Whoa. Let's not open that can of worms, shall we? Things could get ugly.

Well, I can't be sure if @disqus_yYTjhs9cQH:disqus already covered this, but Draper was found amid a cluttered debris field, and we have no idea if the MCRN cleanup of the site located the other suits and what state they were in.

That's definitely a good explanation. Thanks!

Dark Matter felt (or at least the half-dozen episodes I saw did) much more like an RPG campaign and much less like a scripted TV series. A little strange.

Yeah, it's almost as if oppression doesn't make for happy people!

Yeah, I wonder if that part of Cortazar's M.O. made its way to Dawes' ears before he nabbed him or not.

Hmmm. Just had that happen to one of mine as well. No links in it, or anything. It was just a bit longish (made the use of < strong > a few times, maybe that's the trigger?). What pisses me off is that folks had made some interesting responses to it, and they seem to have been spaced along with the original.

Well said.

Yeah, now that you mention it…
Maybe it's for security, downloading the logs to Naomi's magical transparent plastic minimizes the risk of anyone else picking up the search or the data?

Ah, so someone's read Dune, haven't they?

Actually as I recall the missiles were the defenses, weren't they? So presumably Earth is pretty darn close to stripped of its ability to intercept a bad thing hurtling it's way there. Probably the best window of opportunity anyone will get in a while.
While from out point of view Fred has not been self-serving, the…

I imagine this discussion must be pretty amusing for someone who speeks Greek.

I wonder if it's partly a physical reaction. Zero-G must feel a little weird.

Welcome aboard! We promise NOT to space you.

The thing about the Belters is that there's a lot of competing factions. We were discussing this last week too. If you look at situations like Irish independence or modern-day Palestine or any other of dozens of similar struggles for self-government, you see periods with groups really at each other's neck,…

(gets all emotional at the mention of POI)

You're right that it doesn't give us explicit reasoning. But that tracks with Fred always playing his cards close to his chest. The thing is, it's pretty clear by now that the Rocinante crew is a loose cannon, they will work with him and will help him out but will definitely not always follow his instructions or…

An interesting bit about those executions.
In the cable car, when discussing Diogo's fate, it's clear Drummer is in favour of pretty harsh -and final- action on the matter. So blowing holes into these guys' heads seems to be her way of dealing with such infringements, which also tracks with the OPA having developed…

I think he was part of the crew that tried to take over the missiles in this episode. Or at least, a fellow with Darth-Maul-ish tattoos was, not sure if it's the same guy.

He's traumatized. So violence and a tough exterior are a way to keep intense grief from surfacing. And in this episode it almost broke through.
