Twitter chatter unfortunately doesn't typically really correlate with viewers in any significant way. The percentage of people on twitter are always going to be a very small percent of people who actually watching the show (or not), regardless of their activity level.

When they said all the questions were on the same topic, my mind went in a different direction for a second, haha.
After the last scene, I just hope things work out a LITTLE better for everyone. Good lord that show gets dark as hell.
So, while Sunday night's preliminary ratings are now out, Showbuzzdaily is warning that the numbers are not accurate since the West Coast was not counted.

Watching the first episode of For All Mankind. Other than the crazy amount of money Apple paid for this, what is the reason I'd watch an alternate history of the space race? My son: 'You read fiction, right?' Me: 'Not of alternate historical events.'
I think there are definitely interesting alt-history stories, but For All Mankind seems to have very little to speak about what it changes and why.
I can't speak for the second season, as I haven't started it yet, but the first season pushes super obviously on how Russia reaching the moon first has an effect on US policy and culture and the need to win.
A main result of this is pushing inclusiveness for women and BIPOC as astronauts in NASA forwards decades.
It shows the Cold War expanding in a different way in regards to the moon base and such and how these changes could make some stuff worse in that regards.
I think it's a really strong alternative history showing another side to the NASA golden age of American exceptionalism and winning compared to how losing can also push change forwards and force different priorities.
I really liked the writing and what it brought up 🤷♂️
Really enjoyed this series. Some incredible talent, wonder if Covid played a factor

‘World Of Dance’ Canceled At NBC After Four Seasons
World of Dance, the nonscripted competition series featuring and exec produced by Jennifer Lopez, has come to an end as NBC opted against a Season 5.

On the topic, I love For All mankind, rarely get's talked about here there's not even an OT despite the new episode being really good so much to talk about, The show for sure foreshadows quite a bit than given credit for, every action has a ripple effect but more subtle, some of it's not directly mentioned but it goes to show how personal lives can have large impacts on events and then reverse. And the inclusiveness as you mention doesn't mean the problems go away and how there's huge walls in place to prevent progress and how each of the characters try overcoming it. Ellen is a big example of that. Second season goes forward with that. Space progress is much more accelerated which also has more long term impacts on daily life (kind of showing how progress held back in a way) but tensions also higher between two nations both countries spending huge amount. Also think Season 2 has a cool trailer which I don't see how anyone doesn't get sold on that.
we have an ot! 😃

Imagine a world where the global space race never ended. This "what-if" take on history from Ronald D. Moore (Outlander, Battlestar Galactica) spotlights the lives of NASA astronauts-the heroes and the rockstars of their time-and their families. Watch For All Mankind now on the Apple TV app...

Sort of off-topic, but my mom grew up completely obsessed with the space race and when I told her about For All Mankind, she refused to watch it because "I refuse to see the soviets winning". She isn't even American lol.we have an ot! 😃

Resetera serach function is trash. If you are ever looking or an OT just type the name of the thing "OT Resetera" in google and it will be the first hit.
What about The Right Stuff on D+?
Or search titles only. Every time someone says they didn't find something I find it right away by doing that.

My one complaint about For All Mankind
is the sheer amount of losing the Russians do during the show. Like they win the race to the moon, and then I guess they "win" the first woman on the moon. And that's it. The rest is all America winning and winning.

Thanks for the OT, I wasn't aware of it. Do we have a place listing all the OTs for current shows? It's not easy to know if any specific show has an OT or not. I never totally know where to post when I want to talk about a show.
Wolfenstein is a lot longer than most movies or TV shows, and has a whole story about "what if the Nazis won?"
Not that I'm aware of, the closest thing we have is The |OT| |OT|: Index, Volunteer, Coordinate, & Collaborate [Read OP!]
Depending on what kind of show you usually like, I think you should stick to it. The alternate history stuff is very well made in my opinion. You feel some of the impacts if this one alternate event pretty soon, and as time passes more and more things also begin diverging in very interesting ways. It's fun.
But really, the reason this show exists is for its characters. The way we follow all these characters is very well done and creates very emotional moments. Some of the acting is absolutely outstanding.
The pacing of the show is also very interesting, I like it a lot. There is so much stuff happening within the 10 episodes of the first season... If it was any other show all this content would have been spread over at least 3 seasons.
Well, it's got the lead from Patriot, so I'm in if for nothing other than that.
It never really was able to match the quality of the first season, so that's okay with me.‘Killing Eve’ to End With Season 4 on AMC/BBC America in 2022

I think The Man in the High Castle would be a better comparison, although I think the show sort of missed the point Phillip K Dick was trying to make with the alt history stuff.
Did the show just continue to be the chase between the two characters?
yeah I thought about mentioning that too, but I haven't read or watched it.

I legit low-key hate Phoebe Waller Bridge for just bailing on the show.

There are times where they literally work together. It stopped being the kind of chase they had in season 1
I still love her for so much of her other stuff but the constant change in show runner each season just seems like such a bad idea. I wonder what kind of show we could have had if she did more than just EP for the show after the first season.

wow!
The first and second seasons of Killing Eve are so great.
There's a great video essay talking about how it's subverting the old clichés plaguing the portrayal of bisexuality in film and TV, how the show is fitting in the cat-and-mouse spy thriller genre, and how it undoubtedly was made with a feminine gaze.
It's a great essay (and not that long). I highly recommend watching it if you like Killing Eve:

I wish I could remember more of the season to tell you but I was barely paying attention to it towards the end and I remember the final scene of the season most and then bits and piece of the rest of the season. Part of it feels like its just a a toxic relationship between the two of them.
Thanks for posting this. I was actually trying to find the thread you made about this because I opened it last night and ended up losing track of it at some point even though I wanted to watch the video.
Let me know what you think!

An acting showcase for Jodie Comer and to a lesser extent Sandra Oh in Season 3 (hopefully they give Eve better things to do next season).
I do agree it's time the show wrapped up, but even with Season 3 being weaker it still had some great moments. It's worth watching for me just to see Jodie and her numerous facial expressions. I know she is buzzing now with a lot of movies in development, but I'm not sure she will have a part that will let her play so many different aspects.
My wife and I watched the first two episodes of For All Mankind and to us it was just a slog through toxic masculinity and political blame-shifting bullshit. We didn't really enjoy it at all.
Does the tone of the show change at all from there? Or should we just skip it?

Was a fun of the original show, not sure what period or different aspects an animated show would cover.
