I appreciate that they have to begrudgingly accept that Elon exists. You just know any other show would have just completely ignored SpaceX, even if it is Not SpaceX.
The "unmanned probe" that North Korea launched at the beginning of the season was a one-way suicide trip that succeeded at landing the first man on Mars

>last episode is called Stranger in a Stranger Land >"The Martian crew debates how to save the life of one of their own." >1h22min runtime
almost double of today's which means they did ran short on time with the episodes wasted
it saved the episode, kinda glad they did it like this since most are gonna forget the scene before
right before helios, nasa and the soviets launched to mars, nk sended what everyone assumed it was an unmanned probe, turns out the unmanned probe was a one way ticket to mars, no clue of they just sended him to die for the glory of nk, or maybe they assumed the americans were gonna have to rescue him, or there is a return vehicle we don't know about yet, but in any case it seems nk won

It's possible it was sent with the hopes of one-upping the other programs, but when the mission went to shit just cut their losses rather than admit to their frickup. The capsule isn't even designed for a landing, let alone one on Mars.

Probably it was designed with a lander, but it may have malfunctioned and our guy had no other choice but to land in the capsule.
At any rate, for sure it was designed as a one-way mission since I don't see how a return trip is possible with something that small.
hey that's my post with the grammar error, "going to there" instead of going there.
Good thing is we should be done with all the dramashit since there is only 1 episode left.
the reason that north koreans starve so much is they had to fatten one cosmonaut up enough that he could survive on his fat reserves the entire way to mars
i tried. i made it maybe 5 minutes before shutting it off. this show sucks now. its just interpersonal drama between astronaut families. nobody wanted this shit.
No one cares about the people, we all care about the alternative history and space missions. No cares about Karen and her drama. No even gives a shit about prego chink.
No one cares about your character's stoylines and b plots homosexual, we are here for two things the what if alternative history and space missions. This show could change actors ever fricking season no one would care. Frick even every episode Karen doesn't matter, chink prego doesn't matter, druggy washup guy don't care.
Maybe you ought to stick to shows with light sabers until you grow up a bit more. 4AM is TV for big people.

Oh wow, 24 times the average demand for an Apple TV+ series? That's staggering. Hey, you like sci-fi so you're probably good at math right - what's 24 times fricking nothing? lol
>Stories are about people: how they think, how they feel
Yeah everyone's a fricking woke moron from 2022 transplanted back in time to act out Current Year social issues. It's unbelievably shitty and dishonest writing. They just had russians celebrating a gay black astronaut. You can't get russians in 2022 to touch a gay black. Fricking ridiculous writing.
Feels like progressive fanfic at this point.
Basically, all the "Coal" people and Christians trying to destroy everything, but the diverse cast overcomes everything. At least Best Korea won the space race.
This is exactly what it has become and I fricking hate the naive world views depicted in this shitshow as well. >We have to help the Russians, who blew up their ship because they are half-assed morons, because....well because we just do, okay!?!
It's moronic. If they had let the russians just die I would believe it...frick this naive homosexualry
Yeah, I dropped off halfway through the last episode. There is just no suspense anymore, it's all so predictable. I mean, the concept is really cool but the execution just isn't there for some reason
Well they make it to Mars and the Russians and Americans are working together. However there was a throwaway line of a North Korean probe going to Mars a little earlier and it turns out they found the probe.
kinoman, soviet commander, defector are not coming back, maybe one of the helios astronauts, oh and a few people on the jsc bombing including margo, and maybe black elon
Well, it just another sign that space is becoming increasingly international affair with even little nations and space companies being able to compete with the established superpowers. If the North Koreans can pull that stun, so can Japan, China, India, Japan, Europe, Brazil, Iran, Israel, Algeria and Nigeria and other soon to join the club.

no you see we gonna get another stupid drama and have 1 hour of actual interesting plot.
goddamnit I wish this show was good. I watched 3 episodes of the first season but dropped it cause I don't wanna see moronic women b***hing at eachother, wokeness, and bottom of the barrel "drama." The aesthetic and setup is really cool though. Such a waste.
How much of a frickin mutant is Kelly going to pop out? the malnutrition, the high co2, the radiation, the low gravity, the psychological damage of being a hapa. Are the americans and soviets going to be fighting over who gets to claim the first downie goblin in space?
This shit had me rolling. Even more absurd, their Nixon was a one-term president who lost the space race. But I guess he still opened trade with China and founded the EPA.
If you watch the episode closely there is a second NK probe that landed after the ship with the cosmonaut.
It is shown when they are displaying all probes on Mars.
The one with astronaut is named DPKR-1 and is close to Happy Valley, but there is another named DPKR-2 and is located half the planet away.
I am guessing this might have been ascent vehicle that missed it whole landing area by huge margin.
Frick the troony president
Frick Elon "Harambe" Musk

