It felt like a season ending because this is the end of Book 1. This show is just getting started. Enjoy the ride.
Yes indeed.
I just hit the end of Episode 6. Um...was I looking at a fucking Husk from Mass Effect? Don't answer that, I just had to get it out.
@@JnEricsonx Im pretty sure the authors took some inspiration from Mass Effect, there are quite a few similarities
they saved each other - she saved him from nihilism and despair and he brought her back to her humanity and kept her from being alone in the End.
Gil Serrano damn... thanks
Beautifully put
This is one of the best episodes in the show, the scene with Miller and Julie is truly special, plus the score in that scene is amazing.
The score in this episode doesn't get the due it's worth, imo. It's simply fantastic.
That score gave me strong vibes of On The Nature Of Daylight by Max Richter
One of the best sci fi episodes ever.
He needed that redemption.
@@billross7245 fr bill
I believe the writers have said that the moment that Miller and Julie touched hands it reverberated back through time, due to the physics bending properties of the protomolecule. This is why Julie had been seeing visions of Miller, even though she hadn't met him yet.
I missed that bit but I hope it's true, that makes so much more sense!
“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.”
― Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
Such an idiotically arrogant aphorism (hence having Esteban say it: dude always has one foot outside of reality due to thinking of himself as the most important, interesting person in the universe.)
Let's hear it for Drummer this episode too. "What da hell up now?" always feels so authentic.
Bob Riemersma I love the way she pronounces that!
SOOOO happy to see her!
There's so much poetry to this episode. Julie was once aboard the ship Scopuli, which could be a reference to "Sirenum scopuli", the small islands where there were sirens in Greek Mythology. The Scopuli's beacon lured the crew of the Canterbury at the start of the show, and now a siren that had been on that ship was calling out to Miller... Then, of course, the final encounter between Eros (Greek god of love and sex) and Venus (Roman goddess, whose functions encompassed love, beauty, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity and victory).
I'm late but, Thank you for your comment. I love the show so I always instantly clicked on the next episode so I miss things like this.
i wish i could upvote this comment tenfold. poetry indeed.
you get the Impression that the Protomolecule has a temporal aspect to it when julie was dying she saw miller with his hat and the bird then miller kept seeing her so in way they were always connected as their connection at the end rippled backwards through time. and the bird was out side miller apartment not julies.
I thought that as well, I've not decided yet, it's either that, or she just was not dead and was sitting there observing everything waiting for more energy/radiation to continue "becoming". I still haven't decided, if it had temporal aspects, I would think it's creators might be in a different situation than they are in right now...
@Ugnutz
It was outside both. In S1E7 it was ouside Julie's, right before Miller got Sematimba's message about Anubis-1A on Eros.
darksfallen The evidence seems to lean towards the protomolecule being linked across space and time because Miller makes a point of leaving Semi’s hat on Ceres before going to Eros. Semi even questions where his hat is when freeing Miller from lockup on Eros. Presumably, Julie was able to see Miller with his hat and the bird because it can access your memories once infected and both are infected at some point.
Further, though perhaps less convincing, evidence that the protomolecule is linked across space-time is the fact that it is referred to in the singular tense as if all of it is the same molecule existing in multiple places and times. This is possibly nonsensical depending on temporal theories of cause and effect. For instance, if you go back in time and kill your younger self, should your older self die too, should you be unable to succeed, should only your younger self die because older you(s) already exist(s) at the time of younger you’s death? Time is a funky concept so that’s why I acknowledge this second theory is iffy at best.
*Dawes* “usually when a man is about to lose everything he realises what mattered to him most. He sees it clearly for the first time”
*Miller* “I see everything I need to see”
*Dawes* “ Maybe you haven’t lost everything yet. When you do, you will know your way home. And it will welcome you”
Never put that together before wow
Yep! Also:
But Julie... Sometimes I wake up and I see her standing there. I know it's bullshit but she's right there. She takes my hand and she says "You belong with me" (2x1).
@@ranialian8537 I believe when Miller took off the helmet the protomolecule mapped his brain and she instantly felt how he felt about her through his own consciousness and she fell in love with him right then.
