Uh, no I really don't think that.
Magicians is also a part of the brand re-burnishing strategy but The Expanse is SyFy's most expensive investment ever and while they've stumbled in marketing it, they've also clearly been pushing it hard as representative of the renewed genre commitment of the network.

Hi, so I see that ratings are big focus for you and throwing shade at the show over their ratings is a current thing you're into.
One thing I'd like to note for those reading your comment is that this show is the centerpiece of SyFy's brand restoration. Historically, SyFy has had ratings challenges and that is…

Rewatch the previous episode.

The sad and obvious reason is to give themselves an opening to bring Harold back. But that's why mentioning decapitation was such a terrible decision if the plan was to leave things ambiguous. I can see it now: cremation only severely slows the process both in his reconstitution and his recovery of identity, plus…

That was my last straw. They broke the rule of chekov's gun. I was half-watching, did they show his severed head at the cremation?

Lol it isn't just verbiage and this show is easily striving more than any other sci-fi show which isn't my pet opinion but their own positions so I'm certainly not defensive about someone else's position. But whatever, you've articulated your rationale, and that's fine, we can can leave it there.

within dramatic limits
Your response is typical of the defensive pushback. I love this show, but don't act like people pointing out flaws in the MMC characterization are nitpicking. It's an oversight, and hopefully enough feedback is reaching the writers on social media that it will be something addressed for S3.

I've never served and I absolutely get why it's important: this is a series that strives to get the science as "right" as possible within dramatic limits. Clearly, they weren't as pressed about military culture or for that matter political insider culture but the latter can be forgiven for budget reasons while the…

Nor is it Bert & Ernie's "Ante Up"

Excellent points - I've seen much discussion about the torch ship problem - but what I was (admittedly in a flippant manner) getting at is, I don't think the tracking is thermal but by the drive's radiation signature since they use it for the dual purpose of identifying the type of drive being used.

He thought the Roci ship had predator vision, apparently lol

His are the legit burns that the tattoos are meant to represent. Trench credentials like vet battle scars. Most of the belters are wannabees (even if they're bad-asses), Dawes' scars immediately broadcast his status.

My pet theory is whatever happened on Ganymede involved Protogen using protomolecule fueled tech somehow.

He might be talking about how in some cases, parent of kids with severe special needs opt to have the child's puberty delayed or halted or in some cases have their reproductive ability curtailed by implant, by surgery, or by drugs.
While I have this as a thing in my mind, without doing some searches I couldn't speak to…

I should probably add that Mario would be offended that I'm implying he's a muppet.

Exhibit A: Glove and Boots

re-watch the scene where he places "her" hand on the timer. You'll hear and see that the timer is immediately affected by the proto-molecule and broken.
The roci had given up the chase by then and we're keeping up at all.
Miller talks "Julie" into going to Venus instead of returning to Earth.

I was wondering about that. He actually expressed contempt for Erringwright because he was doing CYA. I think it may be that he's more "Bye, Felicia" about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't already ensconced in some base of operations somewhere.

This show receives universal praise for its SFX. He is indeed blind. It's almost a troll level comment.
