If we were in a movie theater as this was happening, it’s easy to imagine to collective gasps the entire audience would break into. You know those dreams where you’re screaming and no one can hear you but you finally wake up and realize it wasn’t real? That’s the feeling. The jaw-dropping complete silence followed by the muffled thud (as Amazon captioned put it), felt like the perfect kind of TV rush. I know at least four other people who had as much of a visceral reaction to that scene as I did and who were left enamored by its execution. The single shot close up of Naomi’s face as Bobbie spoke felt like it was something meant to comfort us as viewers. When Naomi left the ship, and the tear began floating after she had finished with the Belter codes, after she muttered “thank you,” we stopped breathing. Thank God, the writers, and mainly Bobbie Draper. Could she? Would they really do that? (We all got TV trust issues these days, don’t we?) But no, they wouldn’t. I’ve read Nemesis Game, so I knew she survived, I knew everything would be okay, but somehow watching it on-screen with the heightened, indescribably gripping visual effects freaked me out a bit.
No one wants to see their favorite character suffer, and no one wants to be put in a position where we’re clenching something (probably a pillow) praying to God that they make it.Īnd that was largely the case with Naomi.
A majority of the scenes in this latest season of The Expanse, especially when centered around Naomi were often hard to watch.
