This episode revealed something about Marco which I really liked. He loves to give speeches, he loves to fight and be the 'hero' but when it comes to actual statesmanship and the reality of building a nation he isn't interested. Its a good way of showing his real underlying reasons for his actions. His priority is his own ego, not helping Belters.

[@hellfish2309]

Exactly - he’s like Robert Baratheon, but shittier

[@garethking5322]

[@robertcartier5088]

My take on the Naomi/Amos confrontation: When Naomi tells Amos that he should find somewhere else to be... She is speaking in the moment. She is pissed off and recommends that he back the fuck away before shit gets real. In no way is she suggesting that he leave the ship for good. If it wasn't a couple hundred years in the future, the line could have easily been replaced by the more contemporary expression, "get outta my face while you still have a face!"... lol

[@Kennia1998]

EXACTLY thank you

[@davedahl4461]

I took it that Naomi was pissed off at Holden for being classic Holden. And well let’s be honest Clarissa did try to kill her. She took her anger out on Amos and Amos in turn took it out on Holden for being Holden. It’s like that in families under stress you don’t let things go that you usually would.

[@blackgirlcouchreviews]

Thank you. They are all angry, tired, grief stricken and it’s forgotten she didn’t just try to kill Holden but HER so yeah so Holden forgave her don’t mean I have to readily do so after I JUST lost a family member and I’m not over my guilt of it.

@@Jtzkb You are may be right... There was a hint of that in his voice and the way he looked.

[@danbadd]

While I'm frustrated at Naomi holding resentment towards Peaches, in her defense, it wasn't just Holden she tried to kill. She had Naomi pinned down and was about to crush her neck when Anna saved the day. Holden was gone, Alex and Amos were in the medbay. That moment of extreme homicidal intent was just between the two of them, and that might be a little hard to shake.

[@sparrowlt]

works actually better than in the book where only Holden seems to hold a grudge on Clarissa .. when in the show it was Naomi who got fully assaulted beaten and nearly decapitated by her.. Holden didnt even saw her until they were both locked up in the Behemot and then he doesnt see her again until she saves the whole day for humanity.. so Naomi being the one to hold a grudge makes more sense... Also is a nice avertion.. Naomi is not a perfect character..she is smart and a badass in enginering but she makes mistakes and can be an asshole too often... Book Naomi is much more mild

[@graystark240]

@@sparrowlt the issue is that so far: 60% of the story revolves around Naomi. That’s cool and all, but every other character is more interesting. Which makes it easier to root for them over Naomi who is a great actor but an annoying/frustrating character

[@MarkAtTrees]

@@sparrowlt In the books, Naomi is sympathetic to Clarissa even at the end of book 3 when they escort her back to Luna, because of Naomi's past involvement with Marco and the blood on her hands. So she understands being on the wrong side. Also, Clarissa in book 3 could have killed Naomi, but let up for some reason. Anna's intervention played out a bit differently.

[@thontor]

Just a reminder, here's the message from Cortazar to Sauveterre just before the Barkeith got eaten going through the Laconia ring: "This is to confirm that the sample arrived safely. We are already seeing beautiful results. By the time you arrive, I hope to be ready for third phase construction. I am confident that the structures are stable, and I believe, still intact. With enough time and proper equipment, I have no doubt that I will be able to decipher the control patterns. Even with the sample in... [unintelligable] ...responses from underground structures all over the planet. They're all interconnected, just like Ilus."

[@Reedstilt]

Seems like they're still missing the fact that the Laconians smuggled the protomolecule through the gate before the main attack. Also, the sunbird on Laconia seems to have been injured because Cara fed it - like giving chocolate to a dog. Or human food to a quarian.

[@gpaje]

The crew of the Roci are so tired, they stopped suiting up for potential engagements in case of hull breach, but Drummer's crew still does it. Just a note regarding the season 5 finale, the protomocule made it to Laconia, the Doctor in the message mentioned they received the sample and it's already effecting the Ring Builder Ship Yard. That's why the ship yard was turning blue at the end of last season. They even mention that the Free Navy are getting titanium from Laconia, probably from the ship yard.