Welcome to The Expanse, phase two of the ride will soon commence. Please keep arms, legs, and other extremities inside the starship at all times. The ride will make no stops and never ever let up.
It felt like a season finale as it was the end of the first book. From this point until halfway through season 3, it's going to be book 2. Get ready for a crazy crazy time!
When I hear about the protomolecule breaking the laws of physics I'm reminded of Arthur C Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Yes!
Good memory there!
"It's definitely not the end." It's the end of the first book, so strap in cowboys...and cowgirl. Time for the juice, because this story is just beginning. ;)
Miller and Julie is a such a beautiful love story. They never met but there is this connection that is so real. Miller's story arc ended finding his love.
It always felt kind of strange to me. He was in love with her but she barely knew he existed. It’s nice how they helped each other in the end, but it seemed like Miller was obsessed with someone he didn’t know
As the author said recently of Miller:
"The show leans into a romance interpretation. The books do not. His pursuit of revenge for a dead woman he never met is intentionally delusional. At the end, right place, right time, right self destructive tendencies."
That's our hero. RIP beratna. Fantastic character
Miles Curtis Watson I love that the authors are continually rewriting the characters to better serve the story as the show progresses. Great move to have them in the writers room.
It's interesting, I never viewed TV-Miller's attitude towards Julie romantic. He seems more like a guy deeply concerned for a girl he respects and admires for her courage and commitment to a cause. That kiss was an intimate gesture of farewell and a closure of his pursuit.
@@nutella_drifter Miller's character is so much more fleshed out in the book. A drunk, washed up cop who is constantly thinking about his ex-wife. You're right about his admiration/concern/courage of Julie. I still prefer the book version where he just kisses her hand, because it was never romantic in any way.
@@deanadewall8400 Yes, you can really feel his depression in the books and Eros/Solving Julie's case is his last hope in his life to do something that matters.
Julie represented Miller's ideal, his Dulcinea, and the idea of her gave him meaning.
Also the scene between Avasarala and her husband gets me every time.
That was an interesting upturn of the usual trope where the brave and dutiful husband stays at the helm of the sinking ship while the wife stays safely at home.
@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse agreed; the new guy was fine I guess, but just the fact that the actor had changed took me out of it, and the way the new guy played him felt like it was a different character; I just didn't feel the same emotional investment in the new guy. Plus I liked that the first guy to play Arjun didn't seem like the kind of person who you might expect a person like Chrisjen to marry, but their chemistry was so good that they sold it; whereas the new guy did seem like the sort of person Chrisjen would marry but their chemistry just seemed slightly off.
@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse I as disappointed as well, but when The Expanse was canceled they lost Brian to another Show and fought hard to get him back but he could not break his new obligations. Too bad. He was reportedly disappointed as well.
It's definitely "Hard Sci fi" when the time delay interferes with a heart to heart.
Bless your heart Nikki, I thought you were going to have a Jon Snow moment. Miller saved Earth. He's the best hero of all time.... and no animals were harmed in the making of this episode.
And just like that, you have seen one of the finest piece of tv of the last times, but don't worry, still much to come... enjoy!
That has to be the most beautiful pieces of storytelling I have ever seen on TV. I cried so hard because it was so serenely peaceful.
And thus book one has ended.
Here comes the juice ... Never a truer word. Series gets even better. Yes really. Beautiful love story, Miller's arc, the bird is another literary allusion, Wordsworth I think. Amazing writing. Seen this show a handful of times and it's still a powerful episode. Cool reaction. Bring it on.
It’s Keats Ode to a Nightengale.
@@davedahl4461 That's it! Thanks Dave
The kiss between Florence Faivre and Thomas Jane was not in the script. They did that spur of the moment.
And I cannot imaging that scene without it. No way it has the same impact. Pardon the pun.
Where did you learn this? I can't see something like that not being apart of the script.
I don't believe that.
The fact that he calls her Kid 60 seconds before that makes it weird. Would have been more powerful without it imo.
@@BLUE5294 He calls everyone kid
The crew of the Rocinante toasting Miller breaks me every time.
That was with the bottle of Ganymede Gin that was owed Miller for a successful mission.
"You'll owe me a bottle'
That is the damnest episode of TV science fiction I have ever seen .... (I have followed a lot of good SF shows).........
