    Badly badly flawed

    The Venus explorers keep losing probes, so they decide to take their ship down there. Right. At least the characters lampshade how dumb this is.

    Avasarala's party is pinned down in a very small room by four gunmen, and those gunmen are paid by one of the wealthiest men in this universe. Avasarala's gunman is good, but there is no reason to believe he has these superhuman abilities.

    Prax's belief that the hybrid is his daughter is ridiculous.

    This show has some great stuff, and the actors are great, but I think there are many reasons this episode has less than ten reviews.

    The last 4 episodes have been very flawed

    I haven't been a fan of the last four episodes, there have been too many flaws especially compared to episodes previous which have been absolutely excellent. Kinda disappointed because of this decline but I still love this show.

    Good finale episode of a good season 2

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    "Caliban's War", 13th episode of "The Expanse" ended season 2 in a good way. Some plot lines were closed, but many other and interesting events lies ahead - this is what i think after seeing season 2. This was a good episode - intense, past paced and involving with some good special effects.

    Overall, season 2 was an improvement over season 1. I'm not saying that 1st season was weak, no, it was also pretty good but second was simply better. That said i will be watching this show in a future, with season 3 underway. It is a good sci-fi show overall, with great source material and pretty good execution. Far from best shows that are out there, but it is a very solid sci-fi show, story of which like i said is its driving force.
