Great work! Just a small thing, Venus is slightly smaller than Earth, and if Eros hit earth it would the after effects rather than the meteor that would kill most of those people on Earth.
Little note:
Venus is slightly smaller than earth ;)
@@CptApplestrudl earth and venus are sometimes called twin planets because their size is nearly identical. But the impact would have far fewer consequences on Venus because there is no life and the environment is far less vulnerable.
The first episode is "Dulcinea", the name of the princess that Don Quixote loves but never meets.
And Rocinante is his horse.
She wasn’t a princes…exactly…
Tilt those windmills.
@@gawainethefirst She was as much a princess as Rocinante was a war horse. Which is to say, not at all except in Don Quixote's mind.
"Never thought I'd hear Chrisjen swear" - this really got me, in the books she has a very "colourful" vocabulary, it has been dialled back for show somewhat. Past season 4 she has full access to her colourful vocabulary and has some of the best lines in the show.
"F**** D****** ***R***** *H****" - Chrisjen Avasarala
She's so coooool :D
The best of them imo is in Caliban's War when she is know to call Gillis a bobblehead- even to his face. And Gillis thinks she is joking.
I loled when Mary said that. Hands down my favorite character in the books.
Yeah, they had her on a leash when the show was on SyFy in the early seasons.
Kind of a spoiler
"Chrisjen! I never thought I'd hear her swear..."
That woman could make the Drill Sergeant from 'Full Metal Jacket' blush...
Her language is more colorful than her outfits.
When Mary said that I laughed so hard it hurts.
I'd guess 20% of the words she speaks in the books are swears.
That kid (Diogo) said "stay away from the aqua!" because he was the gang member that Miller caught in season 1 stealing water on Ceres and then let go. The last thing Miller said to the kid when he was leaving was "stay away from the aqua!" Diogo is also the kid whose uncle threw him out into space before attacking the inners with the load of rock they were towing.
I always wonder if Diogo had any plans to filter out the shower soap before selling his pilfered greywater to people at premium prices. It was being used to water the greenspace because plants (air scrub plants in particular) don't give a rip what their water is flavored with. People tend to be a bit more picky what they drink.
Gunny is short for "gunnery sergeant". It's her military rank
Gunnery Sergeant is also the highest rank that an enlisted soldier (not an officer) can hold. Its a rare rank..a respected rank. Other soldiers are still allowed to address her as simply Sergeant. The reason they would use the nickname"Gunny" is out of respect. You have to have seen some serious s#!+ to make Gunnery Sergeant.
@@snarflcat6187 Master Gunnery Sergeant and 1st Seargent are the Highest enlisted ranks. Or is that what they say the highest rank is on Mars in the books? I haven't read them yet so dunno...
@@jasonrd316
You're referring to current RL US marine corps?
I got the MMC Rank Structure off the Expanse Wiki.
Admiral (4 then 2 star)
Captain
Commander
Lieutenant
Ensign
Gunnery Sergeant
Sergeant
Corporal
Private
@@snarflcat6187 Yeah, I was, but I thought maybe Expanse lore could be different. Thanks for confirming!
So, I'm guessing Sergeant Major is specifically an Army thing, then?
"space looks so real on that show" - jep ... thats because this is almost the only show existing which cared about actual physics
The only places where they violate physics are where it is absolutely necessary for plot--or to have a story to tell. Off-hand, the only bits I that stand out are the Protomolecule (which gets a pass for being both exotic and the MacGuffin), the Epstein Drive--which is necessary to avoid having travel times of months or more, and being able to reinforce asteroids enough to spin them up.
My favorite part is when (I'm avoiding spoilers here), a fire breaks out on a small ship and, because it's in zero-G, it's bursts out as a sphere). It reminds me of when astronauts play with water droplets. It took me a moment to realize what was happening, but the physics checks out.
@@RickLeMon u forgot the cure for cancer and anti radiaction drugs to survive all that radiation is space all their life
@@RickLeMon While they are far more accurate than most shows they still seriously skip realism when it suits their story purpose.
@@RickLeMon they do take month to travel but it’s less than years
(Cough) Babylon 5 (cough)…
That last scene with Miller and Julie shows off just how underrated Thomas Jane is as an actor.
Best show I’ve seen in a long time. Miller is one of my favorite characters, and I love the way his arc with Julie wraps up.
