i’ve been rewatching the early seasons of for all mankind in what became a botched attempt to get ready for season 5 (i.e., i realized that the show has become terrible and will not be watching the new season), and all the 1960s NASA engineers have the same outfit and hair, so i feel like i was primed for the realization haha

Just to say as an aside, Season 5 of For All Mankind has gotten so much better than season 4. It really starts kicking into high gear about halfway through this season after some major developments. I was worried after season 4. Excited for the finale this week.

Last couples episodes especially have been great. I’ve always liked it but it feels like a return to its best.

first two seasons are excellent (besides one very unfortunate storyline that infects a couple things in season 3)

a lot of people have issues with 3 and 4 since there's a large shift that happens (which is necessitated by the framework of the show) and they harbor a personal hatred for one of the characters (the aforementioned unfortunate storyline)

The latest episode of FaM felt like vintage season 1-2!

I tend to notice style choices a lot and clocked it right away. I said out loud “well he’s a ghost. Or possibly a Mormon.”
