- TriviaWhen Aleida is trying to make the case that Emma was spying for the Soviets, she mentions Aldritch Ames. This is a real person, a CIA agent who began spying for the Russians in 1985. Ames initially was paid $50,000 for what he had intended to be a one time deal to settle his indebtedness, but continued spying for the Russians because the money was so good. In real life, Ames was arrested in early 1994, after having betrayed dozens of American sources in Russia and having collected hundred of thousands of dollars from the Russians.
- GoofsWhen Ellen is being driven in her motorcade, a poster for Black Widow (2021) can be seen in the background. Scarlett Johansson would have been ten when the scene takes place.
Featured review
...and the lazy writing continues.
Watching Apollo 13 or even The Martian could have benefited the show runners and writers greatly. Space exploration is wrought with challenges and dangers, making it unnecessary to inject forced drama and tension by including psychopaths and snowflakes on a mission to Mars, while ignoring science in favor of nonsensical patches for said lazy writing. Perhaps it would have been better had they hired real technical advisers rather than Star Trek nerds. It's not a coincidence that Star Trek has suffered from the exact same issues since 2005.
No Human has been out of visual range of Earth, and the communication lag means a Mars crew will be isolated like no one else in our history. That is already far more compelling than dumbed-down melodrama. They even hinted at the moral dilemma of possibly wiping out indigenous life, but immediately dropped it in favor of the aforementioned moronic tropes.
