That was such a wonderful scene and I can't wait until the next time the two come face to face. 'I think that under that ridiculous hat, there's a Belter yearning to find his way home' Dawes told Miller. I found myself clinging on to their every word. It was a real pleasure watching the exchange between Thomas Jane and Jared Harris for example. So, who the hell is behind all this then? With Mars in the clear, we've got to wonder if the OPA is innocent as well. You could just tell he is going to play a pivotal role moving forward. It was brilliant meeting Anderson Dawes (Jared Harris from Fringe). This installment helped us understand their point of view much better. It was just a matter of time before the Belters had had enough. Anyway, Holden's broadcast caused quite a stir on Ceres, eventually leading to a major riot. Personally, I don't find those moments boring in the least. All these details help flesh out our characters. Alex later informed Holden he served and was honorably discharged. We were told about his dishonorable discharge. It was a cruel to be called 'a tax break,' but I'm really curious to meet his family now. We learned he had 5 fathers and 3 mothers (full genetic mix), and came from money. We can only hope mankind is as evolved in this regard in two hundred years, though there will always be class struggles and war. The writers are painting a pretty realistic picture of the world, which I think genre fans can appreciate. Of course, Avasarala played him beautifully to get the information she required, yet she's one of the good guys. It was terrific meeting Franklin Degraff, the UN Ambassador to Mars, and learning very nonchalantly about his husband. Not only do I love the strong female characters on this series, but the diversity overall is phenomenal. You know, the one Mars used to kill the Canterbury. Miller: Well, you crewed her up on a ship called the Scopuli. Parents want her found.Дawes: She any relation to Jules-Pierre Mao? She's something else, isn't she?Дawes: This isn't your beat. Speaking of which, thankfully Avasarala was given more to do. Again, this helped us get to know our heroes. Throughout their ordeal, we learned what each person was made of. It was clear the MCRN's goal was to get the survivors to turn on one another. That's the kind of thing that divides crewmates. Meanwhile, Holden's crew was locked up, but Martian-born Alex was shown preferential treatment. If I were Miller, I'd probably continue digging as well. His Captain seemed to lose interest in Julie's case rather quickly.

Miller made the connection between Julie Mao, the Scopuli and Holden. I was surprised an actor like Jay Hernandez was only around for 3 episodes. They get us to like him, only to kill the dude off dramatically. Unfortunately, I wasn't surprised by his impaling in the final moments of the installment. Havlock taking those 'Belter' lessons showed us what a great guy he was.
