![]() Camina wakes up to find her ship has a new, large picture window. The ship bursts apart, only to reveal the Pella (previously thought to be in the main fleet facing Avasarala), which unleashes hell on the Belters. This allows her to notice, albeit too late, that the freighter is not just a freighter. Walker convinces her to leave the freighter alone to steal from it later. But we all know she doesn’t like to miss an opportunity to be in command.Ĭamina’s role in the battle is to lead the Belters to take down one of Marco’s battle groups, which includes a freighter. Avasarala takes a position at the front of the line for strategic purposes, according to her. Avarsarala isn’t impressed with this strategy, complaining we’ve been “massing battleships since the age of sail.” Or, in other words:Īlong with the typical battle formation, Holden plans to take the Rocinante and attach it to a hauler called the Giambattista to get them close enough to Medina to storm the gates and take control of the rail guns. We learn Inaros has three battle groups, so Earth, Mars, and the Belt will send three groups in return to meet him. The first scene with the Secretary-General sets the action in motion. Quite frankly, while I found the Laconia plot interesting, its lack of overall relevance was frustrating. If the entire Laconia plot exists to show why Admiral Duarte denies Marco his weapons and access to the colonies, that makes sense, but then why is the focus on Cara? Given Amazon knew they weren’t continuing with the show after season 6, why not take some creative liberties and alter some plotlines to provide us with more closure? Hopefully, this “leave plotlines open in hopes another studio will pick it up” approach does not indicate what we should expect from shows in the future. There’s speculatio n there is hope for a spin-off or another studio to pick up a seventh season that’s why. Cara’s brother has clearly been infected with the protomolocule (given his eyes and sight match that of Holden’s when he was infected), but what does that have to do with the rest of the season? Why include this at all? The story arc surrounding Laconia is somewhat confusing in its purpose. Rather than having a couple of open-ended questions that are fun to muse on, the show leaves us a few dangling ends that lack that satisfying tug of a thread knotted. The finale of Amazon Prime’s The Expanse, entitled “Babylon’s Ashes,” gives us some fantastic fights but leaves us with a space container of unanswered questions.ĭid I enjoy the final episode? Immensely.ĭid it leave me somewhat frustrated? … yes.
