to achieve their goals by peaceful means by talks and negotiations, but there are some factions that are more extreme than others and these extremist factions like to use violence to achieve their goals, that's why the OPA is sometimes called terrorists due to the actions of some of these extreme factions which in their actions sometimes like to kill the citizens of Earth and Mars.

I want someone to look at me the way Holden looks at the coffee machine
But Holden's abusive to his coffee machines though. You dont want to be his coffee machine
Damn, that was my line 😂
Also Rocinante is the name of Don Quixotes Horse ^^
OPA is like every other human organisation in human history:
You have people that just want a better life for their loved ones, you have people that just wanna see the world burn and everything in between.
The backstories of the major characters will be slowly revealed - keyword: slowly - over a few seasons. Be patient. They’re well worth the wait.
Particularly Amos.
@@StarkRG And Naomi. I was reading the books as they came out, and watching the show as it was airing, and never even noticed that they'd snuck in lines foreshadowing Season 5 before it was even written in the books.

But to the others in security? He’s at BEST someone who might have been a good detective at one point, but is considered a bit of a joke and a hack who just does the minimum expected.

The data broker uses robotic rodents as a hiding place for memory chips. Miller got the one from Julie and hid it inside his hat-band.
Jared Harris was such a great addition to the cast.
I read your name and I was like ugh because I remembered Jules-Pierre Mao😂
It's too bad he wasn't available for the show past season 3
Yes!! Using him and David Straithairn were genius strokes that let them expand the characters believably
I love how hard you want to see Fred suffer after the Anderson Station flashbacks. Many reactors tend to think Naomi is overreacting. I’m glad that you see her point.

It really captures the vibe in America after 9/11 and the buildup to Iraq.
It was a memory chip, inside Julie's robot hamster, and not a tracking device.
Nicely guessed. :)
You guys aren't getting everything right, but you're doing really well!
A "sherpa" is a bearer/guide that assists mountain climbers in the Himalayas. My guess is that if you ask for a "sherpa" at the cubbyhole electronics shop, you get something designed to carry an object.

Hey, you noticed that man Julie knocked down giving her a sign, touching two fingers to his lips. That's Belter sign language for a kiss. You'll see that again.

