The year is 2003. The Dixie Chicks top the Billboard charts, Lord of the Rings fever is reaching its crescendo, and Happy Valley is a fully operational Martian colony. Controlled by the United States, the Soviet Union, private corporation Helios Aerospace, and for some reason North Korea, conflicting priorities arrive when the most valuable asteroid in the galaxy arrives on their doorstep. This is season four of For All Mankind, on Apple TV+.

Returns November 10th and runs weekly for ten episodes.

The Margo/Sergei relationship used to be my favorite thing about this show and it sucks that I was hoping she was just gone from the show after how dumb her storyline last season was. Maybe they can rehabilitate her character/story this season, I hope so.

According to the Internet, all 3 seasons have been weekly, though they front-loaded the first season by 3 episodes at once.

Yeah, most Apple shows front load with two (or more usually three) episodes for the first season, and every other episode is released weekly. I can only think of one exception, outside a scanty handful of shows that were dropped all at once -- and the latter were always anthologies.

This poo poo is absolutely going to happen and it's so loving lazy. Is the Soviet Union resurgent or not? The compelling premise that launched the show was the plucky underdog United States playing catch up and it doesn't work if you portray the Soviet Union as a shambling corpse that's too stupid and unAmerican to know it's dead. Season 3 Russia was threatening only because the inferior Soviets gently caress up and require rescue, which of course the Americans provide as it is their Burden.

If you want the Americans to be the heroes the Soviet Union has to win the time skips.

North Korea could have been so interesting if handled well. The alternative history could have easily been a country heavily subsidized by a dominant Soviet Union goes all in on tech rather than heavy industry and paranoia and reaped the benefits. Meanwhile South Korea languishes while the West plays catch-up and the cold war shifts to space. Unification under North Korea is the perfect kind of newspaper headline alt history and would actually matter to Korean war vet Ed.

Season 3 should have been the US and USSR racing each other with dueling ion drives that they spent the decade playing spy v. spy over and Unified Best Korea going from punchline to player when they deploy the solar sail.

Idk if that’s true. In the early space race they were pretty much neck to neck and it was a coin’s toss about who would get there first.

Is Danny dead? It's been a while so I don't really remember, but I thought they sent him to jail in the North Korean capsule (which seems like a bad idea but what do I know).

Danny's brother is dead, along with his groomer.
