[@scmrph]

Love the moment the good doctor realizes Amos was sparing Prax, not him.

[@marchills4131]

Nicely said. Perfectly captures what this scene is all about.

[@Darth_Bateman]

“Good” doctor?? Mad scientist.

[@methos-ey9nf]

Yeah I wish they had played that up a bit more. The reaction is so subtle it's hardly there. I think Strickland only had enough time to conjure an "oh shit" in his head before Amos kills him. It's really a scene for the fans because we realize waayy before Strickland does that he's a deadman.

[@Skywiser01]

I hadn't understood the love for Amos til this moment. All I had seen was the guy who seemed deeply disturbed and a bit unhinged. This scene turned me to, "Oh damn, this guy IS awesome. Dark, ready to beat the hell out someone as a first measure, but he is ride or die loyal and will fall on the moral sword to protect others."

[@NBGEEKS]

Amos is loyal to a fault. He knows what he is capable of living with and he knows Prax will regret this even if he is justified. So Amos takes the burden from him and puts in on him, cause, he can live with it.

[@dickdaigle383]

One of the best lines in sci fi history.

[@smackfanxion]

You can drop the 'sci-fi' part. Best of all time. ...of course this serious has some fantastic dialog all around. Chrisjen's lines are awesome! But yeah... "I am that guy." Damn.

[@scottstewart9584]

I want Amos for my wingman.........

[@jiks270]

Me and the significant other were watching this for the first time earlier and as soon as he said "You're not that guy" we both said "I am that guy" which is such an mark of good writing when you know what the characters will do and say before they do it. Also, I am that guy ^^

[@gunnerclark]

Those four words "I am that guy" said so much about his character and what he holds sacred, In the last few years I have seen shows that rose above the cheap thrills of explosions and shootings. TE, Breaking Bad and Channel Zero are but a few.

[@ApriliaRSV4F]

you could say that about the character also.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

I love they Amos always had this complexity to him. He’s not just the muscle. He’s very aware he’s messed up, and knows when it’s ok for someone to stand on their two feet, and when they really should sit one out

[@kilotun8316]

Actually the best for this scene is the setup where Prax tells his daughter that Amos is "his best friend in the whole world". How true that simple statement was, is reflected right here.

[@aussiejed1]

And the look Amos gives him.

[@kw9849]

It gets even better: we catch a glimpse of Amos' contacts list in the next season, and one of them is "My best friend" .

[@adelepattonxxx]

Absolutely, once you are friends with Amons - his loyalty will help you infinitely.

[@Mike23443]

Knowing Amos enough, there is no suspense here, not that that's a bad thing. It's just satisfyingly consistent. As soon as Amos says "you're not that guy", I instantly thought "you are that guy though."

[@DoomPlague]

Yeah. I think pretty much all of us realized it and expected what was coming next...but still loved it.

[@IffyJottere]

Yeah. He wasn't saving Strickland's life... he was saving Prax' soul. Strickland deserved to die... but not by the hands of a loving father. By the hands of someone who's genuinely been through Hell, and he figures the best thing for him to do with his messed-up life is to keep people like Prax out of Hell, and putting people like Strickland in.

[@Triskaan]

A moment of appreciation for Prax actor. The guy more usually used to badass tough guys roles but he nailed the more vulnerable sides of Prax.

[@R4Y2k]

It's Terry Chen ;-)

[@timothydavidcurp]

And the gentleness which Amos says - "your not that guy" is just remarkable.

[@dusekdan]

I feel like everyone in this scene did their part amazingly. Even the actor playing the doctor, going from scared, to relief and thankfulness, to realization. Really well put together.

[@tauIrrydah]

I love that Amos spares this man from himself and an action that will cost him his SELF. Because Amos is that guy.

[@digijock223]

The production team and the actors made this scene perfect.

[@jtsamuron]

My only complaint is we should have heard the door open for Amos.

[@gateauxq4604]

I was looking for that this time but the sound cuts out for several second before Amos shows up so it was perfectly shot to keep the tension high while letting Amos slip in to ‘rectify’ the situation.

