The Expanse Season 3 Episode 9 Full Review and Reaction!
Hi everyone! Attached, you'll find a link to my full length review and reaction to Season 3 Episode 9 of The Expanse! Where is Holden going???!!!! lol
You'll notice that the camera ends up gradually turning a bit, so that toward the end, I'm less centered. Sorry about that. Nala jumped up on the desk and moved it a little with her butt over time (apparently). Cat lady problems.
The shorter, edited version is exporting. It'll be posted as soon as it finishes exporting and uploading. Thanks everyone!
All the best,
Molly

Nucleus and Nala, good band name. The show might feel like warp speed the rest of the way.
Just want to add the sphere/station inside the ring was show in the very beginning when they got in and found out that the torpedo was trapped and redirect towards the station. It just happen when Nala starts to mess around with the camera ^_^
This is sort of a negative spoiler in that this is all we really get on Clarissa's backstory through the flashbacks. If you think about it, Holden was basically a glorified bus driver who delivered Mao to Avasarala and it was she who sentenced him, remember her rant to Errinwright about destroying the Mao family? So I never really understood Clarissa's motivation in carrying out this elaborate plan to take out Holden. It might have been easier to try to take out Avasarala. I could have used a couple more flashbacks that shows a little of her planning stages, getting the implants or interaction with the videographer and maybe a reaction shot of seeing Holden on the big screen. I just needed a better understanding of why Holden and not the person actually responsible.
Holden is now praised as the "Hero of the Solar System", not Avasarala. She tried to stay in the background as much as possible, putting Holden in the position of the poster child of her moves to take down Mao. Avasarala exposed the traitor Errinwright, that’s what her contribution to the case was in the public eye. But anyway, if somehow Clarissa kills Avasarala, then what? Avasarala still remains an honorable and respectable statesperson, Mao a serious criminal and Clarissa just a despicable murderer. No fake video could make Avasarala a "terrorist", there’s no way to damage her reputation. Not so with Holden: if Clarissa succeeds with her plan, Holden’s dead, his reputation in ruins and he became a hated figure all over the Solar System.
I love Drummer. And Cara Gee. Both of them.
It’s also worth noticing that Clarissa had thought, like practically everyone, that the Roci was destroyed and Holden killed – until Soledad (the other woman in the late Ren’s service crew) casually mentioned that the "dusters" are now after the Roci and its crew, trying to capture them. Now Clarissa realized that Holden was still alive (just look at her face hearing the news), so her mission wasn’t accomplished. So, what’s she gonna do now?
Yes, we could see that nucleus or whatever object in the center of the "bubble" early in the episode, when Alex noticed on the scope and told the other two that the torpedo was still moving, though rather slowly. It was then that he also noticed that now it wasn't even heading toward the Roci, but toward that nucleus thing, and then we also could see very well that thing on the scope. You were just then talking to Nala and apparently missed it.
