This season has been a bit uneven for me. After the first episode of the season we had to take a few weeks break because it just didn't seem to mirror the quality of the previous seasons. But we gave it a fair shot and have found some of the storylines interesting enough to hold our interest.
This episode felt a bit all over the place. First of all, if there was an explosion that wiped out the side of a building on Mars it seems like there would be no survivors instead of what happened. Especially since there were no pressure suits available.
Secondly, Ed's aging makeup is all over the place, this latest incarnation looking like a high school play. I know he's a main character and the like and the character has a grudge but his character is starting to really grate on our nerves and we're not finding a sympathetic string to hold onto.
Thirdly, I don't know if the character is poorly written or if it's poorly portrayed but the leader of the strike really feels out of place. The role doesn't seem convincing, and I don't know if it's because she's poorly written or if it's the acting. I know folks online like to complain about Kelly and Alaida, but I find them a bit more believable than this strike leader.
Watching this I feel like I'm watching Pre-Expanse activities without the production values of The Expanse. We'll finish out the season just to see what happens but it's not nearly as compelling as it used to be.
