Her and Holden hooking up was weak. These 2 have no chemistry. Fine for a fling, but I don't see any great bond between the 2. ( Amos and Peaches is a better story, even if she's just another damsel in distress for him )
Hell. Holden has more chemistry with the journalist lady than Naomi. I too am tired of the Naomi drama. It feels like they cheated out on this season. Barely any action set pieces. Just emo moods for all.
Best parts have easily been Amos and Peaches.
Anyway. The frick couldn’t Naomi use the radio transmission break up SOS style?

Was she breaking off ice to drink or for some other reason?

Agree with everyone else, episode was way better than last few. Gun battle could have been a lot better and again the didn't show peaches kick some arse. Erich actor has been great. Seems like I dislike drummer replacing Pa more each episode. Don't remember Pa's ship being sort of dysfunctional like this. Guess that's what they get for not casting Pa a couple of seasons ago. At least there's a new angle for the ship and marco. And why has it taken so many episodes to get Alex over to Naomi?!

Not gonna lie, been pretty friggin disappointed with this season so far... Amos going to earth seems pointless, I cringe every time I see Naomi, Phillip and Marco have a emotional breakdown, and Holden is just a blundering lovesick ninny. They really need to kick it up a knotch on the action.

They toned down the rocks hitting earth, skipped the Martian prime minister storyline, and had a heavy focus on the Belter shite.
Not a fan of any of those moves

Amos Peaches storyline has dragged out as has the Naomi, Philip saga.

I guess because they figured it would be cheaper , CG wise, to not get into the massive planetary size scale of destruction and instead focus in on the ground level perspective of Amos and Peaches. Easier to show those two walking through the woods than a landscape of destroyed cities with millions of dead bodies strewn all about.

Haven't watched the last two episodes. Patiently waiting on the complete book set to arrive.

I know it sucks when people get political here, however...
There is a reason Amazon built this section up. They also went from a European to Caribbean feel for the belters through the seasons.
At least we know Indians are solid leaders and Asians suck and got Earth bombed by rocks.

I love the books but haven’t watched this season. I was excited for the adaptation this season, but it sounds like I shouldn’t bother. That’s ok, I am transitioning away from Amazon in general anyway.

It is worth watching, no regrets. This season just has been it would of been better in a binge watch. Some of these episodes have been let downs and then it sucks waiting a week. If you binge it everything will be better.

The Naomi and Phillip story line could have been decent had Phillip not been a whiney little bitch and had Naomi not abandoned every character trait that made her likable.

Agree here. Still worth it and would be a little better binging it. They focused wayyyyyy too much on Naomi with Marco and Filip and a weak/boring Drummer. Absurdly too much. They shafted Alex and Bobbie this season, as they've done almost nothing. I've read a lot of people weren't big fans of Cibola burn and last season, but I think last season was a lot better than this season.

And to be fair, I actually liked Cobola burn.

I liked the story of Cibola burn, but the Elvi chapters were terribly painful as they sound like the POV of a scientist in junior high.
Posted on 1/27/21 at 12:55 pm to lagallifrey
True. Wasn't elvi the love struck one who just needed some good action and she ended up hooking up with that other scientist? For Cibola Burn most everything else was pretty solid. Miller is always good to have around. Miller's partner on the other ship was good to follow. Everything taking place in space was baddass, but so was everything on the surface. It was too bad they left out some of the giant creatures that came to life on the surface.

Yes, that’s the one. Sounded like a bad YA novel, she had a crush on Holden. Otherwise a good book though.

With one episode to go, I would say it will need to be a miracle to not make this the worse season so far.
The SyFy seasons are really kicking Amazons butt here and this seems to be a theme of Amazon shows. They cannot sustain seasons, at least in the few series I watched on Prime.
Come on Amazon
