THE EXPANSE SEASON 5 EPISODE 3 REVIEW FULL
Kamal is given a full military uniform to wear and is not confined to a cell like the others. Kamal reveals to his fellow crew members that he is shown respect for being honorably discharged after having served 20 years as a member of the Martian navy. The Knight’s pilot Alex Kamal, upon capture, is separated from the rest of the crew and shown unusual hospitality. Like Holden, Nagata charges the Martians with committing many injustices to the Belters. Nagata’s interrogator claims that her knowledge used to save The Knight from drifting in space after the attack on The Canterbury are “skillsets of a terrorist”. During her interrogation it’s revealed that Nagata is very well educated and has at least 2 advanced degrees in fusion drive design -technology we can assume is used in spacecraft of the future. Years of this desperation in the asteroid belt has resulted in the formation of a resistance-type organization called the Outer Planets Alliance or OPA, which the Martian navy accuses The Knight’s engineer Naomi Nagata of being a member of. The hopelessness and desperation that humans experience the further they are from Earth is a major theme established in the first two episodes.
While this backstory is pretty standard, one thing that should stand out but was rushed through during the interrogation was the fact that Holden hasn’t seen Earth in 12 years. As he explains to his captor, Holden refused to fire on a Belter ship that was smuggling civilians and charges both Mars and Earth with “stepping on the Belters for over a hundred years.” He “didn’t want to be the boot” Holden explains. Jim holden was dishonorably discharged from his post in the military for striking a commanding officer and refusing a direct order. Malcolm Reynolds, the captain of the Serenity in Firefly is a direct example of this as well as Captain Adama in Battlestar Galactica. Holden’s checkered military record while enlisted in Earth’s fleet comes heavily into play -a beaten-to-death story used in many space-set shows or films to drive the story of a ship’s captain. The seemingly despondent captain of The Knight, Jim Holden, was born on a 22-acre farm in Montana -what’s known in the future as the North American trade zone.Holden is genetic mix of 5 fathers and 3 mothers reveals his Martian interrogator, and was probably conceived so his nuclear family could qualify for a tax incentive. and their methodical interrogation of the captured crew quickly reveal the backstories of some key characters of The Expanse. The ship’s Martian crew are completely obedient to their Mars-based command. Their flagship naval vessel, The Donnager, where the crew of The Knight have been captured and imprisoned following the destruction of their ship The Canterbury, is sophisticated and far more technologically advanced than other spacecraft seen so far.
THE EXPANSE SEASON 5 EPISODE 3 REVIEW SERIES
The Expanse begins this episode with a very similar event as Jim Holden’s desperate video message broadcasted in the final moments of the previous episode reaches Ceres Station and inflames widespread dissent.įor the first time in the series we see members of the Mars naval fleet and they are nothing like their Earther or Belter counterparts.
