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.
