I read the episode description before I watched. After seeing the word “tragedy”, I expected it to get so much worse than it did. For a while I thought the people smoking weed would die, then I thought everyone that stayed at the wedding would die, and then I thought they may kill everyone left at the hotel. Kind of shocked the hotel situation didn’t get worse, but glad. I have no doubt Bill Clinton is going to lose the presidential election this season.

So season 1 is the moon landing season. Season 2 is the space base season. Season 3 is the Mars season. This show has a 7 season plan. What could the next four be? Just taking some wild guesses Season 4, going beyond our Solar System. Season 5, First Contact. Season 6, Alien Conflicts. In this season, an elderly Ed hits an alien with a cane. season 7, Founding a Star Trek like federation. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Jun 11, 2022 |

He will stab Ellen in the back and out her. Then slash NASA funding (possibly after the lose the Mars race to Ed's fart ship), creating a set back season.

Cojawfee posted:My post was about Margo being outed as a spy, but this is a good line of thinking too. I don't think they could really impeach her for being gay. She is in a straight "relationship" and has a child. If she is outed as gay, the worst they can do is just not vote for her in the next primary. While people being outed against their will sucks, it would be an interesting plot. You end up with a big infight in the party, where the far right run a bigot candidate (probably trumpian/maga) in the primary to try to get rid of her. Maybe her VP runs against her too. The Log Cabin Republicans have been around since the 70s and apparently did some stuff in the 90s, so maybe they will come into play. They won’t impeach her for being gay, but it will lead to a situation where she lies under oath like Clinton and gets impeached for that.

Drunk in Space posted:Gonna lol when the three ships arrive simultaneously in the exact same spot and try to barge each other out of the way to get planetside first, only to find that China has already secretly landed there and built a base. I’m guessing either the Helios or NASA mission has a problem at the finish line, leading to the Soviets winning while NASA/Helios helps the other ship. This combined with Ellen’s impeachment and Margo being exposed will lead to a bad decade for US space travel.

Bulky Bartokomous posted:Ivan cooking alive in his suit was pretty nuts. I enjoy that the show doesn’t shy away from spaces ability to gently caress you up. One of my favorite aspects of this show is it never forgets space is extremely hostile to human life. Is the smooshed astronaut embedded into one of the shuttles or is there a human pancake floating around?

Penitent posted:I've been wondering how Moore and the writers will approach the big historical beats like the 2000 election, 9/11, and the war on terror and my theory is that they just won't. Maybe Ellen’s dumb far right VP starts a war in the Middle East after Ellen is impeached. I kind of assume they won’t do a 9/11/war on terror parallel.

Senor Tron posted:My speculation on where the season is gonna go: This is basically what I think will happen. At the same time, this show tends to be optimistic. I’d be shocked if they end the season without some kind of hope for next season. I think Ellen gets stabbed in the back by her own party. This will cause her to not only be impeached but also be removed. Then her far right VP becomes POTUS. He takes funding for NASA to appease the coal and oil anti NASA protestors.

I wonder which characters/cast members will be around next season. I kind of assume Danny and Kelly will be there simply because they are younger astronauts that have gotten a decent amount of screen time. I also expect Aleida to be back since she is the main young person that gets screentime at NASA.

bawfuls posted:She's not going to prison or even needing a pardon, that's just not what this show is. Two main characters died on the moon’s surface last season. While this show is positive, this isn’t Ted Lasso. They are clearly setting something up with the Margo plot. Her actions led to the deaths of two US astronauts.

Laughing Zealot posted:I'm not getting the Kelly "lifeforms in the water" subplot. Even if they find it, in the short term the need for water eclipses any other considerations I'd think. This can't be the only water on the planet with life in it. Even if there is no use for the life, the discovery would be the biggest in human history.

Panic! At The Tesco posted:Also who the gently caress designed the space drill where the only control to stop the pressure from overloading it or whatever has to be done remotely? Especially when Ed is literally playing with some kind of throttle at the drill site. They should have put the "do not explode" button on there as well. Turns out the private Space Agency isn't the best at designing things.

Ellen is going to resign rather than get caught lying under oath and will do the Nixon pose while leaving. Far right VP is going to wreck NASA’s budget after all the Mars disasters. He is going to be pro oil and coal, setting back the planet…until next season.

Nihonniboku posted:Haven't they repeatedly stressed that NASA is self funded? Or did you mean, he's going to take their money and spread the wealth? I believe you're right. In my head I want to say the lines were NASA is practically self funded now but assume that I misheard. I imagine they can still screw over NASA's funding pretty significantly and divert a lot of the funding to the military. It feels like this season may end on a sadder note than the other ones. I kind of doubt it though because the hopeful tone of of the show. muscles like this! posted:I wonder if we'll get something like Dems threatening Ellen with outing but she just finally goes out there and outs herself. imo it is going to be far right VP, they've gone out of their way to play him up as a shithead a few times.
