I refer to Naomi's segments of these last three episodes as "Dominique Tipper acting her ass off for three episodes." The almost no-dialogue performance she gives through this part is so fucking amazing.
She's always good but she's 11/10 in this season
'I am... In control..."
Always awesome
I love how while Aaron and Calvin are having an in depth conversation, Eric is just vibing to the soundtrack 🤣
Naomi has the worst case of the Bends in the history of science fiction.
Her joints feel like they're filled with needles, and she's got a bad sunburn, and her vision is blurry because some of the blood vessels have ruptured.
She's in bad, bad shape -- but she's not dead.
The writing of this episode is top-notch. :)
As far as I know there is only one case of someone describing what the effects of vacuum do..During the Apollo mission training someone had a suit breach in a vacuum chamber…He said he felt his saliva boiling away in his mouth before he passed out…He survived
I love the Expanse videos, Expanse Sundays have been the highlight of my week for the past year now. As for doing QnAs for the live reactions during the final season, I think you guys could do it, I think you can trust the book fans to not just spoil stuff willy-nilly, they're very good about not spoiling stuff to people that have only seen the show.
OK that slow pan in on Eric living his best life while humming the theme was just fucking hilarious
The entire part with Naomi is simply amazing. What a badass.
The score marks aren't for Naomi to count the junction boxes... they're to count how many times she opens the "vestibule" to vacuum. Thus each opening means she's losing the amount of O2 equal to the volume of the vestibule from within the cabin. It's a cubic feet calculation she's estimating mentally. The vestibule is open to the cabin until she has to seal it off from the cabin prior to opening the opposite door into vacuum. When she goes back into the cabin she has to reverse the order of door operation which is when the vestibule becomes re-pressurized from O2 within the cabin. Each door reentry decreases the O2 percent by some fraction. If you look back, you will see the cu.ft. specs of the spaces provided on a nameplate near to where she makes her marks.
You'll notice it's also shown in metric, for the other 7.3 billion of us - pretty much guarantee Naomi isn't calculating _anything_ in cubic feet. But sure, otherwise a valid point.
Aaron: "Everyone's in space"
He's out of line, but he's right.
lol
As best as I can tell from online articles and videos by credible scientists and engineers and doctors, this is what Naomi is going through right now:
- any exposed skin that was facing the sun would experience very bad sunburn (only brief exposure, and a lot further from the sun than Earth is, but no atmosphere or magnetosphere or ozone layer to mitigate the solar radiation burn)
- exposed skin facing away from the sun would experience frostbite
- most surface moisture from her eyes, inside her nose, in her mouth and to a lesser extent inside her throat and sinuses, as well as on her exposed skin, would rapidly evaporate away, leaving her with very dry and very sore and irritated eyes, nose, mouth, throat and sinuses and very dry and irritated skin
- even though she breathed out quickly, her lungs would have been under significant stress, resulting in inflammation and maybe asthma symptoms
- in fact, her whole inflammatory system would probably be having a freak out, so all over swelling, soreness, fever and flu-like symptoms, as well as skin rashes and the like, plus maybe diahorrea and vomiting.
In short, Naomi Nagata feels like utter shit. Like a cross between the worst hangover you've ever had with the worst flu you've ever had, while you're also suffering from both extreme sunburn and some frostbite, and maybe an asthma attack.
0/10, would not recommend.
EDIT: Oh yes, I forgot, she's also have what scuba divers call "the bends"
Don't forget the emotional trauma.
Camina Drummer does not drink because she is sad. She drinks because she is angry. And boy is she angry.
God she was amazing in this episode
Just wanna say before you guys miss it: make sure to watch the end credits of episode 10 all the way through.
You should hope someone else told them before, because they watched the finale a couple weeks ago ;)
Something that was mentioned in earlier seasons is Naomi is one of the best engineers in the solar system - if anyone has a chance of getting out of that situation, it's Naomi.
They show pretty well in these few episodes is how difficult it can be to be pushed into a position of power without any preparation - there are people on all sides telling you what you need to do - it's a great test of character.
Eric was me everytime i watched this opening LMAO
HAHA same
The ingenuity, sheer will & determination from Naomi in this episode was incredible!
The look on Amos' face when Peaches was talking to his friend was priveless. The actor really captured the emotional detachment in him as he tried to figure out what was gonna happen. 😂😂
16:37 Well Ashford is dead.. and as far as Drummer knows Naomi is too and so its Fred.. at this point Drummer just lost everyone she cared about outside her family..every single one of them and all by Marco's hand .. who is now issing ass orders to her..
so yes.. Drummer is gonna be pissed
It's interesting watching people's reactions to the idea of striking back at Pallas Station in the Belt in retaliation for Marco's strike on Earth. With the detachment of fictional TV show, people can EASILY see how bad an idea it is and how it plays right into Marco's hands. Yet in real life, that is EXACTLY what the US and allies did after 9/11 with the war on terror. Very interesting.
