Episode 25
Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast that is normally about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, but today we are continuing our coverage of the main Expanse narrative with the third set of chapters of CALIBAN'S WAR, also by James S.A. Corey. This episode is spoilers for the entire Expansiverse!
In this episode:
- BOBBIE DRAPER AND CHRISJEN AVASARALA MEET AT LAST.
- Just like Han, Prax shoots first. Hilarity ensues!
- We get one of the few chapters that takes place Out In The World On Earth before the rocks drop, and it's a fascinating exploration of Red State/Blue State perceptions vs. realities.
- Holden orders some casual murders.
- Amos dies for the first time (Ding!)
- Clint talks about political philosophy, childhood trauma, and the banality of government work.
- Brigid explains how Holden wobbles between Captains Shackleford and Ahab, and details how all of our main characters are missing the forest through the trees.
- The Gang Escapes Ganymede, but no one escaped trauma.
Join us next time when we cover the fourth part of CALIBAN'S WAR, where the Roci Crew have a lil stowaway.
