>>220511926
He has every right to chimp out but the show needs to further humiliate him for daring to challenge the fearless brown woman so he'll probably do something stupid only to be saved at the last minute by Kelly.
>>
>>220511926
Hopefully, before departing, he locks Kelly out of the ship and steals her inevitable proof of life samples that she's almost certainly going to discover.

The last two seasons don't have any significant gay characters or subplots.

I feel deceived by marketing which made it look like Alex was going to be more significant. He really only has a supporting role in this season..
Though I suppose it makes sense as he's still just a teen and not trained to do any dangerous space stuff

That was the series finale of For All Mankind. This is a new show based on For All Mankind that also happens to use the same name. Kinda like Star Trek. This show has a very different feel, it's more teen drama in space, with all the main plot stuff from For All Mankind happening in the background.

>>
>>220517052
why did they only ask how many people and what weapons were gonna be on the asteroid when they were approaching it? what if the guy was like "there's about one thousand minders, one hundred security people, armed". Would they have turned around and gone to pick up more space marines?
>>
>>220517052
>>220517155
my assumption was that the space marines is a pretty small force, given how little goes on in space. we know this season mars has 5k people on it, the moon is probably a similar number. they likely just dont need a ton of troops for populations of that size. doesnt really make a ton of sense for them to have a huge ass warship then, but it looks cool i guess

haskill going on the mission makes enough sense since hed been on the station before. not sure what argument thered be for taking tabasco. unless they were confident no one would be there so they didnt feel a need to bring the a team?
>>
Is anyone else having issues feeling the feels the show clearly expects us to feel about the Marines? Like, boo-fuckin'-hoo, you signed up to go to foreign places and kill normal people just trying to live their lives(and don't try any shite about "muh nonlethals", the officer clearly stated they were only going in soft because they didn't want to damage the station infrastructure, and in general soldiers are perfectly willing to kill on command) because your government says they're badwrongungood, and I'm expected to weep when they do you first? And why is everyone in MOCC all sadface about it? These fuckers are coming to kill or arrest you, their local allies just murdered a bunch of your kids almost certainly with full knowledge and complicity of the M6, you should be figuring out how to throw hoppers full of explosive at their actual ship not pussying out because your soft-soap approach of temporarily denying them access to an economic objective *accidentally* killed a couple of their soldiers.

This is why liberals are poison, even when they don't outright just side with the right to protect their economic assets, they produce simpering garbage like this that paints resistance to tyranny as morally equivalent to the tyranny because they can't resist being a Centrist Dad. Meanwhile the right will just straight up say
>Good, our enemies are dead, let's kill more

Because Born to Kill with the peacebutton is specifically calling out the duality of man, where humanity craves and talks of peace yet go to war anyway. They're born to kill. Astronauts werent born to Free Mars and they just wanted to steal imagery without understanding it.

>why is everyone in MOCC all sadface about it?
Because by killing the marines they inadvertently start a hot war with the m6. It's not that they're particularly bummed about the deaths of a few randos they never met, it's that they just gave earth grounds to glass the fuck out of happy valley
>>
>>220518030
>Astronauts werent born to Free Mars
In the current season, people have been living on Mars for almost 20 years and some of the main characters who are fighting for Martian independence were born there.

Its not a problem that the woman went to the moon, its that everybody started screeching about men astronauts, thats the problem

just finished it, well fuck I really have no idea how this season is going to end
>>
>>220518448
i dont remember that happening. everyone was extremely sceptical over the idea of fast tracking women into the space program and pretty openly talked about how it was essentially a dei stunt (including several of the women themselves). it was purely an optics thing because nixon was paranoid about keeping pace with the soviets rather than "these men astronauts have had it too good for too long" or some shit (he literally requested tracy because she was hot lmao)
>>
>>220518459
i reckon something along the lines of
>m6 are very upset over dead marines
>marines attack happy valley
>mars puts up a fight but it looks like theyre going to be overpowered
>dev has a come-to-jesus moment (possibly as a result of being inspired by kelly finding life) and swoops in with all the hoarded munitions to save the day. or some other deus ex machina
>someone vaguely important dies in the fight (my money is on haskill)
>USSR collapses and cuts a deal with mars, ending the conflict
>miles is the first martian president, governor goes back to earth to run the new soviet (or maybe just russian at that point) regime
some of the specifics might be off but im fairly confident in that general trajectory. only things im not sure of are where tabascos arc is going and what the time jump will be. it might be a more boring one again like season 3's being margo in moscow
>>
>>220518459
My guess is the Titan mission succeeds and finds life, and the life has some beneficial property which causes the M-6 to reinvest in space and make a deal with the Mars colonists and let them stay there. Alien microbes are the new iridium, or something.
Echoing the end of season 4 but without the heist element

