Yes! They recognized Souther immediately! And the exchange between Amos and Avasarala about wearing pumps always makes me laugh.

People like Errinwright are ride or die when it comes to their ideology, which eventually leads to self preservation at all costs. I love the way the writers contrast him with Chrisjen, who is capable of becoming a better person by examining the consequences of her own actions, good and bad.

The Secretary-General is ultimately responsible, but Errinwright made the decision to have the railguns warmed up before even presenting the plan. He knew the Secretary-General is a malleable tool, but underestimated the amount of convincing it would take for the Sec-Gen to risk millions of lives. So, the fact that the railguns had to be powered down the first time is really on Errinwright.

Great reaction guys! Just a request, I'm not sure if anyone else has already made it, but please can you guys watch episode 5 and 6 together? It is another one of those double episodes that really should be seen together, as episode 6 is another mini-finale.

Errinwright is a super snake, but regardless it IS ultimately the fault of the other guy (sry forgot his name) for being a horrible leader and being wishy washy. The railgun malfunctioned because he couldn't make a decision. If he just stayed firm on his first no with 82% not being good enough...this wouldn't have happened. Any kind of military operation, especially one with that much importance, has to be clear and intentional.

Loved the meeting of all the characters! MVP: AVASARALA Errinwright becoming the sneakiest snake of them all!

They’re wearing the same clothes as in the recent Walking Dead reaction. If Avasarala had died here combined with what happened on TWD I think S&P would have gone mad!! 🤣

This is one of my favorite episodes simply for the interactions between the Roci crew and Bobbie and Avasarala. I just love seeing all the storylines come together so beautifully! And all the best characters interacting! When I first watched this, I was hyped for Bobbie and Amos interacting and for Holden and Avasarala, but my favorite I think is the Amos and Avasarala one. I’m so glad yall recognized and remembered Souther! A lot of reactors forget about him or don’t recognize him. He is a good one. And Nguyen very much is a sneaky snake. It’s all ramping up now!! Can’t wait for the next ones!

RIP all those people.

I enjoyed this episode and your reactions. I was surprised Mao told Strickland to back off with using the children. Errinwright is a super, sneaky snake. I still don't know what he thought he would accomplish fighting Mars. Control, power, fame, riches...total rubbish. Earth controlling the protomolecule would not go well in Mao's, Nguyen's and Errinwright's hands. So glad Chrisjen knows the truth and has proof.

The scene leading up to Mar's planet buster impacting Earth is so tense, damn! Can you imagine being responsible, directly, for that many souls severed from this mortal coil? Pure horror. Holden still wants to be a knight, but I think at this point he values and wants to protect his crew more than anything else, and orient towards a more grounded mission, like Naomi did back on Ganymede, saving those refugees. Now his focused mission is all on saving Prax's daughter.

I think this is non-spoilery to confirm, but yes the crew of the Arboghast are dead 😭 When the protomolecue disassembled their ship they were deep in Venus's atmosphere, briefly they would have had a bubble of earth air around them, but that would have dissipated fairly quickly exposing them to Venus atmosphere - 100c+ - High pressure - Sulfuric Acid moisture One would hope it was quick.
