from JKL Media Podcast

JKL Media Reviews discusses The Expanse Season 2 finale, "Caliban's War," with hosts Karen, Jesse, and Lou praising its season-finale feel, character payoffs, and key set pieces. They highlight the striking Venus sequence where the Arbogast is disassembled by the protomolecule, noting Iturbe and Janice's banter and Adam Savage's cameo as the navigator, and speculate about the missing Mars ship and the moving crater. On the Mao ship, Chrisjen, Cotyar, and Bobbie navigate a standoff tied to Errinwright and Mao, with Bobbie retrieving her suit and saving the day. On the Rocinante, Prax's botanist insight helps lure and destroy the protomolecule hybrid while Holden, pinned and facing compartment syndrome, says potential goodbyes; Amos and Naomi confront their conflict. The episode ends with Naomi revealing she gave the protomolecule to Fred Johnson, threatening her relationship with Holden, while Strickland is shown on Io with May alive in a pod.
