Thank you, my friend!

Just wanted to alert you: there's a rumor going around (at least on Facebook and Reddit) the Amazon will stop streaming The Expanse in The UK and/or Europe at the end of January. This appears to be false. While some folks have posted screen shots of the announcement, others report it is a glitch in the way Amazon's software monitors the status of it's shows. IWO, the posting is a mistake. One of the authors (Daniel Abraham) hasn't heard anything about it, and is in the process of checking with his sources. Bottom line: don't panic.

Ty and That guy is a must for fans, I would love to have a breakdown after this is all done:)

@LightningInvoker very true and of course the complainers never saw that at all. @Muttley good point...so many ppl need fast pace at all times given their lack of an attention span. Talking and details are something they're not interested in. Just the "juicy" stuff. @Etta Eskridge You nailed it in describing why I think those who love this show end up loving it so much. You described my feelings towards the Roci crew perfectly! It's definitely one of the reasons (among so many) why this is my all time favorite anything ever watched on a screen movie or tv show!
Etta Eskridge
This episode features another seamless shot with the attack on Erich's crew as they prepare to disembark from Earth. Its so cool to watch it again knowing that it is indeed one shot and how amazing the choreography is ! Ty and that Guy do go into each episode in depth and this one is no exception. Wes recalls how ridiculously cold it was shooting those scenes at night!!
Etta Eskridge
Yes, IOW they never formed a connection to the characters in which case the show cannot mean much to them because the whole meaning of the Expanse is in finding yourself in the family you make and defending them to the bitter end. Sure its futuristic scifi but its also about love, loyalty and commitment to those you love. We become virtual members of the Roci family and the others around them as the story swells and magnifies. If you are only in it for the "pew pew" well, I feel sorry for that viewer and they cannot possibly understand the intensity of the bonds forged between the characters that we love.
Muttley
When you get to Season 6, don't forget the little bonus episodes (One Ship). They're small 5-6 minute bonus scenes that cover stuff not in the episodes and add some nice extra context. There's one for every episode except the last, and they're stupidly hidden away in the X-Ray -> Bonus Content menu in the Amazon player. No idea why Amazon decided to make them so hard to find...
Muttley
There are a lot of TV viewers who seem to spend more time on their phone than watching what's on screen and thinking about what's been said/shown. A lot of them get bored when it's "just people talking" and there's no spaceship battle going on...

Next episode is my 2nd favourite overall, my number one being 3x08 it reaches out.

It's from a poem that Arjun wrote for Avasarala. If life transcends death Then I will seek for you there. If not, then there too.

I firmly believe that Clarissa's story of tribes is more timely and prophetic than ever. While her actions may be questioned, showing mercy is a true strength, far more than being merciless and cold blooded. It is far more difficult to be strong for others, than it is to be selfish. The Expanse is a parable in itself.
LightningInvoker
Marco made so many pretty promises to the Belt, then when the topic of food came up he admitted there will be a few dark years ahead. But you can be for damned sure Marco isn't going to put others above himself. He's going to live like a king while millions of other Belters suffer and starve.
LightningInvoker
Yeah, when you think about it, Amos and Clarissa's arc on Earth took up just as much time. And if it's less it's because Naomi's directly affects the overall plot.
LightningInvoker
Such an emotional episode
Shawn Anomaly
"How can you not like this character?" You'd be amazed just how many ppl hated Naomi and especially in this season. It's crazy just how many ppl couldn't stand her arc this season. So many complained that it took too much of the season and I just sit back scratching my head at such a response. For me they did a brilliant job showing the absolute resolve, smarts, and nightmare one character had to go through. This is not even speaking on the absurd level of acting Dominique Tipper did this season to show the pain the character has to endure! Now it's time for the S5 FINALE and OMFG I can't wait to see your reaction to what's an insane season finale. Just when you think The Expanse has shocked you as much as it possibly could....here comes some heavy doses of MORE next episode!!!
