What I wholeheartedly love about the "52-scene": The self-sacrifice of the Belters for the survival of other totally normal people truely contradicts Captain Martens' demand for sacrifice one episode before. Before the end of 2x10 Bobbie would have died for the dream of Mars, but then she recognizes that her mind was just influenced by a totalitarian government that would do anything to get more power, even victimize and sacrifice their own people. In contrast to that, the Belters wanted to live and were really angry about Naomi at first. But after they realised that only a few can survive they become brave and compassionate - and they don't need any government that says what it's worth dying for.

Holden's "This is the warship Rocinante" speech is one of his most badass moments of all seasons of this show. Damn, he's good!

Okay, this episode, when Chrisjen and crew get to Mao's ship and the guy offers them cucumber sandwiches keep your eyes on Bobbie...her expression when she bites the sandwiches is golden, watch how she starts stacking them up to make sure she gets enough... then watch her expression when Chrisjen says "get to the fucking point" lol It's one of those little moments you don't pay attention to the first time you watch it because your focus is on Chrisjen!

The woman entering the ship while looking back at a man (perhaps her son) in the last line, him waving to her like "go on, I'm right behind you", then the look on his face when he's stopped.

I think Errinwright’s initial cooperation with Chrisjen were genuine: to him, it was the best option for Earth at the time. Unfortunately his preferred version of ‘best’ is that Mars must be beaten, and Chrisjen telling him about the planned meeting with Mao gave him the opportunity to change his objectives accordingly.

Yeah Errinwright’s quite honest when he gives big speeches. I think he dilutes himself, but he has an objective not just random evil.

Lets hear it for Champa (acted by Gugun Deep Singh) a true hero and giant of the Belt and humanity, for saving 52 lives and then sacrificing himself "Everyone single one of you knew, you were certain on the day you were born: Our life is hard....We have to stay back, we have to stay back . So lets be tough and do what needs to be done ." A super powerful tear jerking scene. To me the oppressed Belters are like the Free folk or "wildlings" in GOT, while the protomolecule hybrids are the very scary White walkers...except in this story they are done right.

Heavy Titanic vibes in this episode. In fact there's a hidden easter egg. If you noticed Melissa's flight jacket, she has Gemini 3 written on the back. Gemini 3 was nicknamed "Molly Brown" as a reference to the famous survivor of the Titanic "The Unsinkable Molly Brown". The real story is that Gus Grissom was the commander of Gemini 3 and his previous mission ended with his Mercury capsule sinking, so this was an inside joke at NASA. Gemini 3 would hopefully stay afloat for recovery this time. In this episode, Ganymede is like the Titanic, the Somnambulist is the lifeboat, and Naomi is Molly Brown, who talked the lifeboat captain into going back and picking up additional survivors.

Alex didn't truly shoot that torpedo down, he told Roci to take care of it and the Roci shot it down.

What I absolutely love about the expanse - and it shows through in this episode more than most, is the fact that it shows humanity at its worst - but also at its absolute Best. 52 people saved in the worst situation - because everyone showed the ultimate heroism, giving up their lives so others might live. Naomi willing to give her life making it possible, but each and every belter not getting on doing the same. And Holden continuing his evolution as a commander, having to chose between mission and people, then making the right call, and being as much as a bad ass as Amos or Bobby (in his own why of course)...Alex, "here we go again..."

This particular episode has me wondering about things on a deeper level. Both Holden and Alex served in the military. One UN, One Martian. I know from personal experience that decision making is different from CO to CO, but I wonder if this is supposed to be some kind of metaphor for how someone from Earth views a situation and someone from Mars...or even maverick vs macgyver. Alex always seems to take the correct realistic route while Holden grows into coming around to that position. Like you said, between mission and people. Alex being from Mars, says a lot that he would represent the view of choosing people coming from a place where people aren't in high number but probably viewed with a greater reverence than someone from Earth might view people vs goal in-work. Or it's just training.

Showing tears is a good sign of love for the characters and the show after two seasons.

the scene on the docks with the belters gets me every time. One of the most powerful moments of television ever in my opinion.

Just to clarify Errinwight has a inner struggle in this episode and I'm pretty sure he had suicidal thoughts in that scene but with Chrisjen information he doubled down and betrayed Chrisjen for what he thinks is best for earth.