[@AlexanderShamov]

​@@gateauxq4604 It does feel like a discontinuity. Perhaps it would be better to show a glimpse of the door opening behind Prax, out of focus, not revealing Amos until he puts his hand on the gun.

[@timothydavidcurp]

@@gateauxq4604 perhaps, but in some way, this reflects that this is the confrontation between Prax and the doctor which is so all-absorbing for both of them. They are both so caught up in this confrontation that Amos' slipping back into the room likely wouldn't have registered.

[@dickdaigle383]

"I am that guy" I cant get enough....

[@GrayNeko]

What really sells it for me is Ted Atherton's (playing Doctor Strickland) dawning comprehension. Yep, Doc, he is that guy.

[@InsomniacDoggo]

It takes a great actor to play such a horrible character convincingly Kudos to Ted

[@GrayNeko]

@@InsomniacDoggo Yup. That was an awesome, if brief, role.

[@protorhinocerator142]

If anyone is that guy, Amos is that guy. That moment of realization though

[@BJ-bd5fc]

At the very end, he doesn't try and soften the blow or tell a white lie to the little girl. "He's not coming with us. Come on, let's go." Perfect...

[@CaneMcKeyton]

Amos saw what Prax was in danger of becoming, another him

[@Kempeth]

Nah. Amos knew that Prax *can't* be like him and would suffer greatly if he pulled the trigger.

[@zreeder21]

Nah Amos knows he's different. He knows prax wouldn't be able to live with himself, so he stopped him.

[@Andrei15193]

It's one of the nicest things Amos did for anyone. He basically took the burden off Prax for punishing a really bad guy and took it upon himself knowing that if Prax did it it would destroy him as a human, but have little to no effect on Amos. Even though it's still murder in cold blood it shows how Amos can be actually caring in this scene. A true anti-hero.

[@zreeder21]

@@Andrei15193 he's literally a sociopath, but a self aware sociopath.

[@Mugen0445]

@@Andrei15193 Remember. Prax did tell his daughter Amos was his best friend in the whole universe. Obviously Amos would move heaven and hell to protect his friend.

You asked for it...here it comes!

[@royce9018]

@@nshinkle2379 the books were a delight to read

[@smokenova]

Well, they cant really make a show about it. It was bad. Like realllllllllllly bad. In the book, Prax was accused of molesting his daughter and Amos grills him about it and cheerfully admits that if Prax had confessed, Amos would have killed him.

[@TheMadmanAndre]

Definitely one of my favorite TV moments. Pax was the first person Amos had ever called a friend, and the scientist guy hurt him. That dude was never going to leave that room alive.

[@nutbastard]

Amos also has a thing about people who hurt children. The thing that he has about them is that he kills them.

[@drewcwhitehead]

Um....what about Naomi...?

[@MrSuperawesome5000]

@@drewcwhitehead Naomi is more like Amos' big sister.

[@thomasmills339]

Amos, well most of the characters on TE are a " how to" on building arcs and backstories. Its great that someone finally did it right. Another example is Cas, hes a Martian, a navy vet, conflicting loyalties, a great pilot, he likes old blues, hes brave, hes east Indian with a texas accent because he grew up on a part of Mars where mix of Texans and Indians happened to end up and there is more. What other shows add this many dimensions to their characters?

[@BMags1]

Agreed!

[@kva7922046]

Houston especially has a large Indian population. Makes perfect sense.

[@joeyjojojunior1794]

Even classic Picard liked Earl grey tea and film noir mysteries cosplay but is quite shallow compared to Cas, Amos and Naomi. Maybe science fiction television has come a long way since introducing "main character's relative plotlines," like in Star Trek where Worf's brother shows up or Picard's brother's vineyard or Deanna's mother...etc

[@joeyjojojunior1794]

I want a video of Cas next please.

[@willardlarkinsnow5622]

Few actors ever get the chance to play a part in a scene so raw like this where the character they play comes so clearly into focus, all of the terrible things about them, the flaws that have broken them, along with their sense of morality and integrity. Its a level of complexity, completely exposed, ruthless and honest and terrible. Props to Wes Chatham for his acting as Amos. Few characters come close, and even fewer get to have scenes like this

[@MW-zy5gi]

Amos would make a good Terminator actor....incredible stone cold killer

[@cal5000]

He realizes he's problematic. But he's ok with it.

