As sad as that is to see that Ellen's character will be reduced in the next season I can easily imagine why they're minimizing her (and i'm sure others' role). It's hard to continue to up-age everyone and as said she's now an ex-president. Her role/power/influence in NASA and politics writ large...

random aside- but i have to wonder if in this TL (and perhaps this season) we'll see Korea united as an alternate to the fact that the Soviet Union still exists and that wall never fell. Given the North Korean's getting to Mars I have to wonder if wider involvement with the space faring...

yeah- it's something that's been studied a bit IRL but not enough- in that we've had plenty of mice, etc on the ISS that have had babies- but that's microgravity. What we need (and will hopefully get in the not too distant future) is studies of a similar nature in places with small amounts of...

We are (in the show) approaching a point where things have diverged so much that they're going to be fully making up future events, politicians, pop culture, etc. It really won't be long before the 'period piece' ends and we're fully into (hard) scifi.

I have to agree there- I do wish we got more from the Soviet perspective. It is something i'm hoping we'll see in the next season. The 3 way race while somewhat silly- history is littered with ridiculous competitions such that this is still rather believable. I likewise like some of the drama...

New trailer just dropped I can't wait. Part of me wishes I hadn't watched it- clearly some spoilers of sorts, but i'm also very pumped. I can't wait to see this season and where the show is ultimately headed. I kind of think ultimately what we'll see (in future seasons) is some sort of fusion...

At this point I think enough in the world has changed compared to OTL that we're probably entering the realm of made-up (or at least different) Presidents and world leaders writ large. There's a decent chance Ellen is President or perhaps a Senator. We're also probably not too far away from...

I don't think there's any particular delay. from what I can tell it's the normal filming/editing cycle. it's not even April yet. I'm honestly expecting S3 to air sometime in the fall or so - so perhaps we'll get some teasers/trailers/dates this summer...

yeah- this show is definitely going to veer into less realistic stuff - but it's still interesting, as real as you're gonna get in a scifi/alt history show and entertaining as hell. The only thing as close to this in terms of 'realism' is The Expanse which is awesome in it's own way but has it's...

Do what I and many people do- just get a subscription for a month- binge watch the show and then cancel until the next season. The $10 or whatever it is is worth it for that much content.

Honestly that was one of the biggest surprises of the most recent season- that AIDS didn't come up. I was fully expecting Larry to get it given the beginning of the season when he's going out with lots of boyfriends to party... Ellen had her whole come out/not come out plot line as well... I...

yeah, in a way it's nice that they subverted that expectation and didn't go for that kind of tragic (and almost predictable) route and instead went a different way for the story. I'm very curious to see the arc of Ellen (and Larry)'s stories. I don't remember them ever bringing it up in the...

I'm super curious to see how things continue to play out. My biggest surprise to me for the entire Season 2 is that I expected AIDS (and possibly gay rights) to become a bigger deal - especially with Larry and of course the specter of Ellen coming out/being outed. I was fully expecting a plot...

I don't think there's any coincidence there at all... That's what i'd call pretty darn smart and arguably common sense marketing. I'll be very curious to see if this season they start looking towards Mars- tho i'm going to guess that perhaps there will be some ramp up towards Mars at the end...

Yeah. I haven't seen any ads or anything for AppleTV show/movie merch. There might be some unofficial stuff on Amazon or Etsy but likely it'll all just be more generic NASA branded merch. Anyways time to binge re-watch season 1 before season 2 comes out.
