So Ed and Dani are both 100% dying in the finale, yeah? Ed’s pretty much got closure to his entire arc and Dani had that message to her stepson that was incredibly thick with the “just 2 days from retirement” vibe. I really don’t want to lose either of these characters, especially Dani

Now I'm trying to work out which of the show's regulars would have been most likely to awkwardly cameo in a Star Trek episode, like a 00's politician in a Parks and Rec.

By the way, there’s essentially no risk of that asteroid hitting Earth. Here’s how it works. That Ranger burn lowers the orbit of the asteroid until it’s in place to intersect Earth. If that burn has to be 20 minutes exactly, then there’s a point at 19:50 something where it’ll bang on into Earth. hitting earth directly is classic hitting a bullet with a bullet stuff, it won’t happen accidentally. It’s hard enough to do when we want it to happen. We also know that NASA did DART way earlier, so if Ranger exploded they could get something up very fast and just hit it. It’s not a big concern. Don’t worry about it. I haven’t finished S04E09 so if it’s suddenly become one, well.

- Kelly's work on the alien life deal being in an asteroid crater is foreshadowing that Ranger hitting Mars is either going to hit in the crater right as they get meaningful results, or that it'll unearth something unexpected and cool biologically - That's yet another mention of the Crystal Palace thing. Is this just a viewer convenience reference or something more?! So many things are coming to a loggerhead to create the perfect storm. Out of directionless plodding fires a rocket speeding towards its destination with purpose and inclination

I thought the same thing but then he fixed it. Watching it again. I don't even understand what the guy is doing. Is he trying to get finger prints from both hands to make it seem like Sergei was handling it a bunch before shooting himself? Also it seems like the cops would be able to see if there was any gun shot residue on his hand. Oh well, at least he was saved from having to eat McDonalds..

Well, no powder residue will be notable, as is a foreign defector killing himself in a hotel room far from home, and just before eating dinner. I was surprised he didn't leave the gun sitting on top of his body, which is a KGB trademark. But it doesn't have to be an airtight cover-up, just enough confusion to slow things down until Margo is out of the country. And they may have a low opinion of US local law enforcement. Gorby's reforms would mean that a lot of younger KGB people didn't get to do very much cloak and dagger stuff until the last year or so, and certainly not in the US. Now, what are they going to do to cover up the death of Best Korea Internal Security Man? Probably have been easier before he made a scene in the command center. What the heck to the North Koreans contribute to the operation of Happy Valley anyway? They keep to themselves to run espionage, they don't contribute ships or manpower or expertise. I can see them getting a spot because they were first, but that's only going to go so far.

Definitely an episode setting us up for the finale We now know why Miles wasn't involved in any of the strike scenes - "I never supported the strikes!" (bit convenient for the guy in charge of the smuggling operation) Agree on the North Koreans, not really sure what they're contributing other than squatting on their turf Ed (and Dani) getting his little emotional speech is definitely setting him up for a death, though I would kind of like the character's arc to end in what he feared the most. Somehow getting him back on Earth and in a home would be quite the ending for the man who's done it all Definitely something going to happen with the crater and the asteroid. The heist is going to be dumb (why did it take Sam weeks to figure out she just needed to put a bit of glue in the receiver?) but we're getting set up for quite the episode I think. Poor Sergei. Margo is going to have a bad last episode.

I'm wondering how big the clear out at the end of this season is gonna be in terms of characters. There don't seem to be many main characters who could be expected to be the central POV characters after another decade time jump.

It's very funny that this show, this show of all shows, feels it necessary to tee up this episode with "an inside man." "...OR WOMAN  "Like remember that the whole premise in S1 was "Russia beats us to the moon so we do the space race but with women  "? Do these writers??

I don't think the show has really laid out the ground-rules on how laws work on Mars. Or if they did I missed it. If the CIA and NKVD both take turns beating up Milosh, who'd provide the push-back? Does Helios own any of the infrastructure of Happy Valley, or did they just sell it to NASA and Roscosmos and are now renting the lovely Down-Below for their plebs? They shipped Pot Bear's lady to India to face a court case, so is Happy Valley neutral ground? A no man's land? International space waters? In our universe, what happens if there's a fisticuffs on the ISS? Who has jurisdiction?
