I'm not really clear on why the turbolift would fall in the first place... Is that a gravity plating thing? I guess gravity plating must work without power?

Also Picard knew it was going to fall... are we to infer he'd rather be pancaked than spend another moment with those kids?

I really need to watch the expanse.

It's an interesting show, but make sure you've got good sound: I found the accents difficult to parse without it. The series was abruptly terminated, so don't expect a neat ending.

I use subtitles for everything, because I'm hard of hearing, but thanks for the warning!

And that sucks. It's based on a book series, yeah? If I'm super invested, hopefully I can get my fix like that.

It wouldn't surprise me, but I don't know off hand whether The Expanse was based on a book series.

The ending was decent. It ended right where the book series it's based off of has a 30-year time skip, so it worked out pretty well for them. They have plenty of time to come back to it and still keep continuity with actors too FWIW.
