Milena & Lola: I feel like the protomolecule is trying to say something, but what's it saying...? Protomolecule: There's an unlicensed brothel in sector 18...!

[@DarkElfPaladin]

The monkeys with a microwave thing is a reference to an analogy in the books about playing with technology you don't understand. If monkeys started playing with a microwave some might think it's a light because a light turns on when you open it. Some would think it just makes noise when you push a button. Some might think it's a weapon because things you put inside when you turn it on die. They don't understand enough about it to grasp the whole of what it does just as humans are poking at the protomolocule not knowing what it's really for.

[@jfu6413]

“…and no monkey has ever reheated a frozen burrito”

[@cinedelasestrellas]

The excerpt from the book is as follows: “Holden was starting to feel like they were all monkeys playing with a microwave. Push a button, a light comes on inside, so it’s a light. Push a different button and stick your hand inside, it burns you, so it’s a weapon. Learn to open and close the door, it’s a place to hide things. Never grasping what it actually did, and maybe not even having the framework necessary to figure it out. No monkey ever reheated a frozen burrito. So here the monkeys were, poking the shiny box and making guesses about what it did.”

25:55 "You break it, you pay for it" -Protomolecule

[@TheDetailsMatter]

James Holden was the invited guest. The Martian marines were party crashers. They barged in and started throwing their weight around, firing bullets at the invited guest. The room tried to erect a baby partition to keep the party crashers bottled up, but then one got unruly and did something destructive that the purple goo couldn't contain. So that crasher got himself turned into red mist. And a bunch of ships placidly following the speed limit suddenly got pulled over by the law thanks to the actions of the MMC.

[@Jmespo83]

Loved when Miller was telling Holden about falling with Julie. Plus the return of “Milowda” as the music while they are speaking. One of my favorite moments in the series.

[@dustinherk8124]

agree with you on that

[@tonycamas9747]

Like many have told you and will continue to tell you, you're asking all the right questions. The vision Holden had at the end was not supposed to be 100% obvious; it was a bunch of images without a clear through line or context. Later, when you have a better idea of what it meant (and you will), you will go back and it will make more sense, but right now, you took from it just about what most people took -- some vague ideas without confirmation and a lot of questions. It's frustrating, but also keep in mind the Protomolecule, the ring, the ring station/nucleus... all of this stuff is of alien origin; the beings that created all this stuff may not think or perceive reality exactly the same way we do, so you sort of have to rely on vague images and impressions to understand it all. You're doing great. :) One other thing I can tell you that may help (or may confuse you more) -- the episode description released with this episode talks about Holden seeing "past, present, and future." So when you ask if this is something that happened, something that is happening, or a warning of something that will happen, the answer is ... yes?

[@jrich749]

This is no a spoiler, and its extremely obvious on re-watches, but its a station log. No 'future' events are shown. Our system has 3 planets near our sun. The producers were very sad that so few people, that watched the show, know that information.

[@pushqrdx]

@@jrich749 yeah even the images with the portals and the sun beam it looked more like this is what the station saw, from its point of view, so yeah a log

[@tonycamas9747]

@@jrich749 I'm not sure where you're getting the "producers were very sad" stuff -- can you point me at a source for that comment? Because I consume enormous amounts of media related to this show, and I've never seen anyone associated with the show say that. I'm ready to be proven wrong, though. Show me. Also, for whatever it's worth, I quoted the episode description that appeared with the episode, and still does. I quote: "Holden sees past, present, and future." First sentence of the episode description. So interpret that as you will, but I'm just repeating what it says. Furthermore, if you look at Holden's vision and freeze the frame at the point where the sun is full frame but before it turns blue (about 39:03), you can very clearly see three planets, a tiny one in the upper right (presumably Mercury), a somewhat larger one in the lower right (presumably Venus), and in the foreground, a medium sized *blue* planet. Once the sun *does* go blue, the three planets are still visible and the blue one looks even more like Earth. Mars is not visible in this shot, but could be on the other side of the sun. Finally, it has been stated multiple times by people associated with the show that the protomolecule creators do not necessarily perceive time the same way we do, making the idea of a station log somewhat less concrete than what we might imagine. From Holden's perspective, the vision could be seen as past, present, and future, whereas to the protomolecule folks, it might just be a series of events without any timestamp. ALL of this is conjecture, of course, but please grant me that my conjecture (and that of the people who wrote that episode description, apparently) is at least as valid as yours.

[@fakecubed]

@@tonycamas9747 I don't know about the producers, but I am very sad.

[@Haegemon]

1.Miller was destroyed and rebuilt to fit on the specifications Holden requires. 2. In the show there isn't a multiverse, the rings are doors to other Solar Systems, perhaps in other galaxies, the Universe is the whole thing ever known. 3. The martian caused damage in the place, and the protomolecule just used him as a plaster to fill holes.

[@PHDiaz-vv7yo]

“Did it destroy the suit?” “No it destroyed him” Epic line delivery girls

[@mehlev]

I find it telling that "Miller" bliped out and back when Holden confronted him, it was definitely protomolecule manipulating him and then rebooting "Miller" with the memories necessary to be more convincing.

