Great reactions as always!!! “They don’t have a boat or Star Trek technology” 🤣🤣🤣 Why is everyone blaming Holden??? Imagine for the Belters for 8 months you been chillin on this planet with zero problems and then here comes Holden and his imaginary friend who admits to started flicking switches and things started happening. The correlation would lead to one conclusion; you and whatever the hell you did. As far as Murtry’s very active villainous arc...it’s why we book readers hated the book. Imagine being in this guys head for endless chapters. During this erratic time in the plot he def got more nuanced when you realized he was practically a suicidal crusader for the cooperate line but in the show he’s simply a Belter racist intent to get his which is simplifying it for the show length. Bobbie’s arc is from a novella Gods of Risk. I totally get so many feeling as if Bobbie’s arc doesn’t sense but in all reality it most the most sense. The best way analogy I can use is Vietnam vets coming come from the war. You’re disillusioned with your country of whom you’re the ultimate patriot and would continue to sacrifice for because that honor is ingrained into you. But you come home and there’s massive unemployment for your comrades, you’re harassed, not allowed to speak out against your government...eventually it takes its toll especially when the system you believe is no longer that system. Your arc speaks yo the MANY on Mars. Recall collectively they have to terraform as a planet so in war they equally had to do so so many of the planets residents are vets. That someone we know is good and a patriot could so easily get brought to a desperate situation illustrates much larger political and psychological conflict to the planet as a whole. Breaking Bobbie isn’t just about her being a criminal...it’s about the circumstances in which criminality becomes a part of life for survival. Very much like the Belters which is not so surprising they are making bedfellows right now. But for what purpose? What do you do on a dying planet where just as before when the brightest and best left Earth to go to Mars; the same happens without the dream never accomplished? It’s a deeply philosophical cultural appropriation identity crisis of the entire planet with Bobbie showing a familiar face to that. And I hate to burst ya bubbles but Bobby wouldn’t join the Roci as this point in her life as they are ok 2 separate paths. Bobbie came home for court martial then civilian life back to doing her part for Mars as she’s still committed whereas Holden and crew are a transport haul ship constantly in space recently opted for a diplomacy mission for EARTH. Ya know that place Martians are at peace with but still shunning her for her actions for. You say what she’s doing isn’t Bobbie; true but it’s still Martian and in the namesake of mars plus keep in mind weapons are not involved so we’re talking the equivalent of smuggling out equipment the UN has to Belters who don’t have it. At this junction no one is getting hurt. Lastly, Christjen Marie Avasarala still allows for Black Sites...you know S1 Episode 1, for Belter interrogation. Even Errinwright pointed out that was illegal. And why didn’t she call Drummer and Ashford; the OPA leads right now?!?!?! They all can’t be landed at your feet sis. Honestly this season was made better by these insightful arcs no matter how it puts our ladies in an unfavorable light as it’s based on the flaws as well as the heroics of both women which is something we still struggle with song on television is WOC being so one note rather than complex people with struggles, failings and unimaginable bravery and strength.

Loved The Reaction Guys, And Is It Me Or Christjen Keeps Getting Outsmarted In This Season, I Remember In Previous Seasons She Was Always Two Steps Ahead Of Everyone. Also Those Slugs Are Disgusting But It's A Very Clever Idea To Put Them In A Such A Tight Space While Everyone Is Slowly Loosing Their Eye-sight. Can't Wait For The Next Episode.