Poyekhali!
Hollup, I really enjoyed Condor and I haven't met anyone else that has seen it. What was woke about it? was it cancelled or do we get a surprise season 3?
>Unironically how many Kazakh, Tajik, Kalmyk, Buryat, or Uzbeki Astronauts did they have?
2 Kazaksh, 1 Uzbek, 1 Azari
Maybe more. These are the obvious ones.
They also had intercosmos:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interkosmos
The program was formed in April 1967 in Moscow.[1][2] All members of the program from USSR were given the Hero of the Soviet Union medal or the Order of Lenin. The program included the allied east-European states of the Warsaw Pact, Eastern Bloc, CoMEcon, and other socialist states like Afghanistan, Cuba, Mongolia, and Vietnam. In addition, pro-Soviet non-aligned states such as India and Syria participated,[3][4] and even states such as the United Kingdom, France and Austria, despite them being capitalist states.[5][6]
Truly kino back on the menu.
It takes balls to give such ending, I though they will find a dead guy inside the space vehicle. But this...this is truly epic.VNHKJ
Season finale she loses the baby, they find out it was an induced miscarriage caused by the soviets, and Ed kills the doctor and gets killed in return.
Come on, this is easy. Let me make more risky speculations :
Schizos who lost their job because they worked in the petrol industry make a terror attack/assassination attempt. The second Stevens son is involved in it.
North Korea claims parts of Mars for themselves, saying they were here first and propose China to join them if they back up their claim at the UN Assembly.
Everybody wants to get to Mars to do the same, thus mass funding Dev who founded his own SpaceX to get his fleet of spaceships.
I HATE it when Hollywood says "North Korea" when they just meant "China". Just like in the new Red Dawn or in Homefront. They are not Korean, they are CHINESE! Just rebranding them as a less PR-complicated race is stupid.
After seeing a homosexual couple be president, Communism rules most of the world, and Literal Gay Black folk from outspace are heroes now just for being gay, This is How I want to show to end....Actually this is how I wasnt to world to end now.
Yeah it's EXTREMELY woke. Only other show that I know that's this heavy handed with their woke shit was Condor.
It's ok, /misc/tards are a bit exaggerating.
Just skip gay president scenes and it will be ok.
The thing with gay astronaut I can buy and it is done ok.
i skipped every b plot line, gay president, gay Black person from outspace, Chink and Slav make space baby, kid with a milf obsession, Incel about to go bomb nasa, Most of Elon Black scenes, and it literally boils down to around 10 - 15 min episodes, and its pretty good, but every once in a while i watch the b plot lines and its fricking moronic. BUt I gay it, its mostly geared to gays and women. I have no idea why they added black people, they dont watch sci fi or anything that doesnt have rap.
>'Hey, fellow astronaut high out of his mind on painkillers, can you watch the monitor for a moment. The other astronauts are working with an extremely dangerous drill and need safety oversight. I just need to turn my back for moment for no good reason. You can handle that, right?'
They don't make it clear in the show but they think he's just been overdoing it on the uppers, which are a thing that everyone's going to be using in some capacity on that mission. Kinoman specifically confronts him about using 'go pills', which are basically medical meth. They didn't realise he was actually suffering from a serious opiate abuse problem because why the frick would you assume that from a hero astronaut on Mars.
Both are bad of course but they're different magnitudes of problem.
It wasn't clear at all and came across as a contrived effort to create conflict/drama moving into the third act. I cannot stand the character of Danny - he's insufferable. I want to punch him every time I see his sour mug on screen. (Same for Margo).
S3E4 is a poorly executed Whacky Racers in space.
What happened to Molly Cobb??? They unceremoniously axed her character by making her blind. Somehow she's still main cast this season. I hope she comes back in this last episode and does a tap dance on Margo's treasonous ass. I'm not watching the next season. Will be switching back to HBO after this.
>It wasn't clear at all
I absolutely agree. It's a super important detail that's completely lost if you either miss it or don't have the rather specific background knowledge. Even then I had to freezeframe the pills he was popping to verify they were opiate pain killers and not go pills.
And yeah, really hoping something karmic happens to Danny sooner or later.
>They unceremoniously axed her character by making her blind. Somehow she's still main cast this season. I hope she comes back
Seems like an obvious setup. Very diverse to have a blind NASA manager.
Is S3 better than S2? I loved S1, but I quite at the third episode in S2 because it seemed boring and it seemed like they tripled down on the SJW shit. I get even S1 was pozzed, but they seemed like realistic diversity characters istead of walking tropes. Except Tracey, but she gets a pass for being hot.
Streaming shows are allowed to play it much looser with time on account of not having to fit into any conventional scheduling. Odds are they either cut a subplot and didn't do anything to make up the time or 'paid it forwards' to the finale.
I have no clue what show everyone in this thread have been watching but this show is remarkably not woke at all. The mere presence of gays or blacks is not enough to make something unbearably leftist unless you're a total ideologue who's been mindbroken by the culture war.
I mean in contrast to a show like The Boys, where the writers clearly have a burning hatred for large portions of America enough to put an analogue of them in the show and portray them as psychopaths. In SENPAI it's more just "here is the space program, it is diverse and the president is a lesbian"
They are pretty on the nose sometimes, example this episode: >President comes out gay >Announces gay people ok in the armed forces >Everyone "applaudes" they gay guy on mars >"Bout time america came to her senses" >The guy who is worried about catching aids suddendly is ok with it because President is gay and makes rules for gay to ok
The show isn't as bad as others but sometimes the writercirclejerk really shines through. The parts that stop being a story and looking at the viewer and telling them see: "this is right, this is wrong" are always the worst.
The things depicted are not the problem it's how they are handeld.
I really liked Danielle's story in the earlier seasons, this season her stepson: "old white guy always getting what the want" this to me doesn't feel like a line in this world. Same with Ed implying she gets the part because she is black? The whole rightwing conspiracy Alex Jones stuff.
The Russian guy getting over his problems with the gay guy isn't something that happened immediately, they were on Mars for months and had to work with each other in order to not die, and the fact they were friends before that shot probably helped too.
As for Ellen they established it wasn't something even most people accepted, and I assume will probably result in her impeachment.
>The mere presence of gays or blacks is not enough to make something unbearably leftist
It's an alt reality show about the space race and we've spent roughly equal time on homos this season. > remarkably not woke
You're swimming in it with US media so you probably don't even notice at this point.
