The alkaline in match heads neutralizes the acid in bad coffee. Cowboys discovered that a hundred years ago. As you noted, this series is based on a successful novel series. The original authors of the novels are also on the screenwriting team, and they kept the series true to the novels. This also means they they know the entire story, so they've put a lot of foreshadowing and clues to the future in every episode. This series treats you like an adult, it doesn't hold your hand. They don't tell, they show, and they only show you once. There is no fluff, there is no waste. You need to pay attention to everything they show and say, because it's going to come back again later (maybe several seasons later). These first few episodes are universe building, especially getting you accustomed to realistic space physics, because physics and astronomy are like characters of the show. There are no phasers or force fields or that kind of stuff...this is fairly hard physics. It would even help to brush up on your high school astronomy to know the planets.

[@Justanotherconsumer]

This is fairly hard physics… for now. They’ll let you know.

[@kirkdarling4120]

@@Justanotherconsumer Yes. Being _good_ science fiction, they have to set up the rules first....

[@kevintaylor7627]

Great reaction! The Expanse is notorious for asking soooo many questions and not wasting time. Enjoy!

[@Harv72b]

Regarding the height and build of the Belters: in 2015, NASA sent astronaut Scott Kelly into orbit, where he lived for 11 months aboard the International Space Station. While he was up there, his identical twin (and retired astronaut--talk about proud parents!) Mark remained on Earth. Among many other, more subtle, changes, Scott came back two inches taller than his _identical_ twin. While the extra height, and most other changes, reverted back to normal after time on Earth, that does suggest that people who spend most or all of their lives in micro-gravity, like Belters, would indeed be physically different than those who were born and raised in a gravity well such as the Earth's. As others have pointed out, The Expanse is _science_ fiction. And it's also the master of cliffhangers with every episode, so get used to that! 😂

[@danbadd]

If you're already hooked you're going to love it. The show will just keep offering up satisfying character and story development until you run out of episodes. l feel richer for having watched it.

[@Justanotherconsumer]

Season 4 kinda slows down a bit, but it’s just packing in a bunch of setup for later stuff.

[@calicocat856]

I’m glad you’re starting to watch what is not only my favorite sci-fi show, but my favorite show of all time. And I am old enough to have been an adult when ST: TOS premiered. Yeah, I was a trekkie. Now I’m a Screaming Firehawk. 😊

You are asking all the right questions in your comments after. I'm looking forward to your reactions to the rest of the series. Subscribed.

[@thepenmaster]

And I am here for it. Comment for this episode, I was actually relieved when the Cant exploded. I thought, "oh, great. I won't have too many characters to keep track of, cause it was a large ship." The relief of having fewer people to remember overtook any shock at what had happened.

[@Yesquire0]

The Expanse was built for reactors in that the mystery aspects of the show make it really easy to discuss it after each episode. Your mind witll be filled with questions and theories you will be eager to deliver to us. In my totally unbiased opinion, The Expanse is the GOAT when it comes to TV series, and not just for sci-fi, but for any genre. Enjoy the ride.

Welcome to "The Expanse" my guy. You are in for a ride and the Expanse community is here to help you along the way! Cheers 😎

Can't wait to watch this one later. I think you're really going to enjoy this show. It took a bit for me (like eight episodes) to really get into it but once I did, I was completely hooked.

[@EvilAnomaly]

"Talk about tension"....oh you haven't seen tense yet! One thing this show is good for, just when you though you've seen the most insane/tense madness...The Expanse WILL one up that scene guaranteed all the way to the final episode of this series! Welcome aboard to one of the wildest rides you could possibly have in a tv show! Instant subscription from me for all Expanse Reactors!

I agree 100% every season also gets more intense as it goes on.

I'm going to suggest watching this episode again when you get to the end of the series. I think you'll be impressed how much this single episode sets up.

[@3Kings_Industries]

Oh man, i cannot wait for his reaction to ep. 4 !!!! All this, eps 1-3, is just the buildup, the rollercoaster climbing that first hill. Ep. 4 is when the ride really begins. And Does. Not. Let. Up. !!!

[@papa_xan]

Nice to see another reactor doing The Expanse. Depending on how familiar you are with our solar system, it might be helpful to familiarize yourself with where things are located. Unlike most sci-fi series and movies this show takes a much more realistic approach to space travel. Even though they have a faster way to travel than we currently do, they cannot travel at light speeds or anything close to that so it takes a while to get from planet to planet, and radio communications can take minutes or hours to get from place to place due to the great distances.

[@peadarruane6582]

Welcome to the expanse. I was hooked from ep 1 as well but some it takes a couple of episodes as the first few episodes give a ton of dense world building. The viewer is meant to be a bit confused but answers are coming. Can tell by your reaction that you are going to get this show.

[@evilvolts]

Glad you decided to check it out This show will draw you in.

[@StarkRG]

Here come the new subscribers. (new subscriber here) You think you're hooked now, just you wait. There are at least four points of "ok _now_ I'm hooked", this is the first, the second comes in another few episodes, the third is the first season finale and the fourth is the end of the first book (which comes partway through the second season). This show doesn't hold your hand very much, it presents the information and expects the viewer to figure it out. You can see this exemplified in how very little of the Belter Creole is actually translated for you. This episode we get "welwala" explained (it's literally "gravity-well lover", a gravity well being anything with sufficient mass to produce significant gravity), but there's a lot more Belter spoken without explanation. There's usually enough context to be able to figure it out. The lack of hand-holding isn't limited to the language, though, you just have to keep your eyes and ears open.

[@evilvolts]

I have been with Terabyt React since the first episode of Lost and was one of the many suggesting this show to him not a newbie here ]:P

[@Artur-qq1ef6zm1l]

and just like in the case of Mad Men , I decided to give this series a chance, because you are constantly watching it, which means that his is at least something ! and the first episode turned out to be quite interesting! Yes, at first I probably didn't understand anything at all, like you, but gradually it becomes more comfortable. The Detective seems to be a pretty interesting character abd he's just charismatic, and it's nice to watch him! but the ending of fucking atomic torpeds just amazed me, and I definitely want to see what happens next !
