Expanse season 5 finale
WELL THAT EPISODE WAS EXACTLY NOTHING I WANTED.
So I guess we get another season of Marco. Fan-freaking-tastic.
I did really enjoy everything with Drummer, although I ended up finding it really hard to follow who was on which ship and exactly how much everyone understood of what was going on. Did Holden actually get her message? Everyone acted later like they didn't understand why the Belters were attacking each other.
Basically I just found this episode really anticlimactic! Drummer betrayed Marco LIKE A BOSS, but it wasn't exactly a surprise and then she didn't actually get to do much. Naomi was rescued, but there wasn't much aftermath for it (although the rescue with Naomi and Bobbie was great - but then they never interacted in the episode again!). That was a very underwhelming way to kill off a major character, especially since the major deaths in last season's finale were so dramatic and meaningful. No Naomi-Drummer reunion, or resolution at all, really - does Drummer even know Naomi survived? No Drummer-Roci teamup, at least not explicitly, or two-way contact between their ships. No resolution to Bobbie's friendship with Alex, even - the least we could have done was see her being sad!
The Amos-Naomi-Holden reunion was pretty nice, though, and Amos's farewell with his friend was kind of neat even though I still don't care about his friend much. I'm jazzed about Clarissa as a member of the crew.
It just felt like this episode packed in too much to really dwell on the emotional aspects of anything. It felt rushed and disjointed.
Basically I want a giant fixit for this season, damn it.
