I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO DANNY!

 

Ugh man episodes 7 and 8 and onto 9 now in season 1 have been brutal emotionally. Not that you need to be a parent to appreciate the sorrow but as a parent this is giving me whole new nightmare scenarios. I kind of need it to lighten up a bit soon haha

 

Episode 9 is in my top five episodes of TV ever.

 

The run from Hey Bob to the end of season one is next level.

 

Yeah just finished up the season. Whew that was intense!

 

I thought for sure Miles was going to find Danny when he was out on glass hunting expedition.

 

This episode just kept ratcheting the tension. And had some shocks without answers.

 

So is that as far as Danny goes? Or is there more? And man what a scene at the end between Ed and Dani.

 

Also I'm wondering is Ellen's storyline all wrapped up? She is listed as a guest instead of a regular this season so I'm sure she'll pop up at some point.

 

maybe those news segment scenes in the season premiere count as her appearance? Who knows.

 

I could see her having some kind of diplomatic role in the Russia situation. Makes sense for an ex-president.

 

Man this season especially is making me want to finally finish KSR's Mars Trilogy.

In Red Mars there is a whole three way philosophical debate that turns into war about whether Mars should be a place to extract natural resources for Earth for capitalist gain vs being a protected scientific natural reserve like Antarctica vs being a place where a new civilization with new values can thrive. I can tell FAMK is influenced by Mars Trilogy so I can see them veering into similar territory.

 

Was wondering if there was a good book/book series that covered this type of idea/theme, thanks for the rec!

 

Yes, the Mars Trilogy is almost like For All Mankind meets ASOIAF

 

I rewatched the the first few episodes of this season, and I picked up that Baldwin has been on Mars since the 94 mission last season. He never left and has been there for almost a decade.

 

I wonder if his body would be able to readjust to earth gravity after that much time away.

 

Did not see Miles becoming a stone cold space gangster coming.

 

I love that the Margo plot has come full circle where she is Von Braun to another country now.

 

This episode is just hitting excellent highs on earth. Wild that the Mars plotline is the one you want to be away from.

 

I am glad that I thought where it looked like they were going to mutiny on Mars has veered off into workers rights and a strike.

 

I’m onto season 3. Some surprising RIPs. This show has such an impressive pace. Other shows would spend entire seasons on what this show covers in just a couple episodes, yet it doesn’t feel too rushed.

 

That’s part of why I love it. If this was on showtime we’d still just be exploring landing on the moon 5 seasons in.

 

God I love this show. Every week the credits roll and Im like "no, come on! i want more!" I used to no like Margo as a character in earlier seasons, but man her storyline has gotten really good.

 

Today I learned Ronald D Moore (the showrunner/creator of FAMK) wrote one of my all time favorite Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes. The one that was like a Bad News Bears-esque sports comedy where the crew of DS9 faced off against an all Vulcan crew in a game of Holo-Baseball.

 

That twist at the end of the episode got me, was not expecting that.
