![]() In his first appearance on the show, Alexander embodies Marco’s silvery tongue and wanton charisma he ends up changing the minds of two of the faction leaders. But their mistake was allowing him to speak beforehand. Joined by leaders of the Black Sky, Golden Bough, and Mater Kibileya factions, Ashford and Drummer put Marco’s fate to a vote. Using their myriad of connections, Ashford and Drummer successfully apprehend Marco Inaros (Keon Alexander, Impulse, Tyrant), Naomi’s ex and a leader of an OPA faction that doesn’t recognize the scriptures of the convention. (Photo: Amazon Prime)īobbie’s OPA experience leads to what is, save for maybe the Builders’ goings-on on Ilus, the biggest development in the season thus far. Drummer and Ashford continue the difficult task of keeping the Belter OPA factions in line, a task made more difficult by her releasing the charismatic Marco Inaros. Bobbie’s struggle (and those of countless MCRN marines) on finding purpose after her life as a soldier is fundamental to her character and is no better example to the changes going on in that world. The beauty in The Expanse lies in the show’s ability to fashion narratives that are so relatable, even in such a far-off future. ![]() Considering the first job involved the OPA, chances are high she’ll come across the Belter organization soon enough. With no good options on the table and the bitterness of the situation wearing on even her resolute spirit, Bobbie accepts Martin’s offer to work with him full-time. After being arrested for her role in the theft (thanks to the foreman) Bobbie reaches out to the only person she can think of: Esai Martin. When he doesn’t terminate or reprimand her but instead suggests they could make money selling the now-obsolete military wares for interested parties, it’s a harsh reminder that not everyone on Mars shares her personal code of honor. In an attempt to regain her integrity, she tells the dock foreman about the break-in and her role in the theft. Meanwhile, on Mars, Bobbie’s world continues to spiral further down into frustration. That sort of laser focus can be even more frightening than a sociopathic titan like Amos. Holden’s power lies in his conviction of mind and action, the ability to put every ounce of his will towards a specific goal. Holden’s strength lies not in his martial abilities which, while greater than most on Ilus, fall short of someone like Amos. You’re not in charge anymore”, lacks the proud resolve displayed when Amos warned the security officer. Whether it’s due to Holden’s focused rage, his position as Avasarala’s envoy, or a combination of the two, Murtry’s reaction to Holden’s decree, “This ends now. As scary as Amos is, Holden has his own moments of terrifying resolve and it plays out here beautifully. Holden also is true to himself when, after he and Alex get the two women to safety, the furious Holden confronts Murtry about the latter’s reckless and brutal tactics. It also emphasizes the type of person Naomi has been in some ways, she is the conscience of our ragtag Roci family and risking her life for Lucia is absolutely a Naomi thing to do. But it’s not the sense of worry for her safety, rather in the execution of forcing Naomi to overcome her own fears and tap into her renown Belter ingenuity to stay Murtry’s advance. One could argue that, at least for Naomi, there’s no real danger here. Already complicated by Naomi’s deteriorating health, their escape is further compromised when Murtry wounds Lucia and has the two pinned down, all within sight of the Roci. Though his hate-on is directed towards the Ilus Belters, Naomi puts herself in harm’s way when she helps Lucia escape the security chief’s wrath. Not wasting time with pleasantries, “Retrograde” picks up immediately after Murtry’s (Burn Gorman, Pacific Rim, Turn, Game of Thrones) execution of the Belter conspirators. You can’t know which until the fight happen.” Decem21 Shows We Lost in 2022 JRanking the Success of Saved Shows: ‘Magnum P.I.’ ‘Manifest,’ ‘B99,’ & More JanuQ&A ‘The Expanse’: Steven Strait & Dominique Tipper Break Down the ‘Gratifying’ Series Finale JanuOpinion Bidding Farewell to ‘The Expanse,’ One of TV’s Science Fiction Greats Janu‘Ray Donovan’ Last Stand, Denzel Is ‘Macbeth,’ ‘After Life’ Final Season, A Real ‘Scream’ DecemPreview ‘The Expanse’ EP Says the ‘Tables Have Turned’ for the Rocinante Crew in Season 6 Decem‘Expanse’ Final Season, New ‘Peanuts’ Special, Cyberattack on ‘Blue Bloods,’ Sandra Bullock in ‘Unforgivable’ DecemQ&A Steven Strait & Dominique Tipper Preview a ‘Beautiful’ Final Season of ‘The Expanse’ Decem10 of the Most Memorable Moments from ‘The Expanse’ DecemTV Insider’s Top 25 of the Week (December 6-12): ‘And Just Like That,’ ‘Live in Front of.“Some are fighters, and some are not.
