Some questions after watching s02e01-02


How could Gunny beat the robot in arm wrestling? Are females stronger than men in this future or did she have some mechanical enhancements?

Can they use the F-word or not on Syfy? Because the copy I watched had Miller and Chrisjean saying it but obviously edited out. Why would it even be in the script if they cant air it?

What was up with Naomi's black disappearing bra? Was that some other kind of censor thing they edited in afterwards? During the sex scene she was wearing it and then it just disappeared into thin air on camera.

Whats up with the necclace Miller is carrying around? I forgot where its' from.

Miller founnd the necklace in Julies appartment on ceres, if i remember correctly. It looks like prayer beads used in many religions. There might be more to it, because he only took the beads and a picture from her appartment.

I dont know if only draper won against that robot. if thats the case, an enhancement would be the best explanation, because there are other soliders in that room that have physical advantages (more musclefibers, longer arms,...) and she doesnt use any secret technique.
Maybe it wasnt about strenght but about her unusual behavior, considering the martians in season one would never damage inventory to show off. I guess i have to rewatch it...

As for Bobbie (Gunny), in the books she was described as over 2 meters tall (6'7"), and very muscular and physically intimidating, unlike the lanky Belters who are a similar height. She's by no means representative of women in this future, but an outlier.

Syfy, like any other basic cable network, can show anything that HBO or other premium cable networks can. There was a court case years ago that ruled that since you're paying for the service, and it's not being broadcast on public airwaves, it doesn't fall under the same FCC regulations as broadcast networks like NBC and Fox. Comedy Central at least used to occasionally air unedited movies late at night, like The Big Lebowski, including the profanity and nudity. They usually self censor, though, probably to keep from being controversial and keep advertisers happy.

Totally unrelated, under the text box where I'm writing this reply, there's a message telling me that I should upload a custom avatar to make my posts stand out more on the IMDb message boards. 

My shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter because I've forgotten how to dance
