The third episode of this season is all about maneuvering even more than is usual onFor All Mankind.
Remember when I said this show hasunexpectedly strong Jane Austen vibes?
Theyre back in this cold open!
Pinkie fingers brushing together so lightly that you might think it didnt happen at all!
Awkward but socially and politically sanctioned running away!
The near-identical sequence of tiny moments unfurls four times with only the tiniest variations.
It almost begins to feel like a precious gem of a time loop.
We get rocket science as diplomacy as well as a dizzyingly high-stakes competition.
And also flirtation progressing with all the deliberate speed of geologic time.
Is it all happening?
If the threat of being charged with treason wont fly, perhaps strangling Sergei before her very eyes will?
Meanwhile, Danny Stevenss appetite for (self-) destruction appears to have no limits.
(As it should!
Were seeing red flags left, right, and center!)
Both Dani and Ed think theyre doing right by Danny and by his late father.
Once again this season, Danis right, and Ed is wrong.
Is this her routine thing?
Either way, how long will it last?
