I just binged season 1 and 2 over the last few weeks, after bouncing off this last year having just watched the pilot. Goddamn it's a good show. I'm gonna be watching Season 3 Ep 1 tonight so I'm not reading any posts right now, but what I'd love to know is has any of the cast or crew or apple confirmed if this is the last season, or if they have plans for more after this? I thought I read somewhere like "the conclusion" and now I'm worried.

EvilHawk posted:I didn't think this episode was as strong as the other season openers (well gently caress nothing can beat that first episode) but even when it's not at the top of the game it's still one of the best shows on TV. WRT the private enterprise space travel thing I reckon they will have a lot of commentary on it, the way they frame the trailers are it's now a 3 way race between USA, USSR + this "Helios" company for Mars, and you'd have to have some tensions there and the obvious one is to portray them as like, cowboys who aren't caring about safety or other norms somehow. Starting the season off with a private space company having a fatal malfunction isn't a coincidence either I'd imagine, several characters commented on "private space tourism!" "space is an unrelenting bitch" etc I didn't mind the family side of it in S1, and in S2 I thought it was nice how they had them adopt a Vietnamese refugee, but jeez did it go downhill. As someone mentioned the anchors away bullshit was just pathetic. That scene of him not wanting her to go away is not necessarily a bad one but jfc that ending was pathetic. Also... I just feel they wanted Ed and Karen to be divorced and made a storyline from there. Like they had a challenging marriage in S1, kid died, season ends... then in S2 they start off all fine again, new kid, she's got a new job and a sense of purpose and belonging. And then like. no scenes? of them fighting or him ignoring her, just him admitting he wanted to be in space but wanted to be home for his family, then her saying yeah go up in space again you really want it, then she goes and fucks a child and acts like it's some moral grey area to Ed when she drops it on him. "LIVE IN THE GREY!!!" like what a terrible storyline Jesus Christ why

Look the show will likely be nuanced on it anyway (aka not pure enough, up against the wall comrade) but I think if anyone was to walk away from the first episode and note notice the characters all being derogatory about private space flight and the very first episodes story being about private space flight literally killing people then idk what to say, it’s definitely not saying it’s da best If we are talking politics of this show did anyone think it kinda rehabilitated Reagan a bit or am I just being an over reading into it goon? Having him see the handshake and immediately go and sign a treaty with Moscow makes it feel like he was good the whole time he just needed someone to show him the way or some poo poo.

Literally anyone thinking this is floating DADT as some sort of west wing / centrist compromise wonder just... stop watching TV. They had some music going at the time is the only point in favour of this argument however 1. Husband suggested it, who has been since season 1 the "keep everything in the closet" dude even though she wanted to flirt with then idea of changing their lives. He has pushed her into politics and into bigger positions, even as she saw her out and proud ex lover living a happy life while she was stuck lying. 2. The numerous shots of her watching the TV looking despondent or the look on her face as she delivered the address make it clear she loving hates it 3. The show has consistently put social/political points on socially progressive points going faster than in real life, or making points with characters. tons of women in leadership positions, first women and black astronauts in space/moon going faster, woman president, immigrant acceptance with Aleida, etc. When things are bad it has explicitly called it out as "BAD". 4. The goddamn episode started with the black gay man looking at the Martian landscape and smiling, and ended with the black gay man who we are talking about looking out on a land millions of miles from home and realising that it loving changes nothing. How ANYONE can look at that and say "lol libby poo poo endorsing DADT" just again, stop watching TV if you can't read basic cues
