WhoPotterVian<p>kills off two major characters. I really did not expect Karen to die, and it’s a shame Molly’s death is offscreen, via a newspaper clipping. Molly deserved a better exit, but Karen’s is such a sad watch. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>character, as someone who family means a great deal to. </p><p>Undoubtedly the biggest shock in this episode comes from the terrorist attack on the space centre, instigated by the gang who led Jimmy astray. It’s a major game changer for the series, not least because it <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>NASA, Soviet and Helios crew gives it a nice bittersweet note.</p><p>Ed is probably the best character in this episode. His crazy mission to get his daughter Kelly to Phoenix so she can give birth and survive is such an awe-inspiring moment, and reflective of Ed’s <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>Stranger On A Strange Land: An explosive season finale, in more ways than one. The North Korean astronaut’s backstory is tragic, becoming stranded on Mars and losing communication with his people back home, but the way he finds a new home on Mars with the combined <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>bit unorganised, not having spare batteries for their shuttle that will transport them to Phoenix, but it leads to one heck of a cliffhanger, through the discovery that a North Korean astronaut beat Helios, NASA, and the Russians to Mars. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>contributes some great drama to proceedings, especially when the FBI get involved, who have a complicated history with her.</p><p>Most of the interesting stuff this episode takes place on Mars, with Kelly's pregnancy creating some complicated issues. Helios do seem a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>Coming Home: This is an episode with so much going on, and it says a lot when Ellen coming out as the first gay president in the 90s is the least impactful thing that happens. Aleida now being certain that Margot has been leaking her plans to the Russians <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>of work and unable to find another job to survive. Before this point, I just saw Dev as a selfish Elon Musk-type figure, who only cares about the corporate side of getting people to Mars. However, this episode shows him to be a far more complex man. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>in Season 1, and how they both feel as though they have failed the people in their lives.</p><p>It also makes Dev a more sympathetic figure, with his heart-to-heart with Margot over his father's demise following Apollo 23 exploding on the launch pad, putting his Dad out <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>The Sands Of Ares: A very tense and dramatic episode, concerning the rescue of Ed and Danny after the disastrous drill operation. It has some great character beats for the pair and their relationship, covering how both characters were impacted by Shane's death <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>cliff face collapsing after Danny's mental struggles cause the drilling to go awry, is one of the most exciting in the show. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>dynamic, which continues to be one of the most interesting in the show. Danny's becoming too much like Gordo, and Ed can see it, and the way Danny's head not being on the game affects the rest of the team raises the stakes so brilliantly. The ending, with the Mars <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>where she is told to take a break by Margot because she is getting too close to the truth left me feeling for Aleida, who is just left feeling betrayed because of how her own work was given away to Russia without her permission.</p><p>Finally, we have Ed and Danny's <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>into betraying a friend at NASA by taking his ID badge really shows how much she is able to take advantage of him.</p><p>I really thought Aleida was going to discover the truth regarding Margo being responsible for the NASA documents falling in Russian hands. The scene <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>places on her presidency, at a time where homophobia is ripe.</p><p>Jimmy getting involved in the wrong crowd also possesses plenty of potential. He becomes so easily manipulated by Sunny, and she clearly doesn't actually care about him. The fact that she pushes him <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>Bring It Down: This episode has some great character drama. First, we have Ellen finding out about her husband's gay affair, which is interesting because of how Ellen herself in the previous season had a same sex relationship. It really shows the complexities it <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>joint mission with the Russians to find water on Mars. It's particularly ironic given Ed's personal dislike of the Russians that he should be the one to lead the joint mission. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>New Eden: Really strong episode. It deals extremely well with homophobia in the 90s, showing how Will coming out on Mars affects tensions both at home and on Mars. There's also some great dramatic rivalry between Helios/the cosmonauts and NASA, through Helios's <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
WhoPotterVian<p>strong couple in the previous seasons.</p><p>I was surprised that NASA won the race to Mars. I really thought Helios had it in the bag. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ForAllMankind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForAllMankind</span></a></p>
