It’s the Pop Culture Professors, and we analyze the first two episodes of season five of For All Mankind, Apple+TV’s alternate history show about a world in which the space race never ended.
First, we discuss the season premiere, “First Light.” We focus on the presentation of Mars as an alternative to the social and political system of Earth, and explore the degree to which a Martian rebellion seems likely. We look at the alternate history of the show's depiction of 2012, including the presidency of Al Gore and the analogy between Mars and Iraq.
Then, we tackle episode two, “The Hard Six.” We focus on the apparent discovery of extraterrestrial life and how that relates to the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter hypothesis; rights and citizenship on Mars; "Craters": as refugees or undocumented migrants; Dev Ayessa's continued pursuit of utopia. We also offer a critical appraisal of the episode as a work of drama, and answer listener's questions.
