So the same alien 'intelligence ' which ghosted 100,000 men, women and children on Eros before it impacted onto Venus opens a stargate of sorts to a bunch of new system
It only ghosted them because a greedy megalomaniac Jules-Pierrer Moa, and an off the reservation scientist Dresden, decided to see what it would do if inflicted on humans in a controlled, monitored environment all in an effort to discover the military possibilities. In other words: cha-ching. I would argue you could have done that on a smaller scale, but they didn't ask me. The protomolecule is neither ethical or unethical, but the early aliens might have been Crusaders just like humans.

Mining chances or not, I'd like to know. At least early settlers had some idea about Indians, and the help of the US Calvary to come to their aid, maybe, if things got too dicey. Oh well.
So you would not be the first through one of these - me neither. But some desperate types, like Belters, might not even think it through beyond, "o yeah, free stuff, we out." I'm not sure how much Columbus's crew really understood in terms of what was ahead of them or exactly what life on the Mayflower was actually going to entail for all that time on the boat.
There is definitely plenty of fiction in this science fiction. Just wait for the next season - ho-boy!

Doesn't matter who did what, the point is, they didn't know what was behind the portal in the first place. And do the belters have any clue what the environments on these places are like ? Gravity? Belters, via their low gravity environment, can't even stand 1 G w/ out great assistance. What of planets w/ greater gravity?
It's a small thing to fuss over, I admit. The series overall is awesome, and I am greatly looking forward to next season. I just hope they don't drop all 8 eps ( or how ever many ) all at once. Keep the interest going and do it weekly, is my main input.

Season 5 ep. 1 already dropped a few days ago. I will be waiting until most are out in Feb to pick Prime back up. There's only a couple things we watch so paying for three months ain't worth it.

Just watched the S5 EP1 this morning - there are so many streaming services dropping so many things that I completely missed it the first day. Like an early Christmas present. Still amazing. One of the opening shots, the long follow camera on a shuttle flying through a space station (Tyko?) - gah - amazing. The detail is one thing, but then to think people have to imagine all of the surfaces and purposes for everything in view without a lot of RW items to draw on... jaw dropping. I would love to work on the show to find out how they are lighting those claustrophobic sets.

EP 6 S5 dropped - watched it this morning. Great stuff - more f bombs than usual, which fits. I think it keeps getting better and better. There are still some bumps as there will be with any tv series. It's damn gorgeous to look at. I am def going to reading the next book before the next season. I think there will be 9 seasons.
Brenda - if you're reading - not sure if you are watching this show. Cara Gee is a Canadian actress playing one of my fav characters, Camina Drummer, IMDB:
"Cara Gee is a Canadian film, television, and stage actress.
Gee was primarily known as a stage actress in Toronto, Ontario, where her acting credits included productions of Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, Daniel MacIvor's Arigato, Tokyo, Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters, Cliff Cardinal's Stitch, Birdtown and Swanville's 36 Little Plays About Hopeless Girls and Louise Dupré's Tout Comme Elle.
She made her feature film debut in Empire of Dirt for which she was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award. The film also won a Special Jury award at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and Cara won Best Actress at the American Indian Film Festival. In 2013, Gee was named one of TIFF's annual Rising Stars.
Gee has also worked in television, playing guest roles in the television series King and Republic of Doyle. In 2014, she starred as the lead character in the Western drama series Strange Empire on CBC Television, for one season until it was cancelled in 2015.
As of 2016, Gee stars in the 33-episode web series Inhuman Condition, which airs on the KindaTV YouTube channel. In 2017 she began to star in the recurring role of Camina Drummer on the Amazon television series The Expanse.
Gee is Ojibway. She was born in Calgary, Alberta, and raised in Bobcaygeon, Ontario."

One of many top notch actors in the show.

We LOVE Drummer. I think she could get her own series. Best character on the show, perhaps.
Can't wait for February. Might pick up one of those egg crate seat cushions for extended vegging comfort
BTW, How are they handling "Alex" after Cas Anvar was caught with underage girls in his hotel room?? Are they kind of writing him out or minimizing him at all?

Hijacked from reddit about Cas.
Thursday, October 15: A member of The Expanse production crew contacted the moderation team about sharing her experience with more than 2 years of sexual harassment by Cas Anvar while they were both working on The Expanse. Over the past few weeks, she has provided documents verifying her identity and work on The Expanse, statements about her experience, and screenshots of over 200 messages. Below is a summary of her experiences with Anvar both on and off set. She hopes that by sharing her experience, she can help corroborate a pattern of predatory behavior by Anvar toward young women. For context, at the time of the harassment the crew member was in her mid-twenties and physically young-looking for her age, and Anvar was approaching fifty years old.
Over the course of 2 years, from 2014 to 2016, an Expanse crewmember received inappropriate and sexually harassing messages from Cas Anvar. The crewmember has asked to remain anonymous, as she is still involved with production on The Expanse. Our moderation team has verified her identity, confirming that she worked in physical proximity to Anvar on The Expanse during the time of the harassment and has continued to do work on the show through Season 5. The harassing messages began at the start of the crewmember’s work on Season 1 production, when she was new to the industry. She states that Anvar pressured her to engage in physical intimacy (including aggressive requests to kiss her while at work) and meet outside of work or work events (at bars, his hotel room or spa, or via video chat), though she always refused.
The screenshots the crewmember shared are a combination of text messages and Facebook messages from Anvar’s personal Facebook account. In the screenshots, Anvar’s messages consist of unreciprocated sexual and flirtatious language, demands to meet outside of work, aggressive sexual statements about himself and his opinions of gender roles, inappropriate sexual and personal questions, and photos or videos of himself. The crewmember’s infrequent responses to Anvar show consistent refusal of Anvar’s advances and attempts to de-escalate his attention without angering him, and she recalls worrying about how saying ‘no’ to Anvar might lead to retaliation on a professional level. The screenshots show that when she refused Anvar or ignored his messages, he would often abruptly lose his temper or threaten to do so, insult her, or tell her in backhanded apologies that she was overly sensitive or had misunderstood his intentions, then return to proposition her again later. Screenshots show many messages from Anvar over weeks or months without any response from the crewmember. In the screenshots, Anvar’s messages include language, tone, and emoji/sticker use very similar to the messages that others have shared.
The crewmember says the majority of The Expanse's staff is extremely professional and kind, and the highest-ranking people “treat their crew better than any other set that I’ve been on.” She believes that it was likely the knowledge that her labor union would take strong action if she reported Anvar that prevented him from escalating his behavior physically, though she was too new to the industry to “understand that I had a voice and could say ‘no’ to a seemingly powerful man at work.”

Not having seen more than one episode of the show I'll skip this discussion as you suggest. What I can do is bump this thread back to the top.

fck. They must have filmed the season before this came out? I just popped in to see if there were any posts in this thread, so I'll do some looking and come back with what I find. I like his character enough, but I don't think the show would hurt too much without him. More pissed that - if it proves to be true - yet another molester on a film set - they never learn.

I don't even get why they think they can do that with all those people around and send all those texts and just get away with it forever.
Guy had a sweet role making bank, and now most likely won't ever work again.
I'm sure he could have found a dozen chicks to sleep with him before, but he just had to harass ones that DIDN'T want him??
Why did no one stop him??
I just never get it.
