Haven't watched this week's episode yet as am blasting through Season 4 of The Expanse, but pondering more Enterprise II ...
Speaking of, should I create it's own thread?
Wait for the last episode first in case Trek is mentioned?

Perhaps there would be a Romulan crewman (Science Officer, and put Commander Decker at Navigation?), responsible for some of the tech that is incorporated into the Enterprise II? If Hammill is Marcus, then perhaps Hamlin could be the Romulan?
Alternately cut Scotty from the cast and make Decker the Science Officer and First Officer, Adams as CMO, the Romulan as Chief Engineer with a second female alien at Navigation - with Uhura, Sulu and Kirk returning.
Also how scheduling might run ...
10th September : Episode 1
17th September : Episode 2
24th September : Episode 3

Put the cosmonaut in his suit, drive him to the crater, dump him, and make a small hole in his suit.
Do we know that "Ivan" is definitely dead or is there still room for Crazy Ed to turn the oxygen back on and save him, and thus averting WW3?
I dought it would cause WWIII. Ed hadn't been in contact with Earth, so the US could claim that he acted independently. That's assuming Ed doesn't cover it up, as fortyseven suggested. Even if the US doesn't deny its involvement, the death of one man seems like too small of an event to go to nuclear war over.

[me, watching Apollo 24's progress on the orbital map] Oh, don't tell me...don't you idiots have a master abort switch? RIP Harrison--plunging into the exhaust of a J-2 engine is not fun. Also, I highly doubt that a cable designed to support one astronaut is going to take the weight of a 20-tonne CSM. And surely there should have been an automatic abort from something so off-nominal as hauling a second CSM on a rope?
Prior to second burn, the systems are again readied for an engine start. Approximately 4 minutes before restart, the chilldown systems are reactivated to condition the lines by removing gases collected in the propellant supply system. The O2/H2 burner is started approximately 9 minutes prior to second burn to pressurize the propellant tanks ullage space and to provide thrust to settle the propellents.
LH2 continuous venting is terminated immediately after the O2/H2 burner start. Approximately one minute before engine start, the APS ullage engines are fired and the O2/H2 burner is shut down. The recirculation system is deactivated and engine restart is initiated. With this, the APS ullage engines are shut off, and the APS yaw and pitch control modes are deenergised. The roll control mode remains active throughout the second burn.
I was going to suggest Harry Hamlin, but Hamill would work!

I am *hoping* this is where they are going.
They definitely leave things hanging there without for sure showing that "Ivan" is dead, but something tells me he probably is. That said, as others have pointed out, Ed could potentially cover things up, or even if he doesn't I agree with most here that this would be a big incident but not WWIII worthy.
More manly without the whiny voice.
It could work. Shatner was born in 31, Muldaur in 38, so about the right age as well.