....yeah and they learned from that hence their views today. "Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it." - Thanos probably
Nope, people are able to think like that in real life too, no fictional detachment required. There were also _plenty_ of people urging restraint after September 11th - here in the UK for instance hundreds of thousands of ordinary people marched against the (second) invasion of Iraq.
@@anonymes2884 Yeah, there were a good number of US politicians and advisors at all levels against. Problem is only a handful of names remain since most had their careers killed instantly for being against invasion. It wasn't even that hard to kill their names; There's a article that came back around asking 2 advisors about invading Afghanistan, and the guy against basically listed all the ways it was a bad idea and even correctly predicted how'd it end like Vietnam, and all the pro-war guy had to do was write like 5 sentences calling the other guy stupid and it killed the guy who was right's entire career.
@@andrewdiaz3529 Oh for sure. And as history shows, those hundreds of thousands of ordinary protesters were also completely ignored by those in power in the UK too (because, y'know, we invaded Iraq :). Still, public opinion was split pretty much in half (here at least).
My point being that the OP's implication that people can only see it's a bad idea "[w]ith the detachment of fictional TV show" is just plain wrong. It seems to be saying something profound about human nature but isn't (though judging by upvotes, some people _want_ to believe it). In reality, how reactors respond to the Pallas proposal is actually pretty representative of how plenty of people responded after September 11th.
That slow zoom on the lightly humming the intro../......personally attacked!!!!
The tally-marks alongside the airlock are where Naomi is keeping track of how many times she has gone into the space between hulls, because when she does that the air in the airlock escapes into space. Naomi knows the total volume of the ship's main space and the airlock and that tells her how many times she can vent the airlock before she is out of air.
Naomi is the ultimate Belter. She's sailed through void without a suit.
Yes, do QnA's please! I can't wait for Season 6!!!!
Yes, to the Q&As!
i dont know if its the same in the TV show but in the book the Chetzemoka was acelerating at 2G-ish wich further caused physical trouble to Naomi on top of the damage of her space walk
She was amazing in this season. Dominique deserves an award for these performances.
I actually don’t think book readers will be able to spoil much. The producers have already suggested that they may deviate quite a bit from the books in Season 6, since after all it’s planned to be the final TV season whereas there are still several more books after book 6. So they may well not just condense stuff, but also cut stuff out or even completely change things. Book spoilers may simply turn out to be false.
Man, I was going to ask if they'd decided what was replacing The Expanse yet, but I didn't realise S6 is coming up mid-December. Thought it wasn't going to drop until next year.
Better Call Saul
I'd really enjoy theorising with you all. This being the last season for now makes me want to cherish it and I think to think what could lie ahead would make for interesting discussions
insane how cara gee was pregnant this whole season
"Humans are not supposed to be in space."
We're not supposed to leave the ground at all. Amtrak is way more expensive than a plane, and Greyhound is hell though 😮💨
Filip killed Cyn by bringing his mother Naomi on the ship, is what Marco was referring too i think......
Yes, but they are right that the ultimate responsibility is Marco's. That remark to Filip was awful.
I really hope you guys do season 6 live with Q&As and everything. It is true there is a chance of spoilers from book readers but I hope that doesn't deter you from doing it.
For that to happen they have to release episode 9 and 10 on youtube together
They gonna take a break from season 6 because the books did a time jump... so they want tit to feel natual so there wont be a s6 for a while
@@alexanderjermaineabrahams1615 season 6 starts on December 10. In less than 2 weeks. The time jump you are referring to is after the events of book/season 6. Currently there are no plans for more Expanse on screen after that.
@@alexanderjermaineabrahams1615 Time jump takes place after the event of season 6/book 6
@@thontor Though the creators have said they _could_ continue after S6 if the opportunity arose (which sounds like a smart way to approach things).
To the OP's point in general though, nope, apologies to those who're careful but after reading comments sections for hundreds of Expanse reactions I just don't trust book readers not to spoil these guys (I know the series is taking a different path but speculation based purely on what we've seen and "speculation" based on 10 years of novels written by two of the people intimately involved in the creation of the show are two different things).
I laughed so hard and screamed so loud when Eric was humming the intro my family ran in to see if I was dying 🤣
I love your reactions so much. Naomi is amazing and smart and I love her so fvcking much 💖 👏
How Dominique Tipper doesn't get some kind of award for her acting this season, is beyond my comprehension.
I love her acting but there were many better actress this year
@@MoviesAndTvShowsAreSubjective Fair enough. Care to share any links for those TV performances this year? Or simply actress and show will suffice.
While not as insane, I kind of get Heaven Sent vibes from how Naomi is fighting against the trap Marco set. Also, that many bombs? Someone's unsure of his plan.
10:40 Well, the trap consisted of using explosives, so they needed to leave some oxygen too.
