I really enjoyed this episode. I think it developed Holden and crew fairly well (Holden moreso than anyone else). The parts on the Rocinante were my favorite during this ep. I also liked the parts with Avasarala and Holden's mother. I'm really looking forward to the next episode. This is probably my favorite show on TV right now.sigpic

Originally posted by ecgordon View PostI liked it in spite of the fact they deviated from the books more than any other episode. What's the weirdest thing about that is Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck wrote it.
1. Dawes. In the book, Dawes is more in the background and less malevolent. Dawes doesn't order Miller killed as he does in the TV series.
2. The Avasarola agent onboard during ride to Eros. Does't happen in the book. It doesn't seem to serve any point other than create delay in the story.
3. Erenright (Avasarola's boss) does not order a hit on Holden.
It is interesting to watch the changes the author's go alone with in the TV series.

Any story will undergo changes when it is adapted to another medium. I was skeptical for a while that they would be able to complete the first novel's arc this season, but now I'm pretty sure they will, and some of the changes will be part of how they've streamlined the story in able to do it.

This show is growing on me more and more with each episode. I initially found some of the casting a little jarring with my own mental rendering of the characters from the books.
Avasarala is pitch perfect casting as far as I'm concerned, I like her a lot.
Miller was completely different from my own imagining of him and really didn't seem to fit the character. But, despite that, I've enjoyed Tom Jane's Miller from the start.
Amos really didn't work for me initially - he just didn't seem big enough but he is definitely growing on me.
Holden is definitely improving for me as is Alex; the only character I still have a hard time with is Naomi. She's just not tall and willowy enough to fit the character I know from the books. That and I find her acting a little forced.
As for this episode, it felt like it really drove the plot forward. Like others have said, I wasn't sure how we were going to make it to the money shots from the source material but now I can definitely see how the season will unfold now.

Maybe I've got the episode count wrong, how many episodes are in the first TV season?

Wish Sy Fy had a discussion area where the crew answered questions.

The next episode is called Salvage, and based on the synopsis it sounds like Miller and Holden and crew willSpoiler:meet on Eros and find Julie's body, they'll probably also find the stealth ship (maybe before Holden and crew get to Eros and meet Miller).Spoiler:Juliesigpic

A book a season would be the way to do it.

I agree that they'd have to condense a lot of stuff if they're going to finish the first book this season. As it is right now, they're not even halfway through it. I was just speculating based on the episode titles and the synopsis for the next episode.
I also think that it would be best if they did a book a season.sigpic
