Clarissa's arc has been really lovely this season. I loved the interchange between her and Erich about names and how Amos 'found' her. I also really like that she reminds Amos "what would Niomi do" echoing back to the station and letting people on to the ship when the moon was shutting down. Amos hasn't given it that thought yet, or at least hasn't consciously done so and Clarissa wasn't there to see that, but it is an echo of the other time space was made to save more people.

[@barrymantelli8011]

One of the absolute best episodes (of the aftershow) to date. I loved seeing Nadine in person. Such an authentic and joyful human being. Her on screen presence is commanding, and her character arc is one of the more subtle, yet profound of the entire show. Second chances, or the ability to be better, means you're taking that part with you still. You never really leave it behind. Big concepts. I can't wait to see how Amos gets Jim to go along with this budding new relationship. :)

[@timcotton1782]

Wes, thanks a heap. I appreciate what you bring to Amos, and how he has been allowed to become more than just Naomi's psychotic co-worker. The slow reveal of how he became who and what he is, and the depth you give to that, are terrific. I don't think there's a character in The Expanse who is more clearly self-aware. Amos attached himself to Naomi because he couldn't trust his own judgement about when and how to deal with people, but over time, through his experiences with James and Alex, and more important, with Prax Meng, he restored a more normal sense of conscience for himself. Still, you are that guy. Thanks again.

I HATED Clarissa/Melba in Abaddon's Gate arc, right up until the end. Both in the book and the show. Now I low key have a crush on her. It's partly the writing, which is on point in this series... but there's a lot of praise to Nadine Nicole and her heroic performance too.

[@genomcyber7731]

@@mikek9297 when she first appears, i did not actually hate her. You could understand her reasons for revenge. She is not actually wrong in what she was doing. She says sorry and cries after killing that first guy that tried to help her hide what she planted in the ship. There you see she is more then a killer, she had conscience. She was only driven by wrong reasons. When she gets on Tycho, i think, as prisoner, and then someone gets her loose because they need technicians on something, the very person she wanted to kill fro revenge, she helps by compromising Tycho weaponry if remember correctly, it was happening in season 3 inside the gate, and ashford was insisting in shooting the station. You get hints of her personality. "Show, don't tell!"... you do see a lot just be her deeds and facial expressions.

[@moeshickenyay]

Best episode this season! I Think Amos is recognizing that Clarissa is his new Moral compass, and Berserker Clarissa is a great match for Timmy.

[@supertrendymoneymaker0722]

I like Clarissa she is a great reminder of her sister Julie Mao man I miss that character an wish they did more with her, but Clarissa Mao is still a great addition Holden’s team for sure. She has come a long way forward. Great episode with an intense shooting scene.

[@Dr_Will_Tarr]

As a book reader, this season follows the book quite closely. They left out completely the Free Navy attack on the Mars Prim-minister and he escaping on the RazerBack. But that would take up a full episode. Would be cool having the Rz escape with 90 friends in tow. The ark of Marcos is greatly expanded than in the book but the near death struggle of Naomi is perfectly matches the book. If they had 13 or 15 episodes (double the budget) per season, they could have a well rounded show but doing great job.

[@Bloodynine606]

How does it follow the book closely when 3 main characters have their entire storyline changed? Only Naomi’s and maybe Amos’ story are followed closely, but even Amos’ is half baked.

[@_Saracen_]

It feels a lot more long and drawn out compared to previous seasons. I love this show but this season felt a bit lost to me, like they weren't really sure what to do with it. It should have been a really intense and shocking season but instead I just found it a bit too clean and rushed. I don't really have the production/film vocabulary to describe it properly I'm afraid, best I can do. Had some great scenes though, casting as good as always.

[@wangtoriojackson4315]

One small thing I really liked about this episode is how it is demonstrated that Clarissa is serving as Amos' moral compass in the absence of Naomi. Whenever Erich calls the shots for something, Amos goes along with it because he's thinking like he used to when he lived his life like Erich still lives his, but then if Clarissa speaks up and says "No that's not what we're doing, we're doing this instead because it's what's right," Amos immediately trusts her judgment and backs her up. It's done so naturally that I bet a lot of viewers don't even consciously flash on it. Not a lot of attention is called to it, it just happens, because that's Amos, so of course it does.

[@briani4959]

One question I wish was asked is how they feel about Clarissa's feelings towards her sisters actions in season 1 after Clarissa got out of prison. She judged her pretty harshly then and couldn't understand her going against their father, I wonder how her perspective on that may have changed now.

[@takanara7]

They really don't talk about it much in the books, which was kind of annoying. There was actually a really good scene where could have had Clarissa echo Julie's "gone gone gone" line, but they didn't.

[@marielaberge8236]

When she was talking with Eric, she said something about how maybe if they didn't value people based on their usefulness to them, people wouldn't have thrown rocks at them in the first place. Meaning if they hadn't exploited and demeaned Belters and instead embraced them as fellow human beings, the earth wouldn't have been the object of a targetted asteroid attack. It's a short moment but I think it really highlights her character development from that woman who jealously judged her own sister.

[@briani4959]

@@marielaberge8236 I agree, that's what I was referencing in my thought. Since Clarissa's opinion on that has changed, she should also respect that her sister came to that conclusion before she did. It just would've been nice to see Clarissa connect the dots and make a comment about Julie.

[@TheDetailsMatter]

Peaches' journey is ironically toward the place where Holden was in season 2, where he told Fred that there shouldn't be sides. Earther, Belter, Martian... everyone is still human and should all be in one tribe, not several. The Pinkwater fight was always going to happen. Either you send the bully away without submitting and without establishing clear dominance (as depicted), and the bully comes back with his gang, or you kill the bully (or beat him and his bodyguards nearly senseless and let them slither back to their leader empty handed), and then the gang shows up in force to answer your challenge. It's not Peaches' responsibility that the island's security force forgot their mandate to protect island inhabitants the moment their comlink to the mainland went dead and instead declared themselves king of the hill.