[@EnQuestOfficial]

i think the reason that they weren't suited up at the start of the episode was because the free navy ships caught them by surprise

[@Triskaan]

Okay, so someone will probably have to tell them to rewatch last season's finale scene. The protomolecule sample did arrive safely on Laconia, it wasnt aboard Sauveterre's ship, but they missed that info. :)

First of all sorry for my bad english Clarissa or Peaches also almost killed Naomi in season 3, Clarissa try to bash Naomi face with the mech thing. Thank god Anna the preist came to taser Clarissa, Naomi is 100% dead if Anna didn't came to taser Clarissa. That is why Naomi still hesitate to trust her. Anderson Dawes in the books, still play an important role in this season story, he is still the Governor of Ceres and he's the only person who managed to convince the remaining loyalists of Fred Johnson's OPA to join the Earth and Mars War Fleet Alliance in order to fight Marco Inaros and The Free Navy Fleet. Instead, Camina Drummer will take over that role. They decided to kill Dawes in the show, because Jarred Harris (the actor that played Anderson Dawes) is too busy and couldn't came back to the show to reprise the role. It is very unfortunate, because he is such an amazing character. Sorry for my bad english

[@babyshan211]

Naomi and Amos's fight was really about her being mad at Holden for putting himself in danger. And she's still holding a grudge at Peaches for trying to kill her and Holden. I do agree with Amos that she, Naomi, messed up before and they forgave her; and the fact that Amos brought Peach abroad, Naomi needs to have more trust in him. I don't like seeing my family arguing. I hope she apologizes to Amos and they move on from this. So interesting/funny that Flip is now realizing and feeling the guilt of killing all those people; and that his Mom was right and now he has pushed her away. He is definitely spiraling, his behavior here is definitely a cry for help. Also, I love the callback to season 1, when Holden was hitting the drive to make it finally deactivate. It was just like when they were first stranded after the Cant and they were fixing the ship they were in, to get more oxygen and fix antenna Good first episode😊

Fun fact, Laconia was the name of the country that Sparta once ruled, later a province of the Roman Empire, now a municipality of modern-day Greece. Mars of course is the Roman god of war, which the Spartans were very adept at, so Laconia is not a bad name for a new nation founded by the most martial of former Martian military. ;)

Guys, they took the Protomolecule to Laconia last season. That scene in the last episode of S5 with Cortazar (the P-Mol scientist) giving a report from Laconia mentions it. It isn't unaccounted for or lost in the Sol system somewhere. It didn't cause the ring to vanish anything. The angry dark 'gods' (ring entities) are getting pissed off from all the traffic through the gates. The Martian separatists/Laconians took the PM to Laconia to activate stuff their and study it. It's why they had that female officer chat up Alex last season about his experience on Ilus.

[@emmanuelbaj3944]

I always feel like the show never wants me to like Naomi for more than half a season at a time

[@Deckaio]

I don't like Naomi, she was lying and withholding information all the time and got annoyed if someone was not 100% truthful with her. Nothing against the actress, she does a great job and she is written consistency, but I simply do not like how she behaves and what decision she makes.

[@moproodu]

in this case Clarrisa straight up tried to murder her. Like, "had hands around her throat, literally about to make naomi die" murder her

[@raesnest]

Naomi lied about destroying the protomolecule because she gave it to Fred. Yes, it was something that negatively impacted the morale and trust of her crew but was also for her own disenfranchised culture and ultimately was just a philosophical difference between them all on what actions they should take politically. That is not the same as literally murdering dozens in the Ring, causing the deaths of hundreds more, and trying to murder the Roci crew, including almost strangling Naomi to death. Like, I like Clarissa and Amos but pretending like those two actions are in any way comparable beyond a very surface level or acting like Naomi is unreasonable to not want Clarissa around is just ridiculous.

[@Deckaio]

@@raesnest Naomi was part of Marco Inaros crew and the OPA, she has her fair share of blood on her hands as well. But this was just an example. And I absolutely understand her disdain for Peaches. She came across holier than she is actually is, several times before. Like going off, after the crew decided to help Dr. Meng instead of hiding on Tycho. Or leaving the crew in a critical moment, instead of going after protomolecule. She abandoned the crew several times before, chasing her "own" goals instead of sticking with the crew and a bigger goal. I'm not saying that she's a bad (Or bad written) character, I simply do not like her decisions and behaviour in general.

[@raesnest]

@@Deckaio Naomi never tried to ship up with the families of the people she got killed on Luna and those families were never just expected to get over it. I'm not saying she is perfect or always makes the right choice (even though I agreed more with her in the Ganymede choice and about the Protomolecule sample scenario, the way she did that wasn't right) but it's disingenuous to try to compare Naomi "withholding information" or choosing to side with Belters with Clarissa literally committing premeditated murder, multiple counts. Even Naomi being a part of the reason for the Augustin Gamarra explosion is not as comparable to what Clarissa planned for literally months.

