![]() ![]() He feels entitled because of his name while simultaneously feeling inferiority and guilt over his role in Earth’s devastation. Likewise, Filip’s desperate attempts to gain respect are both misguided and poorly executed. The motorized asteroids are distractions while he consolidates power, but his need for validation will be his undoing. Not that Marco seems to be good for much beyond speeches and verbal abuse towards his son, Filip. Hopefully, a mission is about to unfurl to remove a key element of Marco’s plan. The idea of a spotter ship sending signals to send each wave of modified rocks toward Earth is both terrifying and fortuitous, given that the Rocinante stumbled upon an active weapon just as the signal arrived, allowing Naomi to trace it to its source. ![]() The adventure on the asteroid did provide a small bit of action for this otherwise expository episode of The Expanse.
