Alex: "You've never been scared of anything in your life"
Gunny: "Sure, I have. All the time. But there's a trick. You just have to believe that what you're doing really matters, and then the fear can't control you."

Holden: "Nice of Avasarala to clear up our salvage claim"
Amos: "How'd she look?"
Holden: "Fine"
Amos: "No, I mean, like, what was she wearing?"

FML.
I’ve started reading book 9 of #theExpanse and was confused by a huge jump in time. Seemed like a strange choice by the authors.
I accidentally skipped reading book 8. 🤦🏻♂️
That sure does explain things!
I’ve been reading all my life and this is the first time I’ve ever made a boneheaded mistake like that.
Guess my reading is on pause until I can get the missing book sent to me, lol.
(The book series is really fucking good, btw).

Ashford: "Beltalowda. Eyes and ears. We are trapped in the Black and fighting for our lives. So make no mistake. Everything we do here is to buy one more chance to live. One more breath! So do your fucking job or I will space you myself"

Ashford: "Oh, when the victim becomes the victorious, they adopt a uniform to show that they are now one warrior. Individuals can be divided and conquered but symbols, huh...symbols endure"

Finished my rewatch of #TheExpanse and I remain convinced it's damn near perfect.
There's some strong contenders out there for best recent #SciFi shows — #Foundation probably being my favourite, despite its flaws and departures from the books — but I think it still comes out on top.

Ashford: "And I've drunk real Earth whiskey out of a UN Admiral's mug and then scuttled her ship. I flew dark past a Martian battle group, and they never even knew I was there. And I've seen friends breathe the vacuum and watched my only child burn"

"Oye, Beltalowda. Listen up. This is your Captain, and this is your ship. This is your moment"
"You might think that you're scared, but you're not. That isn't fear. That's your sharpness. That's your power. We are Belters. Nothing in the void...is foreign to us. The place we go...is the place we belong"
"This is no different. No one has more right to this, none more prepared. We are the Belt. We are strong, we are sharp, and we don't feel fear. This moment belong to us. For Beltalowda!"
One of the best speeches of the series.

And … it’s over 😢
I first started watching #TheExpanse well before the pandemic, but got stuck after S4 in 2020 🤷♂️
Not because I didn’t enjoy it – quite the opposite. Weird.
So when my friend Dominique Tipper came to ESA’s ESTEC Open Day in 2022, I promised her I’d finish 🙇♂️
Watching from S1 again with my wife, we made it to the end of S6 tonight.
Promise kept ✊
Bittersweet to think that that’s it. Although there are the books beyond, of course 😉

Scenes with Gunny and Avasarala are some of the best of the series.
