Isn’t Jim a homicide detective? And he still hasn’t learned that perps walk when you don’t Mirandize them properly?

On one hand, the fake out with Felicity seemingly asking for a separation just because Oliver raised his voice to William had me hook, line, and sinker. On the other hand, it was only effective because every other character has abandoned Oliver for similarly thin, poorly written reasons.

This show is such fiction. Like an elected official would ever face repercussions for firing the people who were investigating him.

It was particularly great seeing how his part was written through this episode. It’s clear that it’s his chat with Prax that got him thinking and looking for clues to Mei’s fate, but we only realize that’s what happened when he walks in and say “Io”. The show always dares to show folks thinking things through without…

I thought he also talked about Miller with Prax. That bit about “a fool who keeps going even if there’s no chance of winning”. Of course, it could be self-referential, too, or many other things.

Hmmm. I didn’t see any reluctance. They just put story and pacing first- at the final episode of S2 the shots of her throwing people around are short because tehy wanted to intercut them with Naomi’s speech and other shots, for example.
Also, right now there’s no stakes: when Bobbie was escaping from the Martian…

Excellent review Allison, it really hits on the feeling the many fans have, what exactly are we meant to be against Oli for?

My favorite was when Bobbie found the pilot guy hiding:

He’s great and he’s interactions with Avasarala were fun from the beginning but one Bobbie joined the mix it became the best. Cotyar is barely in the books so I keep worrying the will kill him off and that’d be a tragedy because they hit gold with the chemistry these three characters have.

The fuck are you babbling about? Kinja? Yeah, WE KNOW.

I especially loved the part where Holden has the 3D view up on the Rocinante talking about the Protomolecule. It reminded me of our favorite detective, Miller.

No, it was referred to at least as far back as the first season as The Razorback. I remember it being mentioned early on by Jules-Pierre Mao in one of his messages to Julie. Not sure how much it’s been mentioned since then but it’s definitely established in the show.

I’m so pleased this show is back but more to the point, that Chrisjen, Cotyar and Bobbie are back.

So long Beautiful Full Opening Credit Sequence! Take care! We’ll see you again in 13 weeks!

Inverted sit-ups with a not fully healed abdominal stab wound is pretty fucking hard core.

Also, partial edit: the set design just keeps getting better and better. It’s veering in on BSG levels at this point, which is just nuts.

Now that Venus thing happened Holden knows his obsession with destroying protomolecule is pointless so he found them a new quest. Always playing a hero. Too bad they missed a bit of prtotomolecule on their ship.

a) PRAISE SYFY that Avasarala can FINALLY curse!

which is interesting! a clawed hand is usually shorthand in animation for “this character is EVIL very EVIL notice their LONG SHARP EVIL NAILS made for STABBING” but so far every time we meet a new diamond their first, EVIL, impression usually evolves into something more flawed and, dare I say, human. I’m dying to…

why has no one brought up Artemis to justify Oli being paranoid about the non OG members
