I'll have to listen again. I was trying to hear her voice, but it was a bit difficult to make much of anything out.

Babylon's Ashes was a bit insane, because it had 2 main PoVs, about 4-6 secondaries, and a dozen or so one-offs.

One of the early commenters next week should set up a dedicated book spoiler thread. If it gets upvoted enough, it should stay near the top and (hopefully) attract the vast majority.

BA took me longer than usual to get through. The general mood throughout the book seemed too real and current, given the recentness of the election.

Was that line supposed to be in the Eros stream? I don't remember anything from it other than "You can't take the razor back."

Yeah, but they also mentioned that Earth and Martian ships near Jupiter were heading towards Eros, which could include her. It depends on how they structure the next few episodes. I figure it will be at least two episodes before the Ganymede Incident, so I'm not sure what they'll have her do yet. Maybe it will show

I'm thinking we're going to skip that in the show. Holden hasn't been quite as much of a self-righteous dick recently.

I somehow ended up watching the Space version of it, and it was a pleasant surprise to hear Miller actually say "fuck."

I think her voice is well suited to Avasarala; I could 100% believe that she lives on a steady diet of whiskey.

I also thought it was Erasmus (named after Erasmus Darwin, a famous doctor).

Yeah. I wonder how that will spin Avasarala's decision to send him out in Book 4, assuming he would broadcast everything and dooming the colonization effort.

I thought that at first, but I'm pretty sure Eros was under spin. Looked like that when Diogo took off from it too. Wouldn't that apply gravity to their situation?

I watched the clips on Youtube and out of order, so I was completely surprised when Tatiana Maslany showed up at the end of the monologue (again, for me).

They've got a 13 episode order this season, so I think they'll be able to get 2/3 of the way through again.

Last season gave us an entire episode in travel from Tycho to Eros. While it was a decent episode (and gave us "donkeyballs"), it could have used some trimming. I'm fine with them letting scene transitions mask the time if it keeps the pacing up.

He got it right at the bottom of the page, I'll give this one as a typo.

I've heard that they're going to be changing the timeline up a bit to make the two books lie closer together. Also, I'd guess that there might be two more episodes for book 1 (but maybe not).

Apparently, a VFX tech on Reddit said that they weren't thrilled by the walk themselves, but they had budget limitations (also next week is supposed to have another amazing sequence).

Pretty solid comparison.

So they've definitely cranked up the profanity this season, and Avasarala has had a bit so far. I'm hoping they're just slowly amping up her vocabulary of nasty things to say as her position gets more and more fucked.
