"Gunny" is Bobbie's rank, it's short for Gunnery Sergeant.
When Frankie Adams threw the other actor into the monitor, she really did throw him hard enough to break it, and she was like "oh shit" after the take.
Re: Alex's slingshot maneuver, the VFX folks for the show said on reddit that they actually screwed up that part. When they filmed the previous episode they picked the moon Cyllene for him to hide behind because they thought it sounded cool, but later found out it was one of the farthest moons out from Jupiter, and had to work out a way for Alex to get back quietly. That slingshot maneuver in reality would work, but it would have taken weeks, if not months.
syngyne yeah it definitely would’ve taken many months
Yeah he was doing Hohman transfers with the RCS and Cyllene takes two years to orbit Jupiter, so to get down to Ganymede, he wouldn't have been moving much faster than Cyllene itself taking him roughly a year, if we say he takes half orbit to get down to Ganymede.
They didn't mean to shatter that TV during Bobby and Martines' fight, but the actors just rolled with it.
Good acting on the guy who's getting his ass literally beat haha
It actually was a grenade that started the chain reaction. It blew up, then the protomonster hybrid woke up & slaughtered it's way to the airlock.
7:18 "we're about to see a dragon" lol Nahid, you do make me laugh!
"Here there be dragons" is a metaphor for danger in general. In old maps people drew dragons and other monsters to dangerous places
I love watching you guys react to the evolution of Bobbie Draper. It's so much fun. :D
The protomolecule Esceeped! - I don't know why this had me crying in laughter but I just got a new vocab word that I will use for the rest of my life! I'm a big fan of all of you guys. Much love 🙏
14:31 - Start of my favorite sequence in this season. :D. wtf kinda grenade was THAT?!
Edit: effme, nvm 16:00 lmao
18:01 - C'mon, save the scientist that was performing horrific experiments with alien technology on children. Give her a hug!
9:55 Since most of these moons are absolutely tiny and would give him very little push, it would really probably take months. But at this point the story demands he makes it in hours, so...
Can you react to the trailers for S3 when you are done with S2??? Pleaaase!
11:13 - "This is Treason, though." True, Suraj, but a little random reference in our own history: Admiral Wilhelm Canaris. Without him, we might very well have lost WW2. One man's traitor, another countries hero.
Just some military info. "Gunny" refers to her rank as a marine. It is a nickname for a marine that has achieved the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. Leaders (non commissioned officers) in the enlisted rank structure.
13:40 this is what "Slingshotters" in the show do there adreneline junkies that do this shit for fun.
They constantly mention famous slingshotters on Belter news when they die or set a new record.
Its amazing the attention to detail the show does. Like in S1 there was a slingshotter that died.
Here be dragons" means dangerous or unexplored territories, in imitation of a medieval practice of putting illustrations of dragons, sea-monsters and other mythological creatures on uncharted areas of maps.[2][3]
it's a quote from the old maps
"Have you ever been with a warrior women?"
Gunny
Gunny Sergeant
Gunnery Sergeant.
Let that outro music play, y'all.
This is GREAT tv
That was a grenade
two Expanse reactions nice
Pretty sure it was just "Here be dragons" that was written on old navigational charts. "Here there be dragons" is weirdly redundant and contradictory.
Also please watch your audio recording levels as you are maxxing out badly it's distorting !
Cool episode. Any mention of Dragons set off my GOT vibes. What people forget is the Proto-Molecule converts Energy to Matter.... More Energy turns into More Matter.
ChrisJen stay bad...I swear.
Where is Vikings?
Gunny did all this because she have serious serious PTSD.
upload Vikings
"I wonder if Flat Earthers like this show"
LOL
They do, but they treat it like Game of Thrones: A gorgeous fantasy about impossible things.
@@allyourmoney Facts
The name "Gunny" comes from her rank, Gunnery Sergeant.
There are a lot of people in the military with the middle name "Eltee"
"here there be dragons" is what old navigators used to write on the map in waters that were unknown.
Her name is "Roberta Draper", usually goes by "Bobbie", and because her rank is "gunnery sergeant", she is sometimes nicknamed "gunny".
And it almost sounds like one of you read the books, because that one was on point this episode!
Hey guys, has anyone ever told you they started watching The Expanse because of your reactions? I would love to think you’re bringing some attention to one of the best shows on TV.
Are you guys going to react to the season 3 trailer?