No I notice plenty, but you have to be completely naive or dishonest to think that this show is as outspokenly leftist as the vast majority of modern television. Instead of being a hateful regressive leftist want session it is simply liberal in the sense of liberalism from the 90s and 00s.
The show isn't trying to be divisive against people on the right or spiteful towards white people or anything but genuinely inclusive which is honestly refreshing this deep into the culture war.
it's literally stated in the show that the only reason Danielle is an astronaut is because she's black. she's also commander of the Mars mission because of a NASA selection committee, not on the basis of her being the best candidate.
Poland is crippled in SENPAI.
Season 2 in intro mentions:
-Pope John Paul II is killed by assassin
-All Solidarity leadership gets arrested before they make it a movement capable of stirring up trouble(good thing in my opinion as a Pole-they were globohomosexual puppets)
-Thatcher gets whacked(in OTL she was strongly supportive of Polish Solidarity and provided political and financial support)
Funny enough we have both a series about Poland where Solidarity was crushed and communist rule never ended just transformed into China style regime(better than OTL IMHO)
And Communist Catholics existed as a faction of opposition in Poland(sadly they were defeated by Western stooges)
Soyuz normally carries food for 30 days for 3 people.
So that is 3 months for 1 person under normal conditions.
If they stripped it of return fuel, science equipment etc and made some modifications maybe they could increase it to 9 months.
Problem is water and air.
He might have a heated pressurized tent and some supplies that were dropped off earlier by Soviet probe or something.
For water maybe he digs out ice from beneath the sand and melts it?
Soyuz can carry enough supplies of food for one year for 1 person I guess.
He might be sheltering in cave covered by some pressurized material.
Yes it launched 2 weeks before them and it episode 9 shows another probe on Mars as they are PRK-1 and PRK-2 on the globe display.
The one next to Happy Valley is PRK-1. Maybe the other one missed the landing site and was an ascent module.
As I recall, didn’t its development happen in large part because Kissinger and Nixon were trying to get them into the global community and wedge them against the USSR? That was around the 1970s to my recollection, the Soviet Union not falling would make it more important to try and get China’s industrial capacity going.
China didn't develop like it did in our timeline since the soviet union never fell
Remember what happened in T square? It was because China communist almost collapse, the fall of the Soviet Union allow the reformers to pass the last changes otherwise China would be similar to the CCCP.
I miss so much the cold war
Does this show get better after the 1st season? I thought it was some type of feminism/woman can do everything men can do type show from Apple TV. I got baited by the first episode and all the Von Braun stuff.
OTL - best Korea develops nukes despite all odds and sanctions, becomes an international pariah.
ATL - best Korea lands first on mars despite less tech, funding, and prestige. Becomes a surprise partner in space tech and exploration and proves they really did abandon their missile program in favor of space, leading them towards a path of re-integration with the international community (not reunification). This show is all about showing that humanity as a whole can push forward into space despite their ideologies and forms of government.
>leading them towards a path of re-integration with the international community (not reunification). This show is all about showing that humanity as a whole can push forward into space despite their ideologies and forms of government.
Next episode the Korean cosmonaut goes full commando on Dannielle and her American crew, locks them up in the base, tortures Danny till he reveals Phoenix passcodes, grabs Popeye with a hostage, docks to Phoenix, vents everyone to space and returns to Earth reporting on successful mission accomplished to great comrade Kim
>North Korean cosmonaut: Oh! Zdravstvuyte commrade! Glory to the CCCP and DPRK! >Based soviet cosmonaut: annyeonghasibnikka!! commrade! >North Korean cosmonaut: Why the CCCP send monkeys with you?
Newscast in episode 3 I think where they show the Russians launching Mars-94 and the newscaster sums up the people taking the launch window as the US the Russians Helios and the Norks
putting aside the woke shit and the awful empty drama we got this season, what characters do we have left for season 4 ?
Ed is old as frick and could die next episode for any reason. We could see him around next season from the side.
Danielle could maybe hang around but she's old too and her character's arc is complete.
Margo is going to get Guantanamo'ed pretty soon.
Ellen is getting impeached and even if she avoids it, her arc looks done too.
Molly is nowhere to be seen(neither can she lmao)and she's old as frick too.
Karen will probably be the next Helios CEO and stick around. Looks like she's sucking enough dicks to be kept around.
Aleida is probably the best "young" lead we got for next season. She calmed down a bit from previous season.
So far we're stuck with a handful of bad characters:
Danny is a terrible actor, and an insufferable brat. If he's to be the next lead male actor, we're fricked.
Jenny has no charisma, nothing, except for her soon-to-be dead baby.
Danny's brother could take the spotlight but god if his story isn't a borefest. And what an ugly homosexual man.
This looks really bad tbh
I literally want all of the young people on the show to die, even Aleida. I'd also like to have seen the lesbi coming out story instead be a more nuanced and complicated process. It was dumb writing that the recording was what the entire thing is based on.
>Ed is old as frick and could die next episode for any reason. We could see him around next season from the side.
Kill KINOMAN then the show will die >Margo is going to get Guantanamo'ed pretty soon.
Please escape to the CCCP just to made it fun >Ellen is getting impeached and even if she avoids it, her arc looks done too.
This is the most stupid plot device of the show, she must be remain silent not matter how gay she is >Aleida is probably the best "young" lead we got for next season. She calmed down a bit from previous season.
Kill this prostitute inmediatly
They are gonna keep a lot of the old characters. Remember how Ellen talked about the whole stemcell research? It will cure Aleidas father dementia, give Molly her eyes back and extend the life of all the old fricks for 1 more season.
I kept thinking that since there were so many close up shots of that damn statue that it was going to be destroyed somehow (bombing like ok city possibly since it's around 95?), but nope there it is sitting in the back of a truck instead because that would have totally been possible.
In front of proud Ramhongsaek Konghwagukgi, I pledge allegiance to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to devote myself to the perpetual glory of the free nation.
I forget, is there a south korea in this setting? I had in my head that the alternative history had NK unite the whole peninsula but can't substantiate this.
Why does pedo Karen get rewarded so often by the writers? She groomed a kid and fricked up his life. She even admits to heis brother she was just using him with a smile. Meanwhile Danny gets made to be a complete frick up and the show treats it like it's all on him

