I think it was somewheret the time that Amos was beating the dude with canned chicken and Holden was holding Naomi back as she yelled at Amos to stop. I think this was also about the time that Amos had started to try making descisions on his own. While he never fully gives his coonscience control over to Holden the way he did to Naomi, he does see that Holden is always attempting to do the right thing and sees the wisdom in following his orders (of course, Holden makes some really terrible descisions, but I'm not sure Amos realizes that at this stage).

@@StarkRG Oh he realizes it, but Amos also knows that the world is shit. The only thing he is looking for is a person who tries to do the best - always. The one who struggles until he makes a decision. He saw Holden do selfless stuff, he saw Holden do the hard stuff (killing ship, allow a beating...) he saw Holden how he handles his own mistakes, he sees the struggle and the will to do better/ the right thing. That is all he needs, because than he he can do whatever is asked of him, because he knows someone already tried his best to point them in the right direction. Thats why he trusts Holden more than Naomi at one point, who acted selfish and without self reflection. This is his way how he just knows, that he is not on the wrong team. Just perfect for somone who can't tell what is moraly right or wrong because he lacks the emotional triggers to experience it in the moment and not just in hindsight. A functional psychopath so to say.
@benjaminhendrickson5435 Жыл бұрын
@@joelquinn5347 To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with you, but looking at it in another way, Amos might be seen as the moral center of the show. Amos's rejection of Naomi's actions is the most impactful. Amos decides that Prax shouldn't live with murder on his conscience, but also that Strickland deserves death, and takes that burden on himself. Amos judges that Holden is a good man and worthy of loyalty. It is his vote of confidence that convinces Alex to follow Holden's orders. This pattern becomes even more apparent in later seasons in a certain redemption arc (I don't want to get specific cause of spoilers). It is interesting to me that the "psychopath" who believes himself to be completely amoral so often seems to be the deciding vote on moral issues on the Roci.

I think the key to Amos is that he's learned to see himself through the eyes of others - he knows he can't make moral judgements, and has trouble with empathy, but he uses moral lodestones like Naomi or Holden to judge himself. If he sees _them_ doing something he would, and he knows they would disapprove if _he_ did it, he tells them they shouldn't. It's actually kind of amazing - he found normalcy by accepting he wasn't.

The fact of the matter is, SyFy wasn't making the show, they were only distributing it. They had a deal with the independent studio that was actually making it, and the deal was just a really bad one for SyFy. I believe they were in a bidding war initially and simply overbid what they could afford and then foolishly tried to make it work but never were going to be able to. So it's hard to blame them for choosing not to renew, but it is completely their fault for signing such an unsustainable deal to begin with. They didn't opt out because of the quality of the show. It was strictly business. SyFy's costs were too high.

I know the novella “The Churn” digs into Amos’ backstory (I haven’t read it). My understanding of it comes from the show. As I understood it, back in Season 2 when Amos beat up the chicken guy and then told Prax what “bullies” like him do with people like Prax’s little girl… I took that as Amos indirectly telling Prax what *he* suffered in his childhood. “He’s a bully. And where I come from, bullies take desperate young girls like your daughter and force them into prostitution. And when they finally get knocked up, they peddle them to johns who get off on that. After they have the kid, they push them right back out on the streets even before they have a chance to heal. *And those kids…they use them, too.* Some people deserve to be punished.” As horrific as it is, all the pieces fit. It explains why he’s so broken. It explains his protectiveness towards kids, why he wanted to leave Earth. Again, I haven’t read the novella, but that was the impression I got from season 2.

