The Expanse 5x02 Reaction

If haven’t read the book Novella “the Churn”, it is Amos origin story. No spoilers you know how Amos exits Baltimore.

Excellent reaction girls. Looking forward to the rest excellent episodes of this season (and of course the final season)

It also makes so much sense now why Amos always followed Naomi in the first 2 seasons, he finally met someone truly "righteous" as Lydia would say and he felt that even though he couldn't actually be like her, he could at least protect her and follow whatever she says, it also explains his devotion to Prax, Anna, Holden, and Alex. All morally correct people who he feels the world needs.

Whoa, Lola really had the waterworks flowing in this episode. 😭

One other interesting note: Sandrine Holt who plays Oksana, one of the belters in Drummer's new crew, also plays Howard's wife on Better Call Saul :).

Always enjoy your discussion after each episode. Looking forward to the next 14 episodes :)

Because of the uncertainties of orbital mechanics, it's almost impossible to target asteroids to hit specific spots on any planet. In fact, there's always some uncertainty on hitting a planet at all. There's a certain amount of luck involved. You'll just have to wait to see how "lucky" Marco is...if at all. 😀

I wonder how much their gonna love the belt next episode. Lol

Oh and regarding your comment about everyone always being from the US, the funny thing about that is almost everyone involved in this show on every level from cast to crew to extras is Canadian. So Im sure they empathize with you on that.

John is a term for a prostitutes customers. Unless its classy, then theyre clients. And Erich is a German spelling, but we don't really have that German "ch" sound in English so it's just pronounced Eric.

In the US, "Johns" is a common term for men who hire prostitutes.

It's honestly really hard not to binge the rest of the show from this point

Not necessarily to excuse Nancy Gao's attitude towards Avasarala, but remember in their first scene together back in S04E01 Avasarala was just as dismissive towards Nancy on her legitimate opinions too. Both of them are certainly acting a bit juvenile, but I think they both see other's actions as deliberate ploys to try and cut their main policy at the knees (Colonial Expansion for Nancy, in this case). Nancy basically thinks that Avasarala is throwing hail-marys to find something that will weaken the UN's (economically successful) expansion into the ring worlds.

Heh, how many episodes did you binge all at once?

The switch on Amos' face when he realizes that Charles really did care about Lydia ("T..tea sounds great.") is maybe my favorite small acting moment in the show

Congrats on 200k Subscribers!!! 👏🏾👏🏾
