For All Mankind (Apple TV+)

Can’t wait for S4. Daniel Stern and Toby Kebbell have joined the cast.

Almost caught up, just finished watching the penultimate episode of S3. The Ellen stuff = pure waterworks. Have a hunch that her journey will end up being the most emotionally rewarding of all the main characters. Really love this series.

Spoiler

Fantastic S3 finale. Can’t wait to see what happens with Margo in Russia, damn them for making like she had died. The Stevens family has to be cursed. And even though Molly and Karen are gone now I hope they still check in on post time jump Wayne (that useless, needy, pessimistic stoner schlub is definitely the most relatable character here).

Already feeling withdrawals. This show is like a wonderful mix of BSG, Mad Men, Man in the High Castle, The Americans, West Wing, Lost, and probably a few more… But somehow also its own thing. Need S4 now!

Its a hell of a finale.

The flashback to the North Korean crash landing felt so LOST to me, in a way that very few shows have been able to capture.

Based on the positive WOM, the wife and I started this last night.

3 episodes into S1 and we’re hooked. This is really good.

Excellent choice, please post your thoughts!

I’m jealous. S1 is very good, but S2 takes things to a new level. You will never think of duct tape the same way.

The thing that sucks is that I feel like Molly’s fate was partially a last minute decision because Sonya Walger was going to be a regular on Night Sky, but then Amazon didn’t pick it up for a second season.

Probably be a good idea to edit a Spoiler warning into that for anyone who hasn’t caught up yet.


Anyone know if Analog Olmos ever posted about this show?

Finished S1. Just fantastic.
We got one episode into S2 and we’re loving the time jump.

Analog Olmos is mostly on Discord now, I think.

Pretty sure he liked it.

SWEET, Season 4 is coming November 10th.

The wife and I absolutely adored this show.

I finally got caught up on this show and loved it.

That last episode of S3, Blind Molly Cobb was in Jeff Fahey Lawnmower Man territory, damn!

To be a slight bummer, I thought S3 came close to jumping the shark. I thought events starting becoming a bit contrived to keep the characters we know involved in things. That and some of the disasters that happen are pretty ridiculous.

Yeah - Actually I agree with that. Everything with Jimmy was fucking terrible.

The Jimmy storyline was so hamfisted and beneath the quality of the rest of the show. Hopefully we find out he died in his outpost 5 minutes into the premier and we never talk about him again.

You are confusing the names of the Stevens’ boys. Danny is the one at the outpost on Mars, Jimmy is the one who got entangled in the bomb plot and was saved by Karen.

They both suck, which is too bad considering the greatness of their parents Tracy and Gordo.

Danny snapping on Mars is the only plot element that I took issue with. The conflicts of the final few episodes are completely reliant on him being a fucking idiot.
But…I rolled with it.

But yes, I hope he died a sad and lonely death in that North Korean capsule.

For whatever reason, some TV shows like to be especially cruel towards a certain character but in the case of the Stevens it is an entire family.

Also, Jimmy is what Chucky would look like if he went full Pinocchio and turned into a real boy.

Ed’s pushing 100 and looking FANTASTIC!