The detective, Josephus "Joe" Miller, is pretty much only ever called "Miller". Similarly James Holden is mostly just called "Holden", though you will hear him being called "Jim" and "James" occasionally (much more than you'll hear Miller referred to as "Joe"). Most of the rest of the characters are known by either their first names (such as Naomi, Alex, and Amos), or a mixture of first and last names (such as Fred Johnson and Chrisjen Avasarala). And, of course, Shep is never mentioned again.
As for the question of whether anyone has died as a result of the OPA. The Anderson station mutineers killed the station manager, they say it was accidental, and perhaps it was, but he definitely died as a result of their actions. It's reasonable to assume there have been other such scenarios. It's up to us, the viewers, to determine whether the actions were justified or not, nothing in this world is clean-cut or obvious.
Good post, but I'd say that 'Naomi Nagata' gets used a lot, as does 'Amos Burton'. And Alex is Alex Kamal.
When Bobbie comes up, she also gets called Bobbie Draper. So the show (or books) doesn't especially truncate names.
EDIT: Spelling
@@Vasharan I think you'll find that the main characters all use their first names for each other except for Holden and Miller.
It upsets me how Milena effortlessly looks so pretty
A good friend of mine once told me that he didn’t like Battlestar Galactica.
We’re not friends anymore.
You should really watch Orphan Black and Yellowstone i am sure you gonna like them both.
Anderson Dawes is an unholy amalgam of Malcolm X and Don Vito Corleone (from The Godfather).
With a bit of Martin Luther King. "Treat them like they should treat us."
they call him "miller," lol. his given name is pronounced like joe-SEE-fuss.
It´s only me that says "im lola" in the beginning ? hahahahahah
OPA = Outer Planets Alliance
Listening too the 2 of you after the show, you have no idea how much you are getting alot right. It's fun to see :)
OPA = Outer Planet Alliance
Technically it's a hamster not a mouse.
Like #300! Woohoo! And yes, any day is a good day to rewatch Battestar Galactica ;) Well, at least until the final five fiasco.
If you have the urge to just binge the whole season and post it in one day.. I won't stop you! :P
Honestly. Baby girls. You're reactions are the best in my life. You do what you need to do. I am with you all the way.
Totally agree about Battlestar Galactica. Still my favorite show of all time. The Expanse is also phenomenal; it gets far, far better. Season 5 is my personal favorite
Demon Slayer Please!!!! Thank You
Battlestar Galactica is great, and so is The Expanse! B.S.G. is better in my opinion, though, but not by too much.
The music on BSG is so amazing. It provides such great immersion.
@@russellward4624 Indeed! I don't think the show needed so much shaky-cam, but that's one of my only, tiny, nitpicks.
@@Real_LiamOBryan yea but that was part of the documentary feel they went for. I'd have preferred less grainy film.
@@russellward4624 I agree with that to an extent, I just think that they didn't have to make the fight scenes next to impossible to tell what is going on because they are committed to that style.
Yeah, I'm split on the film grain, myself.
I hope you girls start Demon Slayer soon!!!
Excellent reaction as always! Copeng, so say we all; sasa ke! 😀😅
One of my online handles has been “Copeng,” that threw me for a loop for a split second ha
So say we all
You guys should really react to jujutsu kaisen or Tokyo ghoul
You beautiful Serbian women! Just sayin’. Ha! Loving the content, love that y’all are enjoying it so much. As I’m sure you’ve heard, it really does keep getting better and better. You’re in for it now!! 😁
I would 💯watch you watch Battlestar Galactica on the channel even though I know you’ve both seen it already.
waiting İnvincible:)
if you like this show, start raised by wolves.
You are too focused on where people come from. Yeah, Belters live hard lives. But we only saw them on the show so far. Do not discount the strengths and troubles of other factions and the differences in people from same faction. The members of Rocinante crew are mix from all factions and you seem to like them all fine so far. And I would like to point out that Dawes the leader of OPA on Ceres talks about how Earthers see something and want to own it while he sees Ceres and wants to own it. Sure, he wants the Belt to be ruled by Belters, but he expects to be in charge. On the other end there is Awasarala, a veteran of intelligence gathering apparatus who would do anything, illegal or immoral for the sake of the Earth, but she is interested in results, not personal power. this show does not really have simple characters, even Holden who is an honest man trying to do honest things has a past and personal problems. So stop looking at this show as "Belters are right" or "Earthers are lazy" or "Martians are assholes" because that is the trap of the setting that the characters live in. You have the benefit of outside perspective, use it.
It seems like you should do a binge watch type reaction because it is obvious you can't wait for the next episode and I think you won't catch up before the 7th season is released.
You are still thinking with a space fantasy categories. But this is a serious social drama and a solid science fiction.

Does anyone know their instagram?
OPA stands for Outer Planets Alliance, they are a collection of hundreds of different factions with the same goal, namely to fight for the rights of the Belters and want independence from Earth and Mars to establish a legitimate Belters Government that stands alone. There are hundreds of factions with different ideologies belonging to The Outer Planets Alliance (OPA), some factions want to achieve their goals by peaceful means by talks and negotiations, but there are some factions that are more extreme than others and these extremist factions like to use violence to achieve their goals, that's why the OPA is sometimes called terrorists due to the actions of some of these extreme factions which in their actions sometimes like to kill the citizens of Earth and Mars. Anderson Dawes at Ceres Station leads one of the largest factions in the OPA, as well as Fred Johnson at Tycho Station also has his own OPA faction.
There are other OPA factions such as Golden Bough, Voltaire Collective, Black Sky (the terrorist one), Rhea's OPA, Inaros's OPA and so many more. This other factions have strong presence in other Stations across the Belt