"Here there be Dragons" is a metaphor for the unknown as it was used to mean dangerous or unexploreed territoties, much like sea monsters were drawn on maps where noone had actually visited and returned to detail the area. The phrase "HC SVNT DRACONES" (here are dragons) can be seen on the Hunt-Lenox Globe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt%E2%80%93Lenox_Globe from the 1500s which is seen around east Asia (and may refer to species like the Komodo dragons which were common throughout the area. An earlier variant for Roman & Medieval map makers was "HC SVNT LEONES" (here are lions) when marking unknown areas on maps.
The last few episodes of season 2 were amazing. The pacing is so good. So glad you guys love this show so much. It's a crime that so few people know about it. Hands down the best science fiction series ever made.
That was one quality beatdown Bobbie delivered on Cpt. Martens. Both actors really sold it that day.
Suraj: "I wonder if Flat Earthers like this show."
Me: 😂😂😂
haha too late! I got to see ep 12 for free one week ahead of time! no redemption or taking things back in the age of the internet. :)
I love this enthusiasm omg I wish it was shared by the mainstream media
Martian! You are on UN soil!
Actually, he is not controlling the glide motion of the ship, it is all computer run except when he fired the thrusters at the last second to avoid the ship.
That slingshot trajectory that he plotted around those moons would realistically actually take weeks or even months , to complete - and not the couple of hours they showed in the show.
Especially if he was doing it without the Epstein drive and using just manoeuvring thrusters.
Also, there's no way you'd ever be able to see the moons in that close proximity to one another (the scene after he completed the trip) no matter what their current orbital positions were.
They're just too far away from each other and space is just too damn big.
As is Jupiter (for reference, Earth is smaller than that famous red spot or red "eye" on the surface of Jupiter which we can see from Earth. So imagine how far apart and how big the orbits of its moons are, relative to both Jupiter itself and just relative to Earth even.
This show takes a ton of liberties with the physics and science part.
But that's cool.
Yeah, they definitely took some huge artistic license there, but the VFX were gorgeous.
Naren Shankar admitted that mistake in a guest post on Daniel Abraham's blog. By the time he realized the mistake it was too late to change it. He wished he'd picked a different moon, but oh well.
www.danielabraham.com/2017/04/04/guest-post-losing-science-drama-finding-drama-science/
Well at least he owns up to it.
Unfortunately for them, they made it only too obvious (or even more obvious) with that holographic display showing the whole mapped trajectory which right away gave away the fact that there's no way he was making that trip in a couple of hours or even days.
But still, it looked gorgeous and was well acted.
However even if he had corrected it like he wanted to,, they still committed another common Sci-Fi faux pas at the end of the sequence when he finally arrives and he's looking at the moons all lined up in his front view screen.
Yet another thing that would never happen or be visible that way.
The moons are too far away from each and too small to get that sort of visual.
Well, I think the shot was definitely fast forwarded, or at least we were supposed to think so...
It doesn't matter, whether it fast forwarded or not.
That trajectory is supposed to be a months-long trip and not the couple of hours or even days they showed it to be.
Did they have enough food and water to wait for him for months to come rescue them?
Did he? for the trip?
It doesn't matter anyway since the producer already admitted they screwed up big time with that sequence and that they chose a moon that was too far away from Ganymede for that scene to make sense in the time-frame they were showing.
1:16 How can Rana love space but she doesn't like the space bar...? ;) 3:55 "Poor blueberry..." LOL
5:04 I like the direction where this video is going. :D 17:10 Those protomolecule towers looked a little bit like dragons... Nahid was right... ;)
17:55 I guess saving her life so she could tell everything later would have been too logical solution...
19:11 I like Rana pushing the space bar. :)
12:45 every time I watch that scene I get goosebumps.
Dammit, I already saw 12 from the mistake....now I have to skip a week just to catch up.
After season 3 will you be able to wait for s4 or are you going to read the books?
Shit Nahid, I didn't know you were a veteran brother! I served almost 10 years in the US Army, artillery and infantry.
It’s a term from ancient Cartography where Unknown Areas were filled in with “Here there be Dragons” to indicate unknown dangers unexplored.
It means going into uncharted territories. Exploring the unknown.
Rocinante was Don Quixote’s horse. Holden is Don Quixote, chasing his ideals. But his fight is already lost. He just doesn’t know it yet.
I'm loving the fact that you guys are so hooked to this show. Makes the reaction so awesome.
I can't wait for the last two episodes.
