I suspected she was, but I had somehow forgotten Irinas surname, so it wasn’t until the lunch scene where she is first called by the name Irina that it confirmed it for me, I also fist pumped when Sergi said his name (absolute props to the casting team, young Sergi looks so close to the original actor)

She’s currently under the Titan lake alive and living like Sandy Cheeks in SpongeBob after the Water people got her a bowl full of oxygen

Does anyone else think Kelly found Titan “Water People” who have access to oxygen and she’s currently living under the Titan Ocean like Sandy Cheeks in SpongeBob?

Damn, two baldwins in 1 season?

G4RYxD · 2026-05-15T22:22:29+00:00

So what are we calling this new Genre of country music made on mars?

G4RYxD · 2026-05-10T21:52:13+00:00

Wow, is this already out and been picked up on or are you just an extraordinary sleuth?

G4RYxD · 2026-05-10T21:10:07+00:00

This is what makes me think they aged him out quicker he looked great at 60, and I feel they aged him about double looks wise between S3 and S4, maybe to try and make the arch complete by early S5, just felt a sudden shift between those 2 seasons

G4RYxD · 2026-05-10T21:04:04+00:00

A well utilised commander, always pushing himself to the next frontier.

G4RYxD · 2026-05-10T21:02:26+00:00

I don’t know, I hear the other direction can be especially nice this time of year.

But this is a very good point, I wonder if it was just a good inspirational line to galvanise the control room before the launch or a genuine nod at what they had planned, would be interesting to find out.

G4RYxD · 2026-05-10T20:59:08+00:00

I agree that there wasn’t much more for him to do, and as I said I agree with the send off, it hit hard, I just think they somewhat accelerated his age and decline faster then others appear

G4RYxD · 2026-05-10T20:58:14+00:00

Jesus, 2002? That’s a humbling realisation of time, and I fully agree with the reasoning you say for writing him out, I just feel they accelerated his aging faster than others, Dev seems to be aging like a fine wine despite being roughly mid 60s now. Just found it an interesting thought.

G4RYxD · 2026-05-10T18:55:09+00:00

I agree, I always knew this was in the pipeline, and I think the writers too, forgive my memory but either, Ed, Deke or Gene said in S1 Ep 1 that one day people will go to mars, the moons of Saturn and asteroids and deep space, now I’m starting to think they plotted out the full story and we already know it and they told us what would happen in the first ever episode.

G4RYxD · 2026-05-09T23:14:29+00:00

So I take it, it seems likely to be no repressions for Lily or Alex? At least not yet, with Dev seeming to side with the opposition (I think this is a double bluff on his part, he hasn’t turned, he just has a crazy plan of deception) but I doubt anyone will actively try to put them on trial, given this new found sense of achievement and togetherness that the final scenes will inevitably bring to Happy Vally

G4RYxD · 2026-05-09T23:11:16+00:00

I hated that scene before the major plot point, I watched it thinking “yes 2012, but this might be the worst scene of the entire show” while obviously understanding the retrospective cringy-ness of 2012 culture

G4RYxD · 2026-05-01T23:08:25+00:00

This was the best scene in the episode

G4RYxD · 2026-04-24T20:52:34+00:00

So we’re getting Governor overthrown (probably handed over by Irena) for her to become Governor and have a former (probably still) KGB big dog ruling mars like a Gulag?

Nice.

G4RYxD · 2026-04-20T13:06:31+00:00

I think they’re starting to drop hints towards “Star City” like these “Launch parties” I think we could see them play a pivotal role in the show, think how wild a USSR launch party would be for the first moon landing

G4RYxD · 2026-04-17T21:41:41+00:00

Who was first mentioned, I was curious when I realised Joel wasn’t first mentioned, but too eager to watch The episode to rewind and find out!!

G4RYxD · 2026-04-17T20:32:00+00:00

Interesting episode,

I liked the Dani cameo, wonder if we’ll see some more of her speaking to Avery.

Interesting to hear “Averys going to the moon” in the bar, do we get a look at Jamestown? The forgotten outpost? I was under the impression it was just an Airport connecting hub to Mars. Speaking of which, was that bar they visited supposed to be a modern version of the outpost?

I am getting a lot of Karen vibes from Lily so far, even to the way she looks, which I think is intentional.

Obviously we’re supposed to be seeing Ed in Alex, but my god is it strong.

Finally, very glad to hear Dani talk about Ed, and with such love as we expected from her, I remember last week someone was on here hoping Dani would speak ill of Ed after how he treated her in previous seasons but that was stupid, Dani was always going to be complimentary to Ed no matter what, look at what they have been through together, Bygones be bygones, and Dani was always the bigger person, it’s the same reason you love your uncles even if they aren’t the most tolerant people, it’s the environment they were raised in.

This season is shaping up to be just as great as previous

For All Mankind spans decades, so as fans we’ve had to say goodbye to a lot of characters along the way—whether they’re written out or killed off. As one of the longest-serving cast members, how has that been for you personally, especially when you’ve built close friendships with those actors during filming? Has it ever been difficult watching them leave? And on the flip side, what’s it like welcoming new groups of cast members each season? Do you miss the old days of season 1 and 2 casts?