Julie gives him hope and something to believe in. In the end, that saved earth.
He did love her, or the idea of her. Great character development. Great writing.
These 5 eps are some of the best scifi, the best TV I've ever seen... until the last half of season 3... 😲
Still can't beat Stargate, but well... that has 17 seasons within 3 series. Not really fair to compare. 😂
@@Dene181 As someone who loves stargate, Nah, Expanse has it beat since season 3. I just have to look past my nostalgia. BSG would also be a contender if they had any clue what they were doing after season 2(well maybe after season 3)
I love this show. And I love that you take notes while watching. Something so fuckin cool about that. And you’re just now meeting some of the best characters! Excited to go on this journey with you.
Amos is very good at understanding other people, it's part of his defence that he's always in survival mode, analysing everyones actions and motives to gauge them as a threat, it's why he then relys on other people to make decisions because he knows life shouldn't be lived in survival mode but he just can't turn it off.
I am loving these long format videos.
I love your reaction particularly to the final sequence of these episodes. Miller and Julie, it's so beautiful. A lot of people love the show Babylon 5 for very good reasons, among them the writing. And in one sequence in it, an enigmatic alien promises a character "one moment of perfect beauty". The series tries but it doesn't quite pull off that moment. I don't think I've ever seen one moment of perfect beauty in television or the movies. Until I watched The Expanse.
"Chisjen! I never thought I would hear her swear." Just you wait. She has a famously dirty vocabulary.
And Mary a little later: How thr f@×k did Eros just move?!
Well, Chrisjen in the book is always cursing, almost every sentence and the next, she throws one. In the show she can't curse all the time because of ScyFy's rules and regulations. When Amazon took over, they added curses for past seasons and present seasons.
"How did Eros move?" Now you know what the protomolecule was building
S2 E5 - the best thing someone have done for television up till now. I rewatch every other week.
Asteroids, planets, meteors are all constantly moving. What Eros did was change velocity and direction, which no space rock should be able to do without an engine.
All movement is relative. Even as you sit still, you're still "moving" with the Earth moving around the sun,... which itself is moving around the galactic core,... which itself is moving... wherever the hell galaxies move lol
@@k1productions87 Currently ours is on colision course with the Andromeda Galaxy, which is set to occur in about 6 billion years
Eros had an engine. It's just an engine based on priciples currently unknown, and made from and powered by the biological substance of 100,000 people.
Drummer is the most badass character in television history. !
Pashangimang!!
1:25:53 little correction there, venus is slightly smaller than earth, it just has a way thicker atmosphere
Amos definitely isnt autistic. He has a very good grasp on the world. Hes good at reading people.
He's just feom a very very bad place. Where he inly surrvived by forcibly keeping himself alive. This kind of trauma stayed with him. It'll always be him. But it also means he's fiercely loyal to those he feels he needs to protect. And to those he respects.
He earned Julies trust by feeding her the nuke, I’ve always felt you belong with me was the protomolecule claiming Miller. Also there’s a wonderful Keats poem called Ode to a Nightengale, it influenced Miller and Julies story.
Another nice touch is her saying "kidnap job" referring to the time Miller originally got the job handed to him by his former boss way back in the early episodes of season 1. It's a nice loop around to the beginning.
As far as an ensemble cast I consider this on the same level as Firefly and that's a high compliment for me.
I understand but it vice versa for me! IMO
The insane thing about the Expanse is that it actually had a relatively small budget in terms of what they were doing for the first 3 seasons and there were lots of ways that they were able to cut cost and reduce spending, the most crazy was that during filming they were only able to afford to rent all the film stages for 2 weeks on weekdays, so for season 1 they only had 10 days to film 10 episodes, so they would schedule two weeks where they would film everything for an episode in a single day and then just do a couple of pickup shots at other locations, this got even crazier for season 2 and 3 which have 13 episodes because they still only had 10 days, so they changed it so the first Friday would be double up day and the last Friday would be triple up, where they would arrive at dawn and leave after midnight having filmed all the scenes for 3 full episodes.
That's indeed insane. Working laws be damned. If you can't afford enough stage time to permit work days under 10 hours for cast and crew, then you can't proceed to produce a show. It should be that easy.
@@Quotenwagnerianer You've obviously never worked construction. Try a 48 hour shift because the new Project Engineer wants to look good for the owner.