I don't think the Protomolecule operates as a matter (generally) as reactions to actions, but that it's always been doing its "Work" with very little regard to what humans are doing, except for evaluating them for their usefulness to its "Work" and preventing them from interfering with it. I think all the parts are doing the same thing as they can wherever they are, so while the motherlode was disassembling the Arbogast, Katoa was disassembling his nurse. It regards everything in its environment as a resource for its own use. I do think Amos had to wear pumps at some point when he was young. Those pedophiles he knows so much about. Martians are very, very petty. So that's why they're still nattering about the Roci. They're just very petty. They won't let go of a bone. For a bit of background, Melba Koh is one of a number of contracted maintenance personnel for the UN fleet who are authorized to move from ship to ship...which is handy for her. Anna noticed that Melba appeared to need to talk to someone...as a minister, that's Anna's job and much of the reason she's there. What we get from Miller's jabber: The Loca Griega is running an unlicensed brothel. If it were licensed, the cops would know about it. But because it's unlicensed, they have to send an investigator to check it out. The Protomolecule has built what appears to be a gate. It's been "reaching out" but nothing happens. So it's created an investigator to find out why. In that last scene, the missile had a purple glow on its leading end, but the Roci did not. The purple glow has a meaning. Your attempts to connect everything are fruitful.

5:00 I'm probably mistaken but my take was that the Venus protomolecule took apart the Arboghast like an exploded diagram to understand spaceships in order to complete The Work. Then the Katoa protomolecule hybrid took apart the nurse like an exploded diagram to understand how humans work and what from them would be useful for The Work (not realising that it can't put a human back together again like it could've with the Arboghast).

I don't know if anyone else has brought it up yet, but you should definitely add the Netflix series "Dark" to your list for the next series. It's in German but is almost equal to the Expanse for depth of story and a completely different type of sci-fi. 3 seasons. Your love of analyzing everything and trying to figure out what's going to happen makes this the PERFECT series for you...but you're gonna need a big notebook!

Can add this now it's now longer a spoiler. Most of Millers lines are quotes from earlier seasons, most before Holden ever met him. It's trying things looking for a response from Holden. Holden has also never seen the hat he left it behind on Ceres back when he was a detective. That was a clue that it wasn't just a hallucination.

The story miller was telling was context. He couldn’t just say go in the ring slowly. The story references a sector incident, which then lead to doors and corners, because if you don’t watch your doors and corners and just run into a room, whatever is in that room will eat you. With the ring, it’s the….well ring lol, with the sector story, it’s the gang miller was investigating. It was kinda like he was using an analogy to confer a suggestion

51:14 I think it means that this version of Miller is created and destroyed over on over again within the protomolecule's consciousness. Just like in software, when you would, for example, spawn a new process for a browser tab and you would terminate that process when the tab is closed. "the door" in this case would be a two way communication. What he's saying is that the protomolecule is trying to communicate but can't find a way to do so. That's how I see it anyway.

Mars apparently wanted the Rocci back (no big surprise). So many good things in this reaction...

The investigator is Miller. He says "we're tools". The thing reaches out and nobody answers and creates the investigator to find the aswers, and destroys the investigator when it exceeds its boundaries, and builds it again and deletes him again and builds it again....

"Hate that hat." A few months away is not enough of a break for Holden. He already needs more go juice. Dude was willing to talk with Melba and try to help her get out of whatever jam she was in after finding a demolition charge she planted. That is VERY kind and considerate. Mormons, not exciting or normal. He snuck out some pliers. Which is not a weird thing to need, but he needed to do it in secret. Well the blue goo under the deck plating in the cargo hold hasn't assimilated the ship and crew so.... Well when the mystery is raised to prominence, it's hard to not want to know more. The Investigator lives a harsh existence. When all your sane options go out the window, you pull from the deck of crazy and desperate. The Behemoth would not be able to hold up to the onslaught if the Belter contingent on this trip is seen as acting in bad faith and hostile.

In the books it says that Melba has to swirl her tongue over a sensor in the roof of her mouth to trigger her super strength. So no, she's not crushing a tooth or something.

In the books Mars wanted the Rocinante back and had opened legal disputes but the disputes ended mostly in Belter tribunals who favored Holden.. also while Mars officially wanted the ship back they werent much "eager" to go after it (specially other MCRN crews who generally acknowledged them as legitimate owners) due to Holden role in saving Mars and stoping the war.. in the show it plays a bit different but mostly same and with similar conclusiuon
