@@Audi2Gunz I've seen season 5 but please don't post spoilers like that; do you seriously believe attempted or successful genocide earns respect? And, without S5 spoilers, there's a difference between taking a threat seriously and taking a group of people seriously. Wouldn't Earth want revenge and apply it to any Belters not just Marco's faction? Wouldn't the efforts of any Earther wishing to secure peace and make amends for years of exploitation now face more severe obstacles within their own systems of power?

I just want to remind you guys.. Way back when in Season 1, Episode 4 - CQB, this piece of dialog happened. "Avasarala's Grandson #1 : [sky peering on the rooftop] They're nothing to be scared of, you know. They're just little rocks that burn up in the sky. Chrisjen Avasarala : They're not always so little. Avasarala's Grandson #1 : You mean like the one that killed the dinosaurs? Chrisjen Avasarala : Uh-huh. Avasarala's Grandson #1 : Okay, that rock was big. But that hardly ever happens. Like winning the lottery. Chrisjen Avasarala : I worry about people who throw rocks."

The face/thin man you speak of at 26:30 has nothing to do with what Elvie saw or the beings that killed the Builders. That was Miller’s Protomolecule-infested corpse, still sitting on Venus. That showed up in the opening of episode 9, as real Miller was ‘reaching out’ to take control of the Protomolecule projection into Holden’s mind. I know you guys don’t really ever read these comments, but maybe someday you’ll read it, and fix this misunderstanding. The beings that killed the builders, as evidenced by Elvie’s fall through the ‘eye of an angry god’ artifact, appear eel-like.

Even in the book, I always believe he should have kept the piece of proto. He never know when he would need it. I never like this part of Avasarala 'loosing an election'. One of the most important thing about her is that she was never a politicians even when she has a firm grasp of it. She is a high ranking civil servant, which has very different sets of skills and usually more formable then a politician. This alteration from the book made her look like she is bad at it. She was very good at it, she just never liked being in the spotlight.
@Yesquire03 жыл бұрын
I loved how Avasarala described the true nature of just about every political debate: all sides are merely engaging in goofy speculation about what the future may bring and how one policy or the other might influence events. You can fight to get your policy enacted, but there is no reason to hate the people on the other side. If you lose, you can still think you are right, and you can still hope that the policy to be implemented by the winner will not be a disaster. Avasarala never had a chance in an election where the primary issue was keeping the blockade on the ring hub in place or opening the hub for people to emigrate to new systems and have a chance at a real life off of Basic. We don't know at this point in the ongoing story if Avasarala was right to insist on keeping the blockade in place until all the new systems could be fully studied as to any remaining blue goo threat, or, for that matter, and other weird shit still hanging around after a couple of billion years, but I think we will find out.
