Butt-clenching episode, some of the best TV ever made.
imbaczek1 June 2018
I usually don't care too much about what is shown on screen regardless of the show. I also usually don't write reviews.

This one blew me away. The fact that I've read the books mattered not at all. I was sitting there hypnotized until the credits ended (never happened, too, until now).

Picked up crazy pace again!

After just one setup episode, the pace really picks up and moves the main storyline briskly forward. The high, (9.7), user rating at the moment I write this is not a fluke. Like always in the show, character development takes the front seat. Take a careful look at the fast developing relationship between Holden and "Miller" aka Protomolecule/Ring..... "....We need tools.... You have a ship. The ship is a tool we need...."

The Expanse is opening new doors. I wasn't on the edge of my seat, I was STANDING!!

If SyFy executives have watched this episode, one wonders how can someone be so ignorant as to cancel the show at this time? But, a good news for Expanse fans is Amazon has picked it up for season 4 and one can clearly see why - it just can't stop here, it shouldn't. It won't!!

The show had introduced few mysterius side-characters in last 2 episodes, each one carrying out some secret destructive missions on their ships. This episode finally gave us an answer that it was all a set up to get Roci into The Ring. Electician lady blew up the UNN support ship while the cameraman guy on Roci replace a chip to telecast a fake Holden video. Miller was giving clues to Holden all along to escape UNN attacks.

Wow, what a multi-layered story with interesting subplots that come all together to take your breath away. While it solves one minor mystery, it creates new one; which is a trait of any awesome show. The Roci apparently survived the Ring entrance because Holden applied Miller's suggestion i.e. 'don't enter the door too fast' (something like this).

Now we know they are on other side of ring. So the ring was an arrificially created wormhole? Or it is something else? Was protomolecule an alien intelligent substance all along? Is Miller even a real human now? What is his purpose and what the hell does he need Roci for? What would they see in the ring now? So many questions and so much waiting.

I wasn't on edge of my seat, I was standing for last 20 mins. Haven't felt this much amazement since long time. Kudos to the entire Expanse team. It shows how hard they work on every aspect of production - from script writing to special effects and execution. Can't wait for the next!!

Picked up the pace once again

This episode can be seen as an extension to Delta-V and has answered all the questions while moving the main story forward.

Just watch it.

Encounter with the Surreal
Hitchcoc19 January 2020
I remember seeing "Solaris," the Russian version. There are elements of the thinking of that monumental piece of work in this episode. We have the appearance of what appear to be ghosts. We have a "living" entity, or so it would seem, which appears to be inanimate. That entity is messing with the minds of the crews of various ships. We have saboteurs working their unconscious magic, especially a young woman. We have a cliffhanger ending. What's next.

Another great episode!

I wanted to second the person that also read the books and was on edge of seat. The TV series diverges enough from books to make nothing guaranteed. Can't wait for next episode!

Would they really let some strangers free roam the ship? Ridiculous. So tired of these fake messages turning friends to foes and so on... Could see it coming for for miles.
