The correct answer to "How many cookies are in a dozen?" is "However many I god damned like."

[pamelahofman]

In case anyone is actually wondering, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" means don't start questioning or criticizing a gift. When someone is considering buying a horse, they examine it for health and vitality. Part of that exam is to check inside its mouth to check the state of its teeth, an indication of general health and age. When someone gifts you a horse, you don't insult the gift or judge it by checking it over to see how good it is. You just say thank you and appreciate the thing you otherwise wouldn't have gotten.

"Whatever happened to the big Mormon ship?" hahahaha...heh

Christjen is indeed great, isn’t she. Relatable characters are essential but is so good to have one to rely on, cunning as she is to figure out things in a semi-realistically way. It makes perfect sense as we know she’s pragmatic and skeptical of everyone.

The conversations on what is happening on Venus, maybe Julie have been receiving injections, conflict indeed creates unwilling victims... a well produced story indeed, that are interesting facets for all likes.
Hearing that Eric got chills made me happy, I’m glad you guys are enjoying this.

I don't know if any of the guys are Stargate fans, but the husband of the couple on the Somnambulist is Peter Williams, AKA Apophis!

[Scrapluv]

"Wherever I goddamn like" Classic

[garethneller]

"He's a botanist so its not like he has the skills for every situation"
*Matt Damon has left the chat

[TheLadyLuck]

LMAO This show is definitely born of an RPG campaign. "Your plans always this vague?" "It's about average" "That's your plan??"

[garethneller]

Avasarala is one of my favourite characters, book and show!

[mathewdelamere]

The weeping Sonambulist. Sonambulist means sleepwalker. At the beginning it carries only pain but later hope. Very symbolic

[franciscooctavius]

Avasarala MAKES this show as good as it is. Glad you all seem to be enjoying it! Can’t wait for you to get into s3 and beyond.

[MrEvers]

How many times do they have to kill Apophis before he stays dead...

[kampfkeks]

Man episode 12 is coming closer. I think it's my favourite episode of the show. Also Prax and Amos are so great and they work in great symbiosis. Love it

[szeltovivarsydroxan]

From here on out I started loving the show. This is also imo the best arc of the 5 seasons so far. Strap in for a *wild* ride!

[ODST_Viking]

Calvin confidently mispronouncing somnambulist is peak Calvin.

[AuspexAO]

I'm caught up with you guys now! It's an awesome show, and this and Berserk are my favorite reactions right now.

10:10 This is one of the reasons I enjoy The Expanse so much (& your reactions to it). As Eric said, it’s not some superhero SciFi. It is “more grounded.” Not just with the book series’ original authors & TV series writers James S.A. Corey (which is the nom de plum of two authors - Ty Franck & Daniel Abraham) attempt to be scientifically accurate, but with the emotional situations through the series. Also, their idea that the first extraterrestrial contact humans finally end up having isn’t with some little green men or some huge bug looking creature hell bent on killing everything, but instead an infectious molecule - hell bent on remaking everything, is uniquely refreshing. Even for the world of SciFi.

[thomasmain]

You can see the appeal of the proto molecule, its applications are endless, you could add it to any aspect of space exploration or exploitation and its a quantum jump forward. It's value is off the chart.

[TheRaventwilight]

Yes!! Sunday Expanse reaction time! I look forward to these every week guys. Keep it going! 👍🚀

[doctor]

Getting closer to 'that guy"!
