- TriviaClosed captioning translates the writing on the grip of the pistol found in the Martian soil as Protect the Leader at all costs, but based on the Korean shown, it roughly translates to "defense to the death".
- GoofsInducing hypercapnia as an interrogation method is patently ludicrous, as it is generally too slow to create any useful effect, or if induced quickly would cause a person to almost instantly lose consciousness and die as their the respiratory system would fail within as little as one minute.
Furthermore, the screen clearly shows oxygen levels maintaining 20.1 percent volume whilst the carbon dioxide partial pressure continues to rise. This mixture almost always causes immediate seizures, and loss of consciousness owing to central nervous system oxygen toxicity.

Brace for Impact! "Perestroika" Explodes With a Season-Ending Bang!
Oh. My. Gordo! For All Mankind, you glorious spacefaring beast, you just delivered a season finale that sent my emotions rocketing faster than a Jupiter Direct launch! "Perestroika" wasn't just good, it was a supernova of storytelling, detonating plot twists, character arcs, and sheer awesomeness across the Earth-Mars spectrum.
From the nail-biting tension of the Goldilocks mission to the Earth-shattering political fallout, this episode had me glued to the screen like EVA velcro. The writers masterfully weaved personal struggles with global ramifications, leaving me cheering for my favorite characters one moment and gasping in shock the next.
Speaking of characters, let's talk about development! Ed Baldwin finally confronted his demons (and Dev!), while Margo Madison proved once again why she's the ultimate boss lady. Danielle Poole's journey was particularly poignant, reminding us that even in the vast expanse of space, human connection remains paramount.
But enough about individuals, let's talk about the universe! The cliffhanger ending had me jumping for joy (and maybe a little fear?). The potential ramifications are mind-blowing, and I can't wait to see where the writers take us next.
And production, oh production! The visuals were stunning, the score epic, and the acting top-notch. Every scene felt like a cinematic spectacle, transporting me to the dusty plains of Mars and the bustling halls of NASA.
In conclusion, "Perestroika" was a triumphant culmination of everything I love about For All Mankind. It was thrilling, emotional, thought-provoking, and left me desperately wanting more. To the creators, cast, and crew: please, for the love of all that is spacefaring, don't let this journey end! We need at many more seasons to explore the wonders and pitfalls that await humanity amongst the stars!
Rating: 10 out of 10 light-years traveled (plus an extra point for sheer awesomeness!)
P. S. Did I mention I loved it? Because I REALLY loved it!
