The Expanse - Roccinante Crossing the Ring 

Holden: "Because Miller told me" Amos: 👁👄👁

“Doesn’t matter… he gave us 1 minute…. And 1 minute is all we’re gonna get.” LOVE his delivery of that line.

Scrolling through the comments and I'm surprised to see no one gives Clinton Shorter credit for the amazing soundtrack that gives this scene 1000% more epicness

That scene of Amos trusting Holden against his better instincts is easily best moment of acting by both Wes Chatham and Steven Strait in the entire series. Holden imploring Amos to trust him and Amos’s expression clearly showing a hurricane of internal conflict before deciding to give him only a single moment. That one single moment was the clear culmination of Amos and Holden’s unusual friendship with each other, come to fruition in one quiet moment of tension, and everyone involved with the production of this scene should be extremely proud with how well executed it was.

This was one of the best adaptations from the book. The scene is incredible and so so tense.

I really think this is one of the best cliffhanger moments in a TV show I can think of. In part because it so easily could have been so bad. If they cut the episode at 8:13, it would have been stupid - of course the crew of the Roci isn't about to die but we have no idea what we're waiting for. Instead, we get a real mystery: they aren't dead, but why on earth would a missile stop? If a TV show wants to do a cliff hanger, this is how to do it. Looking at you, Walking Dead.

5:17 new favorite shot from any TV show ever, damn. The halo of blue light and the way the door seems to suggest a wing-like structure behind him. Miller's ghost, the angel of the protomolecule.

That moment when Holden finally realizes what Miller was trying to say with doors and corners is great.

The most epic scene in the show. Never bored to return watching this scene

My late father DID like OG Star Wars, enjoyed OG Star Trek and even the new movies but usually it was an excuse to eat popcorn and drink cola in a dark theater. At home, we'd barely watch sci-fi stuff because him and I would just sit there and tear the logic holes wide open - then the Drinker recommended The Expanse and I have to say, he DUG IT! He lived long enough to finish the series and wanted to find out if they might be cooking up a movie. Miss ya pop, miss you a lot.

the fact this whole thing was calm asf and all of a sudden the show goes from 0-1000 was so insane

3:08 Steven Straight is such an amazing actor and he often gets overshadowed in a series full of great performances. But his performances as Holden is the glue that holds this series together, he's so good.

My God, this scene had me nearly shitting bricks. So tense, so well shot, such great music and camera angles, and that shot of The Investigator! This is a Master class in what good shows do. Just breathtaking.

This has to be one of my favorite episodes of show. The intensity just gets higher and higher. The score is perfect and the great acting from everyone showing the stress of the situation!

I can't count how many times I replayed the flip and burn before entering. Probably the best maneuver in the Expanse

One thing that I don't really see people mention is how quickly Alex inputs the commands to execute the maneuver Holden ordered him to do, at 7:04. That's a pretty complicated maneuver, and I'm sure it takes more than a couple of clicks to plot it. So that means... That he had plotted the maneuver previously, and he's only confirming it in that moment. That means that despite reacting like Holden's out of his mind and saying "No fucking way!", he already starts plotting the maneuver as soon as Holden speaks it out, just in case they end up actually following that crazy order. To me, that speak to the level of trust that Alex, and the whole crew, have in Holden. They've been through hell together, and if he orders them to fall into it at breakneck speed again, they're gonna do it.

that part when he said 'miller told me', you just know no one is going to understand/believe him. proper crazy talk right there, but was the absolute truth. brilliant!

You know what I LOVE about The Expanse as a scifi show? Not only about how it uses grounded physics and no horse-shit magic technology like Star Trek, but also how DYNAMIC ships move about in space. Constant use of RCS thrusters, flip and inverting ship orientation, even the camera angles make every perspective amazing. Gods above I love this show.

God what a beautiful fucking scene. The furious roar of the epstien drive as they desperately break hard into the ring, deccelerate to almost zero velocity to enter the ring, you can also see the Roci turn to meet it's azimuth (I think), so that it decelerates perpendicular to the ring. , this scene is one I keep replying over and over again.

The buildup and reaction to because Miller told me is priceless.

Didn't even realize until the 20th rewatch...that torpedo is HUGE.

The moment the investigator shows up: goosebumps, every time!

By far one of the most tense, nail biting, and exhilarating moment in tv history. 💙

3:34 gives me chills every time

Does anybody else interpret the line (apart from what it means in the show) "you're going through the room too fast, kid... the room eats you" as a metaphor for life? That's just how it hit me, it felt nice to hear that. Not pausing or moderating yourself every once and a while, even during the most extreme circumstances... that can be dangerous.

5:30 is my favorite shot of all three seasons!

by far the most intense scene in the show. the sequence of events and direction built the most tension ive ever seen.

Watching this for the first time was one of the most intense things I have watched in a while!! One of the best shows I've seen in so so long.

3:31 When Amos' voice cracks, my hair went up.

I knew it! I knew Miller would return and I like where this show is heading. This might be the scifi equivalent to what Game of Thrones is for fantasy. I hope this will lead to a raise in numbers for scifi shows on tv. There's too much fantastic stuff out there to be cast aside for another NCIS spin-off or some other shit :D

This was one of the most intense moments in media I've ever seen. And I mean all the tv shows and movies I've seen.

