Cameraman had things drawn on his fingertips that i took to be sensor. I was sure he would turn out to not be blind, but it seemed not to be the case.

I’m still confused, but if she appears again then I’ll know. I’m putting off reading Abbadon’s Gate until the season is over.

I began watching the original Tarkovsky version but fell asleep after the ponchos started piling up.

This was the second episode I’ve wached, and I was entranced. Because there was a warning about language and violence after every commercial break I was fully expecting people to be gunned down, even the protagonists - but it only referred to the “previously on” clips!

So, enlighten me - which ship did Melba blow up? Not the one she was on?

Do space vehicles actually do this now, or is this the way it would be done if piloted spaceships were possible?

I may shock/disgust the fans, but I’m going to watch the finale tonight even though I have only seen 1 episode of the entire series. I did the same with Breaking Bad.

I’ve always thought he was rather photogenic.

Based on the first 2 books, the casting is somewhat different - Avasarala, Amos, and Alex are all older than the actors playing them.

And those blue eyes. And those arms...

“The Churn” is in “The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy novellas”, edited by Paula Guran, pub. by Prime Books, 2015. It’s available on Amazon (or via your library).

Do we know why Melba planted the explosive and that particular ship, or is this something to be revealed in future?

It seem pretty clear that we are going to get an episode with Amos’s childhood soon.

I thought, what are they using an old rock song for, and then remembered that we still listen Beethoven... Good road music is still good road music.

She did say “your brother.” I blush to admit, as the young folks (used to) say, I’d hit that.

I didn’t like him - he was an easy person to dislike - but I liked The Ghost Writer (read it in the New Yorker) and The Plot Against America.

To me it almost looked as if the metal rings/bits, presumably from his uniform, had grown into his face as he lay helpless. As good a guess as any, I suppose.

That’s one I don’t need to see.

yes, there was a lot this episode that I avoided looking at, even though that kept me from comprehending what finally killed the beast. when Crozier is asked by the Inuit “How did he die?” he declined to answer. (I was thinking “Bravely” would be a good response.)

Harry was pulled from Afghanistan because the Taliban issued threats against him. He was furious at the decision.
