This episode was so fantastic. It has a space x vibe to it. The episode shows the beaucracy of NASA and how the commercial space program can thrive without all the red tape. It was great to see Ed stick it to NASA at the end of the episode. This show doesn't get enough love and it's absolutely amazing. The conversation between Karen and Ed was pretty emotional. I hope they get back together. It was really nice seeing Karen having her ex husband's back.

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, FAM is back and it's just as good as I remember it. Apart from the Danny/Karen storyline this was a very entertaining episode.
Also they played "Fly me to the moon" which is always a win.

Now I Understand The Previous Episode

I was very disappointed in the previous Polaris episode. It seemed to get way off track from the space exploration theme with the space hotel. Without giving any spoilers, after seeing "Game Changer" it all makes perfect sense and I like the direction the series is going. Very entertaining and satisfying.
Brilliant

What an absolutely fantastic sci-fi alt history show. Clever , poignant and thoroughly engrossing. Season 2 was spectacular, letting itself down sometimes with the kitchen sink drama that missed more times than it hit. But I think the writers have learnt some valuable lessons from that and season 3 seems to still make you care about the characters but the soap drama has been toned down. Can't recommend this show enough. I can see why some people think this is taking a pop and white middle age men but honestly, you are going to really have to twist stuff to make that narrative fit.
Old Blue Eyes is back!

Without adding spoilers, I'll just say that I wasn't happy where this episode was going. That changed in a tremendous way! Love where this season is heading, can't wait for the next episode. With that said I will now replay episode Game Changer!

Season 3 Episode 1 was *amazing* and somehow, this episode is even better. It was nice to see Ellen and Larry again (poor Larry's hair) and I loved that the Helios/Phoenix group got the one up on Margo. Danny is definitely going to be a problem for Karen and Ed and probably really soon.
Thank you!

Season 1 and 2 were good! Season 3 takes it to the next level. It has been a long time since I enjoyed good quality television. This was very good and great fun to watch. It left me wanting more. Thank you. I hope you continue the path you have taken and look forward to the coming episodes. To everybody who has not seen the series: give it a try folks, you won´t regret it!
Grrrrrr.... Easy Ollie

Ollie is my favorite new character, SEND HIM TO SPACE!!! Excellent episode, better than last week tbh, for me at least. Nice and focused, pushing through all of the characters narratives, vey well written, really sets up the season.
I enjoyed Margos sort of "heel" turn, and the shake up and bureaucratic change at NASA. It provides the needed conflict for the series, seems to be shaping up as Helios vs. NASA, as opposed to the US vs. Soviet plots of previous seasons. Honestly not a bad pivot, and really what the series needs to breath some new life into the plot. Sort of makes the viewers pick a side, Team Helios, or Team NASA. Smart...
Ellen's story is compelling, especially the personal life aspect. It's both sad, and very realistic, very true to life during that time period. I have a very strong feeling her plotline is going to absolutely explode in a tragic fashion.
At this point, how old is Ed? Like really... he'd have to be what, 55-60 by this point?! I'm sorry, I'm willing to suspend some belief when it comes to the aging of the characters over the timeline of the series, but it's becoming increasingly difficult. It gets brought up in the dialog, often self deprecatingly, but it's still there regardless. His Affirmative Action moment with Danielle was...well it was as uncomfortable. Not sure how they push the series further without some major cast turnover, I believe they want to do 7 seasons total.
Again, great episode.
