Eric's "you smart, quick-thinking, BEAUTIFUL man" is probably my favorite reaction for this episode 😂

[@MoviesAndTvShowsAreSubjective]

Yup

[@Johmpa]

A fun fact about Frankie Adams, the actress who plays Bobbie, is that she's a former boxer and is hella strong. As such she had to pull her punches a great deal and didn't always get it right. The scene where Bobbie throws Martens into the TV so hard it breaks? That wasn't faked, she accidentally threw that actor so hard that the screen shattered. Props to Martens actor for keeping the scene going even though it had to have hurt like hell.

[@FaultyHammock8791]

I love seeing them turn to be fans of Bobbie now, and their love of Amos is only deepening. Shoutout to Rick for pointing out one of my favorite bits, I love the Janus/Iturbi scenes, and the dynamic between the two men as they start to get along more, it's more enjoyable every time. And now as far as I'm concerned, the crew of the MCRN corvette-class Karakum definitely were bringing pizza to the party. Expanse on Sundays is always a great way to start/end my week, kinda have to pinch myself every week that they're actually doing it. Can't wait for next!

[@CitroChannel]

I love that they're finally liking Bobbie completely now and that Eric's love of Amos continues to grow! Oh and Amos' actor is probably the best at handling guns on camera because he served in the US Navy when he was younger so he likely has more real experience with firearms than the other actors! Man, I can't wait for the next episode! The Expanse is easily the best sci-fi show in decades, baby! Also it totally was a pizza party.

[@MotelsonMars]

"Slap that boomer!" - lmao

[@chaost4544]

From my understanding when she beat down the officer, the actress playing Bobby forgot to pull some of her punches. The TV breaking was not in the script either.

[@FaultyHammock8791]

This is the correct attitude to have towards Captain Martens. Eric got me good with that one :)

The director said his biggest regret in the entire series (up until S5) was cheaping out on the incineration FX when Holden incinerated the pod in this one. I think it was a matter of getting the episode out on time more than the cost.

[@robertwinslade3104]

Naren Shankar (the show-runner) was also pretty regretful about the scientific inaccuracy of Alex's slingshot sequence in this epsode; IRL a manoeuvre like that would take weeks or months to complete

[@scottwatrous]

I really hope they can go back an remaster the series and fix a few VFX elements. This would be an easy scene to rework.

100% a pizza party. I agree with the notion that as long as there's a group of people eating pizza, it's a pizza party. Even if it wasn't a celebration of anything in particular, pizza being there makes it one.

Guys, you can clearly see them holding slices of pizza at 9:46. the guy in the front right drops his on his plate and the guy on the left just holds a slice up in the air but that slice is gone when it cuts back to him so he must have dropped it too

[@Hawk_of_Battle]

I love how they all seem to just be getting more and more excited everyone episode. This season is really great at just constantly kicking things up.

[@marcc1830]

High likelihood of a pizza party. 1.) Pizza is not standard meal for the group especially they are a para-military group and kind of in hiding, b.) there is an occasion to celebrate: leaving Ganymede, 3.) their guard were down. If they were still hunker down there, some of the security detail would be on patrol or look out. Holden and Co. should not have the drop on them Therefore pizza party :D

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

Wes Chatham, the actor playing Amos, was in the US Navy before becoming an actor. So that explains why he can handle his guns. But I wish actors were properly trained in these kind of matters before shooting. Because sometimes it can really break immersion imo

[@carrela1000]

Hopefully someone on Patreon or the discord or something tells them this because they would love to know

[@sparrowlt]

But Wes was an aviation firefighter in a LHD iirc (USS Essex)..i wonder how much weapons training they actually get... they must do some basic weapons training at least.. (Geoff Ramsey was mostly a photographer in the US Army and he said he underwent full weapons and field training)

[@mattdrahos2662]

2x12 and 2x13 are going to blow your minds:) You should look into Ty and That Guy podcast, it is Wes Chatham (Amos) and Ty Frank (one half of the original writing team). While the first episodes are dedicated to the 5th season, they go back to 1x1 and onward, they give great insight into the process and is good content in general.

[@scottwatrous]

I think it was a Pizza Party; they might not have all been there sat around the table if it wasn't some kind of party or occasion. Normally they'd just be getting their own food and eating on their own time. They seemed like they had gathered for some kind of deal. Even if that deal was just being able to get a bunch of pizzas and they're all taking a break to enjoy some good food. Like usually at work, you all do your own lunch thing. Unless it's a special event or party. And so if there is, you might get pizza, and so it's a pizza party!

[@kirkdarling4120]

The celebration would have been for turning over the hybrid to its buyers. A bit premature, however.

Hey, you guys need to take a closer look at the faces of the crew members, on the science ship. :) The ProtoGen scientists are Dresden and Cortazar, plus any others that might be floating around. They did use a nuclear warhead on the Anubis. It's gone. A plant needs sunlight, but if you focus light on it with a magnifying glass, it doesn't grow faster. It burns. It's rate of absorption, right? The protomolecule could probably eat the warhead, but not absorb energy released instantly, by the blast. That was fun. :)

"Where did Dawes go?" Everyone, including the actor, is asking that question. Hopefully they bring Jared Harris back for season 6!

[@robertwinslade3104]

I would love to see that; his character is actually moderately important in book 6 as well, having only really appeared in the first book before that (and then had a smaller role than he got in the show), so it would absolutely make sense for him to appear. I'm not getting my hopes for him to return up too much though; Jared Harris is a much bigger name now than he was during the first couple of seasons, and filming during the pandemic and having to bubble up/isolate might make it more difficult to bring in guest appearances like Harris/Dawes

[@kevinjustin7646]

In their Podcast ty Frank said, that he doesnt have enough time. But maybe season 6 (he had like 2 chapters in babylons ashes)

[@LINKedup101]

You need 2 things for a Pizza Party. Pizza and a party. They had the pizza, they did not have the party. This was just them eating lunch.

Depending on their jobs they obviously have different training specialties, but given how they've handled themselves thus far...I'd say they are good to go.

[@Aaron46L]

They have some experience, but Holden was dishonorably discharged and never saw actual combat and Alex was “a glorified bus driver”.
