When a thing can change the laws of physics in the blink of eye it could be considered as a god device. It's clear that the protomolecule creators are tens, if not hundreds of thousands years ahead of humanity. I might be completely wrong on the scale, but when things like that happen, it's clear to me that the humanity is way of its league. There is absolutely nothing we can do, even our ideas don't match their level of thinking. It is almost as if the Ring is made from magic. Yet, it's a clearly a biomechanical device, a gateway between the stars.
Thanks to its magical properties Naomi managed to escape almost certain death, when her ship console decided to go super nova. We can only imagine how many people were injured or rendered dead when the alien nexus put on the pacification measures. Maybe back in the day, when these big rings were formulated, the creators had same problems as us acting out our chaotic nature. It is only a wonder that people didn't go totally crazy, when those laws of nature changed.
Imagine for a moment a city and its vehicles controlled by slow zone field. Nobody could ever go above the speed limit. It would be an ultimate way to pacify and force the control. In other words the slow zone technology is a nightmare. Just look at what happened to Bulldog and Drummer. They got in really bad place, being stuck between a machine.
Their conversation the most hilarious thing in the whole episode with the old man moaning at the captain being a captain. At the end I loved that Drummer won and Bulldog was forced to stay in his place, moaning and gibbering their effed up situation.
I'm glad they showed hypostims being real in the Expanse. We still don't have that technology, but we are very close on being able to make them absolutely real, chemicals included. It might be a matter of decades before they become standard items in the first aid kits. In her shoes I would have probably taken double for just in case. Especially after seeing the corridors full of floating dead people. I cannot remember similar situation in the Star Trek other than something that happened in the Voyager.
In fact, most of the time ST has avoided showing these scenes even though it's completely plausible that at some point mass casualties is the reality space travellers are going to face. So, it's really educational to see how bad things can get out there. More so then we ever saw in the Star Trek or other space series.
While that's true I started crying, when it became clear that Drummer had accepted her predicament. The PTSD's started playing in my head and I had to pause, because I got so emotional. To me she's up there with other females in the series, immortal in her own right.
Why is it that I love strong females? I don't know. They are just super cool.
Things to do in the chaos, have a conversation with subconsious man with a knife stuck on his arm. I laughed so hard on Alex condition. If all had been wearing Martian power armour, things would have been fine as Bobby's crew was mostly uninjured, even though they lost their lieutenant, when the event unfolded. Therefore, if you ever get to space, always wear a power armour. Avoid Earth tech, if find yourself in the Expense Universe.
That is so primitive compared to shiny Martian tech, but it's even more plausible. I strongly believe that suit would work, while the other one is a bit too fancy. I wonder what OPA models look like. Maybe they are geared towards the mining operations in the deep space.

Two episodes to go. You can assume that the final is going to be a two parter.
