Well I never thought I would say this, but thank goodness for radiation poisoning! I was sure Holden was immune because of his Miller alien ghost connection, but I like that it was actually something more mundane. Well, as mundane as taking anti cancer shots because of that time you got drenched in radiation while trying to save the universe can be. 

Oh Amos, his meltdown was really hard to watch, especially when he wandered into the death slug area, clearly totally out of it, and Holden was rather frantically trying to get him to come back, and then when Holden was begging him to hold it together and saying how he couldn't do this without him, oh you guys! One good thing that came out of being trapped on this awful death world, it has at least led to some nice Holden and Amos bonding, even if its under terrible circumstances. They sure have come a long way from season one where Amos was casually telling Holden that he was trying to come up with reasons not to kill him and Holden was thinking about kicking him off the ship because he could be so unpredictable. Damn, whatever Amos was flashing back to when he lost his sight was just....brrrr. The tidbits of Amos's backstory we get only really come in two flavors: Kind of funny and quirky, and utterly horrifying, especially in what is being said between the lines.

We get a glimpse behind the magic by seeing Chrisjens wardrobe closet, and its all that I dreamed it would be! Everything that Chrisjen wears is instantly iconic, but the gold and black outfit she wore to the memorial is definitely in her top five outfits. While she certainly was playing politics with her speech (even playing the dead son card) I do think that she meant most of it on some level, especially the parts with her son. And while her releasing the footage of the massive clusterfuck that is New Terra was questionable in its legality, people should know what they are getting into when it comes to exploring new worlds (death slugs!!) willy nilly. I get wanting to explore these new worlds, but people should be aware that there are risks, and that the Garden of Eden might not necessarily be waiting for them. 

So Bobbies crime boss actually has a family, and can be a pretty reasonable guy, when he isnt kidnapping teens. Come on dude, we meet your nice family? This is your last job before you leave the criminal life behind? Bobbie is saying she has a bad feeling about this? You are seriously living dangerously here! It really is sad seeing Mars falling apart like this, they have really lost their purpose as a nation and a culture, while the new planets is an amazing opportunity for a new life for many Earthers and Belters, for Martians, it could mean the end of their dream that they built their lives around. Bobbie, I know your going through a lot, but dont take it out on your cute boyfriend! 

 Chad L. Coleman finally returns! However, his return leads to the (at least temporary) end of the Drummer and Ashford partnership, and I was really sad to see them go their separate ways, I have so enjoyed them together! I could get both of their points, that Drummer is afraid that they will become just another imperial power, hurting others in the name of self interest, and Ashford thinks that they need to play the game if they want to secure a future for their people. It made me wonder what an Ashford and Chrisjen conversation would be like, they seem to be sort of operation on the same wavelength this season, despite their many differences. But first, Ashford really wants to see Marcos smug pretty face floating outside without a helmet! That last bit where Drummer looked sadly back at Ashford makes me think that she is thinks this is the last time she will see him, and that just makes me way too sad! 

Oh crap, Miller is on the fritz! Have you tried turning him off and on again, Holden?
