The Expanse - Drummer Boards The Pella

In my humble opinion, possibly the best scene aboard The Pella in Season 5. Drummer, Josep & Oksana board Marco Inaros' command ship.

I've had to chop this sequence about a bit to get it past copyright. Unfortunately the full length from detection of Marco's ships, to Drummer leaving his 'war room' was a good minute and a half past the limit. So something had to go.
I wanted to keep the detection of Marco's command fleet in so, regrettably the clip at the airlock and walk to the lift was out. It was one or the other, I hope you agree with the final edit as it meant I was able to keep the complete sequence between Drummer & Marco.

"Is it over? I must have missed the inners offer of surrender."

That line is gold.

[donpdonp]

"We were already at war with the inners. You just couldnt see it because they were killing us slow." damn, thats great writing.

[ptonpc]

I noticed in this season, whenever anyone had news they knew Drummer wouldn't like, they asked for her gun first. Makes you think she's got a reputation.

[sirkl]

Keon's delivery of "Drummer!...and associates..." is a great example of minor, seemingly inconsequential dialogue, that is delivered in such a way that it conveys so much more then it has any right to.

A+++

[LucianoCheng]

"No throne?" 😂 God the writing is exquisite. Immediately disarming but also a slight. Sets the tone to her terms.

[Frenki]

Love the look of surprise when they see that Marco's fleet is made of Martian warships.

[FreemanicParacusia]

Achilles’ heel. Marco never really gave a crap about logistics. Like Alexander, he’s a prolific conqueror who doesn’t know how to consolidate his holdings.

[therogueprince]

It’s really hard to take this scene seriously anymore knowing Cara Gee was hitting Keon with her baby bump to throw him off. Lol

[Damodred_Heiress]

I love that Drummer knows who Filip is the moment she sees him.

[sparkequinox]

The back and forth between them was spectacular.

[davtona]

Drummer was without a doubt my favourite character in the whole series!

[asaschuemann]

I love that look of horror on the faces of Drummer's crewmates when they see that what they'd thought was a Martian patrol bearing down on them is actually Marco's private navy. The simple idea of government-produced, military warships being in private hands is played up as the main thing that makes Marco's faction dangerous, and I love how the Expanse does things like this, making simple stuff seem impactful rather than try to wow the pants off fans with a "gimmick of the week" approach.

Drummer is the real leader of Belter independence. Inaros is just a bloodthirsty megalomaniac.

[KOOLURATOOLGaming]

You can never say that The Expanse is not unique.

[NWAWskeptic]

One detail about this show I always really liked is showing the ships having to turn around and use thrust to slow down and stop. Instead of magic space physics

[RNCHFND]

Cara Gee just said in an interview that she was super pregnant in this scene and they had to VFX everything out

[danskkr]

Drummer was cool af. But the one thing she never noted before she made 'peace' with inners.. It was Marco who made a deal with the inners first.

[jeric_synergy]

Drummer always looks like she's about to kill someone. Which, come to think of it....

[UlfHansen]

Drummer just naturally excretes authority, like an athlete excretes sweat on a hot summer run. She IS the Belt. Inaros might have sweet talked most of the Belt into thinking he's their leader. But Drummer is, and always were, just by being Drummer. Cara just delivers godlike performance in this role.

[shaneconnor]

this scene epitomises why I liked and admired Drummer from first sight and why I could. never accept Marco as a credible character, much less a war leader.
