"cant get any worse" ... oh my sweet summer child
The tsunami scene is probably my favorite one in this season. It just looks so powerful and destructive, I love it :D
“Six hours until what, Alex?” Holden said. “Details, please.”
“Figure two-, three-hundred-kilometer-an-hour winds, lightning, torrential rains. You’re far enough inland to avoid the three-kilometer-high tsunami.”
“Basic wrath of God package, minus drowning,” Holden said, reaching for humor to hide his rising fear. “How certain is this?”
“Uh, Captain? I’m watching the other side of the planet rip itself to shreds right now. This isn’t a prediction. This is thousands of klicks of planet between you and the apocalypse disappearing fast.”
“Got some video to send?”
“Yep,” said the pilot. “Got fresh underwear for after you watch it?”
Loved the way they depicted it in the book. The air blast as depicted in the show was muted by comparison -- as someone who lives in an area subject to frequent and severe thunderstorms, we know a thing or two about how changes in air pressure herald their arrival. The blast front from that impact wouldn't be a one-and-done gust like we saw here, it'd be more like how the book describes it (and if you were too close to the impact site, with too much air piled up, it'd flat-out kill you like the concussive shockwave put out by a bomb); figure they decided a wave was more dramatic (I will admit it's damned good television).
It's going to end here..nope, It's going to end here...nope, It's going to... AHHHHHGG!!
See you next episode.
Sonny's Jim at the end is pure character love.
I was laughing so hard when Kat was complaining about having something irritate her eye and you were going to watch this episode. So fitting. As for what you saw, I would like to point out that the reactor failures on ships started after the island power plant exploded and their sensors showed other islands were winding down. I am fairly sure it was a security measure to shut down the other islands that crippled the ships power generating systems as side effect. No idea what the melting moon was about, but maybe it was siphoning off the heat from the islands? Though I am surprised it would be enough energy to melt whole moon. Or maybe it is just the surface that is used to cool off by the ambient absolute zero temperature of space?
Matej Sojka the moon was explained in the books: the shuttle was shot down by a particle ray from the moon before the latter started to meld. The moons contain ancient defense platforms, which broke directly afterwards, and their reactor failed.
@@FlowNeffets
They did a poor job of explaining or even showing that in the show.
@@Cbricklyne
No they just straight up didn't bother with it at all. All we saw was red glowing in the moon. No discussion, no other visuals.
I found the melting moons to be the most fascinating part o this episode. What kind of force or magnetism could create such an event? I love the Expanse and you guys! this is the only tip of the iceberg tho. Prepare ourselves!
Murtry never said they had to take them out. He said if survival came down to us or them dying, it's them. He's a security guy, ofc his number one priority is going to be his people. He'll cooperate as long as it makes sense, then he's gonna start protecting his people. He's such a well written character.. god this show is amazing
Ilus has 13 moons evenly spaced in a shared orbit, most likely protomolecule tech.
And such an arrangement is naturally unstable and would decay into chaos within months if not artificially stabilized. That gives you a hint of how profoundly engineered this planetary system is. The "builders" essentially made planets like we make factories.
Naturally and in real space, this would and could feasibly never happen.
That worried look on your faces, Sonny calling out to Jim.
How to be a practical person, a book by Amos 😂
Kat: *Complaints about sensitive eyes.*
Me: *Remembers about the eye thing going on Ilus.* Oh boy...
That scene with Ashford and his baby girl got me really emotional.
I wasn't sure if I liked Bobbie going rogue at first, but I think this really fits Mars situation. Before the Ring, everyone working as one for the goal of creating life on Mars (Heard this song today and it's stuck in my head), like a huge hive mind, and now is everyone for themselves. Besides, all she did was trying to do the right thing, but since it wasn't for Mars's sake, she gets tossed aside. It's better for her to think only on herself for now.
Yes, the network of connected systems is all in the milky way. More precisely, they are all within a relatively small bubble of maybe 1000 lightyears across. Which makes perfect sense since the method of spreading out the network is via protomolecule rocks travelling at a tiny fraction of the speed of light for probably millions of years before they reach their respective target. No faster than light engines anywhere here.
This small bubble of space still contains millions of systems, so there is no shortage of potential targets.
