geebsTV commentary:
The Expanse- Villain! Errinwright, you evil bastard! Since Chrisjen Cotyar, and Draper are still being besieged at the ill-fated meet, Errinwright hangs all his crimes on Chrisjen. Not only that, he manipulate the president into declaring war on Mars.
Of course, for his plans to work, Chrisjen needs to die. With the help of that random officer guy Bobby captured, they're able to avoid being killed- Bobby flies Chrisjen off in Julie's racing ship that happened to be in the docking bay. However, since it only seats two (well, there's actually room for more than two people, but there's only seats for two, and anyone not in the special seats would basically be turned into paste by the g-forces), Cotyar and tech officer guy eject from the ship before its destroyed to buy them some time.
On the Rocinante, thinks are incredibly awkward following Naomi's betrayal. But, she manages to convince the gang that they should head back to Tycho and meet up with Johnson. Heh, of course she would suggest that, but its also their only play. So everyone else reluctantly agrees. But then Holden notices some weird protocol molecule behavior going through past logs.
In particular, he noticed a blip in a Mao facility around the same time they torched that one creature (which speaking of, the gang repairs the ship, cleaning it of any protomolecules, but they missed a spot!) So maybe because he really cares, maybe just to spite Naomi, he's all, "Hey Prax, your daughter might be here, let's go check it out!" and Alex and Amos are all, "Yeah, investigating a mysterious base that might be full of alien monsters is preferable to Tycho!"
But yeah, poor Naomi, they basically ignore her protests when they come to that decision. Speaking of Tycho though, yeah, Johnson finds Drummer wallowing in drink. She backed Johnson instead of Dawes because she believed he was a better choice to lead the Belters to something good compared to Dawes terrorism. But then Naomi gave Johnson the protomolecule. They manage to work it out though, as Fred says he needs her back as his number two.
Also, they mention salvaging the Nauvoo and turning it into a huge warship to give the Belters something to fight back with.
Criminal Minds- Interesting, though I'm not sure it exactly tracks. Ah, so Garcia's last name finally makes sense. I was never sure if she was just a really Caucasian looking Hispanic, or what, but it turns out her stepfather was Hispanic. But yeah, I'm surprised she has three brothers! Have they ever mentioned them before? Because ah'm skeptical! Like I can believe her dropping out of college and becoming hacker girl if she had no one, but apparently she had three brothers! Some of which were still kids! I can't believe she'd abandon them!
I do think we've heard before how her parents died because they were out looking for her since she missed curfew. But what we didn't know was that when she got back, she saw a note from them expressing their disappointment, so in that one moment, she wished they wouldn't come home so she wouldn't have to deal with them. And then they didn't. Wow, that must be one of the most horrible things ever, to carry that with you- one errant thought that came true.
So the drunk driver who killed her parents was up for parole, and her brothers want her to speak at the parole hearing and to keep him in. But Penelope sees the guy is very apologetic, and he talks of one stupid mistake that he wishes he could take back. Which makes her guilty, because she also think if she hadn't broken curfew, they wouldn't have been out looking for her, and would be fine.
And so she tells the board he's paid for his crimes, upsetting her youngest brother. And she reveals to him that their parents were looking for her, that's why there were out. But argh, Penelope visits her parents grave at the end, and she says she'll fix things between her and her brothers, but the ep ends before we see that! I was hoping to see things work out!
