He actually had it correct, the Anubis was the ship at Phoebe station and the Scopuli was sent by the OPA trying to intercept the Anubis before it got to Eros. Amos mentioned in this episode that the Anubis was at Phoebe and Miller had said in a previous episode with the data he got from the mechanical hamster (data broker) that the Scopuli was sent out to intercept the Anubis. This was the scene where Miller had the ship's orbital arcs hovering in mid-air when he was in his apartment explaining what he thought was going on to Octavia (the female Star Helix officer who had feelings for Miller).

Hey everyone! Some audio issues due to the AC being on due to heat, the noise gating did not like it. Hoping to have it fixed for 9 with the help of Davinci Resolve and the audio software. New mics(hypercarotid dynamics) on the way, we will be testing extensively to prevent this again, just unfortunately this occurred due to Mikey (me) moving and us shifting our setup without enough testing for audio. As this season continues to heat up, I hope you all enjoy our reactions and the increasing effort that we put into this! This one was my personal favorite so far just from all the action and answers we got! Cannot wait for the finale and more seasons to come! We hope our theories entertain you, or surprise you when they're right! Thanks for watching, and if you haven't subscribed make sure you do so! You won't want to miss the finale of this season, one week from today, with our Season 1 discussion at the end of the episode! Thanks again we appreciate you all.

I you look at Mormon temples here on Earth today, there is often a golden statue of an angel on top of the tallest spire. This is what you are seeing on the Nauvoo. A golden statue at the end of the central spire of the Nauvoo. The Nauvoo is a vast cylindrical drum with massive engines at one end and the angel stature on a spire at the other end. Also, it should be obvious by now that Erinwright knows a lot more than he is revealing and that the OPA are just on the sidelines and have nothing to do with the stealth ship, which is tech way beyond what they have access to. The OPA is not building the Nauvoo, Tycho station (an Earth corporation) is. Tycho station is in Belter territory hence there is a strong OPA presence there, but they are not running it. Fred Johnson, ex Earth Navy, is the Bossmang there.

I can't remember if it's in the show but the Mormons are planning on heading to Tau Ceti which is the closest star (12 light years away) that's similar to our own. IRL there's evidence of at least 4 super-Earths, with 2 in the habitable zone however there appears to be an extensive debris disk meaning those planets are probably at risk about 10x more impact events.

It's probably worth a moment of study over the course of the show to note how fans refer to characters by first or last name, particular the women. For instance, practically everyone refers to Naomi Nagata as "Naomi" while referring to Chrisjen Avasarala as "Avasarala." The same thing happens with other female characters later in the show. They will very consistently be referred to by fans by either first name or last name. It's not necessarily a matter of the character's age, either. That is the statue of the angel Maroni on the prow of the Nauvoo. Mormon temples often (or always...I've only seen a couple) bear that statue. I suspect the Roci AI labeled Kenzo as "Canary" based on Amos' remark. When Miller said to the Mormon, "You're getting out at the right time," you had just seen the news report of increasing tensions between Earth and Mars. In this series, background details help tell the story.

It seems unlikely that the Mormons would plan and fund some kind of intricate plot to get Earth, Mars and the Belt into a conflict that could escalate into war across the entire solar system, only to also fund a generation ship to take them to a solar system (probably Alpha Centauri) 100 years away, thus washing their hands of the Sol system. It just isn't plausible. Not even for a James Bond villain.

Something to note: the OPA as I understand it is not one unified organization. There are a lot of different factions. So if the OPA is behind anything (not saying it is or it isn't) it is very possible that no one else knows. As I understand it for example, Anderson dawes heads a faction based on ceres and Johnson has his on tycho.

It is clear to me that the mic used is only recording when it recognizes speaking, causing a delay where the initial syllables are lost. I don't know enough about technology to assume that a directional mic would solve that issue. it will be clear in the next episode that it was in fact the Anubis and not the Scopuli that was the ship from Phoebe station, but more on that later!

@@732ReviewCrew One of the (book) writers is a big Rush fan. There are several references to Rush and their song Cygnus X-1 in the series. One of the "biggest" is in this episode (also on a screen). There are more smaller ones in other episodes. Btw, in this song, the protagonist travels through the galaxy in his spaceship "Rocinante". So the ship name is not only a reference to Don Quixote but also to this Rush song. You already know it, this show is dense. But between all those important details, hints, and foreshadowing, there are also dozens of hidden references to pop-culture, other shows, movies, music, and books. There is a Simpsons reference in every season. Did you catch the Terminator reference when Miller went to ask for a Sherpa? The name of the shop was TechNoir. I could go on forever here... ;)

Its a fantastic show that sadly got cancelled way too early.

What is "extremist" about Holden's family is that they are patriot holdouts who have not bowed down to the Euro-centric socialist U.N. State. They retain land ownership and engage in the production of farm goods and trade. The Mormons are holdouts in a similar manner, though on a larger scale operating in finance and medicine. Most people never had the resources, will, and luck to have escaped the iron fist so long. Mars got lucky by developing a very valuable resource that gave them the edge to revolt and break away from the U.N.
