The Expanse 3x05 full-length reaction
🕑 Added 2025-09-26 15:56:01 +0000 UTCWatched on: Prime (US)
For 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.

No issue with desync here.

Spot on analysis of the protomolecule's intentions. Recall when Katoa "disassembled" his nurse, he (or rather the protomolecule speaking through him) said "inherent to repurposing, disassembly reveals useful pathways," and later he confirmed when asked by Mao that he was also speaking about the Arboghast (science ship investigating the Venus crash site that also got disassembled). And then his somewhat rambling description of finding parts, separating them into "use" and "not use" and using them for "the work." Proto-Julie spoke of The Work as well. So the clues were all there; good job in putting them together. Of course, we don't know what The Work is yet, but it definitely involves building something for some as-yet unknown purpose.
