It went downhill in season 5 in my opinion. Main reason for this were far to slow pacing plot holes were you cold fly trough a Donnager Battleship and too many Naomi scenes.

I hate to blame the actress cause she seems like a nice lady, but her character is annoying af. The character is not well written and the actress lacks the carisma to make up for it. This wouldnt be a big deal if she were a side character, but she isnt. And even as a main character she is getting way to much screentime.

This is what made me hate season 5 and it doesnt look like its getting better.

Holden gets more 1 Dimensional and boring each episode i feel. Amos and Avarsarala are my favorite characters and are the saving grace for this show.

Now to Naomis family... Marco and Filip are like Naomi not well written in my opinion. Marco is at least okay portrayed by the actor.

Filip is annoying as Hell just like his mother.

For me a continuation of the bad season 5.

Otherwise great episode, with some really cool twists. Lets See how the story continues.

Tamacti Jun better be alive.

A Youtube Film dude told me to come back to this show with season 6 after quitting with season 3 ending. But season 6 and especially this episode are just as bad as season 4 and 5.

Dont waste your time!

Some of the sideplots make this episode a 7/10 when it could have been a 10/10.

The main problem in this season and especially in this episode are too many sideplots!

The bad ones: The whole Aleida plot is compleatly irrelevant and just wastes screentime.

The Sojus Apollo project involving Margo and Sergej is boring imo and disturbs the pacing. It just feels like the writers dont know what to do with this plot while all the other stuff between UdSSR and USA happens on earth and moon.

Molly Cobb having health problems after her return is an example of how to keep a character in a show even when there is no more purpase for the character. Just cut it out, it makes absolutely no difference.

I dont want to sound mean but i dont give a dead dog on Kelly Baldwin searching for her real Parents.

The better ones: The love plot with Danny and Karen is a bit ridiculus but at least funny and has the potential for great conflict involving the actual main character Edward Baldwin!

I really like the character of Ellen Wilson becoming the female lead of the show. Her character is someone i can empathize with her even tho i am a man. That is very rare for me with femal characters so i guess the actress is doing a good job.

Gordo trying to win his wife back on the moon and overcoming his trauma is a nice development for a main character i empathise with.

The main Plot: The escalating conflict on Earth and on the Moon between the two Superpowers is exciting and thrilling. Thats the reason i watch this Show!

The last scene of the episode is one of the best scenes in the show!

To sum it up i think they should refocus more on the main storyline of the conflict between the UdSSR and USA. Furthermore they should limit the sideplots on the lead characters actually impacting the main storyline, which are imo: Gordo, Edward, Ellen, Tracy and maybe Danielle.

Let side characters be side characters!

Edit: maybe bring von Braun back for 1 or 2 episodes.
