> - Does Bobbie Draper ever become a permanent part of the Rocci crew? At the end of last season she was strapping in next to Alex and she is such an awesome character I would love to see her get a lot more screen time.

Yes. Not only that, but she eventually becomes oner of the ship after Holden retires (there is around a 20 year time-jump a couple of books past this next TV season.)  
And she already gets a lot more screen time than in the books–she wasn’t even in the books season 2 and season 3 were based on.
