![]() It’s an interesting dynamic that has arisen on the Rocinante (yes, we’re back to calling it that for clarity’s sake). Trust us, no one believes Holden’s insistence that, “We’re sending a message, nothing more.” Meanwhile, Shooreh Aghdashloo wears the Razorback jumpsuit well as she spots Anna on the newsfeed and decides the pastor is the one to trust. ![]() Despite continued friction between Naomi and the others, it was enjoyable to see her realize the change in James, saying “This is how it starts, you know.” Yeah, Naomi, we know. That being said, it was satisfying to see Errinwright put in his place, and we look forward to more of that now that Holden has decided to help Avasarala. The problem is we don’t know Anna well enough to care about her humiliation on a personal level, even though Elizabeth Mitchell excels at portraying quiet indignation therefore, the fact that she receives Avasarala’s evidence against Errinwright gives us hope that her character will gain importance, redemption, and audience investment. That’s not to say that Anna doesn’t deserve sympathy - she certainly does! We already got the sense that her earlier speech-writing stint with Esteban Sorrento-Gillis was an experience she wasn’t particularly proud of, and for her to be coaxed once again into believing the dream of changing the world through her words must have been devastating when it ended in spectacular disappointment. Giving Pastor Anna a part to play in the larger story as a new character who is struggling to gain audience sympathy couldn’t have come at a better moment either. ![]() Although the events unfolding on Io hold the most intrigue in “Reload,” the emotional journeys and enjoyable reactions of Amos, Bobbie, Naomi, and the others are what ultimately make this a successful episode. It figures that it would take a common enemy, even one as temporary as the MCRN squids who try to take over Holden’s ship, to bring the divided crew, including Bobbie and Avasarala, closer together in this week’s The Expanse. ![]() ![]() This The Expanse review contains spoilers. ![]()
