I guess it's easier to just say LCD panels happened sooner than source era appropriate CRTs for everything.

I mean, LCD panels existed throughout the 90s. I didn't find it a stretch.

I didn't see a recap and it's been a while since I saw S2, was Karen's husband who died in the elevator Tracy's ex-husband?

Yes.

I legit thought the Russian meltdown was faked so that they could steal American fuel.

It looks like NASA is interested in building NERVA engines again:

I'm starting to get real horror movie vibes from Danny :ohdear:

Good episode all around, Margo plot does not seem headed to the electric chair sadly but at least it's progressing, and the conflict between the Soviet and US missions bubbled to the surface a whole two episodes in to the collaboration :allears:

In a world where Larry's gay affair is going to be the Lewinsky scandal, I'm guessing Ellen sabre rattles Russia over stolen rocket intel and hogging water on the moon as a Yugoslavia analogue.

Danielle coming across.footsteps at the North Korean probe is an all-time great moment on this show.

Let's be honest that DPRK cosmonaut is probably better fed than the average resident of North Korea. I feel it needs much explanation, but it sure is wild.

Famine came to North Korea after the Soviet Union fell and couldn’t prop up the country’s economy anymore.

I figured the Soviets extracted Margo because no way a show can kill off 2 female protagonists within 30 seconds in this day and age.

Kelly's baby sure was massive, especially given it was a month-early preemie :lol: That thing looked like my 6 month old ... it should've looked like a gerbil.

Man, Margo's gonna reunite with Aleida next season and it's gonna be *awesome*

On Mars, the Kelly extraction to Phoenix I felt could have been strong enough to be the climax of the season on its own.

This basically would have been the season 1 climax all over again, plus a pregnancy.

My prediction is that season 4 is going to feature an amicable end to the Cold War leading to basically a worldwide social democratic government. Between Margo working behind the scenes in the USSR, her Russian dude in America, Kelly's symbolic child, and the collapse of Helios, all signs point in that direction. The bombing at NASA will kill any Congressional defunding effort.
