Btw at this point in the story, and for a while now, the entire Roci crew are very famous across the solar system. So that's why Ashford knows so much about Naomi.
Yeah, she's underestimating how connected this setting is. These people have basically saved the system from destruction twice and people know about it. That's going to be a thing.
@@MattNolanCustom Damper's corresponding verb is dampen, which means to deaden, restrain, or depress. Of course, dampen also means to make slightly wet. A dampener is someone or something that dampens.
@@Ugnutz a damper is something that damps motion or sound vibrations. A dampener is something that makes things damp or moist. I have no idea what a damperner is.
@@MattNolanCustom I was typing that late at night there is an extra R in it and Dampener is what i was trying to type and the most common place i've seen the concept of Inertial Dampeners used is star trek and they use both terms Inertial Dampers and Inertial Dampeners, and Dampen is the Verb that is used to also mean to make damp or moist Dampener is a Noun.
Yup everything up to here is the set up and now the real story begins. I love when reactors get here and the show really gets going. They all think it’s intense before now but now it really begins.
Great reaction Meg! This episode has always felt like a new season to me. So glad you skipped the intro! The surprise look and reaction you had was priceless! Ahh the introduction of Ashford! Can't wait for you to experience the dynamic between him and Drummer! Looking forward to the next one!
Amos said Martians are petty, and he's right. Really right. With only a few exceptions, Martians are very, very petty. You spoke about hair. In the novels, Naomi was an introvert who had long hair that she hid behind in times of stress. They wisely removed that quirk (there are also reasons for not creating a negative issue over a black woman's hair). But they still gave it a nod by having Naomi change her hairstyle from book to book in the series. You don't know much about Ashford right now, except that he has a long history as a pirate...but remember that good pirates are heroes among Belters.
Hah, watched more than a few reactions to 'The Expanse' and I think that's my favourite response to you-know-who's return so far :). Lots of interesting speculations too.
Of course, the pimple becomes a ring, and then a Belter shows up slingshotting around Jupiter like a hot rodder. This is a good ep. Love knows know boundries!
I think you should take some time to consider Avaserala's words from the opening of the episode: "... For we have arrived at the dawn of a new era, and are witness to an event unlike anything in the history of our species."
Ashford shouldn't have cut off drummers speech but I get why he did. drummer would have said that anyone caught dealing would get spaced but as ashford said the belt needs to look more fair and civilized so he preemptively cut her off and said that anyone caught dealing will get court-martialed and thrown into prison.
@@shmayleb Thanks for the info, Caleb. I appreciate reactors releasing more content, around this time. Everyone in my household enjoy's good content from reactors. From my household to yours, have a happy Thanksgiving. 🥂☮️
Halos were borrowed by Christianity from the Ancient Egyptian gods (they are Suns, not rings, originally). Maybe Chrisjen is really secretly in league with Protogen and all their Egyptian deity named ships and stations... 😉😇
It's probably not code switching and more local accent reinforcement, much like when I travel home for a month I come back with my native accent stronger.
I mean, to me it _spoils_ the return of a particular actor. "Wait'll you see what happens !" is a tease. "X is back in this episode !" is clearly a spoiler IMO.
Strickland or something, Amos just a man, Prax is a father. Don't read too much into a soldier doing the right thing. "I am that guy" means, gosh, did you know you're a sociopath? and might lead to gunshots to the head, but it's not serious, and Jules Mao Pierre and Errinwright can fix it all with money and guns!
Wait--she's NOT supposed to put a bomb there!?! Darn it... So easy to confuse "places to put bombs" with "places to not put bombs." Enjoyed the reaction as always. You've always got fun takes.
I know it’s oh so gross and it makes me sick to my stomach too, buuuut… I love that this show actually bothers to show you what happens when your ship just suddenly “stops” moving lol (I put stops in quotations cuz ur always moving relative to something) Maneo (the sling-shot racer) went from like 6km/s relative to the ring to 0km/s in an instant and, well… I guess the message here is don’t be jelly of someone who cheated on you bcs you could end up as *literal* jelly
i think the woman breaking up with that guy and the dude shes cheating with in that clip are the worst scum i have seen on this show. the betrayal, she gave no fcks haha i mean dude was naked in the break up video. i hope karma comes lookin for them, but i know it wont.
Is Holden having hallucinations when he sees Miller? No. He never saw Miller with that hat. In the wonderful way it tells its stories, The Expanse showed us the eerie voices emanating from Eros, then the Blue Goo constructing an arm and a hand for Miller while he was taking his pet nuke for a walk, then we see Julie in the form of a shiny electric blue Barbie Doll body, and, finally, we hear Miller answer Julie's question: "Maybe we die, maybe we don't die. That would be interesting". Yes, very interesting, indeed.
*MegMage* In season 1 episode 4, CQB, the Martians gave the Rocci to the crew as a gift. A gift that was supposed to get them to Mars. The Rocci wasn't stolen or salvaged. ☮️
Wrong. The Tachi was placed under the captaincy of Sgt. Lopez. There was no intent to gift the ship to the four prisoners under his wing. It remained a Martian ship. But when Lopez died, the prisoners then asserted ownership of the Tachi on the general idea that the ship was lost to the Martians and our hereos "found" it. It's not your typical salvage situation, which typically involves a derelict floating around in space with no live humans aboard. That is why the Martians don't recognize the salvage argument and filed suit to have the ship returned to them. The crew of the renamed Rocinante claim it is "legitimate salvage" in order to keep and use the ship for themelves. Lopez, if he had lived, would have insisted that Holden and his buddies take the Tachi to Mars. If he didn't know he was going to die, Lopez would never have given our hereos the command codes. It is a bit of a breach of promise for our hereos to decide not to go to Mars, but, then again, their status as sole survivors of the Canterbury and the Donnager would make keeping their promise to a bunch of dead Martians more than a little perilous.
So then I found our they cancelled Alex for well I don't give a fuck why they're bad people, but I said to Bobbie, you better damn well hug that Ngata this the second time she's jumped out a ship in that many days... And Alex was cancelled cultured, but Draper didn't fly there on the Razorback alone...
new react channel? BirdboxReactions ? maybe ive never actually watched birdboxbut isnt that just revese weeping angels like keep your eyes closed or you die instead of dont blink.

