The Expanse - 1.06: Rock Bottom

[ctg]

Guess everyone forgot.

Spoiler: Episode 6 Comments

I had a wee problem on understanding producers showing Belters taking an action against Martian frigate. The space doesn't belong to anyone, but yet the inner planets are acting like dick. But was there any reason for the Belter captain to chuck out his mate in the cold space and abandon him on his own hope. Who is going to save poor fellow when there is a war going on?

Another point was with Fred trying to take Rocinante from Holden's crew. Why is he acting like he can take whatever he wants, when it was him who invited them into the Tycho Station. In the book he actually explained there was little to no point on acting that way, and he even offered Holden's crew his own expense account in return for them participating on trial.

Also what is UN undersecretary really up to? How does she know Holden's in Tycho station?

Anyways, Expanse continue showing the best space opera in long time. And to be honest, with them taking science so seriously, especially on showing orbital mechanics and zero-g environment, this series is (IMHO) on fast track on taking over new BSG as top space scifi show.

I assumed that he was actually trying to save his nephew, although quite how long he would have in that suit is not detailed. BTW loved the use of beer cans in space in that scene!

There was a bloke shown filming Holden whilst in the bar, assume that's how she knows...

I thought that bloke was the spy she requested.

Yeah, looked like the uncle was giving the kid at least a chance to survive in what is probably a normal commerce route before taking his kamikaze shot at the space cops who had rousted them. Unclear if he released his rocks to weaponize them or just to get the speed he needed to close the distance before the cops could react.

Looked like one eye was either replaced or augmented by a camera. Slick tool for a spy.
