I haven't either, but they chose to cover all the backstory that happened over that decade through news clips. It's just that : backstory.

For All Mankind - Season 2 |OT| Hi Bob!
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
- OT
They're on the episode page (S2E1) and the main For All Mankind page, actually! Well, at least they were? It looks like they might disappear if you have an in-progress episode going. I don't know! The Apple TV+ interface leaves a lot to be desired.
I can't find these anywhere. If I click on the episode it just launches the show.
I'm double posting to not use my other post with spoilers, but both on my phone and the AppleTV, it's on the show's page if you scroll down. Right above the trailers.
Yeah I looked all over the AppleTV UI and it wasn't there. I opened up the app on my iPhone and they're easy to find. Bizarre. I launched them from my iPhone and Airplayed to my AppleTv. They are exceptional and a must see.

I'd say just like normal. Spoilers allowed on episode drop Friday mornings.
About 10 years. It starts with a montage showing major events in those years - some things happened in reality and others did not. Season 1 ended in 1974 I think. Season 2 starts in 1983.
Loved the first episode, the passing of the torch feel was nice, but obviously we still have the old guard around as well.
Glad you figured it out. The interface is a mess and changes depending on the device and apparently what you've seen. In the future, try tapping details on the episode itself within the episode list. That has been the most consistent trigger for me.
Do it twice. That's what I do when I frequently find myself in similar situations!
Fantastic first episode. I loved the small montage at the beginning and how they are playing with the alternative reality angle... I think this will be a challenge this season will face. They need to keep things recognizable to a certain extend, but they also need to be bold. I want to feel like everything can happen (and they can!) Let's see how far they will push it.
The cool thing with a show like this is just how much everything tells a story. Like when the secretary is talking about the shuttles, she begins with recognizable names and suddenly she mentions a few more. I wonder how economically sound the Soviet Union is. They are definitely better than the real one, and their reach seems also bigger (the Panama Canal scene).
Anyway, I want to see a scientific explanation for everything that happened in the end now...

Did I get it right and they're taking the shuttle to the moon? That's pretty dumb, especially since it seems from the pictures like it's the same shuttle.
Additionally, they seem to have instant communications from the moon (no speed of light lag). Was this the same last season?
As for the episode itself, it was alright. Truth be told I forgot about most of the characters so that thing with Gordon's wife flew above my head. Do we know her new husband?

Speed of light lag to the moon is only like 1.3 seconds each way. It is better that they just skip it since that would make for awkward television.
We only saw the shuttle at Skylab, not the moon in ep 1.
It's still interesting to see it because it makes for a more for an "isolation" feeling that you can't have a real conversation, imo.
Also, no one walked like they're on the moon but I can disregard that cuz it'd be a pain in the ass to show that all the time. The time lag thing is easy.
Regarding the shuttle, I feel like they did say it also ferries people to lunar orbit but maybe I'm wrong. They definitely didn't mention another launcher or capsule.
I recommend watching this video about the shuttle going to the Moon:
I believe the shuttle is an example of what I mentioned in my previous post, of an alternative reality having to mix recognizable with new. The space shuttle might not make sense in the context of the show, but it's extremely cool to see. I definitely believe it's worth it.

Theres should be a link to it on the show's page in the TV app of your iPhone.

Great first episode. Already loved the first season.
So glad it's back and that it's already renewed for a 3rd season. Yay!
And thanks for pointing out that there are small videos showing what happened in the meantime. Very interesting!

Thanks.
It says « can't connect right now » :(
Is it not available in Canada?
The actor playing Molly was only a supporting role last season but now her name is in the main credits. Same for Tracy, still a main cast member, so their stories are far from finished.
Loved the first episode. That solar storm sequence was incredible.
I binged all 10 episodes last year so I was quite disappointed when the first episode of season 2 ended and I wasn't able to just immediately watch the next one. I thought for sure Apple dropped whole seasons in one go but obviously not.
As a Dutchman who is a fan of all things space related I was happy to see they included Wubbo Ockels, our first astronaut.
not to keen on the cliffhanger :(
Good episode, and the cast feel more confident in their roles now. But man, 9 years did not treat Gordo well, lol.
Yes, they just killed her, just not immediately. The question is when does she die.

Didn't realize he was a real person. I forget how good they are using historical references.
I would also recommend the short films that fill in the timeline between seasons. Nice bit of color added to the world. Especially the one about John Lennon surviving his shooting. That hit hard.
Hit details on the episode and scroll down. Long press when selecting the episode if on Apple TV hardware. If you haven't started the episode yet, or you finished it, they'll also be on the show's main page.
You gotta assume Molly is a goner but faking her dosimeter means it'll be a dragged out thing.
found it - god thats annoying. 90% of poeple will miss that. They even have a damn 'bonus materials' row but don't put them there.
Just saw this video about the event at the end of the episode:
The guy is not an expert but did some research about the plausability of the scenario. It seems stuff like the sand levitating is accurate, but the show might have take some licenses with it.

Yeah, it's bad. They clearly stuffed things into an interface not design for anything but basic episode delivery.
The way the show skips time (which I love) I wouldn't be surprised if season 3 has an entire new cast anyway. Don't see how they can keep the current crop relevant. So it probably won't just be Molly leaving.
To be honest, I don't mind. It's already hard to visualise these phenomena; if you want to convey some kind of urgency in a visual medium you often have to 'over-do it' to get it across.
He passed away in 2014 (because of cancer). He recorded a pretty emotional speech a day before he died:
You might be right, but in Star Trek Discovery they promoted a supporting cast member to main cast for her final episode.
It's done as it affects awards and fees apparently.
Me neither. The Expanse for example did the same thing.
And it was an incredible scene. It was really a wonderful first episode.
