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.

If we're heading a the Star Trek-ish future, first contact is a long way off in the 2060's and season 3 should be mostly about a take on Khan and the Eugenics wars, maybe that's what the NK stuff is leading to?

Ed will hit him, with a cane :colbert:

Ed's broken hip will prevent him from leading the Nasa crew, so he'll get sad and then be offered cyborg/genetic upgrades, and lead the private spaceflight team.

Robostronaut Ed!

I love that Molly has a service dog that is completely useless aside from growling at people she doesn't like.

Service dogs are trained to not do that poo poo

immersion ruined

Ollie Cobb knows what his job is and he does it his own way.

Molly wouldn't have it any other way.

nah Danny will murder him on Mars because that's more dramatic

Ed'll kill Danny and then become king of Mars the camera will pull out like at the end of one on the Riddick films.

I assume that's how it works on Mars, unless "science" can prove me wrong.

NASA is totally gonna get Oklahoma City'd

Jimmy will have the trigger and be all "I don't wanna do it!" and then the "Danny is the first murder and drug addict on Mars and has been executed" news breaks and he's all "THE CONSPIRACY IS AIMED AT ME!!!!" and then he presses the button.

Ed and Danny are also infected. It turns out this significantly lengthens their lifespans. Buckle up for 5 more seasons of Ed.

They open the Hab and Edanny shuffles out, the Infection has merged them into a nightmare creature.

Fortunately Karen is into it.

^^ still an annoying explanation though. He would’ve had to be checking specifically for pregnancy. It wouldn’t just show up when he’s testing for something else.

They knew they were fuckin', and the Soviets are being shown to work *very* hard to get any leverage that they can, so it's not surprising they'd check.

They probably checked for *everything* they possibly could and have "Not the genetic child of Ed" stashed in the Kremlin archive just in case they ever need to do a blackmail.

I'm probably misunderstanding you, but the idea of a scene where the Soviets try to blackmail Ed with the revelation that his adopted daughter isn't genetically related to him appeals to me.

You understood me perfectly.

I saw someone mention that the creators intend to have the show end far off in the future? Mind sharing a citation? I went into this show blind a little over a month ago and have no outside context.

It's sorta an assumption, the creators have talked about a 7 year plan, and with 10 year time-jumps we're probably going to hit the 2030's. They've also mentioned that they're planning to reach something like a "Star-Trek future", as Zephram Cochrane was born in 2032, it could easily line up thematically if nothing else, and the creators are probably nerdy enough to do it.
