She was Deputy Under-Secretary in the first through third seasons, before ascending to Secretary-General after Errinwright’s arrest and Sorrento-Gillis’s resignation. She also says she’s a “member of Parliament” which is just confusing, like most of the UN politics are. She brushes it off, because she’s Chrisjen Goddamn Avasarala, and she knows Amos is trouble. She may have lost most of her considerable powers, but not all of them.Ĭhrisjen ensures Amos isn’t going to murder anyone, and Amos hits on her, which is a funny plot that has been brewing since they first met. He makes it to Luna, which I guess is the transfer point for this shuttle, where Chrisjen immediately sends for him. Oh Amos, why you are the way you are, I’ll probably never understand. Dominique Tipper does a good job with this material, though, but she always does a good job.Īmos Burton ( Wes Chatham) is on his way to Earth on a Belter shuttle, where he gets into a fight and takes a (clothed) shower, washing away the blood from the fight. Naomi can be a good (or bad) mother without falling for the idea that her son, who is all-in on Marco’s schemes, can be redeemed just by her showing up in his life. The idea that Naomi’s mothering instincts override all sense in an otherwise sensible woman seems frankly, a little insulting. To be fair, those “stupid” plots did lead to something big, they were just frustrating at the time. Each season of The Expanse has a stupid plot, whether it be the reporters infiltrating the Roci in the latter half of Season Three, or most of Miller’s shenanigans in Season One, and well… Season Two was just excellent, so I can’t complain about that one too much. Which, honestly, is the stupid plot this season. Naomi almost immediately finds a ship and boards it, hoping that her son will reconcile with her. Fred finds Naomi and reveals…duh duh duhhhhh…that Filip has been spotted on Pallas Station. Naomi, ever striving to be the good guy in a conversation with a Belter tech, asks the fellow Belter to please not call Martians “Dusters,” because she serves alongside one.

Mars is still there, but there are more shots of Earth, too. Interestingly, a big mistake (the nuking of South America in season three) has remained, while Luna, which is Chrisjen Avasarala’s ( Shohreh Aghdashloo) new base of operations, has been added. The asteroids, on the other hand, are right on track.įor those who care about the gorgeous opening credits for The Expanse, a few things have changed, while some things have remained the same. Oh, and we find out 173 days have passed since Marco ( Keon Alexander) launched the stealth-tech covered asteroids, which is significant because some things this season have seemingly happened too quickly in that span of time, while others have occurred too slowly.
