Fully expect at least one group to end up with another by episodes end. Yeah they had six subplots going before, tycho/roci, drummer’s fleet, marco’s fleet, alex and bobby on the razorback, amos on earth, and avaserala on luna

Blind Rasputin posted:So is the guy who’s piloting the Roci now, Fred’s assistant dude, is that going to be the new Alex? I’m ok with that. I wonder how they’re going to get rid of Alex. I was hoping it was gonna be that chirpy chief engineer on Tycho. Before....uh....yeah..... Question: she kept calling Holden "dusiwalla", first as a term of endearment, and then as an insult, and I can't figure out what it means. Walla is lover (as in, wellwalla - someone obssessed with the gravity well) but I've no idea about dusi. I'm assuming it's earther or something.

Like a needing a Principle Staff Breaker of James Holden's Balls. The Fred Johnson roasts of Holden were some of the funnier bits from the earlier season.

It's from the Hindi word that means "one who does". Welwala means "one from the gravity well" essentially. Dusiwala means "sweetie", so Dusi is probably supposed to sound like dulce, which means sweet. https://twitter.com/bahiawatson/status/1347258019776782337?s=21

I saw a guy complaining that Marco wears too much eye makeup on a friend's FB wall. I asked him why he thinks heavy kohl works for Drummer and not for Marco. MIND B L O W N

Marco is the best. I can't get enough of how much the actor hams it up. I wish he had a moustache to twirl. One thing I don't like is utility straps that he hooks his thumbs behind. It takes away from his sense of danger. Much prefer it if he put his hands behind his back or something.

StashAugustine posted:I didn't like Marco in s4 or early in the season but now that he's got something to do other than monologue he's all right I'd say the impact from the most episode at least to me had more weight than his cardboard cut-out evil antagonist speeches.... Like how he was able to catch on that Filip was turning sympathetic to his mother but then used the whole "hero worship" bit to get back control / convince Filip to do things like punch his own mom in the face. Or Naomi finding out that main reason she wasn't able to find Filip was because Marcos had successfully manipulated and turned one her closest Belter friends against her behind her back.

I was gonna contest the leader comment until you said this, but I think that's a pretty apt way to describe it. She's extremely competent, above and beyond really, when she gets the resources she needs and people do as she tells them, but we've seen more than a few times at this point that when she gets pushback she doesn't have anything close to the chops of someone like Fred, Dawes, or even Holden at rallying people to her plan without manipulation or intimidation. I think she's gonna do just fine with drone man as the figurehead, though. eta: Typo posted:Shohreh Aghdashloo is a national treasure

She'll torture, order assassination strikes, take credit from others, run a cynical campaign, etc, but at least she and her husband haven't (apparently) taken over a hundred million dollars in speaking fees from the big banks. And putting herself at grave physical risk to confront a corporate billionaire (Mao) and helping Bobbie uncover MCR clandestine action is stuff Hillary would never do.

Jesus just watched S05E04 and can I say that OPA are literally the worst? "Boohoo we are so oppressed, so let's just kill billions, because that's what good guys do!" I want to bitchslap everyone of these assholes (especially Filip and that stupid hacker girl on Tycho) and really hope they get crashed to dust
