#The expanse season 5 episode 3 recap plus
This all becomes irrelevant when Marco’s men assassinate him, steal the sample and head off into space, leading to a chase from Holden and Johnson’s right hand man Carlos Baca (José Zúñiga), plus reporter Monica Stuart (Anna Hopkins), in the Rocinante. Coleman) on Tycho station, the two hitting it off despite different viewpoints, but that changes when our lead protagonist finds out that Johnson had hid away a sample of the Protomolecule that he believed was finally wiped out. The James Holden (Steven Strait) side of the story had some good moments too. I’m sure it was the same reading the chapters in the book, but probably lost its impact had you read it beforehand! Marco manages to convince Filip that Naomi had abandoned him again and that she clearly doesn’t care for him, and now it seems the two are on the same page as they lead the “Free Navy” to take the Ring and have dominion over the countless worlds beyond the ring-gates… The Martian duo of Alex (Cas Anvar) and Bobbie (Frankie Adams) eventually rescue her right at the end, but not before some skilfully pulled off “all is lost” scenes where you do wonder for just a second if maybe… then no. Scene after scene of her trying different methods to accomplish one or the other with absolutely zero dialogue is great and pulled off with skill. This is where Dominique Tipper really comes into her own and she spends hours and hours alone and in great pain on her ship, unable to deactivate the explosives and equally unable to stop her friends from trying to rescue her. Inaros eventually sets Naomi’s ship into space rigged to blow with a false message from Naomi for help, but she manages to jump across open space to climb on board. Filip goes back and forth between wanting to reconnect with his mother and not wanting to disappoint his father, and it’s all played so well. For the sake of his son he allows Naomi to walk freely, but all that does is give her a chance to help her allies on the Rocinante and nearly kill her ex-husband. Naomi tracks her son down but is devastated to know he’s now got the blood of millions of innocents on his hands, and is soon kept captive on Inaros’ capital ship. The scenes of the devastation and how people respond to it is gripping stuff, and the dynamic of Marco pushing his son to join him on this murderous quest while he is more interested in seeing his mother again is a good story. The biggest and most interesting moments of the season happens due to Marco Inaros and his Belter group launching stealth asteroids at Earth, with three hitting their targets on the planet and killing countless millions. That being said there were some great moments, mostly revolving around Naomi (Dominique Tipper), her son Filip (Jasai Chase Owens) and his father Marco (Keon Alexander). Spliting the crew up and looking at their backstory is a good idea for a brief reprieve, but it lasting the whole season (and presumably the whole book) was a bit much. “I don’t care if you want to hang out with friends, you’re killing millions of people with me tonight!” “Ohhhh Daaaaaaad…”