[@Kennia1998]

I mean Naomi has the right to not trust and dislike Clarissa that's 100% valid. She almost killed her lmao

A lot of people watching this episode forget about season 4. Remember Elvi talking about 3 life niches on Ilus: there is our niche (Earth life), protomlecule niche (that they adapted to themself) and domestic niche. Non of them are mutually compatible. What is good for everything in one niche is not necessary good for anything in other. Those organisms they had in eyes were not trying to kill them. The eyes were just good water rich environment and these organisms could be harmless for everything in domestic niche, but we are not from there. That bird died because of eating breadcrumbs Cara (that girl) gave. There is more about this in The Expanse novella Strange Dogs (same as title of the episode), but I try to stay in spoiler free territory.

By niche do you mean biomes?

@ the whole tree of life (for example whole known life on Earth). I think Elvi used term "niche", if I remember right.

Laconia is the province in Greece where Sparta is located. The word, "laconic" directly references the province, and describes the minimalist responses the Spartans tended to give to people who dared to try to threaten them. The most famous incident took place when Phillip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, had started to conquer or suborn the Greek city-states. Philip II sent a message to the Spartans that said, “If I invade Laconia you will be destroyed, never to rise again.” The Spartans replied, “If.” Phillip II decided to leave them alone. :)

YES, Eric! 👏 Dominique Tipper is bloody brilliant as Naomi. It's one thing to be bothered by the character's choices and/or actions-- but to discount the depth of Dominique's portrayal would be ridiculous. Unfortunately, there are many ridiculous people in The Expanse's fandom who claim Dominique is a weak link in the series. They're ludicrous. 🤦‍♀️ The only actor who periodically didn't feel like a good fit for the character I envisioned after reading the books is Steven Strait as Holden. Now, to me, he IS Holden, but initially he felt too nerdy/gentle. Interestingly, Steven Strait turned out to be a nerdy, gentle, fatherly and considerate man; so, his true personality shun through enough to be initially distracting. Conversely, Dominique's playful, bubbly, flamboyant and talkative personality has never been evident within the show. This is similar to Cara Gee's true personality in contrast to Drummer's.

3:21 My take on that opening scene with the little girl was that she fed the alien bird something, and it wasn't good for the alien bird.

She intentionally set out to murder innocent lives, framed more innocent lives, tries to kill Roci and then tries to kill Naomi. That’s nowhere close to coorelatinh Naomi or Amos just because murder was involved. We all know Naomi is the most forgiving person when warranted but other than being Amos BFF she hasn’t proven a damn thing to make anyone forgive her and sorry sometimes just ain’t it.

It did feel evident that they were adjusting the pace for a six episode season, with parts of this episode a lot of scenes felt very condensed and more like snippets of longer scenes. Felt it especially in the scenes with Holden on the asteroid with the drive and the ending scene with Philip in the bar where he finally loses it. Both lacked moments of pause that we would have normally got with a 10 episode season. It’s not normally evident when you have a show starting with less episodes in an early season, the problem with it especially happening towards the end of a show is that you end up with less time to fit in more characters, not to mention time spent on Laconia in the opening. I was hoping with them doing this we might get hour long eps but seems we’re getting the standard 45-ish ones, I worry if I feel it like that in the 1st ep, is the entire season gonna feel rushed?

I've seen people react to Ted Lasso so they should be good. Was really disappointed with the fight scenes in ep 5. Then later on, the creators explained that it was filmed during the pandemic so they had very strict restrictions.

Anyone notice that the animals on the alien world seemed to 'feel' the activation of the proto-molecule ship in orbit? Curious.

The "dog" isn't really a natural lifeform on Laconia

Really enjoyed your guys take on the whole Alex the character vs the actor thing. Alex was a member of the family, fuck that guy but I really respect The Expanse team for not just trying to "forget" about him.

My 2nd favorite show of all time behind The Knick. Truly stellar

The first five minutes was too much for me to take as a book reader. My gawd the last triology is so damn good. Also why is it always hard for men to understand h the emotional logic of women. Amos doesn’t understand the small complexities here. He’s just seeing it as a decision she doesn’t like and not oh I had to watch as this women tried to kill my family, killed innocent people intentionally, then tried to kill me if it weren’t for Anna and she’s snuck aboard without her knowledge which ok but I haven’t spaced her and I didn’t say a rude word so maybe understand I’m going through way more complicated shit right now than just being nice to your new BFF. They both have points and are wrong and Jim had his say that’s doesn’t automatically mean she has to be forgiven. Amos and Naomi always butt heads more because of their bond; she is both a sister and a mother like figure to him and that’s why they fight more as to be expected with all families and thus what I like about the crew is they aren’t atypical Star Trek but real people who sometimes can’t stand each other