and food. Mars colonists will start building Dev's dream city and that will be end of season 5. Then season 6 is gonna be about the new Martian city, but by then half of Mars will be inhabited, huge domes, and they'll be working on terraforming it. The big project for season 6 will be an interstellar drive/gateway they'll be building, more drama, more Earth vs. Mars stuff, but by now there will be stations and bases all over the solar system. Season 7 is interstellar travel.
>>
>>220520344
everyone including me has ben thinking the series will end with the discovery of ftl or at least a viable interstellar option. I definently think the season will end with the time jump showing devs city, but the next season is the last one, maybe the very last ep of the last season aka s6 ends with a successful expanse type super fast drive to warp around out own solar system, or a viable mission plan to go to alpha centari thats it, this show is not finding protomatter or leaving our solar system, ever.
>>
>>220518591
>>220518885
me again, ive thought more about the whole come-to-jesus moment.
>kelly finds life which is broadcast to the world(s)
>at the same time, lily, buoyed by the positive reception to her initial films, realises alex should make some kind of speech (perhaps theres some link in the story because his mum is the one finding the ayyys, or its just the general sense that hes the martian lisan al gaib), so she films and uploads him making the case for mars to have a voice
>these two factors combined win over the general public
>specifically, dev is won over by alex, because the show has really belaboured how dev cares about alex as a kind of father figure to him
>see above re. dev to the rescue
>alex does the end-of-season-montage narration about how space is cool in the context of another of lilys films
i dont think alex and dev will actually reconcile though, hed be too upset by the russian girls death. maybe by next season with an implied thawing of relations off camera, like with aleida and margo
>>

>doesn't use dark theme

You should have been on that landing platform
>>
>>220522467
no its not stupid it makes perfect sense, without the loading platform they can't send iridium to earth, its checkmate, earth has to send major support, that means massive crews, food supplies etc. its pretty clever. The Warship does complicate things.

Ok. But that doesn't change that he is a nepo baby who backstabbed Dev his first week on the job. He didn't even give Dev a chance to plead his case.

The Mars people are actual retards. Obviously if you plan to make a life on Mars, extensive automation is going to be required. People are extremely hard to keep alive on Mars, so nothing about living there will be viable without machine support.

i think tabasco is going to desert/defect from the marines. shes a foil for alex in that she feels shes living in the shadow of her parents/grandparents, and i guess the theme of this season is them breaking out of that and finding their own paths. she joined the military because she felt it was what she was supposed to do and that serving her country would help her make amends for what her father did, but seeing her sergeant get domed by shrapnel will have made her realise its not for her and shell go her own way joining the martian rebellion or something

>>220526228
I feel it's mixed. Someone stopped early and still mocked because they didn't go full in, others are indeed just ignorant. Same thing happened with Raised by Wolves. With that said, For All Mankind was monumentally carried by Kinoman and a couple others so let's not pretend most of us aren't here out of sunken cost / need for closure either. This series could be easily two points better if it wasn't for "modern writing".

>For All Mankind was monumentally carried by Kinoman and a couple others so let's not pretend most of us aren't here out of sunken cost
You're not wrong, but I will say I've been liking this seasons new cast members a lot better than previous additions. I think the writers bothered to actually give them personalities now that kinoman + co aren't around to do the heavy lifting, whereas the second generation coasted by having zero personality or character arcs (cough Kelly) because the first generation could pick up their narrative slack as it were.