Uhh, what? Where did you hear this?
Granted, I didn't do S1 and S2, but there were definitely more than 2 weeks of filming for S3. Standard production time for a single episode was 9 days, so basically 2 weeks, M. to F., and done in 2-episode blocks (18 days).
In certain spots, there would be double-up days where two units shot at the same time. This happened when more days were required for episode A but overlapped with episode B, or an episode required more days from the start, or other calendar needs determined it. Production scheduling is a mystic art.
Anyway, I can guarantee you that from S3 onwards, the standard 2-episode, 18-day blocks were how the show was produced. I highly doubt the entirety of seasons 1 & 2 were shot in a total of two weeks each. It sounds logistically implausible. The set builds alone make this "could only rent the stages two weeks at a time" story seem very apocryphal.
Perhaps you misunderstood the (rough) two weeks PER EPISODE as two weeks PER SEASON? Or someone misspoke? The show had an amazing prep crew (construction, set dec., et al.) but they still needed time.
@@scottdorfler2551 You'd think there were better laws protecting workers in Canada 🤷♂️
I appreciate you recognising the kiwi accent immediately.
Camina Drummer and Bobby Draper are my two main crushes in this show. I would marry either one in a heartbeat. Even if that meant staying at home, cooking, cleaning, and raising children for the rest of my life. 🥰
Roberta Draper is her real name. Most call her Gunny after her rank "Gunnery Sergeant" and others call her Bobbie. In the Books some people call her Babs also. But I don't recall anyone in the show using Babs.
Definitely owe it to yourself to keep an eye on Amos. He is the ogre with many layers.
You know what else has layers? A parfait…
I'm a white man from Baltimore and I've had to fight for my life more than once. I'm very lucky to be alive. Amos will always be my favorite.
Not sure if anyone else said it but that line "You belong with me" was the same thing Miller was saying he had dreamt her saying to him when Miller was on the Rosi.
Venus is actually freakishly similar to Earth. They're almost exactly the same size. Mars is significantly smaller, which is why it was a big deal that Martian marines train at Earth's gravity. If only Venus had a similar atmosphere to Earth, they could have been twins. Venus would only be about 10 F (5 C) degrees warmer than Earth. Instead, the extremely thick and toxic atmosphere of Venus makes the surface over 900 F (482 C) degrees, the atmospheric pressure could crush steel and it rains sulfuric acid, so we won't be doing much there.
33:00 'ish: Is it a logical fallacy when people automatically assume that "we can be gods" also equals "that can never end well"? Funny how we always assume there's a catch.
Also, nice of you to notice the music. Clinton Shorter did amazing work on this series, and it only got better and better as it went along.
Venus is about the same size as Earth, it's just covered in thick clouds that are pretty toxic and the surface pressure is super high.
Slightly smaller in size, but truly deserves its nick name of Earth's Evil Twin, it would be a very unpleasant place to visit indeed.
It would likely be a lot easier to terraform than Mars. It no longer has a molten spinning core, so no magnetic field, but it does have a thick ionosphere that would serve the same purpose (protect people from space radiation). Seed it with bacteria to metabolise the sulfur and turn the H2SO4 back into H2O; seed it with algae & weeds to photosynthesize the CO2 and reduce the surface pressure to cool the surface. It wouldn't necessarily be quick, but it would be a lot easier than Mars because there's more there to work with.
But we won't, because the point is to create an outpost further out from the Sun against the day the sun decides to go Red Giant on us anywhere from 300,000 to 30 million years from now. Creating a colony closer to the sun would be counterproductive.
@@TheDetailsMatter I just did the math on it, and if im right, all the hydrogen in the sulfuric acid from all of Venus' atmosphere would be enough to make about as much water as is in the Dead Sea. Spread that over the entire planet and its basically nothing.
Miller and Holden's relationship in the books is WAAAY more realistic, and it's one of the only things I have an issue with in this adaptation. In the show Holden is just whiney about Miller, but in the books we actually get to understand from a moral aspect why he has an issue with Miller, yet he still loves him just as much as Naomi, Alex and Amos.
For clarification. Asteroids are just chunks of rock floating in space (well, orbiting the sun in a similar way as planets). Asteroids can range from a few centimeters to kilometers across.
Eros is 16x34 kilometers, Ceres is 964x891 km across.