[@camzeee840]

Lola on Camina Drummer a.k.a Best Girl: "Why do I keep calling her Bobbie..." Immediately calls her Draper instead 🤣

[@Subjectivity13]

A star and its planets are technically called a "solar system." Drummer's rival is Ashford.

[@billross7245]

As proto-Miller said, The Investigator reaches out and is rebuilt when it exceeds its operating parameters. I think Julie was something that exceeds the operating parameters, or those memories weren't part of his programming, but to convince or manipulate Holden, they reprogrammed (rebuilt) Miller with those memories. I think that's what the delay was between disappearing and reappearing, they had to find the right files, lol. .

[@TheDetailsMatter]

How long was the protomolecule travelling? Probably a lot less than most people think. Consider the way it moved Eros. It was able to attain 15 Gs and still be able to move evasively, make itself radar invisible etc. So why would we assume that Phoebe simply drifted across the interstellar void? The builders grow themselves an ice ball around a generous portion of protomolecule and a big chunk of radioactive unobtainium then fire it off in the direction of a nascent star system that seems likely to produce life at some point. The protomolecule proceeds to do its physics-defying schtick and ramps up to a measurable fraction of the speed of light, crossing the void in maybe a couple hundred thousand years instead of tens of millions or even billions. Then it enters Sol System but then has to frantically shed velocity so it doesn't pulverize the target planet on impact, and it pisses away so much energy that it has nothing left to escape the absurdly strong gravity of that ringed gas giant over there and ends up becoming its newest moon. Oops. Oh, well, maybe the bacteria will evolve into some form that can eventually come to us. Bacteria are curious that way.

[@hazri8758]

I love the idea that "they" intentionally put Phoebe in the solar system.

[@MrJethroha]

Shooting a whole moon across the galaxy is pretty resource intensive, especially when you have millions of stars to choose from. If they were willing to send an object the size of Phoebe halfway across the galaxy, why did it need to land on a planet to do its business? Phoebe is like 1000x the size of Eros, just swap out 1% of the ice and rock with uranium or antimatter and it'd be a done deal, way more mass and energy than is contained in all the life on earth. If they need the life forms of earth as building materials, then why not just bring the building materials with you if you're sending a whole moon? Also, if Phoebe had enough energy to decelerate from 99% the speed of light to enter the solar system, escaping Jupiters orbit would be completely trivial. You could even save energy by just not reducing your velocity to the level that it could fall into Jupiters orbit, decelerating the last bit after you enter the habitable zone. Our probes seem to do alright navigating the solar system with way fewer resources. It seems much more likely that the protomolecule was sent in a more comet sized package in incredibly great numbers and at much slower speeds. It's not like all of them were going 100,000 light years away, some of them are right next door. keeping it on the scale of millions of years is like pacing yourself through a really big meal.

[@TheDetailsMatter]

@@MrJethroha Well, maybe it was a smaller garden variety iceball when it started out, and picked up mass along the way, in interstellar space, with no sunlight to cause the ice to sublimate and break apart. Maybe the plan wasn't to sterilize the target planet, or incinerate it, or blow it to smithereens, so uranium or antimatter wouldn't have been needed. And all of Dresden's self justifying hogwash about "an enemy that has already fired the first shot" was not meant to be taken literally. Regards bringing its own living raw material with it, great suggestion. Just hop back in time an eon or three and forward it to the builders directly.

[@omarholder9036]

Right and wrong. It was definitely millions of years. But think of what a year is. We measure a year as a time the Earth orbits the Sun. our concept of a really long time is millions of years. Their concept of time is beyond our comprehension, so we think they wouldn't send something that would take millions of years to reach us, but that implies millions of years by our timescale is long on theirs. Also, Phoebe was captured in Jupiter's orbit and not allowed to reach its destination. It didn't intentionally slow down or anything

[@TheDetailsMatter]

Saturn's, actually. Not Jupiter's. Slowing down would have been a function of its seed crystal running low on energy.

[@The_Sci-Fi_Slut]

As much as I love these girls and their reactions. I die a little inside when people don't know the diference between Universe, Solar Systems/Stars amd Galaxies

[@NozomuYume]

So let's explain it. From largest to smallest. Universe == EVERYTHING, containing many galaxies, Galaxies == Groups of stars in the universe that orbit around a center and contains many star systems, Star system == A star and the planets that orbit it.

[@EdwardLewisIV]

I get what you're saying. They aren't native English speakers so probably should just cut them some slack.

[@beratnabodhi]

It hasn't even been clarified in the show yet. They've seen a bunch of rings. All they know is they are some sort of portal, but even the show hasn't said yet where the portals go. *You* know, *I* know, but for all *they* know the portals are to other universes.

[@catika505]

Remember English is not their first language, and those are words not used often in day to day conversation so I think its very understandable they might get them mixed up

[@W0NK042]

At this point, we don't know _where_ those portals led. It could have been anywhere/when within our own, or any other, universe.

