![]() If I were Prax, though, I probably wouldn’t feel like betting on that. I worry about Mei at the hands of the less-than-sane duo of Strickland and Mao, but based on Mao’s protective nature, at least where Mei is concerned, I think she’ll probably last long enough for Holden to end the war and then head to Io to pick her up. I’m glad that Holden is getting, at least peripherally, involved in putting an end to the war. The Expanse Season 3, Episode 4: “Reload” – Final Thoughts The altruistic speech-writing doctor/pastor desperately wants to reunite with her family, but positive proof of treason is hard to leave alone, especially when the fates of three different human civilizations hang in the balance. ![]() She calls her wife and tells her she’s coming home, but a last-minute transmission from the Pinus Contorta that shows Errinwright admitting his responsibility for the attack on Ganymede gives her pause. Volovodov can’t take the dishonesty of the job anymore. His Excellency Secretary General Sorrento-Gillis delivers the speech that Volovodov wrote for him but does a little riffing at the end that ratchets the speech up into an all-out call for a crusade against Mars, race-traitors that they are. I guess the Mormons want it back… The Expanse Season 3, Episode 4: “Reload” – “Mission Accomplished!” The Expanse Season 3, Episode 4: “Reload” – “Oh yeah, the OPA!”Īn appearance from the Belters shows that Drummer and a convoy of Belter ships are bringing the Nauvoo back home, having previously set it adrift in an attempt to to knock Eros off of its collision course with Earth. The would-be Martian mutineers surrender, and Holden, after repairing their ship, sends them on their way along with Avasarala’s message of Errinwright’s betrayal. They manage to beat the crap out of Alex, but a tense exchange between Bobbie, still wearing her amazing Martian battle suit, defuses the situation quickly by calmly stating her greater firepower. The Martian guests wear out their welcome quickly when they try to violently gain control of the ship. They find a good candidate for salvage but find three of the crew alive on board. Holden and company, low on fuel and other resources elect to salvage what they need from disabled Martian ships left to drift. The Expanse Season 3, Episode 4: “Reload” – Three Amigos It seems that Mao’s brief flash of humanity only pertains to Mei. A brief glimpse into his softer side in “Assured Destruction” was pretty much wiped away by his heartless display upon seeing two lab assistants turned into a gooey mess by Mei’s protomolecule-enhanced friend Katoa. ![]() ![]() The Expanse’s fourth episode showed viewers that Jules-Pierre Mao’s humanity is quite limited indeed. Everyone else featured in “Reload” seems intent upon destroying large swaths of humanity. This is a distinction between her and Marco Inaros, who has shown himself so far to be merciless in his pursuit of the Free Navy’s eventual dominance.The fourth episode of The Expanse’s third season showed viewers that Holden and his crew might be some of the only people in the solar system, along with Anna Volovodov, who actually want peace. Yet, people like Chrisjen want to still save those who are innocent, if possible. Maybe we’re already there maybe the dam has already been shattered. Drummer still has to manage her grief (which is not going altogether well), and Avasarala has to find a way to flex her political muscles once more amidst great opposition.Īt present, it feels like we are on the cusp of galactic war between the Belters, Earth, and Mars, with one wrong move leading to another massive loss of life. Never has The Expanse played out dystopia in such a realistic fashion - the concept of deep-fakes clearly takes on new life here. The title makes it clear what Amos and Clarissa will most likely be up to, but what about everyone else? For Naomi Nagata, her newly-altered distress call could save lives and offer up hope, provided of course everyone believes it is really her.