+ A billion years ago, everything might have been a little bit closer to each other
@@KatSonny Oh, wow. I didn't think of that! And apparently the authors of the books didn't either! At least there is no mention of that as of yet that I am aware of. You are right: since the builders vanished the milky way made 6-7 full rotations! And the systems of the network would have dispersed over a larger area! Congratulations: you found an oversight in the lore! ;)
CitizenHans
Thank you! I was just thinking about how the universe expands and accelerates exponentially (that's what I was taught in school anyway) so I couldn't help but think one billion out of 14 years meant some distance closer than "now".
@@KatSonny OK, turns out we were speaking of different things then. For the time being only the space between galaxies is expanding, gravity keeps the integrity of galaxies intact. The expansion of the universe needs to accelerate by many magnitudes before it can start to rip galaxies apart. There is an ongoing debate whether or not that will ever happen. Hopefully it doesn't because I find such an end to the universe depressing. ;)
@@hcwm2
It's not that only the space between galaxies is expanding. It's that all space is expanding but it's only really affecting things on the scale of intergalactic distances. You mentioned gravity vs expansion which is just like how the forces in an atom work, the strong force overpoweres electromagnetism inside the nucleus and holds the protons together who otherwise want to fly apart because they're repelled by each others positive charge. So that's the strong force defeating electromagnetism inside a nucleus like how gravity is defeating the expansion of space inside galaxies. That reminds me of how nature has repeating patterns that go through all it's scales like the fractals of deltas to blood vessels.
Also what's interesting is that as a nucleus gets bigger and bigger it gets more unstable until eventually the strong force is defeated and we get radioactive decay. What would the decay of galaxies look like? Fascinating. The patterns continue. The hypothetical model of the universe's death being at the hands of ever accelerating expansion is called the big rip (I just realized that's kind of hilarious what with the connotations of it) but maybe it should universal decay.
Oh, they do love their cliffhanger endings. I'm on my nth rewatch and it still amazes me how much happens in the next 4 episodes. So your eyes are bothering then, Kat? Could be worse, I guess? 😉
A good way of thinking whats going on with New Terra is imagine you are a cave man and you walk into an old smelting plant/construction site etc. chance death is high and you have no idea why
The tension from you two at the end was viceral. You could have cut it out of the air and served it for lunch!!
Bless you, Kat.
cliffhangers are brutal. This show does that soooo well. Wife and I binged this season in two days, because of those damn cliffhangers!! This show keeps you on the edge of your seat!
Four episodes left! Then... we wait for season 5.
Haha that end of episode screaming. It brings warmth to my heart. Also becoming a regular fixture. XD
Not sure if I did this right, but I used google to convert 50,000 exajoules into megatons and it came out at 11,950,287 megatons. The Tsar Bomba was 50 megatons.
Great reaction guys! Have fun on the reactions, but don't stress to much this season has more thrilling moments then action and they are great. Also be prepared for the Clift hangers on each episode.
It so difficult to not spill the beans about the rest of the season. Now, it gets good. I haven't read the books but I have to wonder if the Martians (and others) will reconsider the practicality of settling new planets after hearing of tsunamis, explosions, metal swarms and shut-down ships. Maybe Mars could pull itself back together.
It's funny listening to you two talk about how much you don't like Leelee. She is actually one of my favorite characters this season. Not because she's a good person, i just enjoyed her character. By the way the actress that plays Leelee, Dayle McLeod, is 30 now. I believe she was 28 when this season was filmed.
(Fixed age. Math fail. I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since 1990)
She's 30
Damn I love this show. Maybe it's cause the book series is in contention for my favorite series ever, full stop. But either way, I love this tv show too, unconditionally.
The Expanse of Cliff Hangers.
When the planet is trying really hard to kill you 😬
The Protomolecule on the planet has gone into high-defensive mode, possibly because one of its reactors exploded. I'm thinking that for some reason there is a moon in geosynchronous orbit above each major reactor, and the melting moon is the one over the reactor that exploded.
I never saw a good reason for Holden to be outside trying to raise the door instead of Amos (or several other people helping), except that Holden was being Holden.
Murty has forbidden the Edward Israel to contact headquarters, which proves that he knows his actions would not be approved.
Kirk Darling I think it made more sense for Amos to be inside trying to pull the rope with other people. & Holden wanted to make sure it worked. It wasn’t “Holden being Holden” whatever that means.
Holden was already up there when he realized someone needed to go outside, no?
I'm sure that, had they had just a quarter hour more, they could have set up a powered winch to raise the door with. Damned uncooperative tidal waves....
