I dunno, I wouldn't let Naomi gently float away from my space bed for eating space crackers.

My apologies.

I kind of felt that the bird he saw through the window right at the end of the episode was the first lean in that direction…interested to see how far they take that aspect of it. As for the stolen equipment, there was a throwaway line in an earlier episode that nodded towards that…right before Havelock went solo and…

Yea, that does seem to be the primary motivation…they needed someone "official" on the Team Earth to basically say "we didn't do this bad thing, so maybe it was the other guys" in order to maintain the confusion angle, and since she will be in the story soon enough they might as well kill two birds with one stone. Not…

Agreed. I still think the Avasarala scenes are thus far notably less efficient compared to the rest in terms of a time spent/plot development ratio, but by this point next season I believe it will worth it.

Book reader context/not a spoiler/background for non-book readers…If Ceres (where Miller has been) is Space New York, Eros (where everybody is now going) is Space Atlantic City, and for more than one reason.

The confusion is deliberate, do not worry! Things will be coming together soon enough.

You are way more right than wrong. Though, as with Miller, not all of the pieces are in front of you just yet.

Yea, I couldn't remember if the context of the name given to Holden was made clear in the show or not.

The book handles this somewhat differently, but in both instances Miller is still tunnel-visioned on the OPA/Dawes being the big bad and Ceres-level machinations in general. Based on the name Holden's crew are tracking down all will be revealed shortly.

You are on the right track. Miller correctly deduces that his captain is in someone's pocket, but he isn't yet aware of all the players at the table.

The nephew in the Uncle Ethnic n' Family Space Rock Fishing Boat was the guy Miller let loose after finding him stealing water in an earlier episode…it was in the "previous on", and his uncle mentioned something like "if you don't like this you can go back to stealing water" or some such. But yea, it was a lot of time…

But even with that I took it as him being on the more 'sleazy' side of the spectrum, and one a little past his prime…not a full-on Space Quagmire but closer to that than the other end. I dunno, for whatever reason that image was the first one I had in my mind and it stuck. I guess I couldn't reconcile such a player…

Yes, to all of this. Watching Avatar in 3D IMAX was and still is the most amazing experience I've ever had in a theater. The collective gasps that occurred during a few sequences nearly sucked the air right out of the room. But it was the kind of thing that didn't stick at all afterwards. Sam Worthington is a charisma…

Galveston would be a kick-ass single season show.

It is very dense and dour, but I did enjoy it overall. Just don't expect Season One, Part Two.

Agreed. The ending of book one would be a weird mid-season episode, so maybe they will bring forward more later-book characters to help smooth things over. Or maybe they'll do the whole split-season thing and have the ending of LW be the mid-season finale, but I kind of hate how shows do that.

He is certainly more likable on the show. Along with a few others, my read on him in the book had him slightly older (40-ish) and not as good looking, despite the math on his age lining up with the show version. And I took the occasional comments about his 'pretty face' to be semi-sarcastic for some reason (and that a…

Yea, the phrasing was my only real issue with that. Both the words themselves but also the fact that they would somehow apparently be the first words to come to mind in that situation. Like, oh no, it is those damn VZ again.
