Holden doesn't always make the "smart" decision, but he always makes what he believes is the "right" decision. Answering the distress call wasn't smart...but it was the right thing to do. If you don't go repair the antenna, you all die. His broadcast was insurance to make sure Mars didn't just make them disappear. Of those three decisions, two were smart...but all were right.

[@michaelshafer5192]

like 80-90% of viewers, you see Holden's decision as bad. I'm in the 10-20% who think that they were legally (and morally) obligated to answer that distress call. If I were stuck in space, I know I'd rather have someone who felt compelled to respond than someone who heard my pleas and ignored them.

[@sirimity]

The only decision I thought was bad, was wanting to go after the stealth ship, cuz he was just reacting to what happened to the Cant without thinking.

[@Drummer4President]

I’m in the percentage that thinks Holdens a little bitch for not owning up to it right away, letting his girl get shit for it. He’s the new XO, it’s not like he doesn’t have the authority to do something about it

There used to be a law in Alaska that it was illegal to not assist someone road-side (may have changed, this is via my parent’s stories in the 70’s). The theory is that it’s so sparsely populated, they might not see another person to render aid and it could be fatal for them. This seems like that type of situation.

In greywater, no less. The murkiness of the water they doused Miller in implies that it was sourced originally from drains to water the green-space's plants. What's a little shampoo between friends? Plants don't mind. This might easily be the second time Miller has worn this particular water.

Steve really wants to see aliens!!! 😂

[@katherineblackwater6717]

Don't we all?

[@SETHthegodofchaos]

6:28 This is a common misconcept that the vacuum is sucking the air out of the spaceship, but it actually is the other way around. The pressure of the air inside is pushing outwards against the hull of the ship. When it find a hole in the hull it presses itself into the vacuum of space. Here on earth we have gravity that holds down and pressurizes the air. This is also the reason why sub marines and space ships use direct opposite styles of design. Sub marines need to keep pressure outside (water pressure trying to get in) while space ships need to keep the pressure inside (pressure trying to get out). While we are at sub marines, the combat in space is actually closest to sea combat. Battles are fought over vast distances with torpedos and railguns while machine guns with bullets are used as defensive measures to blow up incomming missiles (since we dont have any energy shields to protect us, right? ;D). So since space is so large and vast it would make sense that there would also be pirate space ships roaming it ;)

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Simple physics and behaviour of pressure differentials. You also don't get sucked out of airplanes. You get blown out.

[@user-lv6rn9cf8m]

They demonstrated that at the iss when it got punctured. You can put your finger on the hole - no problem. Some tape fixed it.

[@incubo57]

This is not the same movie trope we see everywhere. As you can see they aren't being sucked out of the ship and the can move relatively well (considering they are under thrust). And they do a better job of portraying what would actually happen when the hull gets punctured in the next episode of i remember correctly.

[@17thknight]

Lol! I love Nikki shutting Steven down about aliens. But hey, it's a big universe out there.

[@ericreacts2]

haha I'm in the 4th season now and I don't think anyone ever mentioned to me that Thomas Jane was The Punisher!

[@jrich749]

A fan film was made, its like 15 minutes long, starring Jane as The Punisher. Its amazing.......and he was the best Punisher in my mind. Of course I was a fan of the comics in the 80s so I am probably biased. Bernthal was good......but he wasn't Jane.

[@thontor]

24:44 Yeah, Ceres (pronounced like "series") is running low on water and the Canterbury was an ice hawler that was bringing ice from Saturn's rings to Ceres station. I wonder how the people on Ceres are going to react when the water the Cant was bringing doesn't get there.

[@billross7245]

One of the great things about this show is that there is very little wasted events or dialogue and things that seem to be throwaway lines will eventually pay off. Even what the kid said who was stealing water is important.

[@geoffgreen2105]

Some hopefully helpful stuff that is fun to know: So you mention how hard on your body space travel is, and you're very right. Acceleration equal to 1 Earth Gravity (1G) is 9.8 meters per second, per second, that is to say every second, you travel 9.8 meters pers second faster than before. Just to keep it simple, we can round up to 10 m/s^2. So if you go twice that fast, 20m/s^2, someone who weighs 50 kilograms on Earth now weighs 100 kilograms. During the flip-and-burn maneuver on the Canterbury, they would have had to accelerate much faster to overcome all the momentum they had built up while traveling toward Ceres. Let's say it was an 8G maneuver, which is when they bring out the acceleration drugs. So someone who weighs 50 kilos at 1G now weighs 400 kilos, or about 882 pounds. Obviously, they can't maintain this forever, and roundabout 12Gs, you have a very good chance of popping a blood vessel in your brain and dying from a stroke. Any time a ship stops accelerating, the gravity goes away, and you're "on the float." This is why everyone wears the magnetic boots that attach them to the deck. Bear in mind, "stops accelerating" is not the same as "stops moving"! In space, Sir Issac Newton is the baddest ass motherfucker ever to live. Here on Earth, military fighter pilots have to train to handle G forces of 7 to 9Gs regularly, as the sharp turns and steep climbs their aircraft are capable of can cause a pilot to black out quite easily. A bit of a personal interest for you guys: In the book, we're told that Julie Mao is a brown belt in zero-G jiu jitsu, which is how she handled the guy who got too personal.

[@CodeMonkey76]

Interesting fact, not sure if other commenters have mentioned it, but the authors of the books the show is based on, started the story as a tabletop RPG game. The 5 characters on the shuttle were their 'player characters' and much of the story developed with how they chose to play their characters.