#MillerAndJulieLives :)
Jupiter alone has 63 moons
Saturn has 52
Just remember that when you're all alone and talking to yourself - or when you're in a ballroom surrounded by a thousand people and talking to yourself - it's always the smartest person in the room that you're talking to.
You guys please react to The Expanse Season 3 Averserala is back totally badass!!
Suit up, we are going for a hunt.
Can't wait for the next episodes. There's a bit of everything.
There are so many points this season where I'd have gut shot Naomi and fed her to the protomolecule. I was honestly far more on board with the (somewhat psychotic) James Holden crusade (pogrom) to stamp out the Protomolecule and anyone affiliated with it. Which is pretty funny since I *also* agreed 100% with Naomi and Fed Johnson that once the genie (Protomolecule) is out of the bottle, there's no going back.
lol Suraj just popped out the cut and I wasn't expecting nahid not to be hungover tooRana said new gods like Dresden!Lol "it's definitely not what nahid just said"Ladyvenom sent a belt to him?!Rana just lick his face-I don't know can the show even get better than thatSuraj calling out lost like a car alarm was hilarious and that might be the first lost reference I didn't pick up onRana's reaction to bobby folding that redshirt onehanded was awesome and wow I forgot all about Amos giving the grenade back
Gunny isn’t a nickname, it’s short for her rank Gunnery Sergeant. And her name is Roberta Draper, her nickname is Bobbie.
Good react, guys, looking forward to your end season wrap up and final thoughts and predictions.
there's nothing wrong with being wrong... there's nothing wrong with being wrong.....
A week for the next one :(
Wait..... How did Rana not see the grenade?....
here there be dragons means this is outside of the known map
There was no way that scientist lady was surviving, even if they Tried to help her. Not helping her was they only way there were going to get any answers. Because “helping” would have just waited the time she had left. The injury was in her neck
I know this is late in the game but the reason why Bobbi is able to kick Capt Martens ass so easily is that it was established he was a chaplain when they first met. I can't speak for Martian military but a quick google search shows that chaplains don't have to go through basic training like regular soldiers. lol 10:41
Having seen the whole show, really enjoying getting to see you guys go through this series
I like Nahid's Sherlock Holmes tee shirt!
Phoebe is a moon of Saturn.
The reason Holden changed is that he's bitter, he's upset that the world doesn't behave according to his idealism, in fact his idealism gets twisted around and people get killed because of it, even if he did the right thing it all turns to shit.
no
That throat chop tho
SPACE DRAGONS
“Your generation has forgotten what it means to sacrifice for the dream of Mars.”
Old men wage wars but young men fight and die in them.
The name "Gunny" is a popular military slang term for "Gunnery Sergeant". Its used in the real world as well.
So glad you guys are into this show love the reactions
Kinda random, but when did you guys stop referring to yourselves as the "Chi-Normies?" I know you've been doing it for awhile, or has it only been while Suraj was in the house?
Haha I knew something wasn't right. I even double checked cause I knew it took an episode before she end up with them but I thought maybe I was wrong and you just had to edit it out. I already watched 12 when you posted.
Shout out to Captain Flint from Black Sails. “They paint the world with their shadows and tell their children to stay in the light. Because in the darkness there be dragons.”
Series 3 is April 11th !! Check out the awesome S3 clips from SYFY twitter account!!
If you watch, you'll see that the changes in Holden date back to the destruction of the Erasmus and have been "cascading" since then.
Hahaha.. the correction... its been bugging me a bit, though I love your reviews haha. :D
Hope this show does not get cancelled, it is just damn good reminds me a little of babylon 5
10:41 is the scene which I keep watching because it's so badass awesome. ;-)
The next episode has one of the most emotional scenes since ep. 2x5, "Home".
6:04 "There is a baby out there" Freaking alex kamar dude
Here There Be Dragons is what was used on old maps for unexplored areas.
terrible musquote but... in the dark there be dragons
the passage of time is one thing the show get so wrong, them books smash it though
Gunny is a Marine thing its a title given to Gunnery Sergeant.
Two great parts of this episode, Errinwright’s power play (I was totally hoodwinked and thought he was gonna suicide) and the refugees boarding the ship. The latter did make me cry, and reminded me of the end of Dark Knight with the resolution to the prisoners’ dilemma on the two ships. I’ve already recommended this to a couple of friends, so I’m way ahead of you! New season starting soon, so excited!
Dude, that wasn't this episode. Fortunately you didn't spoil anything for anyone.
