The Expanse 2x06 full-length reaction
🕑 Added 2025-08-08 15:56:01 +0000 UTCFor copyright reasons, full-length reactions don't include the show or movie footage, so you'll need your own copy to watch along with me. Ideally, you'll need two screens or two browser windows. One for the reaction, and the other for the show you're watching. Using your phone is also viable to watch one of them.
As many different streaming services in different countries often play trailers or recaps before the show starts, the easiest way I've found to sync up footage is to find the first RECOGNISABLE frame (ie. not a black screen) of the episode. Don't worry, I'll show you the frame to look for at the beginning of each full-length reaction!
This will be:
✨The first frame of the opening credits.✨
OR
✨The first frame of the cold open.✨
Once you've found the approximate frame on your copy, pause it. Next, play the reaction and you'll see a countdown timer at the end of the intro and when the show is about to start. Press "play" on your copy when the timer reaches 0:00.
A small (but muted) portion of the show will stay on the screen to allow you to properly sync up your copy if you need to adjust it. The easiest way to eliminate any small discrepancies between the two is to rapidly pause and unpause the video that's ahead until both are running simultaneously.
Note: Some of my older shows might have the first frame after the opening credits.

You should rewatch the last scenes of episode 2x5 because Eros did not impact Earth. It shows a yellow planet being impacted, and Earth does not look like that. Pay attention to the computer monitors that the camera pans to. Whenever the camera pans to computer monitors, this show wants you to pay attention to what's being shown on the screens.

"Going a little bit far, but I get the passion" is a pretty accurate read on Chrisjen's rant. You gotta love the passion, because it IS warranted, but she is essentially promising she'll commit the war crime of collective punishment. It shows that she is still the same woman who was willing to torture that belter spy in S01E01 if it meant protecting her world. Regarding the ships over Ganymede, the UN and Mars each had people on the ground and ships in atmosphere (there were also the solar mirrors in orbit, which directed sunlight down to the agricultural domes, we saw those destroyed). Now, whether there were 3rd party people/ships there, I'll leave that to the show to reveal. Both sides had forces stationed there to protect the food supply, since UN and Mars are more or less on the verge of war. Comms being jammed and activity happening on the ground is likely to get some fingers pulling the trigger. The question is who initiated that ground conflict, and why? A great start to the 2nd half of season 2!