A Meteor is an asteroid that enters a planets' atmosphere, usually only in reference to one entering Earth's atmosphere.
Ceres is a dwarf planet rather than an asteroid though
Miller going to steal the Navou to kill Eros. LOL Mary confused.
In episode 2, they follow known physics for the space battle in every way except sound. The exterior shots of gunfire would realistically not have enough matter to conduct anything more than inaudible low frequencies, but that would not be very entertaining, would it?
Home is an incredibly emotional episode and if you didn't get the reference, it was what Dawes told Miller he would find, once he knew what he wanted. If you think about it, since the PM could break all sorts of physics, time could also be affected in a way with Miller's visions of Julie building up to this episode and the bird as well. When Julie died on Eros, she saw Miller's silhouette carrying her beads and the bird connecting them. So in a way, the PM was just affecting Miller enough to get them to this point.
You made a comment that this show had a lot of diverse players. Camina is of Ojibwe heritage.
Actually Venus is slightly smaller than Earth. I think they are the closest sized planets in our solar system.
Yup. And besides not having any people on at the surface it’s hot enough to melt lead and has as much pressure as being a mile under the ocean. An asteroid impact isn’t going to make it anymore inhospitable.
@@paratus04 if anything, an asteroid impact would improve the joint.
@@KevinLyda lol
Wes, the actor who is playing Amos has had multiple occations when fans meet him and talks about asbergers syndrome or autism. Wes is one of the most wholesome people in acting and every meeting where one person in the crowd brings it up, having asbergers themselves he is glad to be there because most of these people relate to Amos. They are seeing a reflection of themselves in his acting, which he had no idea of in the beginning before meeting these people. When you are done with the series, take some time and watch some behind the scenes and interviews. My god this actors and actresses are a solid family.
just watch Ty and that guy!
Santa fear or sad beer - the automatic subtitles are funny
'planets don't normally move' 'venus is obviously much bigger than earth' oh boy
Bobbie didn’t arm wrestle a robot per se, it was her suit. Think iron man suit.
Martians have predominantly Kiwi and Aussie accents because Mars was colonised by NZ and Aus.
They should actually have mostly Texan accents, as many of the first settlers were from Texas and their way of talking remained dominant even after they were vastly outnumbered by South Asians.
Continue watching. You gonna love Bobbie. She has such an awesome character. Also Amos is having the best character arc I have ever seen on screen.
"I think asteroids don't move"
Everything in space moves. Including down here 😗
I thought we float? We all float down here. 🎈
There's gotta be some kind of non-linear timey wimey stuff going on with the protomolecule connecting Miller and Julie. With her seeing him walk through the door with teh bird before she died, with him seeing the bird and describing a vision to Naomi of Julie saying "you belong with me"...
Yes. This has been confirmed by Ty Franck on an episode of their UA-cam show “That Guy”
@@mmagnenat Ty&That Guy
@@jamesholland5761 jup, you’re right of course! It’s a very good show/podcast. I’m one of the 6 viewers 😜
@@mmagnenat I've actually claimed as #4
I love this 5 episodes per upload format 🥰
was waiting for this.. this is where it REALLY starts getting good!
Miller killing Dresden is one of my favorites scenes. It wasn't a revenge for Julie. It was just the right thing to do.
Gunny and Bobby stand for Gunnery Sergeant Roberta Draper.
Amos suddenly becomes one of the best characters.
Everything moves in space))) But most objects just fly by gravity along stable and predictable trajectories. And Eros suddenly changed its course.
"I never thought I'd hear Chrisjen swear" LOL! Wait til the show leaves SyFy for Prime. ; )
She swore all through out production. It was just edited for sci-fi channel. The unedited versions are available on Prime. Just have to select them.
"I didnt think id hear her swear". Spilt tea on myself with that one, its one her main traits!
books
'OMG, Eros is moving to destroy Earth, Miller is stuck and going to die, the Rocinante crew will kill themselves trying to keep up....' Bet you didn't expect it to end up in such a beautiful moment and the conclusion to a forlorn love story, huh? Guess what? It all just keeps getting BETTER.
"I never thought I would hear her swear."
You literally made exactly the same comment the episode prior and made a big deal of it LOL
Drummer is one of my favorite characters in the show. Liked her presence in the show more than in the books.
