thank you for reminding me what a badass engineer Naomi is.... ladies who science are amazing.
Avasarala's new security duo is my favorite partneship of S2.
Erinwright is a dirty worm...and I don't trust anything about him. He would trade his own planet to save himself.... and he just poisoned the ambassador from Mars.
Naomi working to save as many people as she could and being saved in return, one of the most emotional scenes this season
Thank you Alex for overriding Holden and remembering your humanity.
That refugee crisis handling was indescribably beautiful. A bit idealized, but so darn beautiful.
This Dharma Initiative piece of shit
Man, Bobbie was totally killing it xD:
And the scene where Bobbie ate the food at Mau's ship was also killing me :) She's such a cool and interesting character!
I felt bad for Sadavir Errinwright but after the shit he pulled in the second half of this episode I hate him again.
The discipline of the Belters at the end was really impressive and the scene with Champa and Naomi really emotional! I also did not see Naomi sedating Amos coming... I wonder how he'll feel about that. I generally hope that we'll get a better insight into his emotions (since that boy was scared of him this got more difficult, IMO).
So much development we get in one episode. We get to see more of Avasarala with her two "aides". We get to see how Errinwright turns out to be still an ambitious, "ends justify the means", just right after he looked vulnerable earlier. There is a lot of pressure between them and Mao as well. We get to see Holden acts as righteous, grudge-filled captain. This is one of these times when I wished Miller was still alive to kick some sense to Holden - he's a good counter-balance.
There is a slight contrast here between Naomi and Holden: the Belter right to the core and the Earther who ends up as Belter survivor. If Dawes and Johnson fought for how they handle power, Naomi and Holden "fought" for how differently they see values in human's life. Holden dreams big and loves to play hero, but Naomi, a Belter since birth, knows the value of life on the ground. The refugee crisis on Ganymede Station is both emotional and powerful, as the big guy Champa touched his chest, gesturing a Belter's loyalty. It might be idealized as the other commenter has said, but it is the other extremes of previous episodes where a Belter would space out Martians out of hatred.
Save your ass as it is and at the expense of whoever

This was probably my favourite episode of the season and I'm now itching to watch the season finale. The refugees situation on the decaying station was as tense as it was emotional.
It seems to me this episode had the right balance of politics and action, I wish the rest of the show was this much balanced in that department (there's often too much politics involved, though I understand that's a matter of personal taste, but I like my sci-fi shows with less politics and more sci-fi).
