I am really liking this show. I just finished episode #3 and wow am I having a hard time understanding what's going on. I am sticking with this one through to the end but I sure hope there's a light bulb moment for me here in the next few episodes when I finally have some idea of what's going on.

Episode 5 last night. The shock scene of the week was the culmination of the origin of the Butcher. I guess Naomi knew something of his origin, which is why she was hesitant to go to Tycho.

Finale is next week and I'm really enjoying this. Separate storylines converge at yet another new station filled with a new population, only for our two protagonists to meet and then discover Julie Mao. I'm still wondering what is that living mass and who is commanding the stealth ships, dammit! Hope that it comes back for more seasons though the lack of posts on here isn't heartening.

Aside, SyFy's promos for new shows look pretty well done. It was only a few years ago that they were trying to distance themselves from the sci fi genre.

The show was renewed for 13-episode season two a while back.

The finale should be interesting. I was quite surprised to see Julie Mao looking like she did in Episode 8.
I was glad that Miller and Holden finally got together. I hope they will compare notes in the next episode.

I guess with 13 episodes in season 2 they might be aiming to finish the first novel. (I haven't read it, but I heard they have a long way to go.)

Wow. How long until Season 2?

I appreciated for the extended recap / explainer at the start of the finale.

The two big questions: What is this proto-molecule? And what is the relationship with it and the provocation of war between Earth and Mars?

Nice final two episodes of the season. It seemed that Mao's group provoked the war between Earth and Mars to distract from the experiments they were going to conduct with the proto-molecule on Eros.

I loved the books, but wondered how this would come off as a series; and let me just say: the freaking nailed it. This is one of the better pure Science fiction series I've seen in a while; this show really has a feel for it that is pretty rare in TV scifi, and it by the time we got through episode 4 I thought: "YES". Great finish, considering how much I love the second and third book in this series, I'm hoping they are as well done as the first season.

Good to hear. I've had Leviathan Wakes on my reading to-do list for a year or two, and had no idea until recently after I started the show that they were the same. I'm thinking of getting to Leviathan sooner than later, now.
