![]() “Mars died the moment they discovered those new worlds,” he tells her. What follows is a wonderful scene where Martin, who at one point also shared the “all-in for Mars” patriotism gives Bobbie the truth a loyal soul like her has done everything to ignore the dream of Mars becoming a world with a breathable biosphere is over. She doesn’t trust Beltran (Tim Campbell), their military contact and approaches Martin with her concerns. This time, they expect a windfall payday which instantly puts her on guard. Though Michael Benyaer is passable, his intensity actually detracts from the power of this scene it would have been immensely better had George remained and Avasarala would have truly felt the shame.Ī few million kilometers away on Mars, Bobbie prepares for another job with Martin and his team. Though the pain dredged up from losing her son was genuine, using it to gain the upper hand and emphasize her convictions of the dangers of colonizing these Ring worlds, is a new low for her and as Arjun all but shouts the respect he’s lost for her, I, too, am in the same boat. After realizing Avasarala has leaked footage of the catastrophe on Ilus, Arjun confronts his wife only to find that she’s played everyone like a violin. Everything about her delivery-from the pain in her eyes to going off-script of her speech-is authentic and that resonates with everyone in attendance, even Gao. This oversight hamstrings the effectiveness of his confrontation with Avasarala but is quickly forgotten when she addresses families of the 12 marines at a memorial service.Īghdashloo is brilliant here, able to get in touch with the scarring nature of Avasarala’s of losing a child to war. Had he objected on the dangers of the breach, his castigation of Avasarala would have been justified instead, he’s nothing more than a cowardly Monday morning QB who, if he had reservations about the mission, has an obligation to his men and the success of the mission to express them along with a more effective contingency. It’s a bad look from McCourt who provided the two options but never argued for or against either. He blames her for the tragedy, forcing action without gaining the proper level of intel. To add to the flack from the news coverage and strikes by Gao, her political opponent, Avasarala is slammed by General McCourt (Benz Antoine, In the Dark, 19-2). Rather that end justifies the means is another story.Īfter the disastrous Pizzouza raid, Avasarala is facing her greatest surge of scrutiny. There’s no question that Avasarala’s tactics, while distasteful, worked. To accommodate this, “The One-Eyed Man” tackles all four plotlines and sets the table for what should be a fabulous final two. With only three episodes left in Season Four, there’s not much room to leave narrative segments out and gain a satisfactory conclusion to the individual arcs. “Age changes you in ways you don’t expect.”
