i get that they had to show her suffering and many attempts. But I feel like half the episode Was naomi just gasping. Kinda felt like a wasted episode when there's only a couple more in the season and only 1 season left.
i get that they had to show her suffering and many attempts. But I feel like half the episode Was naomi just gasping. Kinda felt like a wasted episode when there's only a couple more in the season and only 1 season left.
I feel like it's in some middle ground where I would expect her to be more truly incapacitated at first and less gasp-y once recovered.
The Naomi and Marco things also feel like they have taken up all the time and they are interminably boring to me. Her nuclear family drama is the least interesting thing happening during this season but taking up the majority of the time.
Also, from a pedantic perspective:
1. They should have probably spent more time with Naomi's debilitating recovery. She'd likely be suffering from temporary blindness, ridiculous stiffness due to extreme sunburn/radiation burns, and may have internal bleeding in the lungs and elsewhere. The signs of dehydration are fitting though; all the moisture in her mouth, nose and eyes would have boiled off.
I'm not a doctor, but I do doubt the functionality of "hyper-oxygenated" blood while still in vacuum. I'm pretty sure that'd be a recipe for instant decompression sickness. That oxygen is going to basically bubble out of solution immediately.
2. I'm unclear why Naomi had so much trouble lifting a grate. The show implies her ship is moving by giving her gravity, but it's certainly not at 1 g (which would likely be suspicious to an approaching Rocinate if a gravity-intolerant belter on board). Transports seem go at 0.1 to 0.3 g, so even at 100 kg of mass that is only 30 kg of weight. You bring a pulley into it and it should be a piece of cake.
But I also don't know why your floor grates would be unsecured in the first place, that sounds like a recipe for getting people crushed during unintentional deceleration.
3. The zero-gee water on Drummer's ship seemed fitting (since they're stationary next to a wreck). But her bottle of alcohol didn't seem to make any sense. All the fluid was brought to the neck end of the bottle. That's fine while she's sucking it out of the bottle. But that doesn't make much sense when she's laying there with the bottle.
Either air rushes in and pushes the liquid back down to the bottom (and then it tries to form a ball, gets caught on the sides of the bottle by capillary action and sort of sticks as globules inside from surface tension), or she caps it and then it sloshes around inside (and then tries to form a ball, surface tension, etc., etc.).
I feel like the last few episodes had very little happening so my brain started trying to work through the mechanics of things.

On 1) Yeah. But they're already pressed for time. I kind of wish she'd had some sort of auto-doc kit to plug into for a day to hand-wave most of it away. I don't know exactly how hyper-oxygenated blood would work but I don't think the oxygen would immediately leave suspension. It would have to actually be exposed to vacuum for that to happen, which would only occur in the lungs. So long as it's in her veins (though I'm not sure how it gets there given she just jammed it into her thigh) it should be able to eventually make it to her brain mostly intact.
2) My assumption was that she was extremely weak from the vacuum exposure and basically her entire body is bruised, so extertion of any kind is just straight-up painful. I also assumed the grate has some sort of catch she released before trying to lift it.
3) The show has had a problem with depicting drinking in low- and zero-G the whole time. The books describe all liquids off-planet as being served in 'bulbs', which I gather are something like a plastic pouch with a nipple or sippee-cup-style thing on the end. You either suck the liquid out or squeeze the bulb to squirt it into your mouth. I don't think I've ever seen one on the show and people are all the time drinking out of mugs and glasses and shit, which make no sense aboard ships that sometimes have no gravity.

Oxygen bonds to hemoglobin, so it's not in solution a good part of the time. This would be some analog which doesn't turn red when oxygenated.

I rescind the hyper-oxygenated blood complaint. It's probably fine. I wasn't aware of the actual bonding of oxygen to the hemoglobin molecule as @redx mentions. I've also learned that hemoglobin can bind to CO2 (so that would help not exploding lungs, since the added oxygen wouldn't have to be expelled as CO2 dissolved in the blood).
But I'll note decompression sickness can be caused by any gas. Nitrogen is the most likely because it's relatively unreactive and present in normal breathable atmosphere on earth. Helium is the other common one on earth because it's used for compressed air in deep diving. Hydrogen and CO2 are also common candidate gases.
I have to assume the ships in the Expanse do have an abundance of nitrogen in the atmosphere. The info box Naomi looks at has the ship's pressure as 1 atm (101 kPa/15 psi). You would not want that as pure oxygen (aside from flammability, you'd have oxygen toxicity problems over Expanse-length journeys). You're probably looking at 20/80 oxygen/nitrogen mix. You probably wouldn't want to mix with expensive gases like helium, neon, or argon, or potentially explosive gases like hydrogen. But I don't think there's as much issue with nitrogen bubble formation going from 1 to 0 atm. And the hyper-oxygenated blood would probably be purposefully devoid of nitrogen.
I highly object to the use of an anarchy symbol behind Inaros' rant. He's a hyper nationalist, not an anarchist.
Marco is an anarchist the same way the Nazis were socialist. The label was useful for him, so he stole it, but he's not even slightly.
Hell going by his conversations with Philip he's the next best thing to a monarchist.
The show has never gone into real life political terms or symbology before this, and nothing Inaros has said indicates anything about using "anarchy" as a screen for legitimacy. He's been explicit in the idea that belters are separate and different from inners, and that everything out there belongs to them. Nothing about any of that is anarchist.
It felt like they just slapped that symbol in there because they think it's a bad symbol for baddies.

