Linking up Christian and the Roci crew is something worth suspending disbelief for. Hoping they do something meaningful with it, and it isn't just used for convenient drama.

It's also worth noting that, here on Earth, you can get a large variety of accents in a relatively small space. There are over 40 regional accents/dialects in Britain alone, and you can drive across the entire country in under a day. In the solar system it can take over a year to get from one side to the other.

I was thinking Dead Space game. But no!

The Belter accents are scattered all around the asteroid belt and small family-owned ships. It's not like earth or Mars where everyone is close together or even different parts of the same rock in space. You're gonna end up with quite the range of accents, and then depending on how well off you were able to get, you'd have a different class-based lilt or dialect too. Naomi's backstory is revealed more later, but without spoilers for anything, she was able to attend university for engineering, which is rather high class for Belters. Whether she was born to that station or bootstrapped herself there, she was able to attend university formally and mix it up with other higher class students for four years, so it makes sense in a way that no matter how thick her native dialect would have been, she would have been exposed long enough to learn how to pass for Belter "high society".

I didn't realize the US was smaller than Jamaica. The more you know

This episode had my jaw on floor with, but if you don't care about space battles at all, it'd be diminished. Even then, pretty good interactions with the crew on our plant.

"Some dead space" in the intro? One could even say... "an expanse".

Worf and Riker Ride Again

Don’t worry guys, just like all Expanse plot threads, the two you didn’t care for as much start off slow but become an integral part of the story. The Pinus Contorta (terrible name, Prax) thread is always be there being awesome.

One of the best episodes of the entire show. Also, one of the best space combat scenes ever put on film or TV. The guys might have missed it though, laughing and handwaving over the top of it. And yes, the realistic use of physics with the tools flying about while the ship maneuvers...perfectly illustrates what's going on. Its just fucking spectacular that something like this made it past all the morons and actually got made. Thank god for The Expanse.

Regarding accents; keep in mind that there are hundreds of different accents and dialects in America, and the country covers 8000 square kilometers. The belt is spread over trillions times trillions of cubic kilometers.
