Great episode. This show continues to impress with its attention to detail. The fallout of instant deceleration was amazing, zero G fire in Naomi's ship, the tears pooling in Tily's eyes as she died. Such minor things that really add a layer of depth that you normally don’t see.

They firmly established the speed limit only effects the ships as a whole. First guy shot himself in the gate. People walking forward in the ships are able to do so. Thats what killed everyone as well. the ship stops, the people inside DON'T.
I am not sure how girl mao, Naomi, or church lady kenneth were able to jet pack forward faster then their ships to get unto the Rossi though..

The martians were after holden as their priority and so they were really the only ones in position to make the intercept via ship nobody else was really trying that hard especially after everybody hit the wall they had more shit to worry about than another ship that also was not going anywhere in a hurry.

The structure stops threats. Projectiles fired inside another vessel is not a threat to it until it leaves that ship and becomes a threat. Inside the station itself those bullets were threats so it stopped them.

Thomas Jane 100%, I love his additions of a Noir-esque / Bladerunner element to the show, combined with his visual acting methods and you have a really cool character.
Elizabeth Mitchell I always find SO dry, like her performances always feel the same to me. I feel like she has one facial expression and it cries, it smiles, it does everything. Combined with her cadence of slow and plodding dialogue? I dunno, it seems like she is the hippy mom of 30 kids at a commune in ALL of her roles.
Cara Gee was always pretty impressive, "Tell it with your face" has never been executed better. The disgust that her character shows via facial emotion is impressive. The Commander guy that they have alongside her is growing on me too, he's not as impressive as Cara and Thomas but I kinda wanna see what his character does.

Love what David Strathairn is doing with the character. Pretty crazy to think this was him 26 years ago.

Drummer has become one of my favorite characters. I just figured she would be a bit player. Glad she has become such a big part of the show. No idea if this lines up with the books
I do too. Then again I tend to like him in pretty much any part I see him in. Dude's a solid actor.
Question for the book readers: Is Strathairn's character from the books or is it a stand-in for Dawes and/or Fred Johnson? From a story standpoint, it seems odd that at least one of those characters wouldn't be on this mission for the Belters/OPA. Cutty and older Will Robinson seem to work pretty steady on many projects so maybe those actors were not available for whatever reason so the writers just made up a guy or moved that story to a different character from future books.
(Yes I know I could look this up but I don't want to accidentally spoil anything and also I'm lazy)

Right. To clarify, Drummer is in the book, but the role Drummer is currently playing on the Behemoth were different characters in the book (she basically took 1, potentially 2, roles from the book in terms of her current duties on the ship. In the books, Drummer is still back on Tycho/the Solar System).
It isn't too surprising. In a book it is fairly easy to introduce tons of characters, but in a screen adaptation, it can make sense to merge characters so you don't have too many people to follow (or actors to hire/retain).

Double episode finale tonight. Based on one scene in the preview with Miller, it would seem to confirm this will wrap up book 3, so season 4 should should be book 4 (although I have to imagine they may try to slip in some book 5/6 stuff to give the other actors something to do that aren't involved in the book 4 plot).

Heh, they were fucking with book readers for a few pivotal scenes. Glad those scenes didn't play out the same way, because it would have been a shame to lose those characters (especially when you factor in book 5/6).
Awesome wrap to the season and a good segway into the next book.
