Today's episode was pretty slow. Not much happened. Mostly Naomi family drama. But man, with a new bigger TV watching this in 4k HDR, this is one pretty show. That made up for the slow episode, but they need to pick up the pace a bit.
Naomi spacing herself wasn't enough for you?
Not to mention the space fight. Missiles and PDCs and railguns, oh, my!

It was a mindblowing moment, until she made it into another ship, so I think she'll be ok.

I kind of hope not. She's a whiny, "do what-the-fuck-I-want-even-if-it's-bad-for- everyone-else" c*nt. I've disliked her since season 1.
Besides, her demise might spur some action out of Holden and company.

Man, that scene with Cyn admitting he knew where Filip was...

Assuming Naomi survives thanks to hyper oxygenated blood, will that save her frozen eyes?

Bye Cyn.

Somewhat related, had someone refer to me as 'boss man' yesterday, and he even threw in the accent. Really made my Wednesday.

Best part is I don't even know that guy.

I've been finding her irritating too so if she fell off the radar I'm good with that. Having a new crew on the Rosi is the lead up to Cas leaving the show for S6 since he got into trouble. On a side note I'm still hoping that Amos finds love with Peaches which would really calm him down.

I love out-of-control Amos...

Geez Boomer, how do you really feel? . I'm on the fence.

Apparently, yes.

If an astronaut’s helmet was to accidentally come loose or come off completely in space, then obviously, this would be very bad news indeed. Remember that space is a vacuum, meaning that there are no particles floating around. When you are exposed to this, the air in your lungs has no choice but to be forced out through your mouth.


Not too long after, your breathing motions will seem fairly normal despite their being no air to breathe until you die of oxygen deprivation. Contrary to popular science fiction, you won’t freeze instantly and your eyeballs won’t explode but you will become aware of the spit on your tongue boiling away, as well as your sweat. On the whole, you’ll experience a kind of fizzy feeling – almost like drinking a carbonated drink.

Well, that mentions exploding eyeballs, which is not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to the effects of hyper delicate eye parts freezing. Freezing causes things to expand and rupture, and unless you're a specific Canadian frog, a beetle I can't recall, or a tardigrade, that freezing should produce irreparable damage to those delicate eye parts, especially all the tiny blood vessels involved.

I guess I'm hoping the show's creators aren't playing looser with science the farther we go. So far it's been much better than most sci fi series.

Edit: forgot the wooly bear worm/larvae. My sons wouldn't forgive me if I didn't do a shout out to their favorite hardcore survivor (big fans). Can you believe these little buggers can live in the Arctic?

While space is, of course, very cold - there are very few particles to actually collide with your body and remove it's heat. So I still say no. They will, as that little quote mentions, dry out because of the decrease in pressure (the thin film of water would 'boil' off). So, as your rightly point out, over a short span of time, oxygen is probably the most pressing issue since it might be impossible to hold your breath with the pressure differential.

And, yeah, there are buggers that live in insane conditions on earth. Kudos to them - amazing examples of evolutionary specialization and adaptation. Pretty mind boggling, and fun science for kids!

They should of spaced Naomi in the first episode. I know they save a lot of money on the graphics end of production by getting into the Naomi poor me stuff, but it's boring and the other characters have so much to add to the series. Just blow up that whole story line for me please and let's get on with the story. They wasted 3 or 4 episodes so far with that crud this season.

Have you read the books? I have listened to the audio books and believe me when i tell you that would be a mistake as it would throw out the timeline quite a lot.

That said, and since there are some LARGE differences in the show VS the books, there's the possibility that it wouldn't be as bad.

It's a damned shame they didn't get the show to be truer to the books. Don't get me wrong: the show is AWESOME but the books are even better, IMO.

I haven't read the books but I would wager her relationship with Inaris and her son might turn out to be pretty important to the story here.

I'm sure wishing that Naomi wouldn't have made it to the other ship. If only one of those giant star wars space worms would've been able to eat her between ships....

IMO the show lost something in translation from SCI-FI to Amazon. Not sure if it was just the pace or the plot or what. I'm still thoroughly enjoying the show, but the long form story telling and the dribble of content, the fact that the show has narrowed down its focus from broader interplanetary politics to a small case of characters.

Something just seems a bit off.

I really enjoyed the subtle flair of the first three seasons that really pulled you into this world where the Martians, Belters, and Earthers were so far apart in terms of culture, politics, and even on the verge of speciation. That said, I really wish the show would focus more on how the ring gate fundamentally shifted Martian and Belter culture for those left behind (this was touched on a bit with Bobbie's story in S4). That all seems gone now with this narrow focus on Naomi/Drummer's family drama, Holden & the Rocinante are sort of non-entities, Amos is off doing his own thing with Peaches.

I figure all this is building up tension for what will be a wild ride for the final episode of the season.

To me the storyline is too flighty and then when it does stop to focus the content doesn't seem appropriate when compared to the previous character and world building. Production under syfy had better transitions, however, the content of the latter books is more complex which might be the reason for the shift we're seeing.

Minus the sarcasm this is about how the last two episodes went....they were so lame and forgettable.

Well I got censured for making a quip that included the new episode name and someone got upset at me for it so I marked the next one as sarcasm just to be safe.
