This episode just has to much filler. The drama between Naomi and Filip drags on way to long and is just full of cliche's . "I know what you are going through, you dont know me, blah blah...oh lets cry and hug" Its all just recycled mediocre drama thats already been gone over in previous episodes and it just goes on and on and on...

Lets be fair, this is not why we love The Expanse... I was so happy that the next scene arrived with Alex, Bobbie, Chrisjen and Holden and I was finally watching an episode of The Expanse again, to bad we were already 20 minutes into the episode and exactly nothing had happened yet.

I love this series and i get it, they are giving depth to characters. But this takes way too long. This was 50 minutes of chatting. I honestly got distracted with something else for the first time. It feels like one chapter from a book in 4 episodes. It's abuse from a father seen from different angles, but then repeated over and over.

The final 3 better bring something spectacular;)

Still, it is way better then the majority of series out there.

This episode was really heavy on Naomi's' situation. Loved the the dialogue between Naomi and her son and the dilemma she and her family are going through. The episode was not really action packed but the action scene was fairly intense and the dialogue made up for it a bit. The cliff hanger scene was the first cliff hanger that I was satisfied with in a couple of episodes.

I have no problem with the science. I have no problem other plot elements and the megalomania of the crazy "emperor." I don't even have trouble with the tussle between Naomi and her son. But did it have to eat up thirty percent of the episode? We've already seen these heart-to-hearts in other episodes leading up to this. I think the point was made. Still, I look forward to the two final offerings.

Season 5 is better than Season 4 for sure, but I am pretty sick of Naomi and her son storyline, we are on a precious episode 7 and this soap still continues, ironically I even don't hate Marco that much(probably he is Mars puppet, hey at least an intrigue) , but this whole Naomi and her son storyline should have been resolved in 1 episode, Amos, Bobbie, Camina storylines should have had more screen time this season...