The way the wave just **annihilated** the settlement everyone had been squabbling over hours earlier... man. Excellent SFX work.
Ahahaha! Those sneezes... When I sneeze, people can hear me from a kilometre away.
Yeah, I thought Holden would die in thas scene. Kinda go out in his own ultimate sacrifice heroic way.
Music and sound design in that tsunami scene is amazing, gave me Interstellar vibes, from the water planet scene
Okay good I'm so glad she said something. I was so worried at first I thought something was wrong 🥺. ☺️
Yeahhhhh more Expanse!
My f'ing allergies have been killing me since April - gonna be a real fun 5 months
Aaand everybody thinks you have been infected with COVID-19 😹
I know the pain
@@KatSonny Hah, i've had to call in because of migraines and couldn't say i was sick - i'd be forced to take 2 weeks off. Just had to blankly say 'personal day' 🤐
trouserferrets
Wow, that's some real tough allergies!
Only four more episodes left, and so much that happens in those episodes :)
-Sneeze - Gotta use that inner elbow, kid. (Miller voice).
Love ur reactions .. Peace ❤
Yay more The Expanse! Bad Morty...
Evil Morty
(of a different kind.
When I read your comment, the "La la la la la la la la" song went off in my head)
And the protomolecule stopped fusion in the regional space around the planet because the ancient reactors are melting down, so it's an automatic safety measure
4 episode more and then the long wait until season 5.
They finished filming before the world shut down, so yay for that.
@@andromedaspark2241 yeaaaaah!
Not really long.
Season 5 should be out a little later this year (by November or maybe by Christmas if they decide to keep the same release date as Season 4)
Someone make a gif out of Kat's eye dance. ;)
Edit: And a meme of that side glance she gave Sonny when he recontextualized her "dating" comment. :p
Weren't the structures supposed to stop on the islands? Could each island be connected to one of the artificial moons? Really curious has to what the outcome would be if humans had not interfered. Feels like it all got concentrated into one spot, enough to cause all this and a moon to melt, lol
Never read the books but it would be extremely cool if Bobby was actually working for Avasarala while doing all this...
Season 4 is the "And then..." season :)
the animosity here is not simply earthers vs. belters. First of all, the belters are becoming planetary (not really belters any more). But more importantly, the conflict is with Murtry, who is violently insane.
No no, it is not that simple and we are well aware. Every time we’ve called Murtry out for being a power hungry mad man, people have gotten angry with us, saying he didn’t do anything wrong.. so in this one we just didn’t go into further detail.
I think the moon is melting because inside it, it was a leftover orbital defense satellite, and it just shot down the shuttle descending to the planet, and the firing of the beam had melted the icy surface.
A note to the visitor from outer space that just possessed Kat's body: you better get yourself together if you want to blend in on Earth, dude.
I don't think we're ever given Leelee's age. David Draper (Bobbie's nephew) is 15.
So, here's a switch. I'm actually gonna defend Morty for once. Despite my overall criticism of him (as a 'person', not the writing of the character), his caution about the shuttles is warranted.
First, the current dangers of the uncharted planet make it prudent to operate only one shuttle at a time given the highly unexplained events happening: a giant explosion, a man who talks to a dead person who is connected to dead aliens, flying metal bugs, and fusion being put on pause.
Second, he's still at odds with the Belters who had at least one group of extremists try to blow up a shuttle earlier and half succeed. Now that Murphy has executed (or IMO murdered) that group, there may be a new group and more reprisals. While blowing up a shuttle is not a sensible thing for anyone to do right now, extremists are not known for their sensible nature.
So, from my perspective, Marty _is_ actually playing ball by agreeing to help the Belters get off-planet at all but still being prudent by keeping one shuttle in reserve.
(Also, it saves him from the danger of having any 'special modifications' revealed.)
Murtry is still an asshole, though.
I doubt that Inaros is much into building up something. I knew men like him from real life they are so filled with rage and thirst of revenge that they loose any abilitiy to do anything constructive. He is more of the type if you wont let me have it i make sure noone else get it either.
I don't know if you have read the books but THIS comment is the best description of Inaros.
@@d-zeronut5094 I am just finished the second book and are about to start the third one.
Moon? It's not a moon, it's a space station
I still think Drummer did the right thing by letting him go.
Maybe at the time, but hindsight is a bitch.
