This is from Ty Frank, one of the writers of the books and the show, as well as a producer on the show, on the podcast Ty & Thank Guy (that he does with Wes Chatham, who plays Amos). In the scene when they arrive back to Tyco, the reason that Holden goes off on Miller is because Holden feels that with Miller killing Dresden meant that they nearly died for nothing, that the whole mission was a failure.

13:30 I'd argue that the montage is basically to show that they're each coping in their own way - this is the first real downtime they've had since they were on Eros. Holden tries to get answers, Alex tries to get better to redeem himself for what he sees as mistakes he made, Miller has to find his inner Belter and Naomi simply has to live as if there was no tomorrow. Amos iirc doesn't do anything in particular - as it doesn't really affect him as much as the others.

I don't think so. The Mormon was talking about lining the centrifugal drum section with literal soil for growing crops, raising livestock, and looking and feeling like home.

correct. YOu dont even have instantaneous conversations with Luna, given the distance: it's short, but still not like being next to someone. There's a notable time lag in signals received form the various probes on Mars in our day; and the issue everyone routinely forgets is that with Earth and Mars both orbiting the Sun at different speeds, the distance is CONSTANTLY CHANGING. The Donnager battle was long over by the time Earth got the imagery, as bad as it was.

ALL the scientists working for Protogen had their brains altered, not just Weird Guy. What you’re not seeing about the battle is the state of the crews of both the Stealth and the station. They were primarily dependent upon secrecy as their armor, not combat competence. Most of their “soldiers” died on the Doanger. What they had left were really not expecting nor ready for an attack by a Martian frigate. Onboard the station, they had a few guards who were acting as prism guards only, and also armed specifically with NON-lethal weapons. “Acolyte” (not Alcholyte…unless he’s a drunkard). 😭

@@ZakhadWOW Yes, after American physicist Gerard K. O'Neill. While a professor at Princeton in the 1970s, he did a series of engineering seminars in which students were told to design in specific detail space habitats, using the technology available at the time. Once the work was done, he and Princeton published all the research in the book, "The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space." It is a landmark work that has profoundly shaped thinking about how best to create ways for humans to live and work comfortably in space. The Nauvoo is designed after O'Neill's principles. The rotating drum provides artificial gravity equal to Earth's (more or less), which means all the micro-gravity problems don't exist. Also, if leakage from the life-support systems could be reduced to the barest minimum, thousands of people could live on the ship for decades, completely self-sufficiently. The vast central section becomes farmland, and people live in the decks underneath, with infrastructure and ship maintenance access beneath that. In the original idea, mirrors outside the ship would reflect sunlight in through huge windows in the hull, but with the ungawdly efficient fusion energy of this setting, they just power a broad-spectrum light-tube down the center of the cylinder that provides all the illumination needed by plants and animals, and can be controlled to emulate a day-night light cycle.

The Amos seeing through how to interrogate the guy is my favorite Amos scene, and that’s saying a lot. Definitely not his most famous scene. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is already being used, though it’s a bit murky as to how effective it is so far. What the doctor is talking about is absolutely possible, though - noninvasive brain surgery is currently done now more with radiation than magnets but that’s nothing new, and breaking parts of the brain is well understood since the days of Phineas Gage (easily googled) and prefrontal lobotomies.

There's no court where Dresden could have been put on trial, even "cops" are really just corporate mercenaries with star on their chest.

In modern day, the Mormons already possess an obscene amount of wealth. And their zany religion already has elements of sci-fi in it. So it makes sense that, in the future, they'd have the funds to have a gigantic, generational starship built, and the craziness to fly it to another solar system, even though it's going to take them hundreds of years to get there(at least) and they might find nothing on the other side.
