…why have any battles b/w human-controlled ships…

That's got to be one of the worst UI decisions ever. So there are two camera feeds superimposed upon each other (the view of Ganymede, plus the view of Cyllene's craters)? Add to that an overlay of glyphs, which only pertains to the Cyllene camera, but not the Ganymede camera that is centered in the middle of the…

…yes. I'm not clear how this follows my post LOL (sorry). Maybe I wasn't clear what I was talking about and you replied about something else?

Don't you wanna mention the "object lesson" from the review?

The thugs were Star Helix security, kek! Apparently, they have an arrangement with the Suputayaporns (and maybe every ship they escort?) for 10% of their cargo.

I felt the Ganymede distress broadcast was pretty explicit about Ganymede's value:

The protomolecule wasn't worried about a few nukes. It was following the directives of Julie Mao's post-death fever dream. She was reacting to events happening outside, while the protomolecule itself probably didn't give a fuck.

Well, if you wanna try cooking a recreation of Alex's lasagna, someone already worked out a recipe for it: Fantastic Feasts - Alex Kamal's Expanse lasagna recipe.

@disqus_zn7HQgzQIF:disqus: …the antagonistic relationship between the Captain and Arjun had been established…
@disqus_z9mhMKDZTz:disqus: Are you talking about the scientist on the Arbogast? Is he named Arjun as well?
@AZU403:disqus: You mean Martens.

My favorite dialog this week were all from Avasarala:

I don't know what you're talking about. I've never read the books. Everything I typed came from the TV show. In fact, looking over my post, everything I mentioned was shown this last episode (I'm including the "Previously on the Expanse" segment, which showed the broadcasted message).

This situation is not at all similar to the fall of Saigon. Helicopters with a few seats versus a large crowd that knows it's being abandoned by American forces will result in the mass panic depicted in those photographs.

Yeah, the fact that no manifests seem to be available for these refugee barges is part of why I don't think they thought through their evacuation logistics. Prax should have been identified (via biometrics) with a corresponding barge, along with everyone else who was supposed to be on that barge. The lady to whom he…

I mean, I'm not saying it's going to descend into a free-for-all battle royale. I'm saying it's foreseeable that someone is going to retaliate when a volatile situation like this happens.

I suppose. We can't really know what the evacuation plans were, so this discussion is all just conjecture at this point. The show isn't gonna get into the logistics of the exodus, which makes it difficult to assess why this event played out the way it did. I guess I just expected it would be apparent that, when hot…

I agree that was confusing, but there is actually a time gap between Mei's wave and the battle. You might recall that when Bobbie's team saw the wave, this was early in the episode while they were whining about watching the border. They were then commanded to back away from the border and continue their patrol.

I feel it's predictable that confining people of varying allegiances into any available space would result in violence. Keep in mind that the context of this disaster is a confusing combat between two militaries, which will surely inflame any socio-political sentiments. People will find scapegoats and conspiracy…

It's foreseeable that farm barges that had no intention of being evac vehicles would not all behave properly when commandeered and forced into service. In the tense climate that they were already under (being on the brink of war as they are, and with Belters being stirred up by the OPA into a volatile faction), taking…

I think it's the cable car itself that docks with the antenna. That physical link then broadcasts data to whoever is inside the car. An article on Forbes points out that their handheld devices are merely access terminals, which require the surrounding infrastructure to do the computing. In this instance, I think the…
