Theory on Slow Zone (POTENTIAL SPOILERS)
If willing to read through potential spoilers, please scroll down.
Probably stretching this conversation too much (& obviously overexaggerating) but in the Season 6 opening scene, specifically at minute 0:42 in the video below, we see the Ring station glowing, with 2 points of what seemingly is light going through or making contact with at least 2 rings, alongside a caption reading "Medina Station" near the top right corner, on a stream of light. Now, my theory probably sounds pretty dumb & extremely ambitious, but do you think it's possible the Slow Zone catastrophe happens in Season 6?
There's a beam of what possibly is light, a caption that reads "Medina Station", even though it literally points to that beam of light, while at the same time, the Ring station is glowing? Even if that's not enough, in the last episode, Holden asks Bobbie about ships going missing, specifically the Barkieth. Is this possibly pointing to a deeper plot? Let me know what you think, I might've just cracked something in the plot (probably not, but we'll see...)
