It's the SOL Ring because it's the ring in our solar system and the star in our system is SOL. The other rings are probably named after the star in their system.

Alcon studies makes the show - not sci fi nor prime - they just pony up the cash

New Terra is meant to mean New Earth, not just "new land"

Regarding non-linearity of protomolecule, I think it hasn't been made clear on purpose. Some people think the PM runs in non-linear time. I have a different interpretation. This is how I think about it (I'm a book reader-no spoilers): * Protomolecule was designed to repurpose simple organisms * Its delivery system (Phoebe) got captured by Saturn's gravity when Earth had simple life on it. Billions of years pass * Some apes from earth (us) decide to leave the gravity of earth, and find Phoebe * The protomolecule starts highjacking these apes, which have consciousness, an emergent property of complex life. Something it wasn't designed for. On S1E9 we see Julie's last moments as the PM overtakes her, and she sees Miller and the bird. To me, this weird interaction of her consciousness plus the PM is what causes Julie these visions. It's her PERCEPTION if time that becomes warped thanks to the infection, not necessarily that the PM runs in non-linear time. But as I said, others could have a different reading.

the first time i watched this season i had to check if some scenes were filmed on the island i live because it's a volcanic island and is very dry and barren and some movies and shows have been filmed here but apparently the expanse wasn't one of them idk how the narrative of them reacting to LOTR came up but that would be great, or just any movie tbh you mentioned dome time ago that you mostly don't want to because it would be a lot to edit, but i think maybe you could just keep it as a patreon thing and upload it like the full episodes and we could watch with our own copies i know you said you prefer shows, but ngl, i would LOVE to see you react to some movies

O yea Ty Franck( one of the authors of the books and screenwriters of the show  ) and Wes Chatham ( our beloved Amos ) have a podcast that you could watch on YouTube . It is called Ty and That Guy ( Amos being that guy :) ) where they go and talk basically about their love toward movies and they talk about the show from Ep 1 until the end  and answer a lot of questions regarding everything. They have a bunch of guests from actors in the show, directors etc . It's fun to watch ,but it takes time and maybe it will be more fun to watch when you are done with all seasons . Anyhow  enough from me I have a feeling I'm writing Lord of the Rings how long this thing is and its possible someone suggested this already .p.s You definitely need to see if it is possible to react to Lord of The Rings its masterpiece , but if not reaction then just watch it for god sake it's almost a crime Milena didn't finish it . Molim vas :)

Just a suggestion ladies .From this season on you have bonus content with every episode . You could access it when you pause during playing and in upper left hand side of your screen there will be bonus content . Basically this season its After show with few min of actors talking with producers and writers about events of that episode that could maybe clarified some things that happen during the episode ( I suggest you watch it if you decide you want to after you done with your own after show so you could see how much you were right ...or not about some things :) ) and they also have some extra videos that are helpful as well . I mean its nothing you need to react to or for that matter necessary , but you will enjoy it ...I think ... Well until season 6 . Season 6 have basically in that bonus content 5 mini episodes ( about 5 min long ) that tell short stories , personal stories , of our crew . Some fun and some sad , but that is way down the line and trust me does you will want to react to :) ....Anyhow awesome reaction.

I hope Mob isn't being pushed back a week, will it come along with FMAB? Just wondering.

Seems like they’re only focusing on fmab and the expanse

We may need to explain the difference between a Solar System, a Galaxy and a Universe to these two. Or not and just let them be who they be🤷‍♂️😃

Tyler Jackson · June 18, 2022

I’m guessing they stopped watching the boys 😔

They replied to a earlier comment that they watched episode 2 but haven't edit the reaction yet so i'm assuming it's coming sometime soon.

Just about all reactors comment on how Amazon must have increased the budget for the show when they took over. They didn’t. The producers have said the production budget remained “essentially the same,” but say they (the producers) got better as they learned what they were doing season to season. The change in screen size was meant to convey the feeling of expansiveness (no pun intended) when out in the open on the new planet.

No worries.

If you do a Reaction to LOTR, then maybe I can finally get over myself and get into this movie series.

Do it! They're great movies. You can skip the Hobbit movies tho

Fantastic reaction girls. Good analysis of the politics also. As far as Clarissa and Amos go, i also considered what you say when i first saw this episode. Anyway, not gonna say more, but you'll love the 5th season.

Mr. Every · June 18, 2022

Or just some movies. LOTR would be too long since they said they don’t watch movies because they take forever to edit. But it would be cool if there was Patreon exclusive content like movies

S
Saumyadeep · June 18, 2022

Im so down for patreon only content in the form of movies. That would be great. Just post uncut with timer that would be enough.

Okay, that's it! You guys HAVE to watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy together. Please make it your next reaction and bless us with some legendary back and forth between you two.
