A nice start.
Great to hear familiar names and to see this very familiar land.
It seems to be a slow start, but one I appreciate it, I myself need to know the characters, care about them, before I acctually care about the plot.
I do think they choose to do too many places and characters and we didn't even see them all yet. But I am interested. Hope they can all be linked together in a satisfying way.
But I do miss the long haired elves.
Also, OST is great, as I expected from this composer.
A spectacular season premiere. This is my favorite show for a reason. I just love the characters and the story that spans now three decades already. This season premiere could have not been more thrilling and I can‘t wait to see what the rest of the season holds in store.
A really great start for a new season. I can't wait to see where this show goes. I hope it has the amount of viewers it needs to keep afloat. This show deserves more of a buzz than it gets.
Wow, can't believe that was a season premiere, the most batting it out of the gate in quite some years. Alongside establishing the time jump and various characters' new positions masterfully, it has the grand stake, set-piece, and suspense of a finale/penultimate episode. Beautiful final scene, and can't wait for the rest of this season.
Also, LOVE the alt-casting of Love in the Skies
Like the second season before it, the third season opener time jumps another decade. A jam packed montage reveals some of the surprising changes in this alternate timeline:
And within For All Mankind's lead characters, there have been some major developments:
This season opener lays out its cards, a very ambitious one. The rest of the episodes is a bit pedestrian as it rehashes Sandra Bullock's Gravity meets Titanic. But what a deck of cards!
The 3rd season is shaping up to be an amazing one.
I am really digging the private company (Helios) vs. USA (NASA) vs. USSR (Roscosmos). The previous season opener established that USA and USSR split the Moon into 2 political zones. Dev (CEO of Helios) wants to usurp two superpower's influence over Mars, democratizing it for all mankind (no pun intended). It's refreshing to see a space exploration company not molded after Elon Musk for once, but he's probably too good to be true. Regardless, I am rooting for him already.
Helios would no doubt accelerate two superpower's Mars programs, at the expense of taking shortcuts and increasing espionage. The later is being setup as Margo's downfall.
Karen certainly turned the table around by selling Polaris to Helios, recruit Ed, and become a major influence at Helios. She will likely poach many more NASA employees unhappy with Margo's leadership.
The wildcards are the next generations -- Aledia, Danny, and Kelly. Aledia will likely succeed Margo. Danny's resentment toward Karen and Ed will push him to become one of the first on Mars. And would Kelly betray her parents and join Danny and Danielle on NASA's mission to Mars?
Way to go, Ed! :alien:

When a show consistently makes you root for it's characters, smile for the prospect of what is to come and have a sense of hope and "glee" in your eyes and heart you know you're watching something great.
This won't win an Emmy but let us have our guilty pleasure. All we want is a semi intelligent story and some action and boy did it deliver.
completely fulfilled my expectations. would love to watch the big man breaking bones like toothpicks again in S2.
Can the people who rated the Episode more than a month before airing please explain how they already watched it?
Seriously...
I think they found this episode on the cutting room floor.
This episode really did nothing for me. It was very predictable, timeframes were crazy messed up from what could understand. At the beginning of the episode they talk about 3yrs since but on the grave stone it has 2021. Are we ahead of the show now, just very confusing and frankly lame.
Very frustrating, frustratingly frustrating.
Dexter, being a Blood spatter and forensics dude would have known about pins and they have their own serial number, hell, even I know that, and I know and Dex would have known that and seen the scar as an indicator that Matt had surgery while doing his slicing and dicing. And every man and dog knows these are made of titanium and don't melt.
I don't know... I'm pretty disappointed at the moment and not sure about the whole lot now.
Then the second Cameo... what the hell was that all for?
Yep, disappointed.
The 2nd half of this episode felt rushed. They should have added 1 more episode or maybe another 30 minutes to this one to finish some things off.
This feeling I have watching this episode brings back all the tension and shouting in my head that the original series got me in at this time of the season!
The crescendo of episode 9 of the original always had me rewatching a few times to try figure out, 'okay Dex, how you gonna get out of This?!' Needless to say this episode is no different because, 'reasons'. (not gonna spoil it for anyone).
I'll say it again, there better be more seasons coming up in this new series and it can't just end like Dexter's Righteous And Violent Ends of his targets.
There will be Dark Passengers bubbling up and out of few million viewers at least if there isn't a season two announced pretty soon...
This rebirth of Dexter is solidly better than the original series from the way it's shot to the story to even details as silly as the credits. Last week I thought this series may have peaked, now this episode dropped and I feel like it was better than the last one, so I'm solidly on board at this point and can't wait to see how this season ends next week.
Interesting start! Let's see where it goes!
