Apple appear to have made season 1 free to view for a limited time.
Pretty sure these will be revealed, in passing or up front, later on in the season (having to wait a week between episodes is both a teeth-grinding annoyance and a semi-amusing memory lane trip to older days of TV), but I'm curious as to thoughts here:
1. Who would Gary Hart have as VP (unless it's Clinton)?
2. Would Clinton still pick Gore in this timeline?
3. If Gorbachev's still around in the early 90's (maybe the Soviet portion of the "space economy" and the energy developments mentioned in the trailer help keep things somewhat more stable domestically), how do perestroika, glasnost et al look by then, presuming they happen at all?
I think one of the bonus news clips on Apple TV+ covering the gap between the second season and this one mentioned that Al Gore was Gary Hart's VP and made an unsuccessful run in the primaries against Clinton.
Didn't see this on the site, or in the newsreel clip opening the current season; do you recall where exactly you saw it?
My review of Seven Minutes of Terror is up now on Warped Factor. Also…
Check out the details of Ellen’s Oval Office!
A fantastic review, as always!
Slight gaffe in the spoiler tweet: As I recall, "Home Again" in season 1 mentions it did happen, with the same punishment (or lack thereof), just with a different President. Still wouldn't prevent the portrait being put up, however, esp. considering the background of the current Prez.
Does the White House taping system still exist then?
Saw this rant about the third season. Thoughts?
I agree with this rant, the FAM witters have jumped the shark.
Yeah, they'd have been better off putting a bomb or something as an anti-tamper mechanism in the thing rather than a North Korean who presumably is able to survive through extremely powerful photosynthesis.
Truth be told, they probably would have been better off replacing North Korea with the PRC, but then the PRC would probably have banned all sales of For All Mankind in China.