The character of Avasarala is Indian (India, not Native American) though the actress is Iranian. The actor who plays Alex is of Pakistani decent and his character is from the Mariner Valley of Mars, which was predominantly settled by middle easterners south Asian and pacific islanders. The actress who plays Bobby is of Samoan decent but IIRC her historical regional genetic heritage isn't mentioned in the books.
One thing I appreciate is that the cast is very diverse without being pigeonholed or tokenized.
Wasen't she Polynesian? I remember holden recognizing her from there inn the books, gigantic beach bunny if i remember correctly
@@ps3teb1996 Yes, I believe they talk about her Samoan ancestry in the books.
Bobby should be a Polynesian of sort in the book.
I'm pretty sure one of the books mentions her being of Samoan descent, and about six and a half feet tall.
Don't forget that the first settlers in the Mariner Valley were Texan. They made an insignificant contribution to the gene pool but had the biggest influence on the local accent/dialect.
Late, saw that you were doing premier, but wanted to watch all of it. (comment for algorithm gods)
433 Eros, its an asteroid 5 miles in radius that is near Earth and has a stable orbit. Its a real object (not just in the show). The show just uses it as a place where a base was established by belters. Definitely not a planet.
it is actually located in the AMOR group of asteroics , that orbit in the same circle as Mars does. So, that's why it was a violation of Martian Law to violate the quarantine. Ceres, on the other hand is wayyy out in the actual asteroid belt, much further out.
Martian is full of space cowboy
S2 ep 5 of The Expanse one of the greatest TV episodes in history IMO!
I'm sorry, the physics knowledge, or lack of it, is cracking me up. Good video.
I really loved this show! Glad you're enjoying it. Miller was the man...
Im so happy your watching this i love this show
Bobbie (Gunny) is rough around the edges at first, but she becomes my favourite character.
Omnibear here. Thank you so much for this video, had a rough day and you helped me unwind with the fiance
Gunny is short for Gunner Sergeant, meaning that Bobbi is a high ranking Non Commissioned Officer.
by the end of season 5 you will love Amos, he is the best character in this show by far for me.
A few corrections:
1) No, Mary, Venus is actually a bit smaller than Earth.
2) Eros is NOT a planet.
3) Julie's bird was in her flat on Ceres, not on Tyco Station.
Venus is almost identical in size to earth.
The actress who plays Chrisjen Avasarala, Shoreh Agdashloo, is actually Iranian-American. Born in Tehran. Not sure if I would call that south Asian, but, small detail. Reggardless she is a great actor and has a very recognizable voice. She also voices Admiral Shala Raan in the games Mass Effect 2 and 3.
Some definitions of South Asia include Iran, some don't. Ethnically the case is for including it, geographically the case is for not.
you saw the story of book 1 (ep s1e1 until s2e5) of a 9 book story. 8 books are written and the ninth should be coming soon. So its a really big story that spans 9 books and the first 1 has to have a lot of 'slow' character introduction and world building. I really liked book 1 and Millers arch is one of the best in the story but the plot in general gets more exciting from book 2 onwards which is the same for the tv-show. t I am really looking forward to the final book as well as season 6. So far this is the best book-series that spans more than 3 books that I have read. It is continuously on a very high level on all aspects (characters, dialogue, plot and world building) and to my big surprise it continues to get better. One of the fans of this book-series is the writer of GoT - he regularly talks to the writers of Expanse and gives them some tips here and there... which is funny considering that he himself got stuck on book 5 of GoT :)
Venus is covered by thick clouds at all times. So Eros is just splashing through the clouds there, not hitting the surface; that's why you don't see a big impact.
I didn't find season 1 to be slow. Not everything has to be action action action all the time.
Dawes is extreme. Wait until you meet Marco Inares.
"Venus must be bigger than Earth"
Erm...
Remember the Cant.
Oye, beltalowda!
@@metalfan9000 Tenye Wa Chesh Gut!
Expanse was probably one of the best TV series of the past decade. Fargo would be my number 2.
If you're looking for a story that's starts off just as slow and introductory and eventually also becomes just as beautiful and amazing, but buried under layers of 90s cheese, watch Babylon 5.
Seriously. Being that it was an early 90s show, it has ABSOLUTELY no business being as well written as it is. 😂 I binged that earlier this year before i watched The Expanse, and i could never ever love one more than the other. They both stabbed me in the heart with precision writing. The Expanse did make me feel some B5 energy, and B5 has major Tolkien references that plucked on my heartstrings effortlessly.
