For All Mankind really said that the heiress, aeronautical engineer, pilot, and astronaut was gonna be a lesbian named Ellen Waverly. And that she was gonna be played by the beautiful Jodi Balfour.

Haha, right, the Mrs. Bennet part of me that’s still like HOW many pounds a year? was all swooning at that whole buildup. That FBI agent should write her bio. “First of all, your mom is from New York old money. Then your dad makes a ton of more money. A pilot as a teen, MIT, aeronautical engineer, astronaut. You have the pedigree, the money, the brains, the looks. So why do you, literal perfect woman, want to be with…a gay?” And she’s ours. :>

I actually wish we’d see some of her home life, actually. Are her parents supportive? Proud? What about pressure to marry? Did she work harder on a career so she’d have an excuse and an alternative to romance? But I feel like the more of THAT we find out, it’s because it’s going to hurt even more than what we’re already seeing.