[@Necronox24]

@@cal5000 He recognizes that he is damaged so he tries to "fix himself" by tagging onto role models... but still makes bad decisions sometimes. No inhibitions.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

He can and will kill if he deems it necessary and yes, he is a damaged person and aware of it, but I would not call him "stone cold". He is actually trying to do the right thing, it's just that he is quite... pragmatic and radical in his decisions and he is following his very own set of rules.

[@marc2020]

Amos is a person who thanks to his past has no real moral compass. But he wants to do the right thing, so he attaches to people who he believes are doing the right thing and goes with it. He is a masterfully written character and I absolutely love it.

[@LoftyAssertions]

My favourite thing about this is how Amos says it with respect, he admires that Prax isn't like him and saves him from losing his good character. This show has so much depth to it's people, they are highly believable but exemplified to make good story, it's excellent writing and development.

[@thomaskositzki9424]

I just love Amos. Despite being crazy and homicidal, he still has a heart I think. Best line when he thinks he gets arrested when arriving on the moon after messing up some thugs who tried to blackmail him for money: "They started it and they were all still breathing when I walked away." XD

[@BrBill]

He definitely still has a heart. Both the books and the TV series show the evolution of his humanity.

[@rhonal4198]

I don't think he's homicidal. He'll kill when he deems it necessary but it doesn't mean he'll always do it. He has his logic and reasons.

[@thomaskositzki9424]

@@rhonal4198 Sorry, I am German so no native speaker... Doesn't "homicidal" just mean someone kills people without any hesitation? That is very much Amos.

[@cosmo6064]

@@thomaskositzki9424 "homicidal": capable of or tending toward murder; murderous. Amos has no problem killing, he however tends to not kill if not necessary. That is the difference.

[@lobal2]

Desensitized to violence, combined with fighting to survive. Possibly a highly functional sociopath.

[@itskarl7575]

When Amos stepped in and said "you're not that guy", it was obvious how the scene was going to play out - even down to Amos's "I am that guy." Totally predictable, but that doesn't matter. It's still satisfying AF - it's enough that Dr. Strickland doesn't see it. Until Amos tells him he is that guy.

[@meleardil]

That is exactly the point. :) YOU know EXACTLY what will happen the moment you see Amos stop Prax, and you also know that Strickland has no idea. THAT makes it so powerful. That you know something inevitable and overall satisfying. No drama, just cold revenge.

[@juni_purr]

My favorite Amos moment among many.

[@roamsalone4020]

It's only just over two minutes long, but it's one of the best scenes in modern films or serialized shows. Amos doesn't understand a lot about morality but he knows enough to understand that he doesn't know, and what he does know is if Prax kills this animal it'll haunt him forever and probably have a negative impact on his relationship with his daughter, and given Amos's background of having been born from and then enduring abuse at the hands of men like the good doctor he knows he can spare his friend from the taking of a life by taking it himself and not winding up on the unrighteous side. All that conveyed with 8 words, fuck I miss this show

[@MrSuperawesome5000]

Amos is such an intriguing character because he is so completely messed up to the point where he's almost a sociopath but it doesn't haunt him in any way. He knows exactly what he is and has no qualms about it because he's in a strange place of acceptance that most people will never be with who they are as a person. It's just so unique because when we're given characters like that in entertainment they're always almost mythical. Amos is very much human. You keep thinking, "when is he going to crack?" but it never comes. What you get is just vicious, brutal consistency.

[@ZeroMod]

Amos you magnificent bastard!

[@pepleatherlab3872]

The truth of the scene is that Amos understood Prax was the better man. The stronger man. In order to preserve his friends strength and moral integrity Amos stood in his place. What's another wound to a tortured soul. Besides, Amos recognized a fathers love for his daughter and wouldn't have it polluted with guilt. Expanse really had quite exceptional writing.
