    Collision course

    You thought the end to episode 2.4 was amazing? You haven't seen anything yet. This episode deals with what happens next, and is utterly utterly gripping television all the way. People have to come up with daring plans. People have to set aside distrust and try and work together. Politicians argue. Ordinary people do incredibly brave things. It will keep you gripped all the way. It never forgets the characters at the heart of it. And thus manages a very powerful ending that has the emotional impact to stay with you after. Brilliant tv.

    A tear jerker

    This episode was suitable to be a season finale. Miller dry sense of humor was on display all episode alone on the Eros with his "pet" nuke. The final scene was something you rarely see on any non premium channel shows, let alone a sci fi show. One of the most touching moments in TV history.

    Unbelievable

    This may be the best episode of tv I've ever seen. I've been a fan of this show since the beginning but this hour was just unbelievable.

    The tension of the situation between Miller on the menacing Eros, the crew on the Rocinante and the brain trust on Earth is amazing.

    I don't know how the producers, writers and actors did it but they must be proud of their achievement. After watching it I was stunned. That's NEVER happened to me before with television.

    Season 2, episode 5. Perfection.

    Just joined IMDB to be able to say: Thank you for one of the best TV I've ever watched!

    Pure poetry, beautiful......Miller - a true archetypical and yet atyipical epic hero.

    To The Expanse team, you deserve an Oscar. Thank you, thank you!

    Nailed It

    Last night's episode of "The Expanse" on SyFy brings the show up to the end of the first book, "Leviathan Wakes," and they hit a home run with this production. A well funded, written, and produced long run television series with author involvement is the new standard for bringing epic future fiction to the audience. Even a short and simple book like "Ender's Game" struggles to fit into the two hour big screen format without hugs cuts and annoying compression; it took fifteen 40 minute shows to tell the story of "Leviathan Wakes" adequately. I am looking forward to "Hyperion" with great excitement!

    • Trivia
      This marks the end of the first book of the series.
    • Goofs
      The velocity readout for Eros station is displayed as meters per second, when it should be kilometers per second. Specifically it says that Eros is traveling at a velocity of 27,800 m/s, at that speed it would take Eros approximately 130 days to make the roughly 315,000,000 kilometer trip to Earth. Whereas traveling at a velocity of 27,800 km/s would only take a little over three hours to reach Earth.

      -=CORRECTION=- Meters per second is the correct unit, and even at 130 days Earth recognises it is not enough time to evacuate people or protect the planet. This is covered in both the original book sources, and in the podcast "Ty & That Guy" with author and episode writer and director Ty Frank.
