Apple TV+'s best kept secret, For All Mankind returns to payoff the question raised in the final shot of last season: whose foot was that on Mars in 1995? While it could be the US or Soviets, a wildcard has been thrown into the race. No, it's not China, Japan, the EU, or any other nation(s). It's privateers!

Runs weekly for 10 episodes, starting June 10th.

The whole point of this show is that no one 'wins'. If someone wins, the show ends and then we get a denouement that takes place on the USS Enterprise.

People want this show to be more progressive, but then it wouldn't be realistic for its time.

Unrelated, but I'm betting that the next time-skip intro will have George Harrison being murdered by that guy who, in real life, non-fatally stabbed him.

I mean, I guess, but this is also a world that got the ERA (which they never seem to mention again in the show).

I think it got mentioned by the woman Danny cheated with this season.

Glad I stuck with it because now the show is going full on silly. I thought mrs. Robinson space entrepreneur Karen was a stretch but apparently North Korea sent a single manned probe to Mars in 1994 and didn't tell anyone one.

I know this doesn't matter and isn't really relevant to the story, but if Ellen beat Bill Clinton in 1992 does that mean she primaried Bush Sr.? Maybe it was in the first episode montage and I just forgot.

Bush Sr. wasn't Vice President under Reagan in For All Mankind, as the IRL 1976 Reagan campaign had Richard Schweiker as his pick. Schweiker runs against Democrat Gary Hart in 1984, where Hart wins.

Getting into the expanse territory.

Season 4 takes place around 2003, if you paid attention to the end of season 3.

Yeah true but just sayin!

Season 4 is going to be good I don’t doubt but I’d like it to move forward a bit more.

I have a feeling there won’t be a massive time-jump until a potential 7th and final season. Too much of the past to mine (although, season 6 would probably take place in the then-current calendar year).

It's set in 2003, do you think they still invade Iraq for no reason?

Considering that, in this timeline, George H.W. Bush was never elected Vice President, let alone President, I’d say the odds are low his son ever goes beyond owner of the Texas Rangers.

I think we should have a competition to see who we think is U.S. President on the show in 2003, because neither George W. Bush nor Al Gore would make sense as candidates in 2000 given the lack of inside access they had in real life. I'm going to stake out Mario Cuomo if it's a Democrat and John McCain if it's a Republican.

A lot depends on if Ellen ran and won in 1996.

The Republicans got smoked in the mid-terms, so I'd have to assume Ellen's chances of re-election are low.

Was talking to a friend about it, I feel like McCain is the most likely Republican president. Bush Sr. maybe? I can't remember if they made him Reagan's VP in the show or not.

He wasn't, because in our 1976, Reagan chose Richard Schweiker to be his Veep pick, and For All Mankind follows this lead.

Again, since George H.W. Bush is never chosen by Reagan to be his VP, the Bush dynasty never happens.

Like the realization of the Sea Dragon or NERVA Shuttle before, I hope they take the abandoned plans to send Joey Fatone to Mir and expand it to a full N*sync concert in space. As a season opener.