What I wholeheartedly love about the "52-scene": The self-sacrifice of the Belters for the survival of other totally normal people truely contradicts Captain Martens' demand for sacrifice one episode before. Before the end of 2x10 Bobbie would have died for the dream of Mars, but then she recognizes that her mind was just influenced by a totalitarian government that would do anything to get more power, even victimize and sacrifice their own people. In contrast to that, the Belters wanted to live and were really angry about Naomi at first. But after they realised that only a few can survive they become brave and compassionate - and they don't need any government that says what it's worth dying for.

That was a glimpse of what you can expect from season three. Also, Errinwright suddenly grew a backbone when Avasarala told him that she was about to meet Mao. The opportunity he needed to wipe the chess board.

When she said "we made it do it do what we wanted", she was referring to the protomolecule itself - not the hybrid(s). They CREATED the hybrids by "making" the protomolecule "do what" they "wanted". Eros was the experiment to see how it behaved. The hybrids were an experiment based on what they learned from that (ie 'how it works'). And the crisis on Ganymede -at large- was just the fallout from that experiment (or "field test"). They weren't indiscriminately unleashing it on the population.

This episode always gets me the most. The Belter sacrifice at the end.

This show really nails you in the feels 😭😭😭

The ABC team (Avasarala, Bobbie, Cotyar) came together on the way to Mao's yacht. Avasalara revealed her fears, Cotyar revealed his guilt, and that cause Bobbie to realize they were the team she needed to be part of. Notice how she threw her own body in front of Avasarala when the guns got pulled. But as much as Avasarala hates space, when she stepped out on Mao's yacht, she had her swagger dialed to 11. The Martian ship Karakoum was the ship Alex heard was landing to pick up the Protomolecule hybrid that the Roci crew released (and then hunted). It was also the karakoum that crashed into the Ganymeded dome (that boom that shook the people). I think Errinwright had already planned to take out the Martian defense minister and the Karakoum to leave Mao no option but to work with earth. It was a desperate plan that may or may not have saved his own career, and he may have been gambling that then Avasrarala would keep quiet about his part in the Protomolecule work (since she was the only other person who knew about it). But for sure, I think Errinwright was smart enough that the moment he heard Avasarala would be off planet and on the same ship as Mao, he began forming his plan to get rid of her as well. Okay, Steven, I was timing your blinks during Scene 52. But you did a man's job of holding back the tears. I've watched that scene a dozen times, but I've never been able to keep them all back. When the Ganymede harbormaster challenged the Somnambulist, did you notice that Naomi was checking on the Protomolecule torpedo she had hidden? Why at that moment? It's hard to imagine that the Belters would acquiesce to counting only 52 to be saved. But remember that Belters always live in the margin of survival. They're always subject to death and always know it. There would have been many, many times that Belters have had to make life-and-death decisions. Every Belter would known those stories, many would have relatives or friends who made those decisions, and some who chose to sacrifice themselves. So they would understand and, once calmed and reminded, get tough and make the same kind of decision when their own time came.

Errinwright has a blind spot in his aggression towards Mars just as Avasarala did/does toward the belt and the OPA in season 1. Both them intent on placing "Earth First," but each was focused more on their own personal demon. It made them work well together. The difference was that Chrisjen was able to see what was happening and change her outlook, while Errinwright never did. What I love most is that no one is doing evil for the sake of evil. You can see what motivates them. Even Daws, as grating as he is sometimes, is honest within his own beliefs.

".. I hope that protomolecule monster weapon thing ripped that doctor by half... " hehm...that would be merciful. Holden sent Amos to take care Naomi bcoz he believes that Amos would do anything to do just that. Amos also injured,so he need a rest. And in his mind he is going hunt like Capt Ahab with his Roci and he knew Alex is one of the best pilot there is. Prax is just tag a long baggage🤣🤣. It would going to burden him later. Alex establish himself as one of the best pilot in Scifi more and more. Ultimate pilot is the one that not only have the skill(or just brag about it) but also take care of his charge(vehicle and passangers alike). Alex is that quality personified. Not many pilot can match his quality. So many best moment and scenes, this is one of the best episodes of the series.

Can't wait for the next episode.

I think maybe Errinwright was planning on killing himself until he talked to Avasarala and found out she was going to meet with Mao. This presented an opportunity for him to turn the situation back into his favor. Kill that martian guy, destroy the martian black op ship sent to pick up the protomolecule hybrids then force Mao to work for him and Earth again while at the same time framing Avasarala as the traitor working with Mao and letting them kill her.

Nikki I’ve seen that scene 6 times and I’ve cried every single time.