The writing and execution here in this one scene is 1000 times better than the whole Star Wars franchise combined. I wish this series never ends.

You can tell Drummer is not an experienced ship combat captain, good captains don’t yell out things like fire. They stay calm and give orders in calm, measured directions so there is not confusion or panic.

Best SF show right now.

i was literallly holding my breath at the end! awesome.

Amos started out as a scary psychopath. Now we know he's a friendly, loyal psychopath. (Please don't @ me about how real psychopaths don't have the depth of feeling Amos clearly has, I'm using the word as shorthand for whatever disorder Amos has.)

The Holden deep fake was damn realistic

Was this as badass in the books as it was in the tv series? This has to be my favorite moment in all of scifi. I was holding my breath the whole time.

these scenes still hold up, My favorite from Season 3. still marvelous!

Drummer is bae

The only thing that came remotely close to this was Naomi’s space walk at the end of season 5 and this still blew that out of the water. Peak of the show no question.

I love the confluence factions that assembled at the gate; from Earth researchers and philosophers, to Belter terrorists trying to go legit, to the crew on the Roci, all smashed together with missiles flying and music rising. When the Expanse is good, it's REALLY good.

I love the idea of a news crew being aboard and having all this drama recorded for everyone to see after.

This show is perfection! Well acted and the science of space is a marvel.

When I watched this scene live on the syfy channel I legitimately thought that they were all going to die. Excellent scene.

This has to be THE BEST scene in sci-fi

3:01-3:03 If any quote sums up half the events of the first 3 books, it's that!!

It was the far one of the best series I saw in my lifetime.

God I miss this show! Already rewatched it so many times. So many epic moments!

Love how this scene now makes even more sense with AI deep fakes now becoming a reality.

Pretty much the most intense 10 minutes of the whole series.

This is one of the best scenes in TV history

"It's gonna be nasty!"

"Run into a room to fast kid...the room EATS you."

Y'know a big reason why this show is so good?---a reason you know but don't realize? Everybody's chemistry: None of it's forced and it all feels very real---which adds to the tension and compels you to be emotionally invested in what they're doing.

One of my favorite scenes In the entire show.

7:50 Amos smiling while everyone else is freaking out is perfect.

That season 5 finale got me like 7:21

Just epicness!

Thank you the rights holder for letting me monetize on this video

I like how the first thing Amos is told to do is keep the corridor clear, like he wasn’t doing anything. 😂

I really hope they bring this show back in like 10 years. I think the books jump forward in time so I think it would make sense in the larger storyline.

Best Show I have ever Seen! We need MORE!

Holden's generated sim was a foretelling of what's to come, with the proliferation of the use of AI.

I love Ashford, Hope he goes full pirate at some point

- Amos, all we've been through, how many times I've asked you to trust me? - ...none. - I'm asking you now. I "holy shit!!!!"-ed so much at that scene when I first saw it.

3:21 Wes deserves an Emmy for that "For what?" The confusion just radiates from it.

Damn going to need to do my third re watch of this amazing show

This show had me in s1e1 when Holden got on the comm and said, "this will be a high G manuever, prepare for flip and burn." And then put in a mouthguard and slammed some juice. Incredible adaptation

This show is so awesome there are no words!

man, i love ashcroft ! he is a great actor

What a great show!

This show... It's amazing. never have i been so emerged into a sci-fi series.

This show builds tension like no other

Season 3 of the Expanse is for me one of the best TV seasons ever put on screen!

keep this show up no matter what -thats an order

the martians thinking holden was responsible for anything inside the ring gate is preposterous. it's just dumb.

5:30 is my desktop background.

Filming deceleration scenes must've been hilarious on set. Everyone doing their best impression of a tremendously hard and dry attempt at a number 2.

Tough little ship

As a Show only fan, "WTF is going on?" It was so good

Who else is here after watching the recent Because Science episode on The Expanse?

Like Holden said to Teresa in 8th book, he wasn't a good man but loyal.

Good lord, I love this show

God I love this show!

The Expanse is Breaking Bad x 1,000!!!!

I never quite understood what is happening In this scene. But now there's a new phrase "deep fake". Which makes this all the more chilling with AI generation today.

God i love this show

Waiting patiently for @Nerdy Nightly to review this episode and freak out.

this was amazing

I want to fly the Rocci so bad 😀

Steven Strait would be a perfect cast for Marco Inarez... If he wasn't already playing Holden.

I kinda feel bad for the OPA. The only thing resembling a battleship they can build is the embodiment of "barks more than it bites" and falls apart when they fire its weapons. IIRC in the book they even mention that the Rocinante, a light attack ship, would be able to beat the Behemoth. I don't feel too bad though because the Behemoth being shit means the Donnager class is still the best type of ship in the system and I can still smugly stan Mars and look down on other factions. You can keep your overpriced mess, Belters. :P

I love the expanse, I love scfis but I've always wondered... why don't they have space mobile phones... quick call to holden outside of the ships communications... problem solved :D

The accent in this series is one of its trademarks.

I still wonder how the OPA made that fake video of Holden.

Epicness! I wish they had finished this show.

Just realised that behemoth lost power after lunching its missile.

God I miss this show

Imagine watching this on an imax with a Dolby atmosphere sound system, and an audio mix created by the same people that made Dune 2's audio mix.