Fun fact: explosives contain their own oxygen, that's what makes them explosives. An explosive without its own oxygen is called "fuel."
Edit: By "contain their own oxygen" I don't mean they contain breathable O₂. I mean the oxygen is part of the explosive's molecules. As in TNT, Trinitrotoluene, C₆H₂(NO₂)₃CH₃, which contains six oxygen atoms per TNT molecule.
I think they also needed to have oxygen, as well as heat so that it looks habitable from a distance. Any heat, would look like a massive bonfire in the cold vacuum of space.
Q&A's Pleaaase. I promise Expanse book readers won't spoil a thing!
Eric, you are awesome. Always makes me laugh or smile.
When I first saw this, I thought she was using Morse Code when she was interrupting the transmission - something like just "TRAP" or "TRAP BOMB" over and over.
Actually, they do have telescopes if I remember correctly. I think their passive sensors are telescopes (which can also see infrared or ultraviolet), radio telescopes (for the rest of the EM spectrum) and their active sensors are radar (radio bounce back) and LIDAR (laser bounce back). But I think it would be damn hard for the Roci's telescopes to see into a window in another ship unless it was very close.
Plus, I don't think we've seen any ship that has a window on the hull. At most there are small portholes in some of the airlock doors iirc.
Did you guys plan from the beginning to be perfectly on pace for season 6
You guys should have continued watching the end credits.
I've read the books and could serve as a filter for spoilery questions if you need it. :)
Do QnA's, but maybe have a moderator, who has read the books, go through them first.
They have mods go through the comments on here & rarely come on themselves, for this reasont: I still give the above idea a golden ☝🏼.
No "maybe" about it, that's the _only_ way IMO.
Q&As - use Carmen to screen out final trilogy spoilers
21:20
"He's been to space."
"No he hasn't, he's been to jail"
"That's right"
🤣
do the Q&As!!!
Seeing Wes Chatham co-hosting makes me appreciate his portrayal of Amos even more. Complete opposites.
Season 6 is going to have to deviate in a lot of ways from the books because of how much is already different, with some characters dying and some still being alive and others are not around or had their roles completely reworked into others'. But certain major plot actions and resolutions will probably stay mostly the same so someone with book knowledge will have some clue as what to expect there.
Plus season 6 is only 6 episodes so it'll have to condense the book a lot too
Q&A LIVE PLEASE!!
I’m sick at the fact that upcoming s6 will be the last of this show. Everything ends eventually but when there’s so much book material after s6 still out there it’s just a damn shame. Love the Amos Peaches chemistry.
Great reviews. Keep it up boys! Next episode is a keeper! PS- 2:40- LMAO Eric. Love it. Great job editor.
i'm sure the writers will find a why to do more
The writers said that the book timeskip would make it hard to work and that if season 6 does well then we might get the last books adapted in their own series.
6 seasons and a movie!
UGH, wish you guys had listened to the credits :(
They did
Remember the Cant
Quite possibly one of the best episode carried almost entirely on the shoulders of Dominique Tipper's performance.
This season must of had a deal with Kleenex...
please just watch the end credits. you miss out on stuff otherwise.
Yeah, they stopped it right as it was playing the edited message. The message repeating over the credits is so haunting
Ayyy
Netflix could do what Amazon did and build up a good show over several seasons before putting the show to rest (I say to rest because we all know nothing is ever actually cancelled these days).
Altered Carbon had the potential to e for better then the Expanse although it was cancelled before we could ever figure out which one is better.
tbh season 2 of Altered Carbon kinda ruined the shows chances of being compared to The Expanse. Although S1 of Altered Carbon, Joel Kinnaman did one hell of a job as Takeshi
Altered Carbon was a decent mess. Decent? Yes. Coherent enough to last long? Not really. Add on the Netflix season 2 guillotine, it was never going far. Personally gave up most Netflix after Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was cancelled after 1 season despite holding number 1 for nearly as long as Tiger King did
¿Shouldn't there be a legends of tomorrow reaction ?
Why would you downvote this? 🤦🏻♂️
What do you mean downvote?
"the guy who didnt want to be there will probably do the best job". Indeed. Just like Trump did the best job.
I am surprised that they still haven't dropped this average show
In this day and age, it amazes me how people still don't understand the concept of " to each his own" . From what I'm seeing, they happen to enjoy it very well and other people as well. So if this show is too "average" for your not so-average mind and not to your liking, just move on and watch their other reactions. Simple.
@@lilybond1124 I don't read essays
@@doge2318 Well, that explains it. Say no more..
because 1. this is an amazing scifi show, one of the best. 2. this is one of the better performing long running tv series reactions for blind wave
@@lilybond1124 LMAO, pretty much explains why he thinks it's an "average show". Would love to see what considers a good show if he considers this average. Something tells me he'd list actual average shows that are nothing more than run of the mill. That or this is some bait from a bored troll!
