get ready for Season 5 it's a rollercoaster ride

I'd like to see him hold a conversation with Dr. Walter Bishop. 😉

I hated him at first, but he became one of my favorites. Brilliant writing and a fantastic actor to bring it to life.

Show!Ashford from the perspective of someone who read the book: "Tragic: the worst person you know just made a great point."

It's so weird, I'm currently reading the third book, and Ashford is such a two-dimensional, unlikeable villain, totally different from the show.

@@szeltovivarsydroxan9944 Ashford is one of the best book-to-show improvements I've seen in any adaption. They took a cartoonishly inept villain and made him into one of the most beloved characters on the show.

Loved that he saw the real cost of Marco's violent path despite his own legendary piracy; too bad Miller never told him to see the doors and corners.

@@delprie 😫

Ehh they both had ideas that each other could somewhat see a small outcome of it. In the end Marcos methods cause everyone to start to take the belters serious, real respect. Ashford could only see the death toll but not the end end picture. If you guyshaven’t watched season 5 yet. With Ashford and drummers method they still would be struggling with gaining respect and the fact that earth n somewhat Mars still wasn’t taking the belters serious. All they saw were hobos in a make believe barge playing navy.

​@@Audi2Gunz I've seen season 5 but please don't post spoilers like that; do you seriously believe attempted or successful genocide earns respect? And, without S5 spoilers, there's a difference between taking a threat seriously and taking a group of people seriously. Wouldn't Earth want revenge and apply it to any Belters not just Marco's faction? Wouldn't the efforts of any Earther wishing to secure peace and make amends for years of exploitation now face more severe obstacles within their own systems of power? The Belters would still be viewed as hobos in a make believe barge playing navy (lol, spot on Cyborg) but now they are dangerous war criminals.

@@delprie I supoose more recognition then respect. He was only a notorious pirate freedom fighter before that. And if earthers want revenge and confront the first belters they see then those belters will have a choice to make about what kind of belter they wanna be. A peace belter(forgive and forget) or a hateful belter and rally to Marcos side. But after all those Mars side dealings I’m sure they will no longer be poor hobos on a derelict ship, nooo, They will be free men and freeeedooom!! Yeah idk pirates was playing wen I did this comment. But with out spoilers I can’t really say much more. My new watcher already figured out the plot and I didn’t start season 5 for em yet. I dread season 5, only the son and mother part, that damn kid is such a cry baby. Oooh I want a loving mommy but I can’t see that my dad is a freaking psycho like my moms been telling me.

People like you are the reason they don’t look at our comments anymore

She also discussed her fear of people who throw rocks, when lying on the roof with her grandson.

Holy cow! I always thought that that the belter torture stuff was basically a dropped storyline or something, since it didn't seem to go anywhere in the first seasons.

The stealth compounds were about the protogen ships, but the comment about throwing rocks were definitely about the next season.

yes, that was the protogen ships, the stealth paint inaros used was being bought directly from mars from corrupt officials. the same way he gets a bunch of high tech ships later.

Yes the Protomolecule was a worthy distraction, but this show lays deep seeds and never forgets.

Keon Alexander is absolutely amazing, he is so good as Marco. Jasai as Filip is also amazing, he looks just like a kid Keon and Dominique would have.

@@BlackHawkBallistic Yea, he does look like their son in real life.

He’s so handsome that he disarms me a bit which I guess is what happened to Naomi 😅

And, also in season 1, Avasarala questioned a belter who was carrying stealth tech, which most people assumed was to do with the stealth ships, but he was really working for Marco

Rewatching multiple times reveals just how many clues there are in the first series, practically every scene is connected to the bigger picture in one way or another. Extremely clever writing.

@@0hMax Also when uncle Mateo and Diogo get harrashed by the Martian patrol , when they acuse them of destroying the Donnager Mateo says "and how would we done that? throwing rocks at it?" . Now skip to the battle of the ring when a Donnager class gets nearly destroyed by rocks thrown at her from something/somewhere that 4 episodes later is identified in a display Marco is looking as "MATEO"

The show is absolutely amazing, the books are even better. I can't believe that there are nine books that started from a couple friends playing a DnD style game.

That's what happens when you give the casting director a time machine to set up Dominique Tipper and Keon Alexander years ago.

Supposedly, David Stratharin had so much fun playing Ashford he asked if they could use him after season 3. So glad they brought him back. I also forgot that he played the guy who put together the Womens Baseball League in "A League of Thier Own". But I still remembered him from Alphas and Bourne Supremecy or Ultimatium... I get those mixed up.

@@artboymoy Ultimatum. And yeah, Alpha and The Bourne Ultimatum is what I primarily know him from, too

Avoiding spoilers, he was hoping to glean information on Marco's plan even at the cost of his own life. Killing Marco won't stop any of his plans that are in motion.

@@vorpalrobot there’s that too, but I think Klaes correctly read the shadow plays to know that killing Marco would derail all his plans… surrendering to Marco was an emotional decision to me, not a strategic one; that said, the contingency of recording Inaros monologuing was clearly a strategic backup Klaes opted for in account of his emotional inability to put Marco down

Hope season 6 doesn't come for at least 10 weeks

hell yeah!

She's pretty cute. I ike her style.

It kind of had to. Sadly.

All I can say to those that haven't is hold on to your butts.

I doubt it was unintentional. Using iron asteroids as weapons was a very obvious option.

@@Yesquire0 if you say so my friend

At episode per week they should finish S5 by early december.. wich coincidentally is nearly when S6 should begin

I loved how Avasarala described the true nature of just about every political debate: all sides are merely engaging in goofy speculation about what the future may bring and how one policy or the other might influence events. You can fight to get your policy enacted, but there is no reason to hate the people on the other side. If you lose, you can still think you are right, and you can still hope that the policy to be implemented by the winner will not be a disaster. Avasarala never had a chance in an election where the primary issue was keeping the blockade on the ring hub in place or opening the hub for people to emigrate to new systems and have a chance at a real life off of Basic. We don't know at this point in the ongoing story if Avasarala was right to insist on keeping the blockade in place until all the new systems could be fully studied as to any remaining blue goo threat, or, for that matter, and other weird shit still hanging around after a couple of billion years, but I think we will find out.

You're right, and I've had to mull over why this is the case. The first hubby was small in stature, with a small and kindly voice. He was very believable as a husband who was willing to play second fiddle to his brilliant and ruthless wife. The second guy presented himself as a Alpha male who would never have lasted very long as the subservient husband, and his character simply doesn't right true.

Yup

Because her position is "This protomolecule stuff is dangerous and we need to properly investigate it before we send millions of hornet-nest-kicking people through the Ring" and the New Terra plotline is all about the swarms of of hornets in these nests humanity is about to kick.

@@Reedstilt LOL the only ones who are not already in a death spiral are the super elite on Earth. Everybody else is just looking for an opportunity to have a chance to survive, or die, on there own terms.

They will release dub squid game from Tuesday.

Um opinions. So if someone compare it, there is nothing wrong with that