Some of the later additions were OK. Dev, miles and Sam are all perfectly functional characters. But Alex, lily, and tabasco have all had much more interesting arcs set up for them this season than anything since the original cast.
>>
>>220526514
Sure, but those interesting arcs -only- work withing the framework they spent 4 seasons developing. If this was the first season nobody would care about any of these characters and the show would have flopped already.
>>
>>220526609
Oh yeah I wasn't arguing they're as good as/surpassing kinoman. Just that they're good enough I'm happy to have interesting character arcs to watch again

Dev's thing at least was supposed to be a real city with a decent population, and self-sustaining.
Seems pretty easy to argue that building the city is better than dying over what's essentially nothing. supposedly takes the most powerful countries on earth to keep what looks to be a thousand people alive. doesn't make a lick of sense to pretend this is a free country. it's like a toddler's version of the expanse's belter plot, except the belters are politically-engaged liberal teenagers.

which actually shows he might give a shit about actually colonizing the planet instead of simply making money off it.

having a character betray her country because she believed the space race needed to continue is a much better explanation for things to happen. it's like they forgot that there's basically no reason to go to barren planets and we pretty much need to invent them. it used to be a show about an alt history space race, now it's about fighting soviet capitalism on mars or whatever, so that whole other part of the plot feels dejected.

They used their own smallcraft, you fucking dimwit, and the point of destroying the main docking hub isn't just the platform it's the infrastructure for loading all the fucking iridium efficiently. People can still get in and out using other airlocks, obviously, but what are the M6 gonna do send hundreds of dudes to manually load one of the heaviest elements one little brick at a time? This is a significant strategic victory for the rebels and the fact it also took out a drooling crayon eating retard is cause for celebration.

As for "but they've just given the Marines an excuse" - lol, lmao. They're Marines(and equivalents) working for the most imperialist nations of Earth, anyone who believes they wouldn't be coming down to "pacify" Happy Valley the moment the asteroid was secured is delusional.

I think the implication is he made an additional deal with the authorities after the crisis was over to secretly testify against wossername, the chick who went up to Ranger 1 to sabotage the doohickey, so she took the fall and went to jail to satisfy the demands back home that someone "face the consequences" while he got to stay on Mars with his family.

Like all he had to is say they would be reassigned to new roles or given severance. Also, the whole "we will suprise fire you" doesn't work, since people would notice the automation before then even without leaks. Like yeah, they can sneak raw materials in, but at some point Dev actually has to start installing and testing robots.

Yes. Its zero gravity. Simple pulley and motor system is all you need. You can land ships on the surface, and just attach a pulley system to move the irridium.

It's not that they wouldn't notice the whole time, as they would be phased out over 5 years. Dev's problem was that his plan hinged on them not finding out until he had a sufficient amount of supplies smuggled in to even begin the automation process and Alex leaked the docs during that small window.
But yeah, I agree that it's basically comic book villain level.

He's saying that way of doing things requires a lot more manpower, which is why they built the current system the way it is. They know how to get the resources but with the platform gone that means the Mars colonists are best suited for dealing with that, which in turn gives Mars more bargaining power.
>>
>>220537708
hes clearly pretty fucking autistic and basically just in a death spiral blaming himself for missing some sort of technical thing. that and the autism makes him fail to consider pulling something that reckless would be something kelly would be willing to do, because he wouldnt be willing to do it himself

its not flawless writing but every scene hes had basically characterises him as bazinga big bang theory levels of autism and rigid rule-following (the entire introduction to his character is that he doesnt even want to bother going to titan because the official rule is to wait for confirmed results) so im fine with the excuse being that hes simply too autistic to consider someone breaking protocol to that degree
>>
>>220537736
the earth economies are in freefall, so i suspect the reasoning would be that restarting iridium production at a drip-feed-y rate by loading it manually wouldnt be enough to stave off the mega recession or whatever

They still have to report back. They had a commander change during flight. Mission control will need to know all about that. And they have analyze all the ship diognostics after entry to assess damage to ship and such.

And obviously the main dude and crew would be expected to report that their auto-burn failed. Since that is a super critical error. How could they trust the ship to fly anywhere without understanding that glitch?

Yes, it isn't huge, but neither are the hoppers, and its the hopper pads they destroyed. So we know the marines have a ship capable of landing without a pad. So they can get irridium up.