Thanks! Best part of my day is watching y'all watch The Expanse. So cool. (get ready)

[@jamesholland5761]

Great reaction and analysis ladies! I catch myself looking forward to your continued journey in this show! You two are the best! As always, yes it's frustrating that we don't get the answers as fast as we would like but a story this well written is in layers. Thus gives us a richer experience! Why is Anna here? Well I can't say much because of spoilers but I've learned over the years to say trust the writers! I love the conversation between Amos and Alex! Alex scared to death and Amos hasn't felt fear since he was five years old.... heartbreaking... The dynamic between Drummer and Ashford is so damn good!! After knowing what I know now it's so good to see the beginning of this dynamic! As always, I really can't wait to see your next reaction!

Keep in mind the only reason Anna is here is her pure curiosity and obsession with science. I imagine part of her religious experience is a deep interest in studying creation through science. From what we've seen she's incredibly brilliant, insightful, and has a lot of influence. Facing something completely unprecedented a true scientist would welcome all thoughtful perspectives. Obviously she should have put her role as minister first, but it's not surprising she has a

I was told that when you see Miller with the hat on that's our Miller (cop) , but when he has no hat on that's the proto-molicule "Investigator" talking.

[@SeaMarble]

if u are countering spoilers good for you! if you are not this is kinda spoiler-full. the hat is important, it's probably safe to say since 1) HOLDEN never saw miller wear that hat 2) it seems the proto-molecule has something to do with this mess 3) miller said "The Investigator reaches out and is rebuilt when it exceeds its operating parameters" 3B) who we see as miller refers to itself as "The Investigator". --------------------- SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT --------------- miller WITH hat is investigator. WITHOUT the hat is miller as close to the original as he can be.

This is the third time I've seen Holden's vision (and read the book). I finally get it.

Anna's a nurse. Her title Doctor was likely earned in divinity school.

[@cinedelasestrellas]

You figured the ending of this episode quite well - yes, you were seeing that there were lots of rings in the ring space, not just the one to our solar system. Yes, you were seeing lots of those rings disappearing, and yes, you were seeing that big blue energy beam thing shooting from the nucleus, through a ring gate, and blowing up the sun, which would cause the human race to become extinct. Also, notice that charging-up sound effect that the station makes before firing the energy beam.

[@Jonathan-ug9yu]

The stars, each one is a setting sun.

[@NigelSmith72]

Best episode of all 6 seasons - for me, at least. It sums up every theme The Expanse represents in a single episode… and at the end you’re left with the biggest “WTF?” moment of all. Also love the reactions to this episode… no-one seems to understand just how big the distances between solar systems are, so they can’t imagine that such an advanced technology would be used to travel such a “small” distance. As if we don’t drive cars to go a mile to the local shops…. Imagine what our ancestors would think ;)

[@NigelSmith72]

Just to list the themes: - Martians react to the unknown with violence; even Bobbie, who knows better. - Protomolecule sees humans as nothing more than useful tools - Naomi cannot be stopped… by anyone - Alex cares about his family… but gets carried away with emotion - Amos was clearly traumatized as a child… but still manages to do good - Don’t fuck with Drummer - Earth (Anna) means well, but keeps causing bad things to happen - Belters (Ashford’s speech to Diogo) are hopeless romantics, and it keeps leading them into bad decisions - if you put a button in front of Holden, he’s going to press it - Alien technology is beyond our comprehension… and yet we keep thinking it should make sense to us. - Human evil (Clarissa) is petty and stupid. But we keep doing it, regardless.

Other universes is preaty much the same as saying alternate realities. Not wanting to spoil it, but this isn't something this show goes into. Other Galaxies are massively faar away, and we have a clue about the protomolecule origin, because it came to our solar system carried by phoebe. Phoebe is extra solar (in reallity we have very good reasons to belive this is so, not just in the show), but that means it originated somewhere else inside our own galaxy, the universe is probably not old enough for something to have come from another galaxy at sublight speeds.

Miller had called Dawes "the patron saint of lost causes." Hmm. Or was that what Dawes called Miller? Anna has a PhD in Theology, which is why she's called "doctor," or actually it's "reverend doctor," but her practical training is as a nurse. What have we always seen has been Anna's "superpower?" She was the master speechwriter. She can give good sermons. Her superpower is her ability to get through to people. Drummer's second in command is Klaes Ashford. The actor is the highly acclaimed David Strathairn, who, like Jared Harris, would not be wasted on a minor role. Yes, if you freeze frames you can see the death beam pass each of the planets of our own Solar system, so, indeed, it was our own Sol that Holden saw being destroyed at the end of his vision. You do have some good conversations.

There is no faster than light travel in The Expanse. This is a very small portion of our galaxy......not multiple galaxies or universes. That's science fantasy....not science fiction. 😉 A dandelion cannot destroy a planet.....nor can a star destroy a galaxy. Star explode/implode all the time in our galaxy. If you count all the stars, in the universe, a star is going super-nova or becoming a black hole every second.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

Given what happens at the end of Season 3, the story needed to take a breath and create a new understanding for everyone of how things has so profoundly changed -- and how the ongoing disruption of the status quo affects humanity. Since things change so much, Season 4 needed to lay new groundwork so the story could continue.
