Oh, hah, I didn’t even think of that. You’re the superior shipper, anon. I’d love to ship them but there just seemed too much friction brewing there at the best of times. All kinds of vague resentments and jealousies under the surface. But I mean, that makes for good conflict to work through for a ship, if you’re so inclined.
I know we focus a bit on Ellen on For All Mankind, but there’s a scene in latest episode that cracked me up so much. When Ed, Gordo, and Danielle are reacting Bob Newhart lol
Lmao, yes! I actually really loved that, and was trying to figure out a way to gif in parallel to watching it on screen. For a while, everything was going all right on Jamestown and it was just so charming and absurd and lovely to see. These incredibly educated, smart, brave humans sitting up there on the moon, acting out and laughing at a sitcom ep. And the fact that even Ed and Dani were into it, who tended to be more serious at times, all of them giddy and acting like children. I was so mad at NASA for not sending up more tapes! If they had any idea what they were going through…
I’ve been waiting for Jodi to play queer since bomb girls. She is not disappointing. ? thanks for the gifs!!
Oh, you’re welcome and same! To be clear, it wasn’t an “instead of Kate or Betty” situation, but just wanting all the ladies to be f/f. 😛 So far, yeah, the For All Mankind story’s been impressively written and impressively acted.
Hey, I love your tumblr! Thanks for all the awesome gifs. Just wondering what happened on the latest ep of For All Mankind.
Hey, thanks!
Okay, so, remember how I was predicting that maybe Ellen and Larry would get married to take the heat off? I had ALMOST added, as a guess that I then decided was too soapy, that Pam and Ellen would split up and maybe reunite years later, but it seemed too dramatic, why wouldn’t they just continue to treat it as the artificial but necessary arrangement it was? But the next ep picks up in the same general time, no large timeskip, Larry and now Ellen are continuing to face pressure, and when the boss suggests they take that next step, while they’re considering it, to Pam, that would be it. It’s too big and meaningful for her to ignore, so if they went for it, she and Ellen would be over. And then one of the final scenes is Ellen and Larry getting married.
hey just wondering if you think ellen and pam are going to work things out on for all mankind? i hope they do because we deserve a scene with them and wayne cobb!
I really don’t know! The show can be so optimistic and inspiring at times and then so filled with sudden, shocking violence. My hope would be that since we’ve seen them suffering, the show will save them from even more, but of course there’s no real probability either way. Another plus in the optimistic column is that they showed them together before and after one of the longest timeskips, indicating they’re an actual relationship instead of something convenient.
But they’re still in the very center of a time that was horrible for them. Ellen was going to lead a mission soon, she’s so in the public eye, her reputation matters. She and Larry may end up marrying, for both their sakes. But we’re only a few timeskips away from when it’s going to be an especially scary time for Larry. I don’t know what the show will do.
I thought it was weird we didn’t get any of Molly or Wayne Cobb in the last ep! Molly was instrumental to finding the water that got them the lab and then disappeared? I hope they do pop up again and lol, yes, he’d be one of the people who’d immediately get what was going on.
Where can I watch For all mankind without Apple TV?
I only know the site I have directly in my ask message, heh: https://ololo.to/s/for+all+mankind
Same anon:
Also you for all mankind tags aren’t appearing
Ah, damn, thanks for telling me. Well, that happens sometimes, either because one of the gifs flagged something (but not the actual nsfw filter because then it’d just be flagged) or I went on too long in the tags. I’m too lazy to change the former and I won’t give up the latter, so I guess here we are, heh.
What time period is For All Mankind set in?
It’s set in an alt reality that veers off around the time of the first moon landing, so it starts at around 1969, and then through time skips, they’ve arrived at 1974 in the latest ep, 1×06.
