So I finished watching the first season and now I have a few question. Just to be safe, I put them in spoilers, but I guess they could be discussed openly? Anyway, I dont want start reading wikis, so I hope someone here is enough into this show to bother answering 
+ Show Spoiler + What was the point of these italians? Does it have connection to the rest of the show besides presenting martian border control as a threat?
Anyway, that was just a side question: More important is that I struggle to make sense of what was going on with the scopioli and the anubis (I hope theses are the same names in the original version as in the german one):
1. So what starts everything is Juli Mao on board of the scopioli trying to intercept a science vessel (supposedly carrying a secret weapon, turning out to be the blue cyberspores) from Phoebe to ......... where exactly near the edge of the solar system?
2. However, the Scopioli then gets attacked and taken over by the anubis which was...... secretly escorting the science vessel?
3. The anubis then leaves the scopioli to send a distress signal while the science vessel disappears? Why would they do this? Am I completely misunderstanding something here and the science vessel never existed/was just a bait and all of this was made to happen by Julies Dads corporation to start a war?
4. But then how did the blue glow get on board of the anubis where it was later found by Holden and his crew?
5. And where did the crew of the anubis go? Absorbed by blue glow?
6. How did Cutty, I mean, Fred Johnson learn about the location of the anubis?

Ooff, going from memory here, but no, this didn't have anything directly to do with Jules Pierre Mao. Julie Mao was rebelling against her family and was working with the OPA. Seeing as she was on the Anubis, she could tell Fred Johnson where it was in a distress call. The Scopuli was an OPA ship, transporting the protomolecule (not sure how the belters got their hands on that, maybe Julie Mao did have something to do with that) to Eros (where it also, conveniently, ended up). It got attacked by the Anubis (not made clear how the Anubis knew where to find the Scopuli: perhaps they could track the protomolecule somehow?). The crew of the Anubis got infected and died of the protomolecule, so yeah, "absorbed".
Jules Pierre Mao was funding experiments with weaponizing the protomolecule which he would sell.

Aren't the italians just that random filler episode where they get stopped by the martian patrol. There turns out to be a spy on board, shit goes all kinds of wrong with a code they cannot find, or a bomb, or something, and everybody is saved in the nick of time, and everything goes on exactly as it was before, but wasting 1 episode? Yeah, that was an utterly pointless filler episode. But honestly, I don't know if those were italians or not. That was the only really really obvious filler episode I remember.

Think they might be referring to Diogo and his uncle? In which case yes, Diogo pops up now and again

Last episode was confusing but still interesting. And I got like ton of questions :O Although I hope no one gonna spoil anything with discuss.
Ep8
+ Show Spoiler +So in the end every single charade Miller was telling to Holden made sense, kinda. Rookie was a pilot of a starhelix jet crashed into the ring (clean up the corners and come slowly, if you come too fast - the room eats you, so ring is a "room"). At this point Miller somehow nested into those small chunk of protomolecule on a ship with permanent death/life cycle? As he said, he's only an "investigator" now and want's a ride. He's a tool and he finds things, but what does it even mean, it's like he became a protomolecule probe to float in open space. "It reaches out 113 times a second but nothing answers, so it builds the investigator, but he does not find, it kills the investigator over and over again. And then it build the investigator again and again. Until he finds a door, what wasn't there before " And now we know "they" or "it" exists, since they "killed" Miller when he exceeded boundary conditions whatever it means. As for the rest he said, sector 18 and unlicensed brothel must also mean something or it was just a memory flashback? Give me next episode

If you don't want to be book spoiled, just don't ask. This follows the book very accurately.

Yea, allright. I'd better blow my mind with thoughts and wait for fresh ep, because it worth waiting

The ending of episode 8 is such a suspense...
|
|
|
It's good to know there's some good left in this world
Maybe someone can also save Firefly and Almost Human?
|
The Expanse is the FireFly I really wanted anyways. It has a direction and shit to say.
|
Well, Firefly had definitely less issues with pacing... This is my biggest gripe with The Expanse so far, some episodes seem like just filler and some stuff (mostly politics) is just dragged out too much.
|
Good episode, but man the god/speech writer lady is boring. First time I actually skipped parts of the episode; I just can't listen to her blab on.
|
True, i too skip her for the most part.
|
I did not like the episode, but I would never skip anything in a series I watch.
|
I cant helpit... once i start cringing i skip. i cringe a lot too
|
The true scope of the story is finally starting to show itself, awesome stuff.

Really makes you appreciate the fact that Amazon picked it up, thinking that it all might've ended at the edge of something so potentially fantastic.
Really enjoyed the double episode final too, this show feels much better when the episodes aren't constrained to the strict 40-minute timeslot