BEST KOREA STRIKES
RONG RIVE THE ETERNAR READER!
for me, it's not-starship
I appreciate that they have to begrudgingly accept that Elon exists. You just know any other show would have just completely ignored SpaceX, even if it is Not SpaceX.
Lol people are mad that the black woman is second.
really? all i see is gays going YAAAS QUEEEN and the rest is surprised at the ending, which makes me think gays stopped after the ellen bit
this makes me want to fire up my old Space Engineers server
Bro, that CGI at the end

i hate how easily you got this (you) out of me, cause I can't tell if youre moronic or not
Shit show but that was absolute kino.
These new primitive building videos are really getting out of hand.
Will next episode have the us and russia rightfully recognize the Best Korean leader as a deity?
What happened?
The "unmanned probe" that North Korea launched at the beginning of the season was a one-way suicide trip that succeeded at landing the first man on Mars
Fricking finally. I was getting tired of the lovey dovey moron shit this season has devolved into.
and >we called it
Chad Korea does it again.
Too bad it was ruined by the utter homosexualry in the scene just before it.
>last episode is called Stranger in a Stranger Land

Forget people on mars, that's immediate do-not-pass-go impeachment and removal from office by both houses of congress the next day
And the Vice President is not space-friendly at all
that face cgi, jesus
Based soviet cosmonaut, he inmediatly knows that something is wrong, female black only smile like a fricking fool...
North korea won the race to Mars? please explain
right before helios, nasa and the soviets launched to mars, nk sended what everyone assumed it was an unmanned probe, turns out the unmanned probe was a one way ticket to mars, no clue of they just sended him to die for the glory of nk, or maybe they assumed the americans were gonna have to rescue him, or there is a return vehicle we don't know about yet, but in any case it seems nk won

How the frick can he breath ?
Korean people are NOT black so no problem to breath
Ok, but the real question is why didn't they announce it?
Because he crash landed with no comms. Why should they announce failure?
>we
You yourself didnt call anything, loser. Stop riding other peoples coattails.
hey that's my post with the grammar error, "going to there" instead of going there.
Good thing is we should be done with all the dramashit since there is only 1 episode left.
North Korea is so fricking based, How and Why South Korea is a contry again?
>What happened?
Mars became the RED planet.
are we talking about irl or just the show?
WHAT DID HE EAT?
Yes
the same thing he ate in North Korea
nothing
What does 6 months of food even look like?
on a starvation diet you can live off 300grams a day - or 10kilos a month. Thats not alot of weight.
Water is the real kicker
>Water is the real kicker
dude's been pissing in a bootleg brita pitcher this whole time
the reason that north koreans starve so much is they had to fatten one cosmonaut up enough that he could survive on his fat reserves the entire way to mars
He trained about survive without food...fricking commies they can win the cold war
I like how everyone assumes he was alone

what's the tl;dw of the episode?
It feels like a two-parter, ask us again next week
> No! I can't watch stories about people! I'm a little robot boy inside!
No one cares about the people, we all care about the alternative history and space missions. No cares about Karen and her drama. No even gives a shit about prego chink.
Anon, you're a robot wearing a flesh suit. Stories are about people: how they think, how they feel and how they act.
No one cares about your character's stoylines and b plots homosexual, we are here for two things the what if alternative history and space missions.

They just had russians celebrating a gay black astronaut. You can't get russians in 2022 to touch a gay black. Fricking ridiculous writing.
Kinoman is the only reason to watch this shitshow. Also what is the point of all this gay drama?
they've got their very own Dey Heatia on this show?!
she da qween of da astranots n sheeeit knowmsayn?
Margo can fricking get it.
Feels like progressive fanfic at this point.
Basically, all the "Coal" people and Christians trying to destroy everything, but the diverse cast overcomes everything. At least Best Korea won the space race.
This is exactly what it has become and I fricking hate the naive world views depicted in this shitshow as well.

It's moronic. If they had let the russians just die I would believe it...frick this naive homosexualry
Yeah, I dropped off halfway through the last episode. There is just no suspense anymore, it's all so predictable. I mean, the concept is really cool but the execution just isn't there for some reason
>interpersonal drama between astronaut families
I fast forward through this crap.
Is this show good? I guess iv just been spoiled by reading the thread but I'm assuming the fact that a Korean got their first isn't everything
it was okay. s3 is shit.
>"Wait. North Korea has a man on Mars?"
>"Always has been."
Margo is finally exposed
What the hell did she think was going to happen when she told that dude what was up
she's gonna die when jimmy bombs jsc, and they'll never know she was a traitor
I want this shit show to end.
BTW - guess who makes it to S04.
Fricking spoilers reeee
>tfw that name could be asian or welsh
also, she's hot.
wait what the frick? isnt this show about the space race? thats why i never watched it. what is this?
Well they make it to Mars and the Russians and Americans are working together. However there was a throwaway line of a North Korean probe going to Mars a little earlier and it turns out they found the probe.
It's so fricking stupid i lol'd
I'm done with this show
UH OH CHINKY
Place your bets on this season ending kill.
kinoman, soviet commander, defector are not coming back, maybe one of the helios astronauts, oh and a few people on the jsc bombing including margo, and maybe black elon
the next time skip is just 5 years. Ed might still be in.
There will be interesting political consequences of communist countries winning over USA TWICE.
>the next time skip is just 5 years

