Or SOMEONE in the high command, knowing more and convincing some other using the "this is not worth an all out war" reason.

Niffin ate your file.

Best part for them is they can add characters back story in the mix a half a "book" early and let them flow in rather than the way the books have to when they need a new POV character.

SHips were moving close same relative speed and couple kilometers, PDC guns are moving at the same speed as ship and then accelerated rounds by 3-5,000 meters a second . would have hit in under a second.

It is not really covered in the show recently, but the "Inner Planets" (Earth and Mars) , basically treat the belters very poorly. A good example would be "company town" /1920 farmer situation, the inner planets manage to extract all the profit out and leave belters struggling to make the next payment when something…

Mars is referenced to and mentioned in background, but rarely relevant outside Alex (and Bobbie being from there) . I wish Alex would do the Mariner accent more. but it is more of a book thing (The people in Mariner valley in the books are Chinese and Indian settlers that a group Texas people settled among so they…

It is coming, hope that is not a huge spoiler since after this episode you can see they were basically written to be in the same room.

Lol/

Dawes is an OPA legend, and is the Big Dawg on Ceres. Diogo is from Ceres , and was brought to Tyco since they were gathering up troops from various factions. he has no prior connection to Johnson (who many OPA consider an necessary evil and do not completely trust.).

Yep.

They still have at least one season to make that choice, I think they are leaving the opportunity to consolidate if necessary for time and budget reasons,

Funny thing is I was greatly annoyed by Fred Johnson's office, I know they have shown it before, but I looked at this time and said, hey where is his REAL WOOD desk. : )

They wanted to do it somewhere, figured it fit well here, so that is where it showed up. The Epstein drive is THE technology of the first half of the series, it nuclear power, microprocessor or ICE level world changing.

um, um … nope not going to spoil////

Amos is more than a little odd and not really a quality moral human being. He does have a clue that he lacks that sense so he hangs around people who have moral sense to tell him what bad guys need killing and which ones you need to stop at roughing up.

She was pretty heavily pro Martian UNTIL she a) lands on Earth and realizes how many humans live on Earth and b) that the only one who she can find that has the human race's best interest at heart is Alverasa

Donna is probably has the bug, just not obsessed with it, she can be pulled into that world, but she can still see the real world. She is noted as a good engineer. Not, a brilliant from idea to prototype person, more of prototype to finished product.

H&C has finally found Mad Men's unique realm of a recent history period piece, that is wonderfully acted, about all the little trivial stuff in flawed. but successful people's life while the whole world changes around the characters.

He was going to finish Quentin, she could not let that happen. She has zero attachment to any others and they have generally treated her poorly. I also think realizing you have been raped by a God less than an hour earlier probably puts you in a less than giving mood.

It is somewhat a limitation of doing a show for any network, there is a decent chance you get one season. SyFy also has lower budgets and a weird tendency to wildly swing from supportive to cheap and back again.
The show runners needed to pack most interesting stuff they could in early episodes to draw attention, then…