The Mars plot never had a chance because the asteroid theft would never have been tolerated. Why would Earth just accept that Mars would control the irridium? They would havs sent SEAL team 6 up to Mars immediately. And shot Ed Baldwin in the head Bin Laden style.
>>
>>220538423
takes time to set all of that up, and would still be slower than using the infastructure expressly designed for it. and thats only one stage of it. presumably there are cargo ships designed to dock with the hoppers that haul the iridium back to earth, where they interface with more craft for unloading. plus, that APC thing is one ship, compared to the presumably dozens of hoppers.

yes, the marines could start loading iridium by hand, but it would be at a fraction of the rate of the usual output, which presumably wouldnt be enough to turn things around economically on earth. that one apc is not nearly enough to just turn the tap back on

the resources were never theirs. your houses were funded by people on earth. it takes billions (probably more) to keep you alive.
colonies on the americas became independent because they had developed to a point where they could stand on their own, and fighting the colonial powers still took foreign assistance in many cases.
these people have no claim if they can't do something as basic as feeding themselves. except they will somehow win because they're in the right side of history and people on earth sent like 20 marines or something (no understanding of maths).
i understand why you like this, though. it's a simple plot that redditors can follow. it's good vs evil. heroes against russian bad guys.

because earth controls mars? thats the entire fucking plot of this season? mars is not an independent, it essentially just acts as an outpost for the m6. that was the status quo prior to the events of this season. in season 4, they wanted to push the asteroid to mars not because they wanted to control it as their own martian entity, but because it going to earth would mean mars funding dried up and space exploration would stagnate in low earth orbit

>>220538518

Why does it increase their leverage? That infrastructure now has to repaired either way, whether the Marines or Mars holds it. Mars leverage was irridium. Now they don't have irridium to bargain with. Rigging it with explosives and THREATENING to blow it up would be leverage. But now that its blown up, the marines should black bag every retard on Mars.

You're too caught up in trying to force this girlboss argument to follow basic logic. You want everything to follow you're twisted narrative.

>>220538570
mars' goal now is stalling. that was explained at the start of the episode. the soviet regime is
>2 more weeks
from collapse, and its successor will be willing to cut a deal with mars. so the idea is just to prevent the marines from being able to get the mining operation going again for a fortnight

>>220538477
it was somewhat believable because they couldn't just take the asteroid out of mars, and earth controlled them in the end.
5000 people somehow winning against a planet of billions would be hilarious though.

In what world is Kelly illegally uploading a new flight plan without telling the crew, and then taking over command while her superior tries to solve the crisis she created as her crewmates cheer her on not a girlboss moment?

>. it takes billions (probably more) to keep you alive.
Which is why they are trying to carve out lives for themselves by working to pay for their own shit and mine resources in space. The M6 is greedy and knows the resources can make them more money on earth.
>>
>>220538607
If they are
>2 more weeks to collapse
Then they collapse now whether they accept Mars or not. Mars no longer than send them irridium, so why would they send Mars food? Mars basically just ensured mutual destruction.

Except the Soviets won't actually be destoryed. Overthrown, maybe. But people still live. Everyone on Mars is going to die.
>>
>>220538611
Its silly to think you they couldn't take it out of mars. Gravitational wells are symmetric. It takes the same amount of energy to get captured as it does to escape. If you can insert something into orbit around Mars, you can push something out of Mars orbit.

You can literally see it hasn't landed. They hooked a cord to the entry of the cargo bay, that's the rope Tabasco and the other dude were moving on.
>>
>>220538509
their demands are (or were, now) to not get deported and to have a seat on the m6 council, not full independence
with the collapse of the m6 imminent, thats probably shifted to full independence now, and using the iridium to trade for whatever they cant produce themselves. but that wasnt the goal they set out for
the only reason they cant feed themselves is because dev warcrimed the ag domes
there are so few marines because its specifically the space branch, which is small because the entire space population is so small
watch the show instead of scrolling, zoomzoom

Physical touch down doesn't matter though. Hook the crates of irridium to that cable and give them a shove.

They were running out of food even before Dev had his America moment.

the promise of iridium coming, even if it took a month to actually get there, would probably be a boon for the markets. so if the marines were able to restart production, the economy would start benefitting immediately
>>
>>220538629
i don't understand what you're trying to say here
they're nowhere near self-sufficiency. it's trivial to kill them all or starve them. the issue is that the scale of the colony is completely off for any of this to be happening. it's laughable that you can even have 'civil unrest' with this many people.
>>
>>220538614
ed (male) did pretty much the exact same thing on several occasions. i dont think its a girlboss thing when the show has established it as a baldwin thing
>>
>>220538770
Ok, but what I am saying is that there is no way in which blowing up the docks strengthens Mars negotiating powers. Its mutual destruction, since without irridium, Mars can't trade for food.

