Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
There is a certain sense of satisfaction by the conclusion of “Salvage” that I wasn’t really expecting. Sure, Holden and Miller finally meeting was going to be an exciting moment but it was so well executed, and coupled with Julie Mao’s stunning reveal, that it’s something that is going to stick in my memory for some time. This feels like the conclusion of the first chapter of a story that we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of and it’s already so very satisfying.
The Rocinante finally reaches its destination, an asteroid that appears to possess no features of note, until they spot what we learn is an abandoned stealth ship similar in design to the one that destroyed the Canterbury, and that’s not even the most interesting part. What Naomi and Holden discover inside the engine core appears to be some sort of lifeform, maybe parasitic in nature, that has latched itself onto what was the ship’s most powerful energy source and feeds off of it when active. This is by far a huge leap for the series’ narrative thus far, I’m not saying it’s aliens, it could be a genetically designed bio weapon by humans, but it sure did look of alien design. Up to this point the thought of anything alien playing a part on this show felt foreign since it seems so grounded in a solar system that is well explored. It’s a show that doesn’t feel like it would need anything extraterrestrial yet the thought of that extra layer potentially around the corner has me excited all the same. Of course, it could just be a virus with no real intelligence that feeds off energy.
