As a parent I think this specific wording might mainly have been a way of easing Mei into complying and following Amos easier, but there was some underlying truth to it.

I think it's later season 3, when Amos mentions Prax being back on Ganymead, he refers to Prax as "My best friend in the whole world" , it's somewhat subtle. It's when he's being interviewed by the blind camera man and talking about the plant panels. Also there is a scene where Amos is going through his hand held and flipping through is contacts and you see at the bottom "MY BEST FRIEND"

My interpretation is that when Amos could see what his best friend in the whole world was about to do - it did hurt him to see what the situation was turning Prax into. When Amos took the gun he felt like he was doing what he was meant to do...protecting kids. That's why his eyes went dead and lethal, he had a job to do. A job he'd done many times before and a job he believed was right. Even his line "I am that guy". Amos believes he really is THE guy to punish those who hurt kids But yeah that's just my take on it. Naren Shankar was very good at making the difference between right and wrong very blurry and making us wonder why exactly characters made the choices they made.

I love how Amos’ preservation of Prax’s humanity allowed Prax to eventually save humanity through his work.

Exactly. And Amos' gift was to both to Prax and Mei. He knew Prax loved his daughter more than anything, and that he would be a different father after performing an execution. What Amos gave them was the best possible chance of returning to their previous life. This falls heavily into Amos' "protect the ones who need protecting" ethos.

It's mind blowing how much Wes is emoting with his expressions alone. The only character, that comes to my mind, that is anywhere close to Amos, is Gus Fring from Breaking Bad. The guy manages to change from polite, pleasant and mild-mannered fast food manager to "cold blooded killer" within the fraction of a second with his facial expression alone. Watching Gus change from one persona to the other is chilling, like the room cools down a few degrees when he puts away the mask. Amos is kind of the same, he manages to be a pleasant guy, but very subtle changes in his expressions, mannerisms and the way he talks lets the audience know: There's a fire burning underneath that guy's skin and he's not shy to let it out.

An interesting dichotomy there - by taking Mei's hand, Amos is accepting responsibility for her, and yet, "He is that guy" - Amos definitely 'compartmentalises' his feelings and responsibilities... so, don't get on his bad side. And as he said once to Alex, "I'm all for killing whoever needs killing, but it won't make you feel any better..." Maybe we could learn a lot from Amos... lol

The books gave me the sense Amos was a ..."reluctant sociopath." He was once pretty normal, but had a childhood that was grotesque. The woman he loved as his mother pimped him out young (implied she was responsible/aware, but never explicitly said) and life wasn't better on his off days. It turned him. He went cold and dark. Naomi was his first human relationship that had meaning, and then he grew over time to include others: Holden, Alex, Clarissa and then Bobby. Clarissa was his (successful) redemption project. The interesting thing is how the series treated that humanity in later books. Not bad, but more...full circle. I watched the show after reading the books, and they got Amos perfect. Best representation of a character I've seen yet.

There are loose ends to play with, so who knows what's next. As for the scene, Amos saving Prax's "soul" was great character development and a most likely partially done as a return of the respect given due to being given responsibility of May after being called " ... best friend in the whole world". Also because he knew May needed her father and she would have lost him if Amos didn't intervene. Some less experienced writers probably would have done all the exposition and "on the nose" writing of him saying out loud what he meant. "Your daughter needs you. If you do this, she loses you again because you will have become something you never were to begin with. This time, she loses you forever." Thankfully, we got this awesomeness instead. The scene is perfect and really shows both the writer's and actor's abilities.

This was a defining moment for Amos. He was learning to feel. Learning the real concept of true friendship. Most importantly he learned compassion. He was not going to let this man kill another because he knew what it would do to him psychologically. Amos had killed to survive. Here he is killing to protect his 'friends' mind and be a good father without the scars. Amos was so layered and 3 dimensional when you really looked at him. The actor killed it, no pun intended, when portraying every part to the part where I remember him having people that identified with Amos come to him and thank him for showing people what it was like to live with that kind of deep seated scarring of the soul and Id. Bravo! My favorite scene as any man would have done what Prax did, so much to unpack here. One of my favorite scenes of the show.

I don't panic in emergencies, and while I can be quite emotional myself, I really don't know how to deal with other people when they are in those same states. What I do know is, push comes to shove, I am that guy. And I'm happy to be many peoples friend. And I'd rather pull the trigger than anyone I know, because I know it would ruin them far more than it would ruin me. I'm already ruined when it comes to violence. That's the favor he did for Prax. I'm sure you already know all this, I'm just in a chatty mood. Having a friend like Amos (or me) is indeed an asset. It's kind of like how being friends with someone who owns a boat is way better than owning a boat. You don't want to be that guy. But it's good to know that guy. Elsewhere in the series, Amos tells Alex, "I haven't felt fear since I was 5 years old", and Alex says, "I wish I could go through life like that." and Amos says, "No, you don't." Amos is supremely well written. Whichever of the two authors took the reigns on his character, they either did a lot of research on childhood trauma, or had at least some first hand experience. People who had healthy childhoods might sympathize with Amos, but people with violent upbringings empathize with Amos.

Prax showed Amos that sometimes being "that guy" is the right choice. Amos is broken, but he always protects.

One of the best (and there are many) scenes in The Expanse, and the acting that made it work. Well done. The cast reaction at the post pro screening was the same way I felt. Well done Wes Chatham!

Amos is "That guy" we always needed and wished for.

I've seen this show in Italian, and the line has been translated to "non sei uno che uccide" ("you're not one who kills", basically "you're not a murderer"), but it's only watching the original that i got what it truly means. Amos there isn't referring to a hypothetical "that guy", but to the doctor himself, he turn his head the first time he says it as to say "you're not him, don't let blood stain your hands the way it stained his". Prax is still pure in Amos's eyes, but he's on the edge of becoming a monster on par with the doctor he wants to kill (sorry, I can't remember how his name is written), if he pulls the trigger he's not going to make it out unchanged, Amos knows that and knows Prax needs to stay pure, to not become the monster he's about to kill, for his daughter's sake, so he stops him, saying "you're not like this, you're not this monster". It was said that Amos divides the world in "those who kill", "those who don't" and "those who need to be killed", i think this is the peak example of this mentality.

I love Amos, but take a moment for the play of Prax... that flip from "I'm so happy I found you" to "There is something I have to do"

I watch the first episode of this show a week ago and I have binged all my way here. I love it

One of the best shows ever. So many layers and stories. They did a fabulous job on it.

Amos is, and always will be, my boy. I loved his reaction when Prax called him his best friend. Such an awesome scene.

This scene perfectly captures who and what Amos is, a man searching for connection and meaning, and the monster he was forced to become.

Best scene of this entire amazing series!

Love your videos especially bc you include all the context/buildup

I liked Prax.. this was a great season

Amos may be about the most perfect casting I have seen! Great job Wes! I just finished Leviathan Falls. What an amazing series! My favorite series ever.

This vid is amazing

Such a great series.

Every time I rewatch this scene I always feel the need to go back and rewatch the whole series again!!!

Great line. I had questions but I will save them for my own review video. Keep up the good work and bring the expanse back.

It's still on Prime.

The acting in this scene is just stellar all around. I've always been too caught up in the the scene to notice the individual performances before, but when I actually pay attention to how each actor performs, they're all just magic!
