Why start it at the Norse part of his story. WTF?

You could have had all the greek gods, spartans.

Dammit!

Is this a thing in the games too?

It is Sony

As someone who just gave up on For All Mankind after 2 seasons, I'm not exactly hopeful.

The show's formula is basically:
- 10 minutes of thrilling (expensive) outer space action and suspense
- 50 minutes of human drama, which consists of someone doing something infuriatingly stupid so that there can be a source of drama and a problem for the characters to solve
- plenty of stunning and brave girlbosses to set the men straight (although nobody in this show is immune from doing something stupid when the show needs some more drama to fill the time)

Toward the end my wife and I were openly mocking the show. We figured that you should just predict every character will make stupidest and most reckless decision possible, and you'll probably be right.

I only watched 1 season but found it kinda frustrating.
I love the concept of the show, the idea of the USSR reaching the moon first and it creating an extended space race.
But yeah lots of people doing stupid stuff for the sake of personal drama. And out of all the ways to explore this really interesting alternate history setting, focusing a huge amount of time on "but how would this affect women and the LGBT community" just feels like wasted potential.

I have a lot of faith in Moore's abilities, but the Horse era of God of War is just a letdown to me all around, so an adaptation of that is inherently less exciting to me than it otherwise would have been.

Still keeping an eye out.

I'm confident in the show because ronald d. moore has an insanely impressive track record.

Battlestar Galactica
Worked on star trek
For all mankind
Outlander

Oh man you're missing out on so much quality storytelling, like:

Spoiler

Gordo is now some fat, divorced has-been. Ed convinces him to go back to the moon base + selects him over some much better-qualified candidates so he can relive his glory days and win back his ex-wife

Karen cheats on Ed with their dead son's barely-legal best friend

Molly has to rescue someone during a solar storm, so she removes her dosimeter so NASA won't find out how much radiation she got exposed to. Then she keeps it a secret from everybody even as her vision and health deteriorate. She finally gives up on her plan to return to space after almost crashing her plane, but still tells nobody about the radiation.

Aleida is now some SUPER GENIUS engineer but she can't hold down a job because she's a mega-bitch who can't work with others. Margo visits her at the trailer park and BEGS her to come work for NASA so she won't get deported. Then she causes some trouble by insulting a guy at Mission Control who pissed his pants because he couldn't leave his post during a crucial operation. She redeems herself by making amends with that dude, then solving a big challenge figuring out how to dock the American + Soviet ships together.

And plenty more. I can't wait to see what expertly-crafted drama Ronald D. Moore has planned for GoW!
