For All Mankind: Glasnost - Season 04 - Episode 01 - RECAP INTRODUCTION - www.skiptvads.blog

I have to say that from a point a view compared to previous season one might think they ran out of ideas but the truth is that I think this is going to be the last season and it would be fine if it is, after all going to Mars has been the ultimate planet to conquer and so far here we are stuck at Earth, after getting to Mars on season three now they want to develop the idea of what would be building up a colony in the red planet for this to happen other tech need to advance exponentially like they engines they constantly talk about since season two because it would not be possible, aka one of the reasons we are still on Earth; on this episode they mention that workers going to Mars is at least a two year tour. So far the main topic of the episode/season is mining the space, most likely on Mars there wont be the same minerals necessary to build infrastructure now the crew that grew into a small town called Happy Valley looks for new options and recently discover a meteorite with tons of minerals mostly metal that would serve to build this infrastructure they talk about, we might think why not import it from Earth or other close planets and I guess transport is a one problem, second importing from Earth would be like exploding one planet that is already hurt to build a second one, the most efficient way to move forward with this is to leave Earth alone and let it heal, at least to me this are they things that make series like this attractive to me, imagine what could be and how may happen, they all using suits at Mars when going outside so when are they going to create an atmosphere? an on going topic on many Sci-Fi series.

On this post I wanted to try something different, I have been looking how to make it more attractive and describe scenes not just with a screenshot and a long text that most people are not interested in reading so I thought make it more visually descriptive, so basically you get the idea right from the images and words remain as my opinion and not necessary describing the entire scene also try to reduce the amount of snapshots on one post, it took me twice the time compare to my previous posts but it was a lot of fun, this are two things I like editing images and writing.

Happy Valley has grown since season three and now is looking to expand, bringing in workers from Earth to start building that infrastructure, on this episode on a few scenes we an see things like the dorms are like small room of metal and everything is interconnected by cylinders, a small modular city, most likely the big dome the one that looks darker might be the main entrance and to the left another white dome but smaller I guess could be control center, usually all those bigger cylinders to the right are use to grow plants and fish, self sustain quadraphonic systems, I think its very unlikely the season give a tour of Happy Valley but for sure will start to see the different sections through the episodes.

Main character Edwin Baldwin comes back with his good old soviet cosmonaut friend Grigory, Edwin is now Captain in charge of the ship that will take the asteroid to Mars and Grigory the man who sets food first in the asteroid and start deploying a platform that will anchor the rock to the ship so it can be push to Mars. Edwin looks very old and I have to say for some reason the way he looks old has a vibe like he age under a different environment, I guess if humans every life in another planet at first might live longer because you are not going to get all the pollution, contamination, food probably healthier or at least under a better control, if you look at them both look very old but like they are still rolling and kicking.

At first things look very simple but from the start I felt this was going to be more complicated than normal, only those you have jerry rig things with duct tape and zip ties will have a better understanding without having to be an engineer, before getting into that part, Grigory from the start turn on Edwin’s yet when he is about to jump to the asteroid he mention how Edwin is always second, this makes reference to the first time Edwin got close to the moon on season one he hesitate and lost the opportunity to be the first man to land on the moon, this open the Pandora Box to a never ending sensation of been second and continuously taking very high risks on missions, some times necessary some other not so much and the outcome of this risk not always pays off but its the times that work make people feel they can get away wit it again.

The asteroid has a series of cables attack to it with anchors but from the start of the episode you can tell the asteroid is not so compact, when Grigory touch it for the first time or when they set the anchors the surface crumbles also the structure they use to push the asteroid seems to thin and long also small compare to the size of the rock, speculating not that I know anything about space ships you will need a good amount of torque to create momentum to push and then enough tension on the cables for both push and then slow down, the cables work as net that traps the rock, if the cables become loose then the long thin structure that connects the ship with the rock will wobble or even snap.

As I was watching the episode I started to get the feeling of what was going to happen the excited part was what are they going to do under such circumstances, Edwin is in charge so there is no way he is going to loose the rock, besides they are paying them a bonus to get the rock to Mars, probably big enough to risk their life, cables start to become loose as the asteroid crumbles and anchors detach, the torque generated by the ship makes the platform unstable on the asteroid side.

