For All Mankind season 4/5

Dev was the mutant who could adapt to anything in first class!
 
Yes, the character who can't be killed who was killed because he was black.
 
Who would have thought the nazi would be racist?
 


Every comment is "it's a prequel to The Expanse!"

A war between earth and mars, that's original.
 
As soon as it went to mars it became the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson (which SAUSAGEMAN recommended to me many moons ago and I read all three doorstops). The independence movement, gene editing (if the alien stuff ends up going that way), crazy longevity. Next they’ll be terraforming.

I did much enjoy the first few seasons more. As soon as it passed our current level of tech it felt a lot less believable, but also just generic scifi. The seasons set in the 60s-80s felt like they were fairly true to how things were back then (setting aside major plot developments).

I’ll definitely still watch the next season though. It’s a good show, even if they might be struggling now with the direction it should head in.
 
I also read those, strong sense of deja vu.
 
The basic thesis of this show, that we'd all be better off if we spent some of our collective effort on space exploration rather than *gestures at real life* is something I've always believed and an idea I still find compelling, and I think their plan is to probably have the story ultimately end in a Star Trek-styled future. That said, it's still a show for AppleTV or whatever the fuck so it's never really going to have the balls a concept like that deserves, and as others have pointed out the show struggles with it's direction.
 
It was weird when Karen fucked the boy she used to babysit.
 
And then he got sort of executed via ostracisation.
 
I love the idea of two guys getting yeeted to Mars in a fucking Soyuz; I'm obsessed with trying to figure out how they "really" pulled it off. They had to have some kind of service module attached for most of the flight just to carry enough life support, probably a propulsion module to get them up to speed or for the Mars orbit insertion burn. They would have needed a a solar panel array to power the rig for months or years at a time as well, their flight configuration must have more closely resembled the old Salyut stations.
