"The Alternative Factor"

We just saw the trailer for this episode. It suffers for coming right after the excellent "Errand of Mercy".

No one seemed very impressed. I guess we'll see how it goes next week...
 
oh goodness, this one is Comedy Gold, it's such an explosion of bile in on respect, but in the most priceless way.

every 30 seconds, Lazarus is falling off a cliff, screaming in Terror! such a Rude Dude, his damn Goatee constantly changing between shots, his over the top facial expressions. I can watch this one no matter what mood I'm in, but It's my go to Episode when I'm depressed, it never fails to leave me gasping for air.

"Captain Look Out! Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
 
We just saw the episode. I recognize there are people who enjoy it. I understand some folks like this episode better than other episodes.

The consensus of our group is thus:

"Hot F&*@king Garbage"
 
Then there's the protomolecule and the Ring
...and the Epstein drive...

The books explain why the Ring builders' technology doesn't follow the rules. The Epstein drive on the Rocinante should require large cooling panels as the engine's power is a maximum of 35 terawatts and thermodynamics tells us that it can't be 100% efficient. It's not very credible as depicted.
