Yeah, there’s a reason this woman was nominated for an Oscar. She’s been content to smile and scheme, but playtime is over, bitches, and she wants Jules-Pierre Mao’s head on a plate and she wants it now. We’ve known she was canny and vicious and a political tiger - she betrayed a friend she’d had since she was a girl to get intel on the stealth ships, remember? But holy shit, the way she lays it out in Errinwright’s office was enough to make you pee a little bit. The rest of the episode is political cleanup of the Eros situation, but we simply must talk about the force of nature that is Shohreh Aghdashloo as Chrisjen Avasarala. I hope future episodes give these characters room to do more than just drive the Roci and hit people, because they’re definitely worth it. Alex is - consciously or not - constantly measuring himself against Amos’ examples of bravery and masculinity and finding himself wanting, while Amos couldn’t possibly care less about any of that. Alex is caught up in societal norms and what people think, and Amos doesn’t really care about any of that, he just wants to protect people who need protecting. It’s clumsy as hell, but so incredibly sweet, and a genuinely interesting exploration of male friendships. He recognizes that this probably made Alex feel emasculated, and manufactures an opportunity for Alex to reclaim his manhood picking a fight. When Alex is getting his ass handed to him by an angry Belter in a bar, Amos steps in to rectify the situation because it’s what needs doing. He sees things in their most simplified form, without BS or artifice. Ohhhhhhhh boy.Īlex and Amos are clearly the supporting cast of the Roci, which is a damn shame because the dynamic developing between them is just plain gold. Oh, yeah, she also totally lies to Holden. Naomi, on the other hand, is feeling her Belterhood quite keenly at the moment, and is much more sympathetic. Holden’s pretty pissed, not only because he’s kind of stupidly idealistic, but also because he vouched for Johnson and now looks like a total chump. And he’s certainly not wrong when he explains to Holden and Naomi that when Earth and Mars squabble, the Belt is the one that really pays the price. Fred Johnson has tucked them away for safekeeping just in case Mars and Earth decide to start getting rugged with each other, which in his defense does seem bound to happen sooner rather than later. 30 of them seem to have uh, gone missing. Most of those were safely detonated using the abort codes but. The bigger problem is those nukes the UN launched at Eros when it was still headed straight towards Earth. She lies wounded on the surface, with a being of an unknown species menacingly towering over her.Forget Protojulie and Miller and Eros for a minute they’re crashed on Venus and are, if not safely out of the way, at least out of the way enough for them to be the least urgent crisis. Only Martian marine Bobbie Draper remains alive - barely. The Martian ship, the Scirroco, is destroyed and the Marines are killed. soldiers and Martian marines are separately attacked by a ship of unknown origin. On an agro station on the Ganymede moon, both U.N. He says he'll use them as leverage to help protect Belters from Martian and Earth threats. He lobbies her to go to Venus on Earth's behalf, to investigate the Eros crash site.įred Johnson tells the Roci crew that Tycho Station techs successfully overrode and hauled in 150 nukes Earth fired at Eros. deputy undersecretary Chrisjen Avasarala he thinks its alien. While neither Earth nor Mars governments know the origin of Protomolecule, an Earth scientist tells U.N. It seemed at times like Amos and Naomi were a couple.īut when Amos doesn't go ballistic and instead razzes Alex about losing their bet as to whether Holden and Naomi were involved, it's clear Amos and Naomi were really "friends with benefits." Holden and Naomi tell Amos they're sleeping together. He saved Earth by convincing Julie Mao (or her consciousness) to steer Eros, the deadly, Protomolecule-infected asteroid, away from Earth and crash on Venus' surface. In the present, the Rocinante crew and the Belters on Tycho Station mourn and hail the recently departed (we're 99.9 percent sure of it) Joe Miller. The engineer, Solomon Epstein, says Martians were ready to govern themselves, but Earth wouldn't allow it. That's when a Martian-born fusion engineer developed a game-changing drive that allowed humans to use spacecraft to "colonize the asteroid belt and remake the solar system." Intermittent flashbacks reveal Martians desired freedom from Earth for nearly 140 years.