We're just getting started!
I literally just clicked on my subscriptions to see if there was a new Expanse reaction.
Same lmao, been waiting all day for this
Enjoy your reactions...The Expense just shifted into second gear, put your seatbelts on ..here comes the juice!
One of the best episodes of television I have ever seen. So glad to see you guys finally watch it!
really enjoy your reactions to the expanse. when i discovered this show i was just glad to find another interesting sifi show but further along i stayed because of the awesome writing, characters and dialogues. fasten your seatbelts because the ride has just begun and this episode was the ending of the first book. hopefuly we got 8 more to come. just subscribed and hope you guys have as much fun with the comming seasons as i had ;)
My other favorite scene in this episode is subtle and humorous.
Fred and Drummer are talking and she says “you’re the most powerful man in the solar system.”
And Fred says “Then get me a cup of coffee.” And Drummer gives him the finger. Then at the end during the montage she brings Fred a cup of coffee after all.
There’s this wonderful moment, where he “feeds” Julie the nuke he gave her a shot a boost of power to continue. And then once she knew she wasn’t alone, she could go to Venus.
Also Eros the god went to Venus the goddess of love.
Oh and I think back to that line Dawes told Miller.
“When you have lost everything. Only then will you find your way home.”
@@davedahl4461 Which was the major meaning of the title of the episode. Miller found his way home.
Thanks for pointing the Eros/Venus thing out, you just made one of my fave TV episodes even better.
Such an amazing episode! Great reaction! Now that you have seen season 2 episode 5 " Home" I can finally say this. At the beginning Miller was a cop and policed his own kind and he wanted nothing to do with being a belter. Hince the hat and bone density. When became involved with finding Julie and the more he learned about an Eather wanting to help Belters the more he changed. When he left Ceres to find her he left the hat. When finding her dead he started seeing her with every choice to embrace being a Belter and not just one or the other but a hero for humanity. A fantastic arc! Amazing writing!
"where do we go from here?" you have no idea (as an audience), the writing is so superb
Doom Squirrel I know I was expecting a shitty SciFi streaming show but have never had story with twists and doubts and arcs so well structured in awhile.
Steven: "We can't slow down...we can't stop".....Nikki: "We've gone plaid" LMAO so hard I had to pause the video
for a few minutes so I wouldn't miss anything. You did Dark Helmet proud.
That was Col. Saunders :p (Dark Helmet just said something along the lines of "bullshit, i order you to stop this thing"). I dont remember exactly, been years since i saw Spaceballs (which is a shame, i should remedy that). And yes, when they said that i started laughing as well :D
@@PlacidDragon You are right, to which Saunders pulled the lever labeled: "Emergency Break, Never Use"
I want to remind them of that line later on in the series
Maneo Jung.......
"I understood that reference!"
Nikki's face when Steve is doing the Screaming Fire Hawks thing is hillarous. Its like she is thinking... "I got a big, muscled, macho man and somehow he turned out to be a giant nerd for this stuff..." Cracks me up.
"Where do we go from here?" oh man...
Arjun’s call with Chrisjen is one of the most beautiful moments in the show. The actors have so much chemistry that the love of their characters comes across even when they’re not in the same room.
What a great episode of television
I love this episode. Powerful.
"Can't stop The Work." What an important quote.
"Are you happy now, Are you happy?" Yes we are, we love ya
“Yeah,” he said. “Good guess. It’s changing course. Still heading sunward, but deflecting away from the Earth vector it was on.”
“If it keeps this course and speed,” Naomi chimed in, “I’d say it was heading toward Venus.”
“Wow,” said Holden. “That was a joke.”
“Good joke,” Naomi said.
---
When the end came, it was beautiful.
In orbit around Venus, Eros came apart like a puzzle box. The giant asteroid split into a dozen chunks, stringing out around the equator of the planet in a long necklace. Then those dozen pieces split into a dozen more, and then a dozen after that, a glittering fractal seed cloud spreading out across the entire surface of the planet, disappearing into the thick cloud layer that usually hid Venus from view.
“Wow,” Amos said, his voice almost reverent.
