Reader who rambles about history the moment Trapper asks about the moon landing. You sitting on his chest as you enthusiastically talking about the space race and while yes he finds it fascinating, but there are words you're using that he knows nothing of. So he just staring at you with the lovesick eyes watching the way your body bounces as you enthusiastically describing the entire world holding their breath sitting around their TVs, he knew about those thanks to The Onryo and Hillbilly though he still remembered freaking out about it then. You just going on standing up on the bed quoting the iconic moon landing quote, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

"do humans live on the moon in your time?" Trapper asks with a big grin, it sounds so cool and to have humans finally able to travel to and from the heavens. Surely they did more then that. Your face dropping as you admit that in your time they had only done that once, but they are hard at work trying to get to Mars... Or at least corporations are. NASA's budget has been cut a lot, but hey you can explain the lesbian space crime incident and that some billionaire launched one of his cars into space just because he could. So that's something...

“Mrs. Bradshaw, how does it feel knowing your husband may very well be the first American in space?”

I was inspired to go with an Astronaut Wives Club theme after seeing @ryebecca’s gorgeous Astronaut Jake mood board!

Goodbye our dear autoresponder, goodbye Frank, we will miss you

Bye.

Although I'm the one who turned the power off, the rest of the robots in this room are laughing and crying, so I thought I'd introduce myself one last time.

My name's Frank. Frank N. (From) Google.

One thing that doesn’t make sense to me in For All Mankind season 4 is the apparent lack of any professional consequences for Ed following the whole Danny situation. He was the commander of the Helios mission, so doesn’t responsibility ultimately fall on him?

He selected Danny for the Mars mission based on nepotism, because he wanted to take care of his dead friends’ son, and when he had had a direct warning from Dani that Danny (jeez the decision to give two of the main characters these names) was off the wagon and unwell. An irresponsible decision right up front.

He knew, shortly before the drill catastrophe, that Danny was misusing amphetamines at least - he snarls at him that he’s seen a pilot on “go-pills” before - and his way of dealing with this was to give him a humiliating dressing-down in front of other people and then trust Danny to sort it out himself.

He didn’t take any of a number of very obvious steps like (1) relieving Danny of duties and confining him to quarters while he detoxed (2) searching those quarters and confiscating any pills he had stashed there (3) putting A FUCKING LOCK ON THE MEDICINE CABINET.

Why, then, are the deaths that Danny caused by choosing to ignore all the literal warning signs right in front of him (IT’S AS IF THERE’S A PARALLEL HERE) not also laid at Ed’s door? Why isn’t he shipped home in disgrace to face charges for his negligence? Even if space law doesn’t allow for that, why on Earth or any other planet would anyone ever trust Ed Baldwin to manage anything again?

Series 6 is like. The greatest dw episode you have ever seen in your life followed by 2 episodes of some shit you picked up off your shoe. It is my most rewatched series and my greatest teenage hyperfixation. It is a slog to get through. Thee multitude containing series of all time.

a good man goes to war: genius plot resolution, emotional poignancy; a sense of urgency and crisis; splendidly detailed ensemble cast of characters past and present, grand epic finale without invoking the d*leks and c*bermen for once . new, frightening side of the doctor we haven't seen before from the perspective of his enemies. oh and one (1) homophobic-ish joke i guess..

let's kill hitler: YOOOO psst kid you want some misogyny in your misogyny? you want trivialisation of historical evil ? you want a flanderised OOC River whose entire purpose has suddenly become to be a 'sexy femme fatale'? you want some more casual misogyny? oh look, a contrivance. oh look, straight from retcontopia, a Black character waltzes into the ponds' lives, a person that we're supposed to believe has been their 'childhood best friend' despite never having even mentioned her in the past, and you introduce her as a petty criminal with no parents (great work avoiding racialisation guys) just to kill her off in the first 15 minutes as an excuse to replace her with a 'matuuuure' alex

yeah the episode's fun but it's such a fucking mess. kills me. you're right so far it's been a wild mixed bag. oddly enough i seem to again have fallen for the trap of finding certain episodes compelling that most people didn't (the rebel flesh/the almost people + curse of the black spot; that one only because i have a soft spot for pirates of any kind especially space pirates) and feeling meh at most about episodes that most people did (the impossible astronaut/day of the moon. the silence are an interesting concept villain, but there's only so many times you can play with killing off the protagonists before it loses any kind of impact on the audience. you just know they'll all be back so what are the stakes)

and of course there *is* the utterly flawless the doctor’s wife, for which we have mr. gaiman to thank

we’ll see how it goes from here on out!