I am SO GLAD Thomas Jane's appearance wasn't spoiled for you. What a great moment.
Btw at this point in the story, and for a while now, the entire Roci crew are very famous across the solar system. So that's why Ashford knows so much about Naomi.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ashford knew about Marco and the Augustin Gamarra too, tbh
Yeah, she's underestimating how connected this setting is. These people have basically saved the system from destruction twice and people know about it. That's going to be a thing.
Had to skip to the end first, so worth it. You ain't ready for how much better this show is about to get.
In this episode I learned you cannot truly appreciate Celine Dion until you hear it in the original Belta 🙂.
26:16 the writers did a great job introducing Ashford in such a way as to keep us guessing about his motivations and allegiances.
"ME! Manéo! Jung! Espino--*SPLAT!* "
You're a superstar now, Manéo... 😂🤣😅😆🙃
Especially since they got it on video!
guy who plays Ashford is one of my favourites, also a very good secondary villain in Billions
That is what happens to a ship that instantly slows to zero without internal dampeners, it's crazy 😮
Inertial damperners.

The belter sling shot kid side story is probably my favorite prologue of all the books lol. Welcome to book 3!
now that you've finished the prologue, welcome to The Expanse proper.
Yup everything up to here is the set up and now the real story begins. I love when reactors get here and the show really gets going. They all think it’s intense before now but now it really begins.
I always like to remind them that it was originally canceled after the finale of S3 😂
Great reaction Meg!
This episode has always felt like a new season to me.
So glad you skipped the intro! The surprise look and reaction you had was priceless!
Ahh the introduction of Ashford! Can't wait for you to experience the dynamic between him and Drummer!
Looking forward to the next one!

Excuse me, I'm going to re-watch your reaction to "I am that guy."
The preacher (Susan Mitchell) paralleling Alex was a good observation.
*Elizabeth Mitchell
@@berlindude75 You're right--my bad.
Delta V means a change in velocity or speed what we saw with the pilot transiting the ring was the result of a sudden change in speed.
Or possibly a sudden change of state, from solid to liquid!
Great reaction MegMage. 🌹
Beltaloada language is mix of a few languages.
30:00 That question won't be answered until S4 E9. Anyone that tries to explain, will be spoiling you. ☮️
Fun fact: Maneo's girl is actually his cousin.... the books are a bit weird.
Loving watching your reactions!
I absolutely love your reactions!!
Ashford is the best kind of character that you will both love and hate.
That Fedora reaction... *chef's kiss* :)
Of course, the pimple becomes a ring, and then a Belter shows up slingshotting around Jupiter like a hot rodder. This is a good ep. Love knows know boundries!