The symbol is from the flag for the OPA. But I think they did take a lot of inspiration from the anarchy symbol for the show.

That's the old school OPA "split circle" symbol. He's using it to contrast with the newer, "reformed" OPA Navy symbol introduced by the Dawes faction via Ashford, where they all started wearing uniforms.

Hey do we ever find out how Naomi and Amos meet? I've only read the books and seen the show, none of the novellas.
I think the books say
Random chance on a freighter they were both working for. Little Timmy recognized something that said "She will be my conscience Jiminy Cricket" and he's always been at her side on his adventures to become a real boy.
I don't know if I've ever had a more frustrating TV watching experience than watching Naomi spend several episodes getting guilt-tripped for being a bad mother by a bunch of people who've just committed genocide. Thank God that part of the story seems to be over now because the rest of this season has been awesome.

I apologize, I asked because some stuff hits way harder after I had kids than before. I've noticed that friends of mine will dislike stuff that hits me like a truck because it involves kids.

Oh no, you're fine
I didn't at all mind the Naomi-Phillip dynamic. It was Naomi's interactions with everyone else that were exasperating, because (a) she never seemed to make any real effort to argue her corner, and (b) realistically the attack on Earth should have overshadowed every interaction Naomi had with the crew from that point on, but instead it seemed to be pushed to the side in favour of everyone else taking turns at making her feel bad.

yeah.. I feel like here, something from the books was somehow.. missing?
book spoilers of those scenes
I feel like in the book, it was made way more clear that everyone involved in this was just a mass murderer, and would stay forever just that, and it would only end if the realization of what they had done destroyed them, or those hunting them for what they had done- everyone involved had ended their own lives as well, they just hadn't realized
and in the book, the realization hit some of them while naomi was still on the ship, iirc
There's a lot more introspection in the book about killing Earth and if I remember correctly, some characters end up doing more bad things because at that point they are already monsters from what happened to Earth, so what's the issue with doing more bad shit.
Yeah, either the launch was knocking the snow off the house roof or it was disintegrating the house. Since the latter would be pretty stupid design, I'm hoping it was the former or the result of having to juice the launch more than usual due to all the extra human cargo.

Yeah that was 100% not what was supposed to happen.
they're supposed to launch with the steam RCS thrusters, like how the Roci landed on Ilus. Erich skipped the launch sequence, lit the fusion torch when they were on the ground and spread nuclear fire everywhere.

The Naomi and Marco things also feel like they have taken up all the time and they are interminably boring to me. Her nuclear family drama is the least interesting thing happening during this season but taking up the majority of the time.
Also, from a pedantic perspective:
I'm not a doctor, but I do doubt the functionality of "hyper-oxygenated" blood while still in vacuum. I'm pretty sure that'd be a recipe for instant decompression sickness. That oxygen is going to basically bubble out of solution immediately.
2. I'm unclear why Naomi had so much trouble lifting a grate. The show implies her ship is moving by giving her gravity, but it's certainly not at 1 g (which would likely be suspicious to an approaching Rocinate if a gravity-intolerant belter on board). Transports seem go at 0.1 to 0.3 g, so even at 100 kg of mass that is only 30 kg of weight. You bring a pulley into it and it should be a piece of cake.
But I also don't know why your floor grates would be unsecured in the first place, that sounds like a recipe for getting people crushed during unintentional deceleration.
3. The zero-gee water on Drummer's ship seemed fitting (since they're stationary next to a wreck). But her bottle of alcohol didn't seem to make any sense. All the fluid was brought to the neck end of the bottle. That's fine while she's sucking it out of the bottle. But that doesn't make much sense when she's laying there with the bottle.
Either air rushes in and pushes the liquid back down to the bottom (and then it tries to form a ball, gets caught on the sides of the bottle by capillary action and sort of sticks as globules inside from surface tension), or she caps it and then it sloshes around inside (and then tries to form a ball, surface tension, etc., etc.).
I feel like the last few episodes had very little happening so my brain started trying to work through the mechanics of things.
2) My assumption was that she was extremely weak from the vacuum exposure and basically her entire body is bruised, so extertion of any kind is just straight-up painful. I also assumed the grate has some sort of catch she released before trying to lift it.
3) The show has had a problem with depicting drinking in low- and zero-G the whole time. The books describe all liquids off-planet as being served in 'bulbs', which I gather are something like a plastic pouch with a nipple or sippee-cup-style thing on the end. You either suck the liquid out or squeeze the bulb to squirt it into your mouth. I don't think I've ever seen one on the show and people are all the time drinking out of mugs and glasses and shit, which make no sense aboard ships that sometimes have no gravity.
