The Expanse Season 3 Finale Review: Congregation & Abbadon’s Gate | External Steel Pipe Shot Blasting Machine

Wolf & Wood built upon the success of A Chair in a Room with access to a franchise that’s practically perfect for the developer: The Exorcist. Legion VR’s episodic installments give the studio space to experiment and deliver new terrors across each of the five entries in this brilliant series. Again, the studio employs smart use of the psychological effects of VR to provide a wider sense of dread and turmoil instead of just resorting to the usual jump scare tactics. This is one VR tie-in that doesn’t disappoint.

- Solo was originally set to be directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (The Lego Movie) before they departed midway through filming due to creative differences. Veteran director Ron Howard took over and reportedly reshot 70 percent of the movie. – We’re probably reading WAY too much into this, but Solo’s "opening crawl" sure seems like an homage to the opening crawl from Blade Runner, which starred Harrison Ford. – We learn a few things about the Millennium Falcon from Solo. While Lando’s version of the ship is a lavish luxury freighter capable of incredible speeds and plenty of space to smuggle coaxium, we learn that it’s through Han’s…unique piloting skills that the Falcon transforms into the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.  One thing that’s different about the Falcon in Solo is the ship’s solid bow. In the Original Trilogy, the Falcon has a mandible design. We learn that the front of the ship once had an escape pod, which was detached by Han during the Kessel Run. The smuggler later modified the mandible to house a concussive missile launcher.  – The Falcon also has its circular radar dish knocked off during the Kessel Run. This is a reference to how Lando loses the Falcon’s radar dish during Return of the Jedi. Han definitely scratched the Falcon first, though. By The Force Awakens, the radar dish is now rectangular.  – The Falcon’s first chronological appearance in the film saga is in a brief cameo in Revenge of the Sith. It can be seen landing on Coruscant. The ship wasn’t called the Millennium Falcon yet at that point.  – The speeder Han and Qi’ra use to evade Lady Proxima’s thugs and the Empire is an M-68 landspeeder.  – The Corellian hounds that are sent after Han and Qi’ra are an homage to the Death Dogs in Willow, another movie directed by Ron Howard, according to co-screenwriter Jon Kasdan.  – One of the planets featured in the movie is Mimban, a muddy and rainy swamp world. The planet was first introduced in Splinter of the Mind’s Eye by Alan Dean Foster, the first Expanded Universe novel ever. It was also meant to be the setting of a low-budget "Star Wars II" had A New Hope not been a massive success. You can read way more about Mimban here.

Why is magma so hard to locate that volcanologists miss it, and energy companies hit it by accident? In short, existing tools for peering into solid ground are imperfect, and they get worse the deeper you look, said Peter Malin, a crustal seismologist and director of development at Asir Seismic in Dallas, who is working with Eichelberger and many other scientists to create the Krafla Magma Testbed facility in Iceland.

I quite enjoyed most aspects of this episode – new and re-introduced characters, acting, storytelling, pacing, depth, humour – it was all there. My, oh my, compared to “The Vulcan Hello”/”Battle at the Binary Stars” there was SUCH an improvement in tone. There’s one thing I keep missing though: A certain “hands-on” feel, a certain bit of realism. This episode in particular just made me wonder: Is there anything in this version of the Star Trek universe that’s not holographic or collapsible? We got holographic displays, holographic controls, holographic candles, holographic drawings, collapsible spacesuits, a collapsible… “gravity simulator”? You know, I won’t cry “CANON VIOLATION” at a bit of pre-TOS holo-tech – that would be silly. But hitherto, in Star Trek a glass of tea was just a glass of tea… or in regard to this episode: A candle was just a candle and an EV suit was just that: A suit that one had to put on. It’s just a bit too much fanciness for the sake of fanciness, if you know what I mean. This season may turn out superb, but those stylistic choices kinda take away from the overall picture.
