    the belters and earthers are arguing over land rights, got it. oh no, the planet's weapons are waking up. oh no miller is nowhere to be found. oh no, they're all trapped underground. oh no, their support ships are crashing. oh no there's a microscopic organism IN THEIR EYES making EVERYONE blind?! oh no, there's evil death slugs?! oh no repeat just piling shit on. Also I'm kind of annoyed with how super special Holden is and how he's always the best and everything happens to and around him. Let someone else shine for a fucking second
