Thanks. With billions of people, Mars can certainly challenge Earth for the solar system.

Is Syfy now holding the show until the New Year?
Space in Canada is doing their annual "12 days of Spacemas" where they marathon movies and shit over the Xmas/New Years period and it starts Monday.
Was also looking at the wiki entry yesterday and it seems they started writing the second season back in May so unless it turns into a real ratings turd we could be on track for a S2.
The second episode was just as good as the first. I was a little surprised they skipped over the big riot from the book, but I guess they might just be saving that later. Miller's visit to Julie's apartment was the only part of this one that I recognized from the book, I actually just read that scene yesterday, but even it played out a little differently.
The stuff on the Knight gave us some nice character moments, and Miller's story was a nice bit of world building.
So did Havelock pay the hooker with the cactus?
I think it's a good sign that the only things someone like Christopher can find to complain about is a complaint about diversity, which doesn't really hold up, and one about magnetic boots that really has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual show.

I take it SyFy is jumping on the streaming TV bandwagon.
I'm not real clear on what you're asking. There is a new episode every Tuesday through February 9th.
The Expanse - Episode Schedule
Personally, I think a 4 hour holiday marathon on Syfy of the released episodes is a great idea.
The episodes are ad supported. But it doesn't appears that, at least for these 4 episodes, they require cable subscriber authentication which they do for some other shows.
Should have paid closer attention to the wiki entry yesterday
But was asking if the U.S was also getting a couple of weeks break between Eps 2 and 3 or whether Canada was getting left behind.
But now I know
We've seen some of it before but there's very little in scifi we haven't seen at this point, so does it do it well? I think the answer is a resounding yes. I don't think the magnetic boots are used continuously, they are seen used as a backup and also in emergency/combat situations.

The first four episodes are now available online in Canada as well.

How awesome does the Rocinante look when we get to it at the end of Episode 4? Interesting to see they've brought Lopez onboard - if memory serves, he didn't make it off the Donny in the books (plus, pretty obvious the Donny's command deck is a redress of the Roci's Bridge, but it's all MCRN design).
Well, I missed episode 2 Tuesday night due to a power outage, and for reasons I wasn't able to get to it online until today, and then I find out episodes 3 and 4 are available as well. Nice consolation prize, IMO.
So anyhoo, I'm all caught up to episode 4 now. I got to say the show certainly does absorb you once it gets going. Although faithful, the show does seem to be gradually carving its own direction, or maybe I'm just misremembering details form the books. For example, in the books, the crew always seems so loyal to Holden, even in the beginning. Yet here, no one really respects him and its Naomi who has to whip everyone into action. Also, I don't remember Amos being so intensely loyal to Naomi and so hostile to Holden. Alex certainly didn't have his commission restored when they got to Donnager in the books.
I take it the show doesn't have any military experts? Not that there's anything seriously amiss about how military is presented in the show, but the rank insignia on the uniforms does bother. Or in the case of the UN Admiral, lack thereof. But what really gets me is the use of chevrons for the officers in the Martian Navy. It makes them look like enlisted personnel. Hell, at a glance one would think Donnager's captain was a sergeant and Lopez a corporal.

Fantastic show! I am happy to see a decent and well done space show return to TV. 
I just hope the New Trek show is as good

From what I read, it sounds like the water was low due to the Cant not arriving, so they rationed it, but the residents of Ceres blamed Earth or Mars.
Earth (or even Mars, with its domes) people can never understand what it means to be a Belter where you don't have free access to air and water automatically. Miller mentions it many times in the book.
