I love your comparison of Julie and Holden and their similarities of their upbringing and very strong moral compass and empathy. I feel like most people don't pick up on that.

Just brace yourself because the unique aspects of it are just going to continue to blow your mind, catch you by surprise, and leave your jaw dropped! Finally caught up tonight so looking forward to seeing you watch episodes 9 & 10!!!

I watched the first half of season 1 back when released, and then abandoned the show. Years later, after the show became popular with consistent critical acclaim, I decided to give the show another try and became hooked and binged. I think it help me to watch the first half of season 1 a second time.

2024-01-24 04:07:22 +0000 UTCI think I should probably say now that there are some episodes the fandom recommends to aim to watch together—you'll catch some of them going by the double-watching method that you are already on, but then the numbers shift. Season 1 episodes 9 and 10 you'll naturally catch, same with season 2 episodes 1 and 2 (these two pairs were both double-drops when aired on TV, each pair aired together on a shared night). Season 2 episodes 4 & 5 are highly recommended to be watched together amongst the fandom (which would obviously end up split if you continue watching in even pairs), albeit weren't actually aired together. You'll understand why when you watch them. Similar can be said for season 2 episodes 12 & 13, which if you adjust for 4 & 5, you'll catch without having to readjust. Since season 2 has an odd number of episodes, you'll be back on track to catch season 3 episodes 5 & 6 together without having to readjust. Then finally you would have to make an adjustment for season 3 episodes 12 & 13, which was another on-air double-drop. After this, the show becomes even-numbered in terms of episodes per season, and this keeps you neatly on track for the rest of the show, IIRC. The reason for the weird mid-season episodes is that the books the show is based on don't end alongside the seasons for the first few seasons. Book 1 ends part way into season 2, books 2 part way into season 3. The episodes in question oddly serve as book plot finales even though they're each like a third into their respective seasons.

Well technically he was recruited by the UN, what Kenzo said earlier was partly true, he was a corporate spy who spied on other corporations. He was spying on the Tycho Corporation and Fred Johnson and then he was hired to spy on Holden and crew by the UN. That scene where Chrisjen Avasarala blackmailed that one guy at the aquarium, Kenzo worked for that guy. Chrisjen blackmailed his boss, so the spy would work for the UN. Anyway, loving these double drops, and I'm glad you're getting into it. Season one is often regarded as the weakest season, it picks up from here.

2024-01-10 03:21:13 +0000 UTCAmos would be the first one to say you shouldn't envy him. Though he's one of the best characters in SciFi in a lot of ways, great writing and acting included. The characters are almost all very complex. They all have layers of motivations and priorities... even their own idea of their own flaws and regrets. Taking some time to get really pulled into the Expanse is almost universal. It has to spend a lot of time on world building to start, and it really is an almost entirely unique kind of show. So you're in great company. It blends political games on a grand scale with very personal relationships and motivations while using the distance that sci-fi can give to ask the audience to think about uncomfortable (and very real) issues with no clean answer and a cost for any choice. The show also has probably my favorite portrayal of a genuinely religious person (in a later season), a Pastor at that, who actually lives up to what she claims to believe in while still being a complex, flawed person. There is a reason that reacting to it tends to be noticed by its very enthusiastic (and friendly) fanbase, so I hope you see the interest in your channel here and on YouTube that I've seen other channels get from it. You deserve it, enjoying seeing your perspective and already looking forward to insights on many moments through the show!
