    The only good sci-fi show of this decade: Adds one more interesting episode to the saga

    This show has become very unpredictable, it is digging deeper and deeper into the mysteries of space and also in our own human nature. This episode gives us a necessary time-jump in the narrative after the events with Hybrid-conflict.

    It was a great continuation of story and was perfectly paced. Enough surprises to keep you hooked.

    Syfy was hasty and short-sighted to cancel this show at third season - it is picking more steam in this season, it is actually surpassing the expectations at each turn. I sincerely hope that Amazon or Neflix picks this one up and gives it a boost it so much deserves.

    I am waiting for next episode, keep'em coming guys!!

    Skipped episode?

    Come into episode 7, to feel like a skipped an episode 😬 all characters been scattered, new stories, new lines. Feels difficult to understand and reconnect to storyline.

    Naomi's accent - ufff

    I checked several times that I hadn't somehow accidentally started a new season.

    Why is Naomi suddenly talking with a Belter accent? She was a Belter before - a Belter with an English accent. Changing it this late in the game is making me cringe.

    Lengthy excursions into irrelevant characters

    I certainly have to commend The Expanse for creating a show aimed at intelligent viewers. I want to recommend the show for that alone, but it also does it while making an incredibly rich world.

    But... while there are ways that that notion tends to slip in this episode a bit with regard to one over powered character, I think the bigger problem is the lengthy distractions into irrelevant backstory and minor characters.

    This kid that flies through the ring? Of course somebody will. Who cares about why, that he's a speed racer, etc? To the story from everyone's point of view, this could have been cut to starting five seconds before the kid went through the thing.

    This is very similar to the even worse dull flashbacks 100+ years earlier of the invention of the Epstein drive. Who cares if a Martian invented the high speed drive of this show? Mars also has nukes... do we need a flashback to the Manhattan Project? Mars doesn't have a monopoly on this drive.

    Intelligent is one thing, lengthy excursions into minutiae isn't the same thing.

    Fourth Season?

    This was so much like a new season with new characters and developments moved into the future. It took a while to tune into this but it wasn't long before I remembered what the players were up to. We now have "the ring" which adds an element of mystery. The thing on Venus has manifested itself in the far reaches and those behind fear maybe this thing is really dangerous. We have a couple of new characters who are very threatening, one woman in particular. But I am impressed that they have set up some threats that will have to be handled.

      The title "Delta-V" references the change in velocity over time, such as miles per hour per second. Or in g (standard Earth gravity) which is 9.8 meters per second per second, also 9.8 m/sec squared.

      Draper comments that she missed the "red sky" on Mars. However, Mars's sky is not red from its surface. Its sky can be violet, butterscotch, or even blue near the setting sun, but never red.

      Scientist: Aren't you part of the godly contingent?

      Reverend Doctor Anna Volovodov: Well, I came here on a spaceship, not the wings of an angel. I'm able to appreciate the difference.
