The Expanse: What is The Churn? | Den of Geek

In this week's episode of The Expanse, the show makes it clear that Season 5 isn't just another rotation of The Churn; it's something much worse.

In the most recent episode of The Expanse Season 5, “Hard Vacuum,” Amos returns to Baltimore, this time with Clarissa “Peaches” Mao in tow, as part of his larger plan to get the heck off of Earth. Once there, he seeks out the assistance of Erich, Amos’ old friend whom we first met in the second episode of the season, “Churn.” Looking out over a decimated Baltimore, Erich says Amos: “I figured this was just the Churn again, but… it’s gone, isn’t it?” What exactly is he talking about? Let’s break it down…

I could just listen to Wes Chatham talk forever, with that adorable accent...

Fun facts from The Churn podcast following episode 3, about Amos:

- Wes confirmed that he bases his portrayal of Amos around The Churn novella (Amos’ teenage self is the central character of that one) (Wes’ Amos always felt younger than book!Amos to me)

- The first thing he said was that he doesn’t see Amos as having “anger issues,” he’s just focused on survival and ready to do what it takes to protect his tribe from what he sees as clear threats.

- Wes understands him as suffering from an attachment disorder and c-PTSD (after discussing the character with a licensed therapist that had read The Churn)

- Wes consciously and carefully in every episode makes sure none of the writers or directors reduce Amos to the “tough guy who stands in the back and throws out witty one-liners” stereotype.

- He said it is very important to Amos that he not become like the men that abused him and his family growing up, but also that he knows he doesn’t always know where that line is and could easily act like one of them, and sometimes does cross that line. And this is why he attaches himself to a person he believes can be a better moral compass.
