season 4 discussion for those seen eps 1 to 6.
I guess one disadvantage of Amazons awesome "here's the whole series - watch at your own pace" policy is that weekly discussion of latest events is out of the window ...
So i was about to flick through last ep of s3 to recap , when i noticed s3 has its own "recap of s2 video" - and so does the new season it turns out , presented by Kevin Smith no less! very helpful.
So we start S4 with this ring thing and 1300 new solar systems to explore!
Finally the belters can get out from under the boot of the UN and Mars ...
but no , apparently 1300 solar systems and god knows how many planets isnt enough to throw the Belters a bone.
The Belters have procured a barren rock to live on , so an extremely well armed team of geologists pop along to check out how its going ... and make sure they are .. er , ok ?
..and possibly steal all their shit and send them home.
Whats all this bullshit about "oh we dont want a gold rush scenario" people might hurt themselves. Who the hell do the UN lady think she is ?
they arnt her solar systems!
anyhoo so all that leads to the "tensions" on the barren rock culminating in Holden punching Captain Psycho and saying "Your not in charge anymore!"
Finally! i thought ...
execpt not much changed and and he was pretty much still in charge.
Then the shit really hits the fan!
The planet start fighting them back...
-earthquake
- shockwave
- Tsunami
so far so good - thats the easy bit and they decide to hide in a leaky hole in the ground.
- Water not subsiding much
- Then the planet decides to cripple their rides home by changing the laws of physics - no obvious plan springs to mind to combat that.
- to cap it all they start going rapidly blind
- and their hole is invested with alien leeches.
"They are in some deep shit" i thought.
