The perfectly acted scenes of Amos’s trip to Baltimore also unearth in me a rather fervent need for Amos to find love again. The same doesn’t seem to be true of Marco Inaros.

It is laced in an understanding that to get to this conversation, our beloved Amos had to go through unimaginable pain. This bit of dialogue helps us understand so intimately how Timothy came to be Amos, the most loyal man in the worlds. You can pretend to love me enough to listen. Maybe you and I can imagine a version of me that is good, and kind, and wise. LYDIA to TIMOTHY/YOUNG AMOS: I love you Timothy, but I am not righteous. I am sucker for hardened characters finding their soft, so both Amos’s and Drummer’s arcs really hit to spot for me on “Churn,” and “Mother.” That is a testament to the richness and specificity to which these characters have been drawn. The conversations explore, dig deeper into, and clothe the identities and relationships on the show.Įven though there are not any big reveals in the dialogue, it feels surprising. ![]() In fact, because there is so much action and suspense going on in the universe of The Expanse, the drama doesn’t come from the dialogue.

I could write a thousand page dissertation on The Expanse Season 5 Episode 1, “Exodus”, Episode 2, “Churn,” and Episode 3, “Mother.” But, no one wants all that! It is just the gravity defying storytelling we have come to expect from the saved-by-Amazon series. Like the Rocinante crew coming back from the brink of annihilation, The Expanse Season 5 accomplishes the seemingly impossible on the first three episodes: it improves upon perfection.