Last scene of Episode 10 is a fleet of these landing on Mars.
LEAKED AFTER CREDIT SCENES FROM EPISODE 10
Witness and check it!
glory to our great leader
HOLY FRICK.
ALL PRAISE THE SUPREME LEADER
HOLY FRICKING NUMBERS!!!
THE SUPREMACY OF BEST KOREA IS UNQUESTIONABLE
Not even a surprise, Noth Korea best Korea
Numbers comfirm, I kneel
checked
Also, what are the political implication of this and how are they going to introduce the Chinese without upsetting irl Chinese?
Well, it just another sign that space is becoming increasingly international affair with even little nations and space companies being able to compete with the established superpowers. If the North Koreans can pull that stun, so can Japan, China, India, Japan, Europe, Brazil, Iran, Israel, Algeria and Nigeria and other soon to join the club.
Palestinian Space Program
Vatican Space Program
Turkey too.
no you see we gonna get another stupid drama and have 1 hour of actual interesting plot.
KEK was here my frens
>WOAW HOLY SHIT LOOK AT NORTH KOREA SHOWING THEIR OUTDATED JETS WITH HECKIN RGB NEON COLORS BRO!!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY LIKE FRICKIN CYBERPUNK AF!!!!
goddamnit I wish this show was good. I watched 3 episodes of the first season but dropped it cause I don't wanna see moronic women b***hing at eachother, wokeness, and bottom of the barrel "drama." The aesthetic and setup is really cool though. Such a waste.
How much of a frickin mutant is Kelly going to pop out? the malnutrition, the high co2, the radiation, the low gravity, the psychological damage of being a hapa. Are the americans and soviets going to be fighting over who gets to claim the first downie goblin in space?
The CGI in this show is so poor that it completely takes me out of it. Wish this had a bigger budget.
This shit had me rolling. Even more absurd, their Nixon was a one-term president who lost the space race. But I guess he still opened trade with China and founded the EPA.
Daily reminder that Mars is a RED planet.
I absolutely laughed out loud when I saw this and I'm genuinely excited to see where the actual frick they go with it.
SURPRISE KOREAN SPACE homieS
If you watch the episode closely there is a second NK probe that landed after the ship with the cosmonaut.
It is shown when they are displaying all probes on Mars.
The one with astronaut is named DPKR-1 and is close to Happy Valley, but there is another named DPKR-2 and is located half the planet away.
I am guessing this might have been ascent vehicle that missed it whole landing area by huge margin.
SPACE RACE IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
This time its America and Russia against the chinks.
Hell yeah.
>remember being initially excited for this show
>turns out to be homosexual sjw bs
What a shame
Isn’t this that woke roasty astronauts show? lmao you homosexuals will watch absolutely anything huh
Frick the troony president
Frick Elon "Harambe" Musk
Frick the gay Black person from outerspace with AIDS
Frick Margo the (fem)nazi
Frick the Helios psycho on meds
Frick the conspiracy schizos not on meds
Long live the Marxist-Leninist way of life
Poyekhali!
>Cinemaphile is watching this
>MUH DIVEERSITYYYYYYYYYY
Thanks for warning me, I almost watched this garbage.
holy frick I would have been shitting on this threads every time I saw them if I had known how gay this shit actually is
others like you tried and failed because the show is kino
Don’t you have a George Floyd statue to go kneel to or something
boring
The utter state of it all
Yeah it's EXTREMELY woke. Only other show that I know that's this heavy handed with their woke shit was Condor.
Hollup, I really enjoyed Condor and I haven't met anyone else that has seen it. What was woke about it? was it cancelled or do we get a surprise season 3?
>Soviet diversity
Unironically how many Kazakh, Tajik, Kalmyk, Buryat, or Uzbeki Astronauts did they have?
>Unironically how many Kazakh, Tajik, Kalmyk, Buryat, or Uzbeki Astronauts did they have?
2 Kazaksh, 1 Uzbek, 1 Azari
Maybe more. These are the obvious ones.
They also had intercosmos:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interkosmos
The program was formed in April 1967 in Moscow.[1][2] All members of the program from USSR were given the Hero of the Soviet Union medal or the Order of Lenin. The program included the allied east-European states of the Warsaw Pact, Eastern Bloc, CoMEcon, and other socialist states like Afghanistan, Cuba, Mongolia, and Vietnam. In addition, pro-Soviet non-aligned states such as India and Syria participated,[3][4] and even states such as the United Kingdom, France and Austria, despite them being capitalist states.[5][6]
Genuinely interesting, thanks.
Holy fricking zog how do people subject themselves to this
>soviets emphasizing diversity in space race to dab on americans
Wow, this is so unrealistic!
Reminds me of that netflix show Hollywood. Why are there so many "alternate history where no white people" being made?
> Why are there so many "alternate history where no white people" being made?
Most characters in 4AM are white though
>what if...the OPPOSITE of really life happened...Heh, oh yeah, the chuds won't like this one.
I am from Brazil and never get the american obssesion for "diversity", sure white people get easy thing centuries ago but not anymore
why ruin something with their shoe horn shit?
t. hasn't watched the show
You're right Ive seen some bits that are worth watching on yt.
I hate this timeline so much, we could be colonizing space already.
Truly kino back on the menu.
It takes balls to give such ending, I though they will find a dead guy inside the space vehicle. But this...this is truly epic.VNHKJ
Season finale she loses the baby, they find out it was an induced miscarriage caused by the soviets, and Ed kills the doctor and gets killed in return.
Calling it.
Come on, this is easy. Let me make more risky speculations :
Schizos who lost their job because they worked in the petrol industry make a terror attack/assassination attempt. The second Stevens son is involved in it.
North Korea claims parts of Mars for themselves, saying they were here first and propose China to join them if they back up their claim at the UN Assembly.
Everybody wants to get to Mars to do the same, thus mass funding Dev who founded his own SpaceX to get his fleet of spaceships.
>teaser for season 5 is ships mining the asteroids
>tfw we're gonna have to gas every fricken belter
>Entire series has been a stealth prequel to The Expanse
I'd be here for it.
No. Next season is going to be about trannies and possibly non-white awareness lead by Chinese and North Korean.
As Long as I direct it
>Expanse
>not Freelancer and Starlancer universe

>innie scum dunno how real beltalowda, eh?
Gas all Belters.
To na sasa nothing, wellwala.
I HATE it when Hollywood says "North Korea" when they just meant "China". Just like in the new Red Dawn or in Homefront. They are not Korean, they are CHINESE! Just rebranding them as a less PR-complicated race is stupid.
Why can't Hollywood just assume its choices?
Chinese money is a hell of a drug.

