For All Mankind

 

I wanted to like this, but I felt I had seen this  all before

So, the USSR threw a combination of luck, and genius manages to get the first man on the Moon

Would DS9 have been better if Molly had self harmed, while the Dominion attacked? 

1: This should have been Nixon's story. I can see him actually feeling vindicated if the USSR gets to the moon first. Him and the silent majority have been vindicated. Sadly he wasn't in this as much

The Sea Dragon taking off was awesome

The story of the Mercury women would have been better if we had seen them do training first. Then forgotten and passed over  That means a different POD 

The Lesbian Astronaut and her gay husband is an interesting story. You have a couple who have made a commitment-but it is in a sense platonic. At least between the two- I would have liked to have seen more of there life

The Major Kira, stand in pilot- gets to cure her eye disease to easily

Doreen Campbell being an Irish Astronaut means the RoI has fixed wing jets

I think it would have been better if the Adopted Vietnamese orphan had been kicked out of the house by her adoptive father- and joined the Navy as a rating- and worked her way into Anapolis 

The Russian attack on Jamestown was good, but I had seen the vaccum scene before in BSG- did anyone else think of the Cylons trying to get to axuilary fire control

Hey is that an ace pilot, sex case, drunk called Starbuck

Regan doing zoom calls is interesting

Why did the Russians not have white Ak47s

I now know that Moonraker, destroys the USMC pilots

I will give the third series a chance