Totally unrelated, but i have drown twice. Once when i was 8, the other i was 13ish. Both i got saved. But honestly, drowning doesnt hurt that much. Its not physical pain like being burnt, or your bones breaking. Its more the feeling of eating wayyy to much food. And you blackout after a few seconds. I would actually prefer to drown or sufforcate then to be burnt alive or be in a huge crash. Etc. Drowning isnt painful, its just really uncomfortable.

[@Roguegunslinger1]

You say its Holden making bad decisions but its really only one decision. Answering the distress call was a moral and legal obligation. And only because of hindsight is it the wrong one. The other decisions have been fairly pragmatic so far.

@@NikkiStevenReact Law of the sea has traditionally required the same thing - you render aid to any one in need, and for the same reason, you might need the help next time. This is the "moral" choice. And sending a msg before the Martians pick them up - best choice you can make if you think they might have been the ones to ambush you - otherwise -WAY to easy to disappear, you WANT someone to know where you have gone and when if you go into danger...

[@Roguegunslinger1]

@@NikkiStevenReact I definitely get it. All the other crew are yelling at him for his decisions and none of them really want to go along with it. Most viewers rightly feel like you did, and I did too first time watching. It really helps to solidify what a morally gray world they are in.

[@jrich749]

That's who Holden is....and why we love him. There is no middle ground for him....its right or wrong.

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

I mean, I'd be Holden about the distress call, with no regrets but it bears noting that moral and legal imperatives don't always align with practical and sensible ones. There was a threat of pirates and the loss of bonuses to consider. The first is a physical threat and -- given the nature of working in space, in this setting -- the second can be more important than simple greed. So, while I agreed with Holden's decision, I don't agree that it was the only right decision. It was merely the right decision for one value system. And there is more than one valid value system.

[@matthewt1772]

Just started watching, but you’ve already keyed in on a recurring theme. They might as well just have a permanent subtitle: “The Expanse: Space is Terrifying.”

[@elocbmc7462]

One thing that's interesting to me about this show is how applicable some the lessons are to us right now. You can see some parallels in how the these factions interact and make political moves. It's interesting to think no matter how things change the humans stay the same in many ways. There's a lot of "world bulding" in this season. Every episode increases understanding of the Sol system. The Earth, Mars, Belter social-economic-political situation is part of the world building. Paying some attention to this now helps with later storylines and characters. I feel like Episode 6 is when the stories finally came together and world building kind of stopped being front and center. Such good stuff!

[@Aimee-Gemini]

Loving the reactions, Holden can react at times without thinking,but I don’t think every decision is always bad, he didn’t know the distress message was a trap and they needed to fix their equipment to send their own distress signal or be possibly be stuck floating around and end up dying. A bit of bad luck it got picked up by mars first. Anyways loving how much you guys are enjoying it so far.

[@ireton9105]

So happy your watching this show! It gets really engrossing further in. I followed you from the GoT days and I'm back for this. With regards 'Martians' - the show is set in a realistic future within our own solar system, about three hundred years or so from now. Humans have physically landed upon and colonized most of our solar system. 'Martians' are just humans from Earth who colonized Mars following on from space missions (like Elon Musk is planning at the moment, incidentally). It began as a colony of Earth but then gained its independence to become the MCR "Martian Congressional Republic". The Earth, meanwhile, has consolidated into a single federal state under a common UN government. The Belt is presently the solar system's backwater - still colonised by Earth and its people live in the asteroids and moons beyond Mars (i.e. Ceres in the Asteroid Belt, or around the moons of Jupiter and Saturn).Their labor is exploited by UN corporations seeking profit from the vast mineral wealth of the asteroid Belt and thus the 'Belt' is caught in the growing Cold War for hegemony in the Solar System between UN-controlled Earth and the rising power of MCR-controlled Mars, Earth's former colony turned rival.

All of the non-artificial locations in the show are real places in the Solar System. Ceres is a real dwarf planet like Pluto, and the largest object in the asteroid belt. It's actual gravity is very low, but you may have noticed in the first episode that the surface of the station appears to be the floor when you get inside. In the series many of the asteroids have been "spun up" to create artificial outward gravity. The show never get into specifics, but for extra info Ceres spins fast enough to simulate Mars gravity, which is roughly 1/3 Earth's. Not all Belters have this luxury though, which is why many of them have growth problems.

im sure you gonna love Avasarala she one of the best characters in the show :)

[@lendondain1]

Cannot wait for you to get to Episode 4, CQB! :D

From a logical standpoint, Holden was acting irrationally there. He saw his gf get blown up and is just purely acting out of revenge. Going after them for what? They showed they had ships that can fire nukes, so it's clearly a military type vehicle, while they are flying the equivalent of a pick up truck with no weapons on the ship or on them. So yeah, going after them would have been the dumbest move.

They just fired 4 Nukes and destroyed the Canterbury and you are in an unarmed short range shuttle.....

19:20 We've only seen humans so far and they went further than Mars, across the solar system! Mars just means people who colonized Mars and the colony has become indipendent.

It's really funny that Steven was wearing a Jon Snow shirt, because Holden is kind of a space-Jon Snow. 😂

It's hard to depict in a TV show, but yeah Martians are supposed to be somewhat taller and thinner in general because they live in 1/3 the gravity of Earth, and Belters are taller and thinner still because they live in *at most* 1/3 G (like the inhabitants of Ceres, which gets its "gravity" by rotation) but many spend a good portion of their lives in weightlessness. The moons of Jupiter and Saturn are also inhabited, and there are science outposts on some moons of Uranus and Neptune although there is no permanent population in those areas.

and a year later it's still scary out there. That sucks

[@woutervanthienen9765]

just hang on, next episodes are just -chef's kiss-

"I wonder what Martians look like..." "I mean, we haven't met one yet"... LOL. Psst... he's standing right there. :)