9:19 peak relatability 😂
It gets wild and crazy from here on out and you thought it was crazy before.
ship usually travelling with 0.5g. so as long as there is a drive plume, you have gravity.
And now enters one of the best characters in a show with amazing characters…. Ashford and Drummer are THE duo!!
Ashford! One of my favourite characters!
Great reaction. Thanks for not watching the credits! (Yes, Thomas Jane's name appears there).
Ashford shouldn't have cut off drummers speech but I get why he did. drummer would have said that anyone caught dealing would get spaced but as ashford said the belt needs to look more fair and civilized so he preemptively cut her off and said that anyone caught dealing will get court-martialed and thrown into prison.
22:55 They use a spray bottle, with salt water. Before a camera angle change, they get spritzed.
Hey Meg great to see more of the Expanse and I hope you and Caleb
have a wonderful Thanksgiving this week and Thank You Meg.

Aren't they Canadians? 🇨🇦
Thanks Roger! You too!

It’s a pretty good callback to have Chrisjen framed in that halo, seeing as how her callsign is Archangel 😇
Halos were borrowed by Christianity from the Ancient Egyptian gods (they are Suns, not rings, originally). Maybe Chrisjen is really secretly in league with Protogen and all their Egyptian deity named ships and stations... 😉😇
the noises some recent reacters made to the end reveal has me CACKLING
Ashford lets goooooo.
cotier didn't die for Avasarala, he did for his brother in arms, charlemange or whatever thr frak Indian name.
28:55 This reaction is why the viewer needs to skip the intro. Better reaction if they don't know what's coming.
I love the Belters comms system. SHOWXATING. SHOW XA TING. Show The Thing. hehehehehe :)
It's probably not code switching and more local accent reinforcement, much like when I travel home for a month I come back with my native accent stronger.
Miller was dead, but he got better.
B5
"But what does that mean to a Protomolecule?"
I don't understand the "don't watch intro" thing. it's not a spoiler, it's a tease.
It spoils the ending. The reactor spends the episode looking for Miller, instead of being surprised.
The cast credit roll spoils that the actor is in the episode, so people prefer reactors skip the intro so they aren't expecting Miller to return.
I mean, to me it _spoils_ the return of a particular actor. "Wait'll you see what happens !" is a tease. "X is back in this episode !" is clearly a spoiler IMO.
I expected it to be a flashback. I think "flashback" would be the usual thought.
Yeah, some of the folks in this community can be a bit wild lol

WE LOVE MISTER THOMAS JANE FEDORA MAN
Is the protomolecule Mephisto?
Wait--she's NOT supposed to put a bomb there!?! Darn it... So easy to confuse "places to put bombs" with "places to not put bombs." Enjoyed the reaction as always. You've always got fun takes.

Mr Salsa and the Ring-a-Thing
I had no doubt, actually believe3d that Drummer would help, regardless of what Fred said. Who got the missile codes. Camina.
I know it’s oh so gross and it makes me sick to my stomach too, buuuut…
I love that this show actually bothers to show you what happens when your ship just suddenly “stops” moving lol (I put stops in quotations cuz ur always moving relative to something)
Maneo (the sling-shot racer) went from like 6km/s relative to the ring to 0km/s in an instant and, well…
I guess the message here is don’t be jelly of someone who cheated on you bcs you could end up as *literal* jelly
i think the woman breaking up with that guy and the dude shes cheating with in that clip are the worst scum i have seen on this show. the betrayal, she gave no fcks haha i mean dude was naked in the break up video. i hope karma comes lookin for them, but i know it wont.
The spoiler is the ship that missed Eros.
There already is a reactor that just listens: Tommy Edison! Well, he’s blind so he talks about how much he gets out of films, lol.
26:17 Trust yourself. Your first instinct is usually correct.
I was clenching my thighs and whistling Alex, does that make me an asshole?
Is Holden having hallucinations when he sees Miller? No. He never saw Miller with that hat.

Trilby, but yes. And the show, great as it is, keeps getting better.
Gotta admit, that scene between Amos and Monica was hut as f**k...
So then I found our they cancelled Alex for well I don't give a fuck why they're bad people, but I said to Bobbie, you better damn well hug that Ngata this the second time she's jumped out a ship in that many days...
