“Prime Crew”

For All Mankind is back up tonight as I watched episode 4.

After the tragic events at the end of last episode, NASA struggled to continue the female program. Under questions about potentially pulling the plug on it, Deke goes against orders to announce the four women who were now astronauts. Then, he removed Gordy from the Apollo 15 flight and replaced him with Molly Cobb.

Shockingly, I just discovered that Molly Cobb was played by Sonya Walger, a name that I recognized. Watching her in this episode, I knew she was familiar, but could not place her. Once I saw the name, I was able to place her. She played Penny on LOST! I love her and I was really a fan of the character here too.

NASA put the females on the fast track, even as Nixon was preparing to kill the program to focus on the Moon base.

The episode focused in on the reactions of the different characters in the show. Not only in the astronauts but also with their families and wives.

The film ends with the astronauts heading to the moon.