After seeing a homosexual couple be president, Communism rules most of the world, and Literal Gay Black folk from outspace are heroes now just for being gay, This is How I want to show to end....Actually this is how I wasnt to world to end now.
nope, downtrodden astronaut's wife turned Boss-babe.
AMOGUS?
is that a fricking drug deal on mars?
They just went there to STEAL rightful Norfkorean tech and got BTFO by the JUCHE CHAD
How awful has season 3 been? Illegal immigrant girl singlehandedly ruined season 2 for me.
It's ok, /misc/tards are a bit exaggerating.
Just skip gay president scenes and it will be ok.
The thing with gay astronaut I can buy and it is done ok.
Reevaluate your taste and your life
No you do.
i skipped every b plot line, gay president, gay Black person from outspace, Chink and Slav make space baby, kid with a milf obsession, Incel about to go bomb nasa, Most of Elon Black scenes, and it literally boils down to around 10 - 15 min episodes, and its pretty good, but every once in a while i watch the b plot lines and its fricking moronic. BUt I gay it, its mostly geared to gays and women. I have no idea why they added black people, they dont watch sci fi or anything that doesnt have rap.
>that webm
Fricking lost it
>'Hey, fellow astronaut high out of his mind on painkillers, can you watch the monitor for a moment. The other astronauts are working with an extremely dangerous drill and need safety oversight. I just need to turn my back for moment for no good reason. You can handle that, right?'
They don't make it clear in the show but they think he's just been overdoing it on the uppers, which are a thing that everyone's going to be using in some capacity on that mission. Kinoman specifically confronts him about using 'go pills', which are basically medical meth. They didn't realise he was actually suffering from a serious opiate abuse problem because why the frick would you assume that from a hero astronaut on Mars.
Both are bad of course but they're different magnitudes of problem.
It wasn't clear at all and came across as a contrived effort to create conflict/drama moving into the third act. I cannot stand the character of Danny - he's insufferable. I want to punch him every time I see his sour mug on screen. (Same for Margo).
S3E4 is a poorly executed Whacky Racers in space.
What happened to Molly Cobb??? They unceremoniously axed her character by making her blind. Somehow she's still main cast this season. I hope she comes back in this last episode and does a tap dance on Margo's treasonous ass. I'm not watching the next season. Will be switching back to HBO after this.
Thanks for letting us know. Still watching For All Mankind S04 in 2023.
>It wasn't clear at all
I absolutely agree. It's a super important detail that's completely lost if you either miss it or don't have the rather specific background knowledge. Even then I had to freezeframe the pills he was popping to verify they were opiate pain killers and not go pills.
And yeah, really hoping something karmic happens to Danny sooner or later.
Danny or Margo. Have to pick only one to die. Tough call.
>They unceremoniously axed her character by making her blind. Somehow she's still main cast this season. I hope she comes back
Seems like an obvious setup. Very diverse to have a blind NASA manager.
Or alternatively just have her die of cancer.
> Whatever they do it's woke!
You're damaged inside.
Is S3 better than S2? I loved S1, but I quite at the third episode in S2 because it seemed boring and it seemed like they tripled down on the SJW shit. I get even S1 was pozzed, but they seemed like realistic diversity characters istead of walking tropes. Except Tracey, but she gets a pass for being hot.
Mars is gay. When are they going to do a Encilidas, Europa, or Pluto season?
It’s this series good? I dropped it after the super genius Latinx girl and her bs drama
it's bs drama all the way down
>KINO IS BACK ON THE MENU
I'll be the judge of that
Didn’t read the thread but just finished S1 before and it was kino
Your in for one of the worst seasonal quality drops in TV.
S2 is terrible except for breasts mcmoomboobs
S3 is just nothing happens the season
>Wait, North Korea is best Korea?
>Always has been.
why the frick is the episode only 45 minutes
Streaming shows are allowed to play it much looser with time on account of not having to fit into any conventional scheduling. Odds are they either cut a subplot and didn't do anything to make up the time or 'paid it forwards' to the finale.
Finale is 1:22. Moved some scenes around.
I have no clue what show everyone in this thread have been watching but this show is remarkably not woke at all. The mere presence of gays or blacks is not enough to make something unbearably leftist unless you're a total ideologue who's been mindbroken by the culture war.
I don't know if it's unbearably leftist, but it's definitely heavily leftist. At least they don't seem to "punch down" at their political opposition
I mean in contrast to a show like The Boys, where the writers clearly have a burning hatred for large portions of America enough to put an analogue of them in the show and portray them as psychopaths. In SENPAI it's more just "here is the space program, it is diverse and the president is a lesbian"
It's worse. This show is the purest military technocrat dream.
Anon, the show has women in it. WOMEN! How can you not see how outrageous that is?
They are pretty on the nose sometimes, example this episode:
>President comes out gay
>Announces gay people ok in the armed forces
>Everyone "applaudes" they gay guy on mars
>"Bout time america came to her senses"
>The guy who is worried about catching aids suddendly is ok with it because President is gay and makes rules for gay to ok
The show isn't as bad as others but sometimes the writercirclejerk really shines through. The parts that stop being a story and looking at the viewer and telling them see: "this is right, this is wrong" are always the worst.
The things depicted are not the problem it's how they are handeld.
I really liked Danielle's story in the earlier seasons, this season her stepson: "old white guy always getting what the want" this to me doesn't feel like a line in this world. Same with Ed implying she gets the part because she is black? The whole rightwing conspiracy Alex Jones stuff.
The Russian guy getting over his problems with the gay guy isn't something that happened immediately, they were on Mars for months and had to work with each other in order to not die, and the fact they were friends before that shot probably helped too.
As for Ellen they established it wasn't something even most people accepted, and I assume will probably result in her impeachment.
>The mere presence of gays or blacks is not enough to make something unbearably leftist
Yes it is, that's exactly what it is
>The mere presence of gays or blacks is not enough to make something unbearably leftist
It's an alt reality show about the space race and we've spent roughly equal time on homos this season.
> remarkably not woke
You're swimming in it with US media so you probably don't even notice at this point.
No I notice plenty, but you have to be completely naive or dishonest to think that this show is as outspokenly leftist as the vast majority of modern television. Instead of being a hateful regressive leftist want session it is simply liberal in the sense of liberalism from the 90s and 00s.
The show isn't trying to be divisive against people on the right or spiteful towards white people or anything but genuinely inclusive which is honestly refreshing this deep into the culture war.
I'm gay.
So?
you conservacucks are so fricking pathetic
t. other gay
>but this show is remarkably not woke at all.
it's literally stated in the show that the only reason Danielle is an astronaut is because she's black. she's also commander of the Mars mission because of a NASA selection committee, not on the basis of her being the best candidate.
>not woke at all
Send this woman to the infimary