“That was gorgeous,” Naomi said. “Vaguely unsettling, but gorgeous.”
“They won’t stay there forever,” Holden said.
Alex tossed off the last of the tequila in his glass, then refilled it from the bottle.
“What d’ya mean, Cap?” he asked.
“Well, I’m just guessing. But I doubt the things that built the protomolecule just wanted to store it here. This was part of a bigger plan. We saved the Earth, Mars, the Belt. Question is, what happens now?"
-Leviathan Wakes
I actually prefer what happens to the Protomolecule infected Eros in the book, over the show; Eros crashing into Venus that hard should have destroyed the Protomolecule on board considering there are other times we see people destroy it with bombs or even just blow-torches. Plus what happens in the book just feels so alien and incomprehensable
That said I imagine that if they had gone with the book ending people would have been wondering whether Miller and Julie might have survived
one of the finest hours of sci-fi
Iniquity of television, imho
End of book one, get ready for second gear!
In the end love saved earth.
Well at least since Steven got hocked by The Expanse Nikki does not have to stand all these toss a Coin to your Witcher Solos each Vid anymore.^^
The crew's toast to Miller with Ganymede Gin gets me no matter how many times I've seen this episode.
It's very interesting how the Eros environment was prepped for Miller as if he were expected. Also were those visions of Julie actually hallucinations? Mind blowing to consider.
In the scene in s1 ep 9 which shows Julie's story, right at the end, when she's on the bathroom floor, she sees the bird and Miller entering, hears Miller say her name; I think that there's a connection for sure from that point on. If I remember correctly, from that point on he starts to get the visions of her.
@@m.bennett Not only was there the bird, but in her vision Miller was wearing his hat and carrying her necklace in his hand.
@@m.bennett Julie was completely infected by the PM and probably her mind, so it was probably that hybridization that was seeing the Miller vision.
It actually took me what seems forever to figure out the pm connection. "That stuff ain't from around here".
The iconic Home episode of The Expanse!!!
Anderson Dawes told him one day he'd find his way back home and it would welcome him, remember. He found his Belter identity, his love, his mission and purpose. Also remember, right before they found Julie in the Blue Falcon, she saw Miller, wearing a hat, holding her necklace, with the bird. But she never actually met him. Then he kept seeing her. So what's up with that?
Welcome the the end of book 1 and the beginning of book 2. Strap in. Here comes the juice.
I think Miller might just be the best character in the whole show. IMO at least.
"Can't stop the work."
The are a few loose ends but this beautiful mid season episode felt like a series finale, but the is more unexpected mind blowing awesomeness to come in the future. (I found it funny, that the very place where Miller and his pet nuke comes out from the service corridors is the very arcade from where he failed to find the service corridor when he was hiding with Holden)
Eros does appear to thumb its nose at virtually every law of motion and most of the laws of thermodynamics. Humans are still limited to communications at the speed of light (which means there is almost a full hour of lag-time between sending a message from Earth to Tycho and getting a response back). Whoever built the protomolecule has sent their equivalent of a quantum computer to Sol System, where humans are still doing the equivalent of knapping flint knives and spears.
After I saw this episode, I thought that was definitely not the end of the both of them considering the fact that we still don't know the full capabilities of the protomolecule. Did anyone had that same feeling?
Re-watching this with you is a pleasure. And honor. And fun.
Chapeau-bas. Thank you!
That Spaceballs reference had me in tears. I loved it! lol
"Can't stop the work"
That one flew over their heads lol for now
The show does such a good job developing tension, I actually felt pressure physically release from my chest when they finally slowed the Roci down.
This has literally been the first baby step.... enjoy the further episodes and prepare your mind to be blown.
RIP Miller ... you were a hero.
Steven, you asked where does this go from here? Ridiculous places dude, ri-fuckin-diculous places. And plaid, definitely goes plaid.
That was the end of book 1. That's why it felt like a season finale.
I love that this show has such an unconventional structure with respect to the books versus the seasons. The title of S2E06 really does spell it all out.
a belter gave his life to save earth
Blue Julie: "can't stop the work"
Miller: "all right, we don't stop the work. Now we go to Venus, work continues"
The Protomolecule did not ignore the laws of physics. Its just that what we thought of as laws are not really.
