To be technical, they ARE recapping the show on this site.

Sweet? Fucking Jesus?

Shame if something happened to it?

And their Proto-babies?

That was Earths ambassador to Mars who died last season (and presumably one of several, since he was on Earth and sufficiently expendable for Avasarala to screw him over). The guy this episode was the Mars ambassador to Earth, presumably sent specifically for these peace talks as opposed to whoever holds the fort at

Spacebase wasn't bad, it was simply abandoned in a buggy, incomplete state yet not removed from sale nor refunded. I don't have strong feelings about it since I didn't buy it, but that's objectively pretty shitty and an abuse of the early access model, especially since many people did buy it due to Double Fine's good

Everything has a porn parody. Including porn.

Avasarala whipping her head around with that big smile on her face as she shut down the Martian ambassador was the best part of the episode. I feel like Bobby's reaction to Earth should have been more intense than staring out a window, but maybe we'll get that next episode.

As soon as Holden and Amos came back in it was obvious that the guy was going to die; I've consumed too much media to think that anything else would happen. Holden was right though, once they had the ship signed over to them the toughs were going to kill that couple as loose ends.

And it ends in 'ysis'! He may not know much, but he knows he wants to defeat 'ysis'

Alas, he did not drop the lightsaber, slicing himself in half and saving us the annoyance of his presence.

Someone likes/relates to the captain of the Canterbury?

It has split audience issues; some are watching on SciFi and getting counted by Nielson, a lot are watching on Netflix or in other countries and not getting counted.

We ARE Struggling Together!

"I'll only ever play it at home, rendering the portability gimmick pointless"
And here I was, liking it because I could pick it up and wander around the apartment with it instead of planting my butt on the one chair without an awkward angle to the tv.

Hasn't he had about 10 shots at seeing what rash and impulsive does to people in this world? If it seemed like he was learning from his experiences, it would be one thing, but he isn't demonstrating any increase in savvy.

Are there any dramas with teen kids that manage to make them not excruciating every time they pop up in a plot? Madam Secretary doesn't do it, nor did Designated Survivor before I gave up on it. The last teenager I recall actually enjoying even when they did something dumb was Alexis in Castle, and that was years ago.

"OPA having developed from terrorist origins."
Earlier this season they blew up a transport just before the 3rd in command of the UN boarded it. To a large degree, they still are a bunch of terrorists and gangbangers, with people like Fred and Dawes trying different paths to legitimate them.

Wikipedia indicates that everything Cara Gee has done to this point was Canada releases, though there was a webseries in there.

But that was different for a couple of reasons, among them that they had only a repeating beacon to go on, not people on the Canterbury itself, and the captain fully expected it to get reported by one of the two idealists on board and therefore cover his ass with the crew.
