Fans of The Expanse, what are your favorite moments?
Personally, I like the escape from the Donnager in CQB. The music, the camerawork, the Zero G scenes were all amazingly done.

So many - off the top of my head:
Seeing what the protomolecule had done to Julie Mao after Miller finally finds her again (after hilariously dragging the nuke around Eros) plus the implications arising from that.
The inner refugees getting spaced
"Where's your pride beltalowder?" speech as they choose who gets to escape Ganymede and survive.
Katoa's anatomy class with the nurse:
Prax: "This is Amos. He's my best friend in the whole world..." - (awww the look on Amos' face,) ... then, "You're not that guy. You're not that guy."
I apologize for being ignorant, but what implications?
The whole Ganymede arc, from the hybrid to the refugees to prax's kid, is masterfully done. And who can forget Holden's speech afterwards? "This is the warship Rocinante."
"Anatomy class" is a bit of an understatement. Gruesome death would be a better description.
The implications of what the protomolecule is capable of and what it's doing with people. Until this point in the story we assumed it was a form of alien virus, makes people sick and then they die, but protoJulie talks with and is aware of Miller, has her memories and seems to be acting independently (because she's trying to return to earth) but also unaware of what she or it's capable of - flying Eros!
The protomolecule has somehow fused with her but not really controlling her since Miller even convinces protoJulie to crash into Jupiter. It's a whole different level of danger and ability far, far beyond a virus.
That scene where they show the life of some belters stuck in ship and its a tense situation - can't remember exactly where or when. They show a father and his daughter playing a game on a tablet that is superposed to help the daughter get smarter, something like that. It's been a while since I saw it.
Also just before that speedrunner was about to go through the ring, the interaction he has with his girlfriend.
There are so many small scenes that just really help with fleshing out the world and make it all believable. It's really a great show.
I think you're referring to Anderson Station...which was blown up by Fred Johnson, killing all on board.
Yeah I think that was it, definitely had tension.
Today. I make history. Me! Manéo Jung-Espano!
Poor Maneo, he was just trying to impress his girlfriend, but he just ended up going splat.
