I'm both frustrated and loving the pacing of the show. We are on episode 6 and still not close to finding out what actually happened to Miss Mao, why the Water Cargo ship was destroyed, who attacked them and the Mars Miliatry ship, or how all of it is connected. Feel like I'm still in the first 3rd of reading a book and we're still setting up the story arc.
We do get some interesting scenes: The Dectecive getting kidnapped, tortured and almost killed in his quest to uncover Miss Mao's final destination, Jim and the crew join forces with a former military/now terrorist(?), and Avarsarala is still playing politics and power games.
Episode feels like it's setting up for finale or for a major story turn. Mainly being set up by Johnson as he enlists Holden to retrieve the lone survivor of the Scopuli... some Polanski dude... who the hell is he?!?! But this feels like a setup to the second half of the season, and the beginning of figuring out what really happen to the Scopuli.... and possibly Julie Mao.
The last scene at the Detective's headquarters with his boss removing him from the case and revoking his credentials was so unexpected.
One thing I don't understand how it's connected, is the kid and uncle on the iceship. How is the uncle's suicide and leaving his nephew behind connected to everything else?
