Featured review
from the heart
For All Mankind Season 2 Episode 8, "And Here's To You," telegraphs its absolute worst moment the minute you see the episode title, but that somehow doesn't manage to lessen the truly disturbing scene in which Karen Baldwin makes a deliberate choice to sleep with Danny, who is not only half her age but was once a child she saw in diapers. Thankfully, the show also has Karen realize what a huge mistake she made fairly immediately - as soon as Danny starts talking about being in love and finding a place together, but it doesn't make it all any less horrifying. Karen has always been a difficult character to really know or like, but this is...whew. It's not clear what's going on with her story at the moment, but I feel confident in saying that she deserves better. Elsewhere, Gordo finally makes it back to space, ten years after his Jamestown mission and the breakdown that grounded him for a decade and derailed Dani's career. It's a surprisingly moving moment, and I say that as someone who's hasn't really enjoyed Gordo much this season. Yet, it's all great, from the (perfect) use of AC/DC's "Back and Black" as Gordo reenters Jamestown to the way he can't seem to stop comparing the new, more expansive base to the one he remembered. Even his reunion with Tracy is surprisingly awesome. Their relationship has generally been the definition of messy over the course of this series, but their conversation over a hidden joint in what is essentially a space station closet is a reminder of the ways they're good together. Granted, I don't know if that's the same thing as hoping they get back together - but suddenly I'm not as averse to it as I once was. The end of the hour finally kicks off the international incident that For All Mankind has basically been promising all season, as the Americans gun down two Russian cosmonauts who approach the mining camp. Maybe this a pollyannaish viewpoint, but watching two countries fight over who gets to strip mine resources from the lunar surface isn't how I like to think of mankind journeying to the stars, even if it's probably a likely eventuality, if that makes sense?