The writers are treating it like Iran blocking oil or something. But the difference is that Iran only needs oil to be rich. Iran isn't weeks from starvation.
Blowing it up really only signed their death warrants. There is no reason for Earth to negotiate now. It will take months to fix up the damage either way, so earth might as well do it themselves and just let Mars starve.

Do you watch the show on mute or do you simply not watch it at all?
>>220538570
Mars still has access to the iridium and this has been explained several times ITT. They only blew up one platform that's for easy loading. They have more bargaining power than they did before.
>>220538693
Anon, it's far more economical to use their existing power over the martian to have them do the work than try to launch a takeover mission that will take years and cost billions.
>>220538614

>>220538722
Sure, but now you're moving the goalpost. They didn't land, period.
>>
>>220538886
Landing via teather or on a strut affects nothing about the argument. The argument only requires surface access via ship.
>>
>>220538706
>there are so few marines because its specifically the space branch, which is small because the entire space population is so small
that doesn't change the fact that you need to at least match the forces of your opponent to have a chance.
if the marines have artillery, they can puncture a hole in every habitat and kill them all effortlessly. they could do this by landing somewhere and firing a big enough gun. which goes back to my point about these people having 0 leverage, realistically. but they're going to win because they're le good guys.
>>
The show should go full Alien and have Kelly and the team find some sort parasite that royally fucks them up. Would be kino.
>>
>>220538912
Artillery goes both ways. And its goofy that idea wasn't even proposed. All they had to do was toss one of those explosive barrel packages from a hopper on a trajectory that intersects with the Marine ship and the war would be over.
>>
>>220538908
Yes, it does. Efficiency matters even in zero gravity. You're now being disingenuous.

>korzhenkos government collapses
>new soviet regime immediately strikes deal with mars for a favourable share of iridium when the asteroid is repaired
>the stalemate breaking means isn is able to resume trading food to happy valley and they dont starve
thats the plan, as clearly explained in the show. ive made a couple of assumptions about the specifics of the geopolitics but they told us the reason isn couldnt keep trading food was that they didnt want war on earth, and given the newsreel mentioning kashmir we can probably assume it was india and pakistan on the verge of glassing each other. if the ussr is friendly with mars, india would follow them (as opposed to america), so the tensions would largely be defused

really the big loser is america, but bragg probably loses the election as a result of fumbling the mars situation and jfk jr (also foreshadowed in newsreel) gets in and is very pro-space like his dad
>>
>>220538747
Dev shortened the timeline and that forced the other side to also go for extreme measures. Even more so once they found out the marines were on the way.
>>220538785
>they're nowhere near self-sufficiency.
I said they are working towards that goal, not that they had already achieved it. Dev's big plan was for Meru to be their new home, remember? That's why he was showing Alex the plans.

The marines are teaming up with the forces that are already on Mars and who have been steeling munitions for the past several months. You would know this if you were watching the show.
>if the marines have artillery, they can puncture a hole in every habitat and kill them all effortlessly.
The commander gave special instructions to go nonlethal, not because he cares about their lives but because he DOES NOT want to puncture the fucking habitats. Again, you would have known that if you actually watch the show.

Every discussion thread is filled with idiots and trolls like >>220538842

>>220538975
why would their leverage be any better now that they're negotiating exclusively with the KGB glowies?
am i supposed to believe the evil capitalist KGB glowies won't kill them all in the future, have the leaders suicided, whatever.
>I said they are working towards that goal
yes and they haven't achieved it, meaning they will have masters until they do.

i'm not a troll. genuinely curious. so many shows seem like they're written for a select few people in california and there's no passion behind it. It's like every epic story/topic is just a vehicle for some culture war shit.

>Create crack team of a dozen or so marines
>Master plan is to team up with insurgents on the ground
I assumed this would not be the plan because it's even more retarded.
>he DOES NOT want to puncture the fucking habitats.
habitats can be fixed. the implication is they don't want to kill everyone. people on the colony are already firing lethal munitions everywhere, so it seems you're the one not paying attention?

The M-6 wants to restart the mining operation ASAP and the best way to that is to not kill everyone there and to not damage the infrastructure. Marines teaming up with 'cops' to fight off a bunch of teenagers, miners and farmers is not that big of a stretch.

Why was Dev so shaken up that his explosion killed one of the kids? The show opened with a string of mysterious murders conducted to keep the automation secret, so Dev was already dirty. Plus, his whole plan is likely to cause mass starvation.
