Cooling down and taking stock from the massive battle of episode 2.
Weapons of The Expanse – S2-E2
So we are back for the next episode of Season 2, and if the first had its fair share of weapons use, this one is practically bursting with firepower. Read on to see all the weapons used, and to learn how the Rocinante, a standard Martian corvette, was able to defeat a hyper-advanced secret stealth attack ship in a one-on-one engagement!

It is time to begin my recap of the second, very expansive season of - well, The Expanse.

This is kinda the big detective episode - everyone is hunting for clues - who killed the Donnager, who is Lionel Polanski, where is Julie Mao…! But that does not mean it is completely devoid of weapons action. The first instance is another «do as I say» moment with Holden threatening their stowaway spy, whereContinue reading "Weapons of The Expanse – S1-E8"
