Welcome to the retrospective recaps ofFor All Mankindseason two.
We begin season two in May 1983, some nine years after the conclusion of season one.
As youd expect with a nine-year time jump, everyone is older, and some are wiser.
This brings us to one of the big themes of season two: middle age.
What does ambition look like for people and institutions that have already accomplished the seemingly impossible several times over?
What do those past accomplishments mean a decade after the fact?
Do you remember how tightly wound both Ed and Karen were last season?
For the Baldwins, this is far out.
Hes bored, hes adrift, and hes grown averylamentable mustache.
They could have stopped there, but no: Gordos got a beer belly to go with the stache.
Fine, we get it, hes a sad sack!
Their a cappella performance of Three Little Birds is cut short; a bummer!
But with good reason.
Molly chooses to take shelter in a cave while Wubbo races back to Jamestown on a rover.
She drags Wubbo to safety but knows their radiation exposure is dangerously high.
Blink and youll miss some references to Jamestown Colonys nuclear reactor.
It is emphatically not that.
