I only know about S19 from your edits, so I’m sure I’m missing parts, but how do you feel about the whole maya sleeping with another person thing? Doesn’t seem like it was resolved and now they’re moving in. But I guess nothings normal in covid times

Well, I hated it, and tbh, that kind of changed how I engaged with the ship. It was a huge reminder to put this into the “enjoy the good things while you can” pile instead of something to get invested in on a emotional level. There will be episodes where it’s going to be cute and consistent and then others where it’ll flip entirely for what the plot needs *cough*FILTHY RICH Ep 9*cough*

Even without covid, they might have moved in together quickly, just because the writers have to think of something to give them to do and this show will always lean toward what creates drama. But given that it is covid times, as you said, I don’t really think it’s that out there for these two, who can be already be impetuous but now would surely be happy for some solace as emergency workers during the start of a pandemic as well as some general companionship, aside from trying to get back to the makeup stage of their…physically affectionate relationship, heh.

Is it going to be problem-free, given how recent the cheating was and the added pressures of moving in and the pandemic? No, but they’ll get some good drama and processing of everything out of it, hopefully.

Just to be accurate: during the videocall Carina says “bambina, it’s not safe etc etc”. Bambina literally means “little girl”, but we use it like a word of affection: it’s like baby, honey. We use it a lot in Italy, especially here in sicily ? it’s cute. Xoxo

Oh, awww. I didn’t catch that at all, and the closed captioning had it as “I mean” but it does make more sense that they didn’t both start consecutive sentences with “I mean”, heh. Thanks for the correction! That definitely makes that scene even cuter.

I saw people commenting about Maya and Carina’s kissing being bad, do you agree? Now that someone pointed that out i see it

Uh, no, I haven’t really ever thought about that… I don’t really focus on that, as you know, I’m pretty into the emotional aspect, and I see so many complaints on general but it’s so many factors, right, what network, what timeslot, what genre, the age of the characters, the stage of their relationship, if that particular kiss is supposed to be affectionate or romantic, the fact that f/f kisses have an extra spotlight on them to not seem male gazey or “porny”, etc, etc. I’m pretty non-judgmental about all that since I don’t know what’s going on BTS. 

But I can still see how they are even if I don’t judge and these two never really stood out as being terrible to me? I guess we haven’t seen much of the actual kisses, they’re mostly just about to, hence me making a whole gifset about them smiling into their kisses, or like…hidden by hair or whatever. There was that good one in the office last season, though? When Carina flipped her hair?

For All Mankind S2 got a Feb release date! I am really holding out hope for more wlw content in Ellen’s storyline (hopefully with Pam)! That S1 finale gives me hope that they may focus *something on them. Just wanted to share haha :)

Ah, nice, that’s not far off then! Time suddenly seems to have really sped up and now we’re almost at the end of 2020. o_o 

Yes, I’m definitely expecting more for Ellen, they wouldn’t have done so much with her at the end of s1 if they weren’t going to expand on that, right. Can’t highlight how unjust and sad it was and then be like, welp, back to Reagan. And actually, given that President AIDS is back in the picture, and Larry…it’s going to be relevant. 

I’m not sure, now, how I want the relationship with Pam handled. If they rekindled something in the timeskip, great, but I don’t want them to just be in love for 10 years, apart, and only back in each other’s lives because the camera’s back on and it’s time to pick up certain arcs. In that case, I’d almost prefer them having moved on to other people who they’re happy with. …though it would be super romantic, heh. I’ll just wait and and see.

Do you think that dude could be philippa’s son?

Oh, hmm, that’s certainly a possibility. She called them San, presumably that’s an Asian name? Have I missed any reference to them before or is this just brand new onscreen? 

I went back through the flashbacks and grabbed these of San:

And then when the helmet’s off, you can’t see the face, except in a reflection, rotated for convenience:

That’s not Michael, right? Even though one of the flashbacks also included:

I assume that’s just one several references to what we saw in the mirror universe in s1.