Grigory and Tom who work setting up the platform as the asteroid decide to go out and try to set the cables back in place to keep the tension but this was ridiculous, they facing a platform the size of the building, first they need to stop the wobble if the platform doesn’t kill them first and then set the cables back in place, stopping and object in space is not the same as stooping a car, there is no grip so things don’t just stop when propulsion cuts off, not only the structure they build look stupid but now their plan to fix it is worst, that’s exactly what happens, Tom and Gregory didn’t make it to episode two so right from the start they cut off two characters, Tom gets stab from the back by part of the structure that snap and Grigory leg is trapped plus in the process his suit rips and now has a hole in it on top of that he didn’t recharge his oxygen this leaves him with very little oxygen to breath and time to be rescue, Edwin had no other option to detach the ship from the asteroid and let Grigory die.

NASA is piss off at Edwin, not the first time his risky maneuvers don’t pay off well and now they are looking into replace him, besides he has been for too long, other pilots are either dead or back at Earth and he is the only OG that remain in Mars, his step daughter Kelly and her son are waiting for him but its always excuse after excuse for not coming back, he probably feels there is nothing exciting at Earth besides could also be a bit hurt after his ex wife died on season three when the NASA building suffer a terrorist attack with a bomb that killed her also brought down half of the building. Eli is the man in charge of NASA and calls in Danielle, she is a great pilot that knows the boundaries not like Edwin and for this reasons they had their arguments in the past, Eli calls her to offer Danielle to replace Edwin, she at first didn’t want to but then start to reconsider.

The Queen of Darkness, as Molly another ex pilot use to call her; Margo, ex NASA director is at Russia, I suspect this after she got blackmail by the Russians because she gave them Aleida engines design in exchange they don’t hurt Sergei the ex Russian Space Program director, probably to avoid been judge for treason too, she move to Russia and is suppose to be a consultant but they don’t want her in the program, she constantly feel some one is after her, watching her, spying on her and seems she was right, every day she goes to the same park and eats at a bench and all of the sudden this lady start talking to her and ends up with “I know you” like we have been watching you, is she with the Russians? is she with a US agency?

Last but not least, Miles, a man who has been a worker all his life, experience with machines on construction sites, who has financial problems and also problems at home with his wife wanting to divorce due to the chaos that is their financial situation, it looks like she feels Miles either can’t or don’t want to solve this financial problems, in a desperate decision he decides to look for a job at the moon after a friend told him they hiring but when he gets to the interview face the problem that it takes months for him to get trained and go up there to what he can’t wait, as a last resource he is offer a job at Mars, high risk high reward; its more time but few want the job.

Both Miles an Danielle take the job, Danielle on her way to Happy Valley to get things under control, I don’t think she is going to get there with the I’m The Boss attitude since she knows very well Edwin, she will try to help him get the mining mission complete so he can come back home but I think she doesn’t know she probably traveling with her worst nightmare, Miles gives me the impression is going to become a pain in the ass at first been the new Edwin Baldwin in terms of doing things how he wants to.

For All Mankind: Glasnost - Season 04 - Episode 01 - RECAP - CONCLUSION - www.skiptvads.blog

Episode one of season four was mostly focus on a single scene, this is expected because on this type of series is hard you get actions more than two action scenes during the episode after all they are in space, this is not star wars where you got extreme unrealistic ships that move at the speed of light, things happen at a certain pace. Its nice that if this is the last season Edwin the main star of the show close it with his last mission and I hope he doesn’t die, the shots at space look awesome this is a tv series with a good quality both the story and scenes are very good, both on a big screen say 50 inch tv the spaces scenes look awesome and with a VR headset even better, over all this is one of my favorite series in the past five years, top 10 for me.

Not everything is great, there are things I did not enjoy much like both the structure that they build to push the asteroid, it was build to fail; and their plan to get it back together, may be in the moment of the heat you wont notice this things because your dopamine is through the roof, specially using VR headset; with all the space scenes and the depth of things on the black void, but their plan to fix the structure was very stupid, they should have never go out, at best Edwin had to try to stop the asteroid from moving first if not let it go because one way or another the structure was going to break, it flex but the movement was too drastic and the arms snap that’s why Tom was killed.