Babylon 5 was good, but The Expanse is on a completely different level! IMO
Stargate (sg1, atlantis, universe)
The 100
Battlestar Galactica
Killjoys
(Altered Carbon)
nothing can beat Stargate for me, but it has 17 seasons inside the 3 series... so that is a bit hard to beat. The Expanse is close and the other shows mentioned are all very good! Hope you haven't seen one and you will have much fun with it! :)
@@Dene181 IMO The Expanse is on a whole different level
I can't believe she didn't recognize it's Diogo at 29:50.
the best part was when the cat went up the cat tree and took a nap on top.
Venus and the earth are actually about the same size and same gravity.
Difference in impact between "7 billion dead on earth" and "only a mark on venus" is
a) Eros was accelerating towards earth going faster all the time, but decelerated before it "crashlanded" on Venus (the faster an object goes at time of impact, the more energy that impact has) and
b) well, there are no people on Venus :D
@@Garagantua I was just commenting on her saying that Venus was much larger than earth. It's not. No other implications.
Mary, question. Did you ever think the story would become this big when you started the series?
And still just the beginning!!
Definitely not
Venus is not bigger than Earth; they're almost the same size, with Earth being slightly bigger.
they use the word "System" as in Solar system, extra-solar means not from our solar system.
Uhh that wasn't Julie's dad in the war room
Confusing Fred Johnson with Sematimba and now this. Yikes.
40:00 Naomi's a little inconsistent here. If she didn't want to destroy the proto-molecule because of the possibility of a vaccine, killing Dresden should have been given similar consideration.
Now I will agree with this!
Bobby is a Samoan/New Zealander. She's called Gunny because she is a Gunnery Sgt.
I just watched your Tombstone video; "Jeremiah Johnson" 1972 is an excellent modern western.
I always thought that the Protomolecule was having some effect on Miller through his obsession over Julie Mao.
Yes, Frankie Adams is kiwi. she along with 90% of the other NZ actors, used to be on shorty street. She is much better as a marine, over being a pregnant teenager for 4 years on that show.
Shortland Street was my first ever paid acting gig!
OPA for life! Beltalowda!!
WWJMD? (What Would Julie Mao Do) 😎 would make a good merch idea 😀
1:25:57 - Venus is a little bit smaller than Earth, but there is on life on Venus. An explosion this big will kill everyone on Earth.
4:46 Interesting choice of words! "Sharing a bunk"...
19:59 so in a sense, the same as one could make the argument about the taliban, or ISIS
So apparently Book one, "Leviathan wakens" ends here. guess that Eros could be considered a "leviathan"
"That's a cool game" Its raquetball and I'm sure you can play it. Extremely exhausting though. Last time I played I weighed myself before and after the game. I lost 3 pounds in sweat
If you want another really fantastic space show to watch check out Battlestar Galactica (2004). I know the title can put people off but give it a shot and I guarantee you'll be hooked.
22:28 Miller was at one inch of being in real trouble if he did one step further
Venus is not bigger than Earth.
Meteors don't "move" (i.e. change course) either!
To clear the Eros thing, everything move in space, generally orbiting around something heavier. Eros orbit around the sun, but it move outside it's orbit, that is not possible without an outsideforce ( Newton Laws ;) ).
A planet is define as a celestial body with enough mass to be round but not enough to be a star and cleared his orbit from other asteroid. Eros is an asteroid among many in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Edit : and no Venus is a bit smaller than earth, but bigger than mars.
Actually 433 Eros is NOT in the "ASteroid Belt". It's located on a cluster that orbits in the same cycle as Mars.
ironically, Eros does actgually come fairly close to the orbit of Earth in its elliptical path.
Probably worth mentioning Tycho Station and the Navoo are marvels of engineering, they are a big deal in The Expanse universe... They just aren't any station and any ship. The Navoo is 2km long and half a kilometre in diameter.
Your comment on Ep 2 about "Amos having issues pick up other people's emotions" - I don't think that is the case. He picked up just fine when the gun was pulled on Naomi and she had said they were going to stay. Amos read Miller just right - he was pissed and looking to get revenge. Yes Amos could have taken the punch but that's not always the issue.
