UNCUT - The Expanse Season 3 Episode 6
Comments (26)
I've watched the series multiple times and for some reason never really realized that Katoa asked Bobbie to kill him with that turn of the head. I just thought he was looking off to the side for some reason and that gave Bobbie the extra time she needed, but no he was showing her where to shoot.
Secretary General of the United Nations, Esteban Sorrento-Gillis - the 'bobblehead' Undersecretary of Executive Administration, Sadavir Errinwright - intro'ed in S1 ep2 Deputy Undersecretary of E.A., Chrisjen Avasarala - 'Bubbles' 😏 🫧 Cotyar Ghazi, Avasarala's 'bodyguard' and former UN Intelligence Agent with SIGINT. SIGINT (Signals Intelligence). Oh, lol.... I have heard at least two women creators reacting to this show calling Amos... ...Murder-Snuggle 🗡️🧸 (ofc just like you, starting out by hating him and then warming to him over time.) Ofc they will have new characters - ep7 starts book 3! Looking forward to hearing your opinions on the 'short-season' (if that's a spoiler, it was already spoiled here already (yes I know that was redundant 😜 )). 🤘😎🎸
Wait wait wait. How come nobody told these guys this was the end of book 2? And the "mid-season finale" from season 2 was the end of book 1? But that's why the mid-season episodes are so good in both this and last season. As of writing this I think you guys are getting ready to start season 5? Hope you enjoy the ride to the series finale.
One of the things I miss from the books it Avasarala constantly referring to the UNN Secretary General as "the bobblehead"
Has anyone else heard that this is one case where the show is better than the books?
Having read the books, I'd say the show is maybe 75-90% as good as the books, but not better.
Interesting, comparing Miller to Ned Stark, I can see that, in terms of acting chops and the "vibe" they both bring to the show. Agreed. Amos carrying the burden of killing, even if justified (and it sure as hell was) for Prax, God is that such a flawless moment. He IS that guy. And it is funny because I think early on in S1E2 Alex specifically stated verbatim, "you're not that guy". Ha. And lastly... the ending scene of the protomolecule "ship" emerging from Venus still haunts me every time I see it. The music helps too, true cosmic horror.
this is my favorite season of the series.
This is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series.
If Gunny and Amos went at it there’d be more damage to the ship than the hybrid did in the cargo bay
Whenever you guys make the "I am that guy" edit be sure to throw in a clip of you guys hating on him at the start
Zoom in on Alex saying "You're not that guy", then the bass drops and Amos THE GUY enters.
So nice to be a patron for a minute I want to be full-time next month! 🌷 I'm just one soldier girl okay I like Star Trek a lot I really enjoy the Next Generation and some of Deep Space Nine is really good I like Dax a lot and it's nice to see O'Brien and Captain Sisko is really interesting I like your Star Trek reviews even the ones I don't agree with! 🌸
And everyone lived happily ever after!
Yeah, "I am that guy" is probably the single most famous scene from the show, not that it's all downhill from here or anything. And not to worry, there are plenty of top tier Amos moments left, it's just this one really stands out. Seriously though, how TF did he get in there? I guess when he saw Prax close the door he decided to stop him before he crossed that line, and we're kind of seeing the scene the way Prax does, and he's so full of rage in that moment that he doesn't even notice Amos opened the door again. Also loved the deep "bwoom" as the door shut and Amos turns around looking at him like "did you seriously think you were walking away from this?" Regarding "Discount Jason Statham", he's a Lebanese American actor by the name of Nick Tarabay. Very underrated IMO. He's best known for playing Ashur in the Starz Spartacus series. He certainly has a talent for playing entertaining villains, but obviously not exclusively given his role in this show. As you've already seen the next few eps, I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to some of the new developments and characters, one in particular.
There’s lots of these kinds of moments in the future, with various characters! I interpret this moment as seeing it from Prax’s point of view, he is feeling so many emotions - finding his daughter, seeing Strickland, getting through the guards etc, he has a kind of tunnel vision shutting everything else out while he does what he thinks he needs to do.
Thanks to all of you, I really did love watching this episode this morning. It was the culmination of the second book which oddly enough they’ve been doing parts of the third book already they seem to want to do that overlap so that the season doesn’t end the same as a book Although who knows will they keep that pattern up overtime? Things are about to get very interesting.
"You're not that guy/I am that guy" is absolutely one of the best scenes of the entire show and some of the coldest, most believably on-character acting by Wes Chatham. Hats off.
One of my favorite episodes. There are plenty more left to go! Let's get with it!! Season 4!
I ask about 7 because I suggested to you guys a month or so ago to listen to the album Machine Head by Deep Purple. There is a connection.
We have watched through episode 9
Can't watch till later tonight. You guys watch episode 7 yet?
I think this is a great episode I can't wait to get home after work and watch
Alex regarding Amos in S1 "You're not that guy Amos. You're not that guy." Amos in S3 turning around menacingly "You sure about that?"
I am really enjoying the expanse journey with you guys, Today is my birthday, I’m off to get some breakfast, when I return I’m gonna sit back and enjoy the expanse season three episode six with the target guys I got a message this morning that said I got $10.00 billion from Venmo. I’m sure it was a typo but today shaping up.
Happy Birthday!
