Welcome to Hi Bob, the officially unofficial podcast for For All Mankind on Apple TV Plus.

I'm Jim. I'm Aeyron and today we talk in season

four episode seven titled Crossing the Line. A lot of lines crossed here on

Figuative physical literal all the above

Aron what do you think of this episode?

I think that this season's success is going to live or die based on this asteroid heist.

That it feels like this whole season has been clearing its throat and doing a tap dance and trying to

get to this moment

There's things about this episode I like

Unfortunately, I find it just wholly unconvincing everything they're doing with Ed.

And every single time they cut the old man Ed, they're in the middle of the striking Helos workers I think this is

stupid this is this is not how this would really go. I am kind of shocked at what

seems like just some of the laziest most thoughtful like writing in some of the

sequences for example how did the people that got blown up in the Argonne fueling incidents get back to medical treatment and safety?

Palmer single-handedly drug them back through that tunnel.

I think, I honestly don't think the writers even considered it.

They certainly didn't give me anything to indicate that there was a way that that could have happened.

Like I feel like they forget that they're not writing for Star Trek and there aren't actually

teleporters.

Just some weird like self-inflicted wounds in the telling of this strike story where it seems like they're taking a lot of shortcuts,

they're like hammering characters

that don't really fit the narrative thing