how could they possibly make the Ellen president arch any less interesting?
jobless rednecks bombing the capitol
that makes it way more interesting. I pray we get a JSC bombing for the finale with psycho danny's brother + friends
Next is Catholic Communist Poland in Space.
Poland is crippled in SENPAI.
Season 2 in intro mentions:
-Pope John Paul II is killed by assassin
-All Solidarity leadership gets arrested before they make it a movement capable of stirring up trouble(good thing in my opinion as a Pole-they were globohomosexual puppets)
-Thatcher gets whacked(in OTL she was strongly supportive of Polish Solidarity and provided political and financial support)
Funny enough we have both a series about Poland where Solidarity was crushed and communist rule never ended just transformed into China style regime(better than OTL IMHO)
And Communist Catholics existed as a faction of opposition in Poland(sadly they were defeated by Western stooges)

WHAT THE FRICK
so how did the nork survive this long?
Like how Matt Damon did
Soyuz normally carries food for 30 days for 3 people.
So that is 3 months for 1 person under normal conditions.
If they stripped it of return fuel, science equipment etc and made some modifications maybe they could increase it to 9 months.
Problem is water and air.
He might have a heated pressurized tent and some supplies that were dropped off earlier by Soviet probe or something.
> Soyuz normally carries food for 30 days for 3 people.
No, anon -- it doesn't. And it doesn't carry 90 man-days of water either.
For water maybe he digs out ice from beneath the sand and melts it?
Soyuz can carry enough supplies of food for one year for 1 person I guess.
He might be sheltering in cave covered by some pressurized material.
I like it. It shows that space is no longer is the sole playground of superpowers.
So it's a fantasy?
WAIT.
WAIT
WAIT..
DOES THAT MEAN THE FIRST MAN ON MARS..
WAS NORTH KOREAN?
someone go back and flip through the race episode. I seem to recall them mentioning the nork launch a few weeks before
Yes it launched 2 weeks before them and it episode 9 shows another probe on Mars as they are PRK-1 and PRK-2 on the globe display.
The one next to Happy Valley is PRK-1. Maybe the other one missed the landing site and was an ascent module.
Algeria will be the first to land on Venus before the Americans and the Soviets.
Why not show China as a rival in the space race without vilifying them?
They wouldn't be able to keep their hands of Kinoman.
china probably demanded not to be portrayed in this series
China didn't develop like it did in our timeline since the soviet union never fell
As I recall, didn’t its development happen in large part because Kissinger and Nixon were trying to get them into the global community and wedge them against the USSR? That was around the 1970s to my recollection, the Soviet Union not falling would make it more important to try and get China’s industrial capacity going.
Remember what happened in T square? It was because China communist almost collapse, the fall of the Soviet Union allow the reformers to pass the last changes otherwise China would be similar to the CCCP.
I miss so much the cold war
Does this show get better after the 1st season? I thought it was some type of feminism/woman can do everything men can do type show from Apple TV. I got baited by the first episode and all the Von Braun stuff.
Frick off leave.
So it doesn't get better?

