This season is strange, if you take a step back from being a fan of the show then you see that almost nothing has happened.
From the start where the crew find a landing spot with a gangway exactly the correct height for the terrain! And it happens to be close to the settlement, but far enough away to be a pain to get to in an emergency.
Why don't one of the factions on New Terra bugger off a few miles away to stop the arguing? It's a big place after all. And why are they stopping people from exploring anyway? No real explanation why the loss of a few miners is such a big deal in the scheme of things. Surely the population of the Solar system is in the tens of billions?
The Earth election is just a hard nosed politician against an SJW. Nothing to see there.
The story on Mars is just a morality fairy tale put in there to give Bobby something to do in the show.
Don't get me wrong I still love the show and have rated most episodes 7+, but this isn't the Expanse I was looking forward too. Maybe I will just read the books instead.
