UNCUT - The Expanse Season 4 Episode 2

About the air on New Terra -- While trees and plant life do create oxygen, it's the oceans can create a whole lot more. Besides, the whole planet was engineered by the Protomolecule anyways, so it's pretty moot

Closing the gap. I should be up to current reaction releases in another week or so. I think I'm closing in on the episodes where the boys start souring, despite Amos's Amosness

Alright, finally getting caught up. It's far from clear what Miller or whatever has assumed his form is trying to do by "flipping switches". Get the ancient machinery working again obviously, but to what end? That climbing scene though really amped the tension up to 11. Like forget the fuckin beanie Holden, and if I'm Alex I'm putting that rope over my shoulder and walking away from the ledge. Get my legs into it and drag him out of there ASAP. I respect Alex for backing off as soon as he saw she was married. Bro isn't a homewrecker. Well, I mean, he wrecked his own home, but that's a different story. Good on Amos for getting some though. He could have had a threesome with the reporter and her cameraman, but he's disciplined and saved it for shore leave. And finally there's Murtry. It's clear as day this guy is just looking for trouble. It's not entirely clear what took down the shuttle, they found a blasting cap, sure, but if it was used in an actual bomb there would be nothing left of it. They're mining on the planet, which pretty much guarantees they're using explosives regularly, so the evidence is hardly conclusive, especially given the metal bugs could well be responsible. I was on his side in saying Ganymede had nothing to do with him. Belters are super tribalistic and the constant persecution complex can get annoying even if it's not unearned. But shooting a guy for mouthing off in an argument, that's throwing a match in a powder keg, and he knows it. The guy clearly wants a massacre as revenge for what happened to the shuttle.

Arjun was recast because in the time of cancelation, he ended up getting other acting gigs that didn't work with scheduling. Aspect ratio is 2.39:1 any time we're on Ilus (even in orbit IIRC), 16:9 everywhere else

According to the books, Alex's accent and slang and taste in music comes from the fact that one of the biggest groups of Martian colonists were from Texas.

I think the original Arjun went to the series Foundation, maybe on Apple tv.

Burn Gorman is great in everything, Murtry is an awesome character
