"The Juice" ... When Alex is piloting the Razorback, and he says, Here comes the juice", to whoever's sitting behind him, how is the liquid introduced into their bodies? They never say (or show any tubes anywhere)? Just wondering -- since the concoction seems to be very important to the team members' survival, I'd like to see the details addressed. Thanks.
What's on your mind?

Okay, so everyone can agree that the corvette class frigate is meant to act partially as an escort ship for larger vessels. This is part of the reason that the tachi was deployed with the Donager.
We can also all agree that the corvette class frigate is an extremely powerful and effective ship, and I am sure that captain Yao of the MCRN Donager was aware of this too...
So why in the hell (other than plot convenience) would the tachi just be sitting in the docking bay like it was?
Imo if it had deployed and done it's job, the martians arguably could have won the fight (or at least stood a much better chance).
So yeah, if anyone has a good reason, lore, book or show for this, please do share.
This has always bugged me lol

FAN ART COLLABORATION? - When I first discovered this game I was absolutely useless but after some practice.. I’ve been able to build realistic Ships from the Expanse but was looking for any Kerbal PC players in this community that can help me build them for the PC Version along with the list of ships I’ve yet to complete (I am solely an XBOX console player). so that any & all expanse fans can download the craft file and Traverse the Solar System at witness the sheer speed at which these ships Accelerate at!? Non profitable btw. Send me an email dislexii@gmail.com
Having watched and loved this entire show, it has been on my mind. There are, however, many things that stick in my craw about the first two seasons. Mainly concerning the protomolecule conspiracy. Wondering if anyone can help me out here.
mau/protogen want to cultivate and study the protomolecule by unleashing it on Eros. The UN and MCR would normally prosecute this plan, so the mars/earth standoff has to be escalated in order to get away with it. To this end, they want to cause an international incident via a false flag attack on a freighter. So they aquire (or build) a martian distress beacon as bait, and build a small fleet of next gen gunships out of MCR tech.
Assuming all of this was planned before Julie tried to throw a wrench in things by attacking the Anubis, the Scopuli could not have been part of the original scheme. Improvisation? Did they decide to use the Scopuli as bait after they had captured her to add fidelity to the plan, instead of just sticking the beacon on an asteroid or inside one of the gunships? Perhaps they had another way to get a shipwreck they could use but Julie just gave them one so they said fuck it? Awkward.
The Canterbury comes, the plan is almost thwarted by the crew deciding to ignore the beacon. Lopez claims that it is common for ships to just wipe the logs and ignore distress calls, so presumably mau/protogen know this. Maybe they set up along a shipping lane knowing that eventually someone would check it out, since it only matters that it’s an earth corp ship, not necessarily the Cant in particular? They couldn’t have accounted for Holden’s altruism. Im assuming they don’t want to wait forever for a white knight to come along and are on some kind of time table.
In order to frame mars, it is essential to let survivors recover the fake beacon. So the gunship waits for Holden and Co. to pick up the beacon, nukes the canterbury, then burns out of there. Im willing to forgive the plan being put in jeopardy by the resulting debris almost killing the shuttle before holden can frame the MCRN, its a weird small thing for the conspirators to account for. Still kind of funny.
Then we get to the attack on the Donnager…?
The closest I can think as to why they would try to kill holden is they did not account for him sending his little skype call and it becoming a news sensation. Maybe they assumed he would be picked up by authorities, turn over the beacon, be debriefed, and sent on his way. From that point on the narrative would be in the hands of bloodthirsty politicians who would most likely call for war. The message turned Holden into a belt celebrity instead of just some space trucker, so if he recanted his accusation publicly it would actually be taken seriously… making him a liability?
Enough of a liability to attack the Donnager? Given the fact that the attack BARELY succedes at all, and if it hadn’t it would have just confirmed the MCR had nothing to do with the Canterbury? It seems extremely reckless that they would do this. Did they just assume that their stealth ship was so sneaky that it would not be seen at all, therefore no one would be able to connect the two attacks? It doesn’t seem like Holden and Co. did anything spectacular to get a good look at the ship that nuked the Cant.
Its already a spot of whimsy that Julie accidentally carries out the Eros plan, but it’s also emotionally tragic and crucial to what happens later. Makes for a good story. I suppose it just becomes harder to swallow as the other contrivances pile up.
At any rate, that’s all i can think of right now.

I was on the Barkeith page today and noticed that the Slideshow won't expand into a larger version of the image. Anybody else notice this?
SYFY Channel cancels another great series. ;-(
Good news is Amazon picks it up for S4. But does that mean no downloadable format will be offered ... such as iTunes? Amazon currently allows no downloadable subscriptions or purchase for film content.
The Ring Builders have quite a few names (Ring Builders, alien civilization, hive-minded aliens, Gate makers, Creators, etc.), which, I believe, requires that we set up a naming convention. How about we call them the Precursors from now on? I only see it fitting since they were the precursor civilization to humanity and colonized an area 1,000-ly wide long before Earth developed what is to be considered complex life.
Just finished Persepolis, and there is a line at the end I'm trying to make sense of. Naomi, talking to Alex, says:
"Or on Marais, when he went into the cliffs so we wouldn't run out of water?"
But for the life of me I don't know what she is talking about. I don't think it's from a Novella. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Season 3 is due to arrive soon. While no premiere date is known yet, We do know that coverage of Caliban's War will be completed, likely the conclusion will coincide with episode 6. As I recently did for Persepolis Rising, I want to piece together all the potential wiki pages that need to be included on this wiki. It'll serve to publicize not just what missing but also serve as an index to other information introduced from Caliban's War.
This will be considered the fourth in a series of lists on topics which need articles from Caliban's War. This is a list of articles in the "Characters" category. The full list of categories for Persepolis Rising can be found here.
If you want to help our The Expanse fan community, check this list and add content to these articles. If the article doesn't exist yet, please create it.
If you have questions on naming conventions or formats, please refer to the manual of style, compare with existing articles, and ask here.

'THE EXPANSE RPG' DEBUTS AT GEN CON by Nicole Bunge on January 17, 2018 @ 4:32 pm CT
So , I'm just trying to figure out what really happened in the end of BA. Is there a kinetic energy limit in the Slow Zone?
In the final conversation between Duarte and Holden in Persepolis Rising, Duarte suggests that the weird alien ball thing is related to the "missing ships". By "missing ships" does he mean the ships that disappear when traveling through the rings if too much/mass and energy is/has gone through them?
I was under the impression that the overload of the rings that causes ships to disappear was a natural consequence of ring gate usage, not some kind of alien sabotage.
Thoughts?
