I FORGOT TO SAY THANK YOU IN THE BEGINNING TO ALL OF Y'ALL ON UA-cam! BUT PLEASE KNOW I LOVE YOU AND CHATTING WITH ALL OF YOU AS WELL! Y'ALL HAVE BEEN A BIG PART OF MAKING THIS YEAR LESS SHITTY, SO THANK YOU
Did you notice the description of Clarissa Mao's implant on the screen in the Roci's med bay? "Endocrine Enhancement Implant. Control module for a full Endocrine axis conversion. Effects the right posterior parietal cortex, the right prefrontal cortex, as well as fronto-striatal circuits to alter the subjects perception of time. Saturates the body's system with a synthetic compound as well as enables the Endocrine system to over produce hormones that, when mixed and activated via control mechanism, create an extreme state of hyper physical and mental awareness in the subject. The stress created from this process would incapacitate the user. "
The book makes it all very clear what's going on. Unfortunately, they compressed book 3 so much for the show that there's a lot of blink-and-you-missed details that _should_ have been clear. Still, I'm just happy we got the show at all!
Hey, thanks for the christmas reaction gift. The final episodes of season 3 are amazing and I love seeing the reactions to them. It's still crazy to me to think that season three might have been the final season of the expanse ...
I love the scene of Naomi and Holden reuniting. I love them 💜 I also understand Ashford’s point of view, but I still think he should have listened to Holden as crazy as it sounds 😂 great reaction
From what Holden said, we can figure that the Ring space and the Ring Sphere form a travel system between star systems. But they ran into something that began killing them. The Sphere automatically tried to stem the destruction by destroying "infected" solar systems and closing those Rings. I'm sure Holden would like to talk to Proto-Miller, but Miller doesn't really seem to have any significant control of the Sphere. Miller is part of the Ring-building Protomolecule, not the Protomolecule Sphere. Amos does always gravitate toward morality, even if he doesn't completely comprehend it. The next episode will have you laughing, crying, sweating, cheering, and fist-pumping. These people know how to write a finale.
Great reaction! You have a great perspective on Drummer! She loves Naomi, you ask can we find someone for Drummer to love? It's strange you say this. Ashford is a true belter with a lot of experience! He has been around for awhile so his wisdom is pretty good! I really like his character! You pay very close attention to the fact that some other alien race killed the builders. Very nice, but very scary! Can't wait for the next one!
The ring space is essentially a travel hub, kind of like Atlanta Airport or Grand Central Station with the nucleus hub station acting as Air Traffic Control and security system in one.
It's definitely ok to have your opinions of the characters evolve as the show goes on! One of the things that makes this show great is that the characters are complex and multi-faceted, and not just cardboard cut-outs. The only _real_ mistake you can make is to assume that characters like Ashford or Clarissa are exactly what they seem when you first see them. :) Heck, even Jules Pierre Mao seemed to be at least _partly_ motivated by a desire to save humanity from the unknown protomolecule by learning as much as possible as quickly as possible. It's no excuse for what he did, but it makes it a little more understandable.
Ashford is a great example of how the show improves on the some of the books characters! In a relatively short period of time they manage to introduce a new character and give them so much depth, it's so much better than just having a good guy and a bad guy! Also, book Ashford was a dick😜
Thanks for sharing. Diego is a block-head. I don't know what to make of Ashford. I agree with your assessment of what Holden has found out. But I don't know if: A. A more powerful alien intentionally destroyed the proto molecule creators? B. They ran into something bad, like a fungus or toxic gas? C. Did they die out since the proto molecule was trapped in Saturn's gravity for so long? Side note: CARMEN YOUNG IF YOU REPLY, please use your inside voice.
Holden told Naomi that he'd been trying to contact Miller but he'd failed. So at the moment he couldn't advise anything other than what he already said: "We should leave this place and never return," which is not a viable option right now, due to the speed limit. In other words, even Holden can't help right now.
Diego is a twerp. And regarding Drummer, I said it before, the biggest mistake in the universe is to wound Drummer because she comes back *stronger* like a Super Saiyan.
Like I said last time Carmen, Klaes is old and experienced. He thinks he has seen it all. Given what he knows, it might be the right call. His mistake is that sometimes the correct action is to do nothing. Sure old space pirates have to wait in silence for their booty, but there most of the variables are known. Ashford is not used to addressing the truly unknown and is reacting defensively.

Thank you Carmen! Interacting with you on this amazing show we all love has made this year somewhat bearable! We love you! Merry Christmas!

Amazing level of detail in this show, so much so that it requires multiple watches to catch everything.

I can't wait for you to catch up because season five is fire
Omfg yes!
"Oh my god, really? REALLY?"
The proper response to the end of every episode.

I hate to say this but my favorite part of your reactions is when the episode ends on it usual cliff hanger ending and your reaction. Priceless!!!

You deserve our thanks far more than we deserve yours.

Another 21 episodes ahead of you stressing out.... can't wait :)
The next episode is going to be INSANE.

Shout out to Loki! Clearly he's channeling the freedom loving spirit of the Belters.
Can't wait to see your reaction to season 5 :)
Belter's culture in a nutshell: Sacrificing oneself for the 'greater good'.
thought that was my cat for a second. Turned around to yell at him and he is taking a nap.
Merry Christmas! Best wishes for 2021.