It took me some time to create this post, a couple of hours; taking all this images, editing, putting them together to make some sense takes way more time than it took me to make a regular post but I do like it and enjoy it more, creating posts for me is the fun part of Hive, I’m not really after getting upvotes but its nice when people do and show appreciation for the time I put on my posts, profits I let that to my investment and up voting others people post.

For All Mankind - Season 4 - TRAILER OPINION INTRODUCTION - www.skiptvads.blog

For All Mankind is the series that made realize that most AppleTv+ Series are gold, to start this is not a series based on real events its all fiction, it happens on a “parallel” story where some were similar to what happen on the first mission to the moon but then the story goes further into space hotel, land on mars, arm confrontations in space. Besides the great story one of the things I like the most about this series is the story around each character, anyone who thinks about watching a space TV Series might think everything has to be about space ships and the travel itself but this is not the case, characters down at Earth has a lot to do, couples problems, fights at work because chain of command, espionage because others country want to steal each other tech and make it first to what ever rock in space they planing to go so its not only about space itself, also the cast is not The Avengers and that makes it more interesting to me, ever since Season One I gave this TV Series a 10/10, another great TV Series that I never document but I will still put up my posts about Season Four.

To keep track of things I had to watch Season 3 last episode where they literally pull a stunt that is just ridiculous to think about but thats the kind of things you are going to see on this TV Series, Edward Baldwin, one of the main pilots of the Series; tie up his step daughter to a space shuttle so he could push her to the space station on top of Mars because she is pregnant and there is no facility down on Mars where she can give birth.

Now that they have been on Mars for a few years they want to start a proper self sustain colony at Happy Valley Camp, they recruiting new people to join at Earth so there will be new characters added to the story, some are willing to take the gamble.

On Season 3 a man who build the most successful private company to start an expedition to Mars almost lost everything but it seems once again he gets lucky after his team locates the biggest asteroid with enough iridium to compare it to what ever has been mine in the history of mankind, so now everyone wants to jump on it, North Korea, Russia, USA, there is this big race to get the asteroid how the fuck do you do that? from a few scenes they literally attack a space ship to one side so they can push it.

While all this is happening there is also a very dorky love story between Margo Madison the NASA director until Season 3 and Sergei Nikulov engineer who was in charge of the Soviet Space Program who was heavily under surveillance and was caught exchanging information with Margo about their programs to a point that Soviets blackmail Margo letting her know that they would send him to one of the worst prisons and I think they were willing to kill him if she didn’t give them their engine blue prints, at the end she did and no body proof it after some heavy suspicious, on the trailer she now wakes up but she is in Russia and from the few shots she look like is been follow probably KGB, most likely she is there looking for Sergei.

The trailer of Season 4 specially shows a new addition to the series, a new character Miles played by Toby Kebbell who was actually exceptional from the TV Series “Servant” that I never finish but want too, Miles is a regular guy with a regular job at Earth but now he feels there is this big opportunity to join the colony at Mars, Happy Valley camp now wants to grow massively so they need more workers to create all this infrastructure, Miles looks like a pain in the ass guy who gets into places no body invite him.

FATAL ATTRACTION S01E02 CONCLUSION - www.skiptvads.blog

I think Season Four might be the last Season of this TV Series, some of the main characters are aging getting older in the story but still kicking like Ed and Danielle, Margo is out of NASA looking for Sergei in Russia, Bill is taking over as NASA director so its generational moves within different positions in the story from Pilots, NASA director, Engineers at Earth with Aleida finally getting enough credit to her work and from here they are growing the colony at Mars so the story does not move into another race to another planet, all other three season have been ten episode long so that give it enough time to develop the end of the story in a way that it doesn’t feel rush and they can conclude things at Earth and Mars for example we have a couple of topics

  • What happens after the NASA bombing
  • What happens with Margo and Sergie, does she finds him?
  • How is Ed grandson or daughter doing?
  • Will Ed fly to the Asteroid, he is always a captain
  • How Ellen does with her relationship and political position

All this are just a few of the different side stories on the series that will need a proper ending, all other three seasons in my opinion did great, even on season two when they were confine to a very small space for a few episodes so this tells a lot about the script, how good it is that it keeps viewers entertain without much space on the scene.

I totally recommend this series and cant wait to start watching Season Four, first episode comes out on November 10, 2023.
