But I think, actually, in contrast to Marco, she’s actually quite pure, and there’s something almost quite simple about her moral compass,” explained Cara Gee in the interview. “I feel like Drummer has the same desire, the same hopes and dreams, in being the liberation of her people.
Her loyalties for those she cares for and judgement of character always feel unwaveringly intuitive.
Despite all that she’s been through, if I were to pick a lifeline friend, it would be Camina Drummer. You have to admire the fearlessness Gee’s Drummer has always displayed in the face of opposing odds.
And even a little glimpses of his inner child, which I feel really grateful to have gotten to because he’s very complicated.” But is Camina Drummer the more valiant Belter fighter? And we get a much better glimpse as to the pain and the trauma and the unmet needs and desires at the root of all of this. And we start seeing behind the multiple facades that we have seen him put on for so long. And because of that transition, we start seeing the holes and cracks in his psychology and his trauma. “He is still a master manipulator, but it’s a whole other chess game than what he’s used to. “It’s now about politics and not about warfare, and so we see a major shift in his psychology as he starts realizing that this is a whole other thing that is actually not adrenaline-based at all, where authority isn’t wielded in the same way,” Alexander continued. However, the confidence and bravado displayed on the cusp of victory during the conclusion of S5 doesn’t last forever, and the final season brings its own set of complications for the Belter leader.

Marco Inaros ended up in an incredible position of strength at the end of Expanse’s sixth season, having masterminded attacks on Earth and Mars, with his new Free Navy-an arguably admirable first-time military operation for an underclass of human workers who have been mistreated by the power factions of Earth and Mars for so long. “And so in a lot of ways, he’s achieved that thing he’s always thought was possible, but didn’t think he could get, and he’s gotten there… and there’s a question of like, what now?” We’re now no longer in a war so much as we are in a place of governing what we’ve won,” said Keon Alexander during the interview. “Marco’s dream, to a certain extent comes true. Both actors discussed their differing journeys to become voices for the Belter nation and the struggles they’re grappling with at the start of the sixth season. But Drummer’s strong loyalties towards her friends and family as well as Belter independence (in like, a non-terrorist way) inspired her to courageously take up arms against Marco at the end of the fifth season.Īs we begin The Expanse‘s Season 6, Drummer and Inaros sit on opposite ends of Belter sovereignty, representing very distinct viewpoints of the Belt. With Fred Johnson having been assassinated on the orders of Marco Inaros in S5, Drummer and her polymorphous family were forced to swear their allegiance to the Belt leader last season. The Belt has flexed its muscles before-first with Anderson Dawes’s efforts on behalf of the OPA (the Outer Planets Alliance) on Ceres station-and perhaps more successfully, the political long game that Fred Johnson (Chad Coleman) was developing on Tycho Station.ĭrummer quit working with Dawes to support Johnson’s diplomatic efforts for greater Belter autonomy. However, both characters have paved the way for Belter independence in vastly diverse ways, most notably with Inaros having staked his claim for a new Belter nation through interstellar terrorism and backroom dealings with Mars based on stolen protomolecule technology last season.
