Poetic Television Review: Remember the Cant (The Expanse, S1X03, 2015)

In the depths of space, a world unfolds,
A universe of intrigue, where allegiances hold.
The Expanse, a realm of politics and might,
Where nations vie for power, in the dark of night.

A subtle tone, a shift in pace,
As Remember the Cant, takes its place.
Less action, more exposition's sway,
World-building's richness, lights the way.

Three plots entwined, like threads of fate,
Each contributing to the narrative's weight.
Holden's desperate cry, a video's plea,
Sparks riots and resentment, in the Belt's decree.

On Mars, the Donnager's crew, in chains,
Interrogated, their secrets, like puzzle pieces, rearranged.
Holden's past, a complex tapestry, revealed,
A child of many mothers, with DNA unsealed.

Ava's machinations, a subtle art,
Manipulation's web, that reaches to the heart.
The OPA's shadow, a mysterious guest,
A thread in the narrative, that's hard to repress.

Chrisjen's concerns, a warning unheeded,
Franklin's loyalty, tested, like a seed.
Diplomacy's costs, a price too high,
Ava's actions, a sacrifice, that makes her cry.

The theme of manipulation, a pervasive stain,
A reminder that nothing's as it seems, in this game.
The battle for control, a war of wits,
Where truth and lies, in a delicate balance, sit.

In this world of intrigue, where allegiances shift,
The Expanse's narrative, a complex web, we must lift.
To uncover the truth, amidst deception's sway,
We must navigate, the gray areas, day by day.

The Expanse's universe, a mirror to our own,
A reflection of our struggles, our triumphs, and our throne.
A story of humanity, in all its complexity,
A reminder that power, is a fragile, delicate symmetry.
