Rick rants on about the Szechuan sauce at the end. There's no way Afro Councilman would know about that. Also, notice how easily he messed up his hair so it went back to normal Rick. He could easily have done the opposite in the first place. No brain transfer necessary. Just a quick & dirty disguise.

She's also a little too blown to smithereens & dead to be present day Beth.

Studded for extra pleasure.

This was a flashback to 1998. That would make Beth at the most, 24 yrs old. ( If we assume she was 5 in the scene ).

Hahaha, I managed to snag Total Rickall. I wish I followed through & got the next Samurai Jack slot to make it more like the original DVR "troll collector item" but….whatever.

Every comedy needs a dipshit antagonist/ineffectual punching bag. He'll be back.

I want some fucking Mulan sauce now.

Didn't expect Errinwright to fall on his sword like that, even if it was to take down Mao. But I'm still half-expecting some kind of exit plan. He's a hard guy to trust.

Heh, I just saw the promo for the next episode. I figured it would be something like that.

They had to fire the proofreader to pay for the CG in the finale

I haven't read the books but one of the things I hear from people is how they emphasize that people raised on Mars & inside asteroids are basically agoraphobic by default. Fascinating stuff.

Very well put. I felt that—-although it probably wasn't intended——that scene kind of put sober analysis & skepticism itself in a bad light. As much as I like Iturbi as a character I'm a bit worried that his whole Drake spiel might make the Ancient Aliens crowd feel a little more vindicated and——God…

It felt like the whole Drake thing was just inserted for all the non-nerds in the audience. I mean, I'm pretty sure like 90% of all Expanse watchers have seen hours of Carl Sagan, Michiu Kaku & Neil DeGrasse Tyson rehash Drake ad nauseum by now. That & Michiu Kaku talking about Type I-III civilizations….

Haha, no " treated like ANEEMUHHS!!!" from Jared Harris this time. But at least we didn't get "They want a woah, we'll give them a goadamn WOAHH" from Bobbie again. Aghdashloo really conveyed Avasarala's cunning & people smarts this episode. I feel like Amos is having little micro-spurts of character development at…

.The thing us non-book readers don't know at this point is exactly HOW MUCH does the Earth & Mars governments know about the protomolecule? It's obvious there's games being played on both sides. No side wants the other to know that they know, etc. I kind of wish things would hurry up & get out in the open already. The…

Panspermia is still just a theory at this point. But I think it would make a pretty good name for a band.

Boy are they gonna be in for a surprise when their bodies start digesting food on Earth.

Well I'm pretty sure their narrative is that they stopped polluting things as soon as they became Martians but the Earthers stayed the same. Completely unfair comparison because of their planetary situations but that's the standard propaganda.

Pffft—-200 yrs ago happened in a book. That's how history always works in people's heads.

Muahahaa—-Earth gravity kicking their ass! This is off to a good start.
