'For All Mankind' Season 5, Episode 5 Review: The Boston Martian Massacre
📖 Full Retelling
All season long, For All Mankind has been building up to some kind of Martian independence movement, for the people who live on the Red Planet to stand up and declare that this is their home and they deserve to run it, rather than be dictated to by bureaucrats back on Earth. One of the things that's been irritating me about this season is how the show has been stacking the deck in favor of their perspective. The cause of Martian separatism has champions like Ed Baldwin, who died nobly a couple episodes back ; and his brave grandson Alex, who uncovered information about the M-6's plan to replace most human workers on Mars with automation. Meanwhile, one of the only people arguing that we should prioritize life on Earth is Palmer James, the smug head of the Mars Peacekeepers (MPK) whose interests include blackmail and police brutality.