The Expanse is a good name, isn't it? It's like every step outwards brings on a logarithmically larger set of scary challenges. This thing explodes, rather than unwinds. And yet the human element is all relatable. Let's raise a glass to all the cast too - there's not a bad one among them. Even the minor characters are delivered with conviction and originality.
glad to see you watch that one. Miller finally found his soulmate right at the end. Bittersweet ending to Miller. Will be fun to watch your reactions continue as this show is amazing and gets better.
Nikki: "Are you kidding me, you're trying to give me a heart attack" Me-same response every episode! Strap in for the churn...
Everyone is always waiting for the reaction to this episode. I for one am looking forward to your reaction to the next episode. How do you come back after destroying the mystery that has driven your first season? You will see, you will see!
I loved how they told Miller half of Earths arsenal is on its way and Miller is just "huh."
Oyedeng pampa. Miller had a great story.
8:33 - Steven and Amos: exactly the same reaction.
that's f'n hilarious. 😂
The ending was truly heartfelt.
I've watched a lot of TV in my time. That's a top 10 All time episode!
Magnificent! And, Why does a sci-fi show have one of the most beautiful love stories ever?
Where do we go from here? GREATNESS. Unpredictable greatness.
That was such a great ending. RIP Miller....we hope.
"It's to go ludicrous speed" ..."What I have done...my brains are going to my feet" best movie :D
Favorite Episode! Favorite Reactors!
Aaaaaaand that's the end of *Leviathan* *Wakes* , id est Book One of The Expanse ;).
Love your reaction!^^

For anyone who doesn't get the, "We can't stop...we have to slow down first," quote.
That’s it I am rewatching all of the expanse - great reaction as always btw
Errinwright called and left a message 😂
Juan M got my 16 year old daughter hooked during the lockdown. Excellent show to prove to her that sci-fi doesn't have to be the pablum we've been getting from mainstream studios.
The Expanse is one of the best story driven, character deep series I've ever seen. The cast is phenomenal, the science is respectable, and the story is unreal. So glad you guys are finally going thru it. It's even replaced Star Trek and Star Wars as my favorite sci-fi show.
RIP, Detective Miller.
LOL... "We've gone plaid!" Steven - you are one lucky SOB to have a special lady who can make that reference.
Took y'all long enough!!! I feel like you're finally getting what this show is really about. Nobody is in control
Remember when Dresden said that Phoebe was meant to crash into Earth. That was what Eros was trying but it settled for Venus. Wonder what's going on there now... The Work ain't over.
Goodbye Miller...
I started this show because of y'all and have been watching it and coming back after every episode to listen to your discussions! It's been so good!! So glad I started! I'm hooked!
“I’m done fighting, I just want to go home…”
Gods that like hit me right in the feels.
We're heading for Venus
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen
And welcome us all,
With so many light years to go
And things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
"You can't stop, you gotta slow down first!" Ohhhh that will be sooooo well demonstrated in the future :D
This episode for me was one of the best sci fi things I've seen, and that moment when Miller finally meets Julie was soooo well done, so touching and sad, and at the same time, sooooo good, my eyes get wet everytime I see that moment.
Best episode ever, for me. Plenty more great stuff to come, though. I'm a little shocked neither of them cried.
Subjectivity13 Nikki was super close. But remember she’s been hardened by GoT and BB. 🤷🏽♀️❤️
The spaceballs reference broke the mood.
Oh, good. For a second there I thought we'd completely lost control of the situation.
Steven had the exact same reaction to Naomi setting Alex straight as Holden and Amos!
This is just a tip of the iceberg. You guys do not realise how much bigger it gets. Hands down one, if not the best sci fi show ever done
I know it would be impossible to show but in the book Miller searched for hours and hours for Julie in Eros, refilling air and so on at emergency stations before finding her, it was a very interesting time with a co-partner that was a bomb...
This is the best episode of any TV show I have ever seen.
So goooood
Oh, you think THIS is big...?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! NO SPOILERS 😀
Elite Spaceballs reference
And now it gets interesting-er haha
as far as i understood the kiss wasnt in the screenbook and was improvised
So excited :) instandly clicked the Video!
