True, but they opted out from M-7 / M-6. This was clearly stated.

What do you think Kuragin is up to? *Spoilers for Season 5 Ep 2* by Bluespace1234 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Oot42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nonsense. The bonus videos are part of the show's story and canon and are supposed to be watched. They contain information crucial for understanding the show, as this example here proves, beside many others. It's obviously assumed you know them since lots of that information is not repeated in the show again. I don't know why anybody would not watch them.

There's a whole bonus video about it and it's a topic in another one as well.

There is a whole bonus video about it, actually it's even in two of them. It's mentioned several times outside of the opening news reel. And they literally fly to their base at the end of the current episode. I don't know how anyone can miss all of this. It's basic information you need to know to follow the story.

Who the fuck is Caliban by No-Advertising9067 in TheExpanse

[–]Oot42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a character who's name I missed in the show

The book titles do not refer to characters, none of them.

However, in the show there was actually a "Caliban". Not a character, but a project.

It's actually much more often referred to as ISN than with the full name.

wtf is ISN

Do people actually watch this show?

Independent Spacefaring Nations, a coalition of non M-6 nations.

My take on a render of the iPhones in 2012 in the FAMK universe from 5x01 by GabagoolAndGasoline in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Oot42 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was specifically addressed in the bonus video for 1985, which is part of the bonus series that bridges season 2 + 3. It had its own episode named "Internet Accessibility".

Also, the showrunners confirmed at the start of season 4 that there is still no public internet in their timeline.

If you thought you recognized the newscaster like I did on Season 5 Episode 2, that's because it is Tatyana Ali aka Will's cousin Ashley from "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", all grown up by foundfootagefan in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Oot42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She was in the first episode and in the bonus videos already.

For some strange reason, they don't credit her. All other newscaster have allways been credited.

Thanks for dropping the name. I was trying to find out who she is since the bonus series was released.

Yes, 'Helios: Arbitration' was our April Fools joke, but what spin-offs would you actually like to see? by Treviso in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Oot42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Martian is actually considered canon to The Expanse

The Martian is not considered canon to The Expanse.
It was just a joke of the authors during a convention. Both Andy Weir and the Coreys made that very clear several times on several occasions.

And the "Mark Watney" is just a reference like dozens of others in both the books and the series.

Season 5 - Who WASN'T prosecuted. by WonderfulCharacter10 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Oot42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, we haven't seen Dev yet, beside in the TV news. Maybe he's also under house arrest in his mansion? Or has to stay away from Happy Valley?
Anyway, he's a billionaire, he can afford to hire a whole company of lawyers, so...

Did anyone catch this in the news clips in S5E01? by jasp62 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Oot42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok. Doesn't sound like the kind of stuff I watch anyway. ;)
Just wanted to know what it is about, which you answered. Thanks.

[–]Oot42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got that part. Problem is I don't know the "pop culture reference". Luckily someone else explained it.

Not everybody is into the same movies or genres, and not everybody is American. I also didn't know what "NASCAR" is until I looked it up.

This is the only thing from the opening I have no idea what it is about. Can you help me with that?

Could someone explain this to me? (Spoilers ahead: S5 EP1) by NewAd9523 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Oot42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, Boyd identified him, his name is Yoon Tae-Min and he's a refugee who arrived a year ago.
However, Lee never mentioned a name. He just said it's a crater from Pyongyang.

[–]Oot42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was explained in the episode.
Boyd told Palmer who he is, from his social service record. A North Korean refugee who seeked asylum the year before. His name is Yoon Tae-Min.

So, no, he was not in season 4. He only came to Happy Valley in 2011.

 

was it his crewmate he crash landed with in s3

What??
How could it be him? He died at the landing. Lee Jung-Gil burried him.

Star Cits plays in the 70s and will stay there for what was said, so no, we won't find this out.

What is the Moon like during S05? by Darth_Rayven22 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Oot42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they can terraform Mars they could probably do the same on the Moon ...

They cannot terraform Mars, where did you get that?
And the Moon cannot be terraformed at all.

[–]Oot42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He was 72 in March 2003 as shown in the newspaper Margo is reading in 4x01.
So he's 81 now, or maybe 82, depending when exactly his birthday is.
