I posted this on the "Away" thread too, but it's about both shows-I will spoilerize here as I did there-

Spoiler

I lol'ed when i saw that the "Russian astronaut" on both shows is played by the same dude! Like Costa Ronin plays the Soviet spy on The Americans and Homeland-are there that few Russian Actors? ..and I was looking the "Russian Astronaut" actor on IMDB and he was on Homeland too! LOLOLOL!

Queen Camilla!

The 1978 Academy Awards news clip was particularly funny.

Oh! I missed that-what happened?

I was bummed that the USA didn't beat the USSR at the Olympics (Hockey). It happened on my birthday (today) and was always a cool thing I liked to talk about happening on my birthday!

I thought Molly was showing symptoms...a little wobbly when she was walking if I recall.

And she is avoiding the light-wearing sunglasses all the time-the light seemed to bother her tremendously upon returning to Earth-I think she's going to go blind ...just a thought, not a spoiler..

 

[Regina]

That's not exactly uncommon with the pilot crowd.

I know, but they are showing her photophobia an awful lot-I think it's leading to something-mark my words!

 

[Regina]

bored with season 2, I'm done. and I really liked season 1

I enjoy the character development, but geez, get back to space already!

 

[Regina]

Yeah, Ed egged on Gordo to "play" and "man up" and he "killed" Ed - then Ed's plane caught on fire when they were showing off for each other and Ed had to eject.

That's on Ed.

Spoilers for "The Weight" (Episode 6)
Ahem...Molly Cobb is having eye issues...CALLED IT! But of course, she's covering for it...
Tracy really is a functioning alcoholic!
I didn't think that Ed was lost at sea...good Lord!
I am a huge Peanuts fan so I love the Linus patch!
Michael Dorman is a great actor! I looked him up on IMDB and he is from New Zealand...he does a great accent too!
Ellen....GET SOME! YES!

 

[Regina]

THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING! THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!
HOLY COW!
Those last few minutes! I totally agree with what others have said-had me on the edge of my seat!
..and there was a conversation just before the attack about Jamestown being under nuclear power again-so will there be some sort of "nuclear option" to self-destruct? Just a thought...Good Lord!
So Gordo and Tracy are - um - doing the deed behind several closed doors-do they even hear what is going on? Are the others going to come and hide and find them? OOO! I can't wait for next week!
I did like how they explained why Ed didn't have his wedding ring on (that he had to surrender it before the launch). But that did facilitate his "two wrongs make a right" attempt. But he couldn't "complete the mission"
So did Pam leave to give Ellen a chance at being a congresswoman? Dang, I had high hopes for those crazy kids.
Has Molly really accepted her inevitable blindness? Glad she didn't waste money on a fake "cure" in Mexico. She and her husband are so sweet together. Polar opposites yet they make it work.
Great episode. Keep 'em coming!

I bet it's Kelly on Mars.

 

[Regina]

That would be ambitious. Naval Academy to USN to NASA and Mars in less than 12 years?

Armstrong was 39 when he landed on the moon.

She's pretty ambitious! And this show has a way of suspending disbelief!

 

[Regina]

PAT ROBERTSON?

 

[Regina]

Man, Ed is such a jealous man-baby! I wonder if he will still bring Kelly along...(my theory was that Kelly was the first person on Mars-pure speculation, so I am not spoilerizing)....but geez---yeah, the "Hi, Bob" club has been disbanded for life, I think... how sad!
And what is to become of Molly Cobb?

 

[Regina]

Guess nuclear fusion causes the time line to speed up by 25 years.

I did like how nuclear fusion slowed global warming in this alternate timeline. One can dream..

OT, but Wrenn Schmidt is in the new(ish) movie NOPE and does a great job! I almost screamed, "MARGO!" when I saw her on the screen. Nice to see her getting more work. She is a terrific actress!
