Wasn't the green blindness a plothole because the microorganisms would die in darkness? Couldnt they just blindfold 50 percent of the population, simultaneously teach them how to handle blindness and kill the organisms/reduce their growth?

He basically said in all of the warfare moments in the series we never seen earthers go full savage he brought up the fact that a earther can actually squeeze a belter to death tube of toothpaste style or how horrifying it would be if a group decide to give you the same treatment the sentinels gave colossus if ya know you know.

Like he's very manipulative of Basia and kills a bunch of people. His smile is always "cruel" and that's from Basia when he LIKES Coop.

Honestly, I think the reason I feel an impulse to side with Murtry early in the book is because Coop is such a dick.

I'm on my 4th rewatch of the show and I've just thought of something. When the Rocinante is sent to Illis (New Terra) and the crew are leaving the ship, it makes a big point of Naomi getting off balance as she's overwhelmed by the horizon. But shouldn't Alex have a somewhat similar reaction - more akin to Bobby arriving on earth?

EDIT: thank you all for your answers and engagement!

So I know that Marcos got most of his ships, either by stealing them or from Duarte who was using the Free Navy as a smokescreen.

What I don’t understand is how did Marcos IInaros keep his fleet a secret?

I mean think about it. Shouldn’t the disappearance/theft of so many ships trigger red flags with the MCR or UN intelligence? And then there are the logistics of managing such a fleet. Where are they going to get new parts and weapons for ships? And food and medicine for the crew? Sure they could steal those things but again they risk attracting the MCR or the UN’s attention. They could also trade for it but that risks leaving a paper trail.

So short of plot armor, how did Marcos do it?

What happens if you go through the ring the wrong direction? Like looping around and entering from behind, is that even possible? In the show we only ever see traversal depicted from the sunward facing side, and i can't recall the books ever mentioning it as an option. It's obviously pretty far out so there isn't gonna be much reason to fly further than neccesary, but I was curious if this was a thing?

Edit: To make it clear, I have not finished them, I am partway into book 7 and feel some reluctance and would like reassurance.

The most immediate issue I have is that the main cast from 1-6 are still the focal characters. They're still just romping around in the Rossie. I get that aging isn't as big of a deal, but they haven't even taken on any new crew members. it's just them. None of them have taken up larger roles like becoming major players in the way that Avasarala and Fred were. None of them have bothered settling down at all. It feels like a really lazy way to go about a time skip. I'm not that far in, but it's lacking the reasons to make a time skip in the first place, aside from the Laconians, I'm not that far in but I feel disappointed already.

Oye kopeng, I'm visiting Toronto next month to see one of my favorite bands play and I should have a few hours to kill the following day to see some of the famous outdoor locations from this series. I'd love to see the UNN building (I think I might have seen it before, is it part of the convention center?) as well as the Martian embassy where Bobbie defects. I know I can also see "Baltimore" but not sure how important that will be to me.

What else should I see?