OTL - best Korea develops nukes despite all odds and sanctions, becomes an international pariah.
ATL - best Korea lands first on mars despite less tech, funding, and prestige. Becomes a surprise partner in space tech and exploration and proves they really did abandon their missile program in favor of space, leading them towards a path of re-integration with the international community (not reunification). This show is all about showing that humanity as a whole can push forward into space despite their ideologies and forms of government.
>leading them towards a path of re-integration with the international community (not reunification). This show is all about showing that humanity as a whole can push forward into space despite their ideologies and forms of government.
Next episode the Korean cosmonaut goes full commando on Dannielle and her American crew, locks them up in the base, tortures Danny till he reveals Phoenix passcodes, grabs Popeye with a hostage, docks to Phoenix, vents everyone to space and returns to Earth reporting on successful mission accomplished to great comrade Kim
Cyberpunk Japan for Big Bad of Season 4.
Soyuz's legendary status as the longest-running and most battle-proven spacecraft in history grows larger!
In before Danny saves the day by reducing the NK crazy guy.
>North Korean cosmonaut: Oh! Zdravstvuyte commrade! Glory to the CCCP and DPRK!
>Based soviet cosmonaut: annyeonghasibnikka!! commrade!
>North Korean cosmonaut: Why the CCCP send monkeys with you?
Honestly I'd be interested in seeing an edit of this series with only the space scenes (the parts where all the budget went).
It was the same thing with 24 and other shows. Solid kino and you fast forward through the chick shit. No big deal
GLORY TO NORTH KOREA
danny redemption incoming
Seriously, who gets pregnant IN ANOTHER PLANET and decides not to abort?
On the plus side, we got a voluntary guinea pig to see if people can breed in SPACE.
can someone drop a timestamp for when the NK "probe" was mentioned in the earlier episodes
Newscast in episode 3 I think where they show the Russians launching Mars-94 and the newscaster sums up the people taking the launch window as the US the Russians Helios and the Norks
>North Korea won the Mars race
try again
As soon as Kinnoman dies I'm jumping ship
Me too brother, KINOMAN is the only good thing in this show
he's going to be too old for the next season anyway
putting aside the woke shit and the awful empty drama we got this season, what characters do we have left for season 4 ?
Ed is old as frick and could die next episode for any reason. We could see him around next season from the side.
Danielle could maybe hang around but she's old too and her character's arc is complete.
Margo is going to get Guantanamo'ed pretty soon.
Ellen is getting impeached and even if she avoids it, her arc looks done too.
Molly is nowhere to be seen(neither can she lmao)and she's old as frick too.
Karen will probably be the next Helios CEO and stick around. Looks like she's sucking enough dicks to be kept around.
Aleida is probably the best "young" lead we got for next season. She calmed down a bit from previous season.
So far we're stuck with a handful of bad characters:
Danny is a terrible actor, and an insufferable brat. If he's to be the next lead male actor, we're fricked.
Jenny has no charisma, nothing, except for her soon-to-be dead baby.
Danny's brother could take the spotlight but god if his story isn't a borefest. And what an ugly homosexual man.
This looks really bad tbh
I literally want all of the young people on the show to die, even Aleida. I'd also like to have seen the lesbi coming out story instead be a more nuanced and complicated process. It was dumb writing that the recording was what the entire thing is based on.
>delete it
>n-no we can't, they can sue us
Lmao, shit writing. Deleting it fixes everything.
>Ed is old as frick and could die next episode for any reason. We could see him around next season from the side.
Kill KINOMAN then the show will die
>Margo is going to get Guantanamo'ed pretty soon.
Please escape to the CCCP just to made it fun
>Ellen is getting impeached and even if she avoids it, her arc looks done too.
This is the most stupid plot device of the show, she must be remain silent not matter how gay she is
>Aleida is probably the best "young" lead we got for next season. She calmed down a bit from previous season.
Kill this prostitute inmediatly
They are gonna keep a lot of the old characters. Remember how Ellen talked about the whole stemcell research? It will cure Aleidas father dementia, give Molly her eyes back and extend the life of all the old fricks for 1 more season.
Danny's brother (Jimmy?) getting in with the bad crowd must result in something...I've hated that arc too.
I miss Gordo and Trace. Season 3 has been pretty shit. Seasons 1 and 2 were awesome.
I kept thinking that since there were so many close up shots of that damn statue that it was going to be destroyed somehow (bombing like ok city possibly since it's around 95?), but nope there it is sitting in the back of a truck instead because that would have totally been possible.
Also how the FRICK hasnt anybody noticed?? Shouldn't someone at NASA have mentioned it by now?
I regret recommending this show to peope because it's deteriorating in quality
>NK becomes a founding member of the International Mars City.
I just skip all the boring gay scenes to the mars kino.
Pretty weird you guys actually watch the whole episodes.
>North Korea solidifies itself in the annals of history as the first nation to visit another planet
based based based based BASED
>solidifies itself in the annals
ANAL
I wonder if there will be a South-North Korea alliance with the South having to pay tickets to North Korea for their space program.
Ed will become the first president of the International Mars city.
In front of proud Ramhongsaek Konghwagukgi, I pledge allegiance to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to devote myself to the perpetual glory of the free nation.
I wonder if Yugoslavia survived and has its own space program.
Either the war didn't happen or they didn't mention it. No Soviet war in Afghanistan either, Saddam takes Kuwait and Gary Hart does nothing about it.
What's going to be the 9/11 in space with space pirates and terrorists?
We already called it. The jobless rednecks conspiracy schizos are going to bomb jsc.
Margo will die a hero
Margo would escape to the Soviet Union or Cuba
Mexico is full commie here, she'll probably run there
It would be more like Oklahoma City. Happened around the same time, domestic terrorism
>Oklahoma City
Yep, IRL this save Bill Clinton presidency, I am sure this will be the same to lesbo president
I forget, is there a south korea in this setting? I had in my head that the alternative history had NK unite the whole peninsula but can't substantiate this.
That would be too big of an event for them not to mention it.
The Korean war still happened, Kinoman is a veteran of it
I can't wait for him to hear about this
>Kinoman is a veteran of it
This must be false, KINOMAN alone would won any war
the point of divergence is Sergei Korolev not dying in 1966
Europe probably has its space shuttle in this timeline. It's sad we don't get to see other nations space programs in more detail.
We have got this, and its real counterpart Prometheus proposed by Orbital was based on Hermes.
No Tracy 🙁
Best character aside from Kinoman
Pic related is surprisingly awesome. Watched it on Netflix because 4AM gave me the hots for Kinoman
Why does pedo Karen get rewarded so often by the writers? She groomed a kid and fricked up his life. She even admits to heis brother she was just using him with a smile. Meanwhile Danny gets made to be a complete frick up and the show treats it like it's all on him