[@alanpennie8013]

You have to remember the Pinkwater goons have reverted to exactly the kind of tribal thinking Amos and Eric grew up with. If they don't capture the copter or the shuttle they will die.

[@Riceball01]

I feel that Avisarala's prot4ests about attacking civilian targets doesn't come from just a change in thinking but from also knowing that attacking innocent Belters would only play into Marco's hands and drive more people to joining his ranks. She's smart enough to know that not all Belters are the same and not all Belters necessarily believe in Marcos and what he does. But if they start attacking all Belters, regardless of affiliation, she knows that Belters that are on the fence or maybe more in Fred Johnson's camp will likely change their minds and join Marcos. Regarding the military, it's really stereotypical and an old trope to portray all senior military personnel as being all gung ho and the only solution to every problem is to shoot it or bomb it into submission. In reality, military personnel, both officer and enlisted as well junior and senior members of both sides of the house, are much more nuanced than that. By this point in time, a lot of top military officers will have learned from lessons in the past that deliberately killing innocent civilians or even being over heavy handed with non-aligned civilians is a bad idea and just helps the enemy.

Que mulher bonita... and so talented. She's stunning.

Will there be an after show for episode 10?

[@Xanderoos]

Where's the episode 10 aftershow?

[@scottl.1568]

Thanks for this....

[@moeshickenyay]

Best episodes yet, Mansion firefight was stellar, and Were really seeing that Naomi is a real Steely Eyed Missal Woman!

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

The best scenes were on Earth and those scenes were too short because I felt shortchanged, especially on Peaches' scene when she took out that mob! All we saw was the aftermath! Boo!!!! 😃

[@lxc647]

Only Amos calls her Peaches

[@anydaynow01]

I thought it was cool because with the continuously shot fire fight I kind of forgot about it, then we come back to a crazy scene with her recovering form ripping apart half a dozen gunmen barehanded while saving the civilians! I think the shock of walking into the aftermath hit harder than if we were to see the special effects of the act itself.

She’s more frightening if you’re not sure exactly what she can do. Something that the original Alien movie did really well - don’t let the camera see the monster too often. Saves on effects budget too.

[@garlandremingtoniii4679]

TM Martin Hear Hear!! I couldn’t agree more with you my friend. Btw, just who is it, she killed? It cannot be the ones that she asked to come fly on the ship, could it be????

[@Lumpy_Pickle]

Would have loved to see Peaches actually go full beast mode and shred the rent-a-cop guys. Given time and money I completely understand why that sequence wasn't included. Also, Amos loves his shotguns but that is a short range weapon and a lot of that shoot out was a little beyond the reach of a shotgun. Not that anyone really cares. It was still awesome. Great epidode!

[@mirandadurbin3418]

Will we be getting an aftershow episode for the Season Finale? Or...was said episode pre-recorded and scrapped for obvious reasons? It's understandable, if so. I always look forward to watching these after the show and was sad to see there wasn't one.

[@AndreiOlarescu]

There is one now

[@s0litaire2k]

Gotta love Dominique's scenes and writing, she has virtually no words but her scenes just hit as hard as the shoot out.

[@minbari73]

All I got was annoyed. It reminded me of the episode of Babylon 5 where the doctor got stabbed and was crawling back from the bowels of the station and it was being intercut with this incredible space battle. GET ON WITH IT.

[@Barnyholmes]

That shoot out was dope!! Quite rightly said! 🙌🏻

[@thepanda7448]

yay! Michigan here too!

[@adamroquemore6410]

All the stuff with the mansion this ep was absolutely awesome; Clarissa, Amos, and Erich have a great dynamic.

[@davehocking4091]

Really loved Erich and Clarissa's conversation in the cockpit. Both absolute psycho nutjobs who still harbour a bit of distrust for each other having a relaxed, fun, friendly conversation. Clarissa "Should I ask?" Erich: " :-| I wouldnt"

[@tekkman4485]

I still cannot comprehend how she is 37 years old.

[@jaives]

it's the Asian blood in her (she's half-Filipino). My wife's the same. She's 38 but gets mistaken for early 20's. Meanwhile, I'm 42 and mistaken for my 50's. We once went to a spa and her masseuse asked if I was her dad.

@@gregorytate8514 met up with an old high school buddy 10 years ago back when we weren't married yet. introduced her to him as my girlfriend. He pulled me aside and asked if i was having a mid-life crisis. He thought she was college or something.

After I found out Ming Na was 57 it didn't surprise me Nadine is 37. Asians age as well as black folks.

Will we get to see Anderson Dawes 🥺🥺

[@Gunleaver]

While I don't dispute any of the stuff about Clarissa and how you are the victim of choices and pressures that you made or were imposed on you, it's also important to remember Ren and everyone aboard that ship who will never get another choice, because of what Clarissa did. The end of the world as we know it might free Clarissa from the prison her choices that stem from her awful family imposed on her, but it did nothing for the crew of the ship she blew up to frame Holden and won't restore the crushed skull of a man who only tried to help her and look out for her.

[@Skoora]

The shootout and escape at the end was amazing Television. Once again TV surpasses what you would see in a theater. Such a great rush to end the episode. Been my favorite show since halfway through season 1 aired on Syfy. If I could afford to keep Hulu it would share the honor with Letterkenny!

[@arwenwheeler2040]

That one, continuous shot really got my adrenaline going and put me "in it".
