Surprisingly no one else said it, just me. Are we the only ones who were reminded of Babylon 5, god are we the only ones here that have seen both shows?
First time I saw the interior of Ceres, Babylon 5 sprang to mind. Especially the cop who reminds me of Garibaldi!
The one thing that has annoyed me though:
Other cop getting shot through the chest (heart?) with a spike gun. Thought that was a massive surprise killing him off and really clever bit of writing. Only in the next episode for him to be found alive. Really? How would you ever survive that? Unless he's an android...
My own thought was that he may have a lot of artificial enhancements. The dead guy had three or four cybernetic additions which Jane's partner described as normal.

slow down there soldier, that sounds way to logical
Great show so far, dare say better than Dark matter and Killjoys imo
Maybe I've been watching these too late at night when tired but nothing much happened in ep5 and it's still all a bit confusing. Dark matter had me hooked from the first couple of episodes, Killjoys is on my watch list.

I'm enjoying the show but I just realised that I don't really have a clue what's going on, I feel like I need a nice explanation as I'm a bit lost.
Haha, I thought the same, heres an explanation someone did on Reddit:
(Spoiler tags just incase)
(Spoiler tags just incase)
Super basic version: its 200 years in the future. People live all over our solar system, not just earth. Earth and mars are the two super powers and there is a cold war going on (think US vs Soviet union). There are also some belters (lower class workers living out in the asteroid belt) who have started their own wannabe goverment "The OPA". The OPA fight for the right of self government for the belt.
Someone is trying to start a war between earth and mars. Holden and company are caught in the middle of this conspiracy. Miller is looking for the lost daughter of some rich guy. This daughter (Julie Mao) is somehow connected with all thats going on. And on Earth Chrisjen Avasarala (Indian lady with the lovely colorful sari) is trying to figgure out what the hell is going on while also trying to stop earth from being pulled into a war.
In the last few episodes; Holden and co have gotten their hands on a small Martian warship and renamed and disguised it with the help of Fred Johnson, who is a high ranking OPA leader. Now they are going on a mission for him. Miller has been digging too deeply into the case of Julie Mao, attracting the attention of powerful people in the big conspiracy, leading to him almost getting killed and losing his job as a police detective.

Nice, thanks. Silly question but why does Miller supposedly love Julie Mao as he was accused of doing so last episode?
I thought he was accused of trying to collect a large reward from her rich father if he solves the case.

In the last episode where he was tied up and having a chat with his captor the bloke said something like 'oh I see it now you're in love with her', which is weird cause as far I understand he never met her.