I like to think of it this way: The protomolecule soldier that defeated the UN and Mars marines on Ganymede was 'Phase 1' of a test to showcase its tactical worth and drive up its value. It was, in whatever way they do, given orders and sent after those marines. The one that broke out of its containment cell, when the grenade was tossed back into the room, had not been given any orders yet, so most likely was operating at base level instinct, safety. At this point in the story we arent given the basic driving force that these protomolecule soldiers operate under.

Holden is on his own personal crusade trying to prevent what has already gotten out, much like Don Quixote riding his horse Rocinante to fight windmills.

@@ranialian8537 "Tilting at windmills" means fighting an imaginary enemy (Don Quixote imagined he was attacking giants when in fact they were just windmills) so for me it doesn't fit Holden. I guess there's arguably a sense in which it also means "a futile undertaking" but only because fighting an imaginary enemy is, by definition, futile - you can't defeat what isn't there. Holden's enemy isn't imaginary and his quest to destroy the protomolecule can _in principle_ be completed, even if _we_ know it's a fool's errand in practice. Maybe the consensus on the phrase's meaning is changing though. Language being fluid and ever evolving, the line between a definition being wrong and it just being the _new_ (or alternate) definition can be blurry. Slightly ironically though i'd say Holden's actions _could_ be described as "quixotic" (i.e. often rashly undertaken, doomed to failure and based more on lofty ideals than reality). But even that has a tinge of nobility (albeit misguided) and I don't think Holden is acting out of nobility at that point. Ahab just fits better IMO.

Errinwright had a plan, and sometimes plans come together, and sometimes, they go way, way south. So before he executed his plan, he made sure to put his affairs in order, including the heart-to-heart with his oldest, the letter to his youngest, and passing along his medals to his mentor to give to his kids after he was sent to prison. Crisjen meeting with JPM off-world was an unexpected but easily-incorporated bonus. The Poison. What? Poison a bottle of 107 year-old scotch? Sacrilege! "No, Pyotr. It was 186 minutes ago." He holds up the concert program, then explains that the toxin could be absorbed through the skin. Martian music might not be much to write home about, but Earth music is nothing short of killer.

@@bejanked I mean, the show was originally on SyFy, a basic cable network. How many people do you know that still have basic cable?

One of my favorite episodes of the whole series. Erinwright's coup completely caught me by surprise, and the scene with the big belter guy convincing the refugees to sacrifice for the sake of the 52 they could rescue was so powerful. I've seen it a dozen times and it still chokes me up every time. Also Alex bringing Holden back from the brink. This show is so f'ing good. Loving your reactions.

I watched this last night, thank you Nikki, I felt your emotion and reponded in kind, it was beautiful.

The boarding scene was really emotional.

I don't know how much I'm supposed to read into the bottle's source, but Scappa flow is a place with some history... as a strategic site. It was a vital naval base for Britain in WWII, and prior to that, it was where the impounded German warships of WWI were stored.

About the use of the kids they were picked for the medical problem they have. Remember Prax's friend who asked about his son Katoa, they have the same disorder. The book explains this better. Oh and also remember this phrase "can't stop the work"

This episode always gets me in the feels.

Great video! I like the way the show takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions! Can't wait until the next one! Stay safe and be well!

ooooooo i knew this episode is gonna be hard to watch for nikkie

Great reactions this episode, although I was hoping you'd catch the cucumber sandwiches bit. I honestly thought that Errinwright was going to go out with a suicide and think that's the way it was going before Chrisjen told him that she was going to meet with him, then the turn began to happen. It was well played.

Sometimes I see Holden as a mix of jon snow and commander shepard.

YES! Nikki you did it! Didn't even flinch at Steven's "Screaming Firehawks". One of us! One of us! One of us! :D

And THAT is why Belters take such pride in being Belters.

52 is my favourite belter moment, and one of the *sniffles* scenes for me in this show.

I love this episode and the thumbnail is just how I expected it :D This should be good!

god I've seen that scene at least 4 times and it still makes me cry..

You both are great! Love your videos!

Glad you enjoyed the episode, good luck with the next one, You will need it. ;-)

Nikki >:D< i cried too! That's my fave scene!

Holden became Capt Ahab in this episode.

told you guys...one of the best shows ever. Doom Squirrel knows.

I think Errinwright was planning on killing himself but then changed his mind and chose to fight instead.

I told you i was waiting for your guys reaction for the next one its gonna drop your jaw ... I watch reactions just reaction just to cry , and i mean happy cry is worth its eight in gold anyway been 2 days i wanna see the nexy episode
