Season 2, Episode 8


This show just gets more intriguing as each episode rolls on.

Naomi keeping that protomolecule torpedo a secret still, I applaud this show for being able to keep secrets longer than several episodes.

Glad the mutiny was resolved in a single episode, and Drummer--yes, she's awesome.

So we're off to Ganymede Station, is this going to be another Eros or are we in for the unexpected? :)

I'm not sure what to expect on Ganymede but I can't wait to find out. I don't think it will be another Eros though. I still would like to know about Venus.

We finally found out who was waving at martian marines. It was nothing sinister, just a little girl, like many kids would wave at the passing train. So, that mystery is solved.

We again discovered that belters are the best at information-gathering. They found a protomolecule on Ganymede, but they aren't sharing that info with anyone. Earth and Mars are still in the dark, as far as we know.

I was a bit disappointed with no news about Venus. I presume the next episode won't cover that topic either and will be all about Ganymede. Can't wait to find out what they discover.

Venus is gonna become one giant protomolecule planet that is both alive and self-aware.
Also, keeps real-time connection to all the protomolecule monsters "yet unrevealed Planet".
There are more of them created atm )))

...as opposed to sending snail mail?
Radio is real-time, too. It's just not INSTANT across the vast distances between planets.

Have you read the books or are you just guessing? You sound like you know what you're talking about. I hope you're bluffing cause if you weren't, you revealed too much. Next time put "spoilers" somewhere, in the beginning of the post, perhaps? I don't want to know this much.

reply

That stuff is definitely somewhere in the future tho, probably about season 3-4, so by the time it rolls out next year you might not even remember :D

reply

Okay, I'll try to forget :)

Btw, one of the newest changes Jim made is spoilers (only in old posts for now), Maybe we'll get them for new posts as well soon. That would be cool.

A bit more action than the last in this one but still felt a bit like a transport episode. Happy that they are off from Tycho station at least. The intrigues between Fred and the belters was getting stale. The sudden "you are not my friends and not welcome back" from Fred (btw, where did that come from? He saved his life a moment ago!) indicates that they are not going back there anytime soon.

Not a fan of Drummer at all. Mainly because the actress playing her is bad and doesn't create a believable character to me. The acting when she was alone with Naomi was absolutely horrible. Liked the quick executions tho :)

Really felt like something is missing without Jane and anything from Earth or the martians. Hopefully things will pick up pace again in the next episode.

reply

I suspect Earth will be back very shortly, especially with 'always angry MCRN girl' being questioned there regarding the Ganymede incident.

Resting Bitch Face ( it's a thing ); except she's never at rest.
