Kibble dishes are also pretty dry in the books. Not dehydrated, exactly, but it does sort of reconstitute in the mouth. Texturally, it's intended not to make a mess in low/no gravity.

Right? I was not expecting that from this show. I'm glad they don't feel constrained, but geez that was gruesome.

Wouldn't this actually be somewhat trivial to do in Io gravity? Wikipedia tells me it's 0.183g


And now that I looked it up, our Moon is actually 0.1654g, so Io is actually slightly stronger, hunh. Do you think the Apollo astronauts could have pulled off a sick wall run off the lunar lander if they weren't burdened with those clunky suits? I like to think they could.

Yeah, but that kid also grew up in low-g so it's still kind of impressive. But yeah, Amos could probably make it up there in one jump.

I wish they were able to show more of a range of graivities than zero-g and 1g, but I understand that is really really difficult due to budget reasons.

They have before. When Miller poured a drink in the first season, he held the glass further out because the liquid wouldn't fall as fast.

It was both, the bottle had to be held further away because of low g and also to the side as the pour would spiral off because Coriolis.

Bobbie casually lifting her arm while doing a 6g burn in the razorback was a bit of a gaff.

They ended season 2 with the Roci still near Ganymede right? In terms of distance, Io is pretty much next door, relatively speaking. They're taking their sweet time getting there with all their detours and space battles and salvage

Just her undersuit, but later she did say "I've trained in much stronger G's than this" so I figured that arm raise wasn't a big deal for her

How can her face be so pretty if she's a boxer? I bet she did like 2 matches a decade ago. Also her butt is really soft and plump. She's thicccccc.

She's an amateur boxer, and again, she's of Samoan heritage and has a pretty common Polynesian body type, have a look for photos of the Samoan and New Zealand Women's Rugby teams

Speaking of Bobbie and red kibble, there's a scene around the midpoint of the episode where she brings food to her and Avasarala's quarters. It's fairly minor, but after Avasarala walks off without eating, Bobbie takes a bite and you get a split second view of her realizing what she just put in her mouth.



It doesn't seem pleasant.

Could be both, but I'd lean toward the former. Kibble dishes are Belter subsistence food. If you didn't grow up eating it, you're probably not going to love it.

A ways back someone mentioned that they felt Alex calling his family all of a sudden seemed out of place. Well, I think that Alex called them as a reaction to seeing his family on the Roci start to fracture so he needed some closure with his own fractured family. It's not a coincidence that his next scene after his wife replies is to try and patch things up with Naomi and try to fix the wound between her and everyone else.
