3rd February, 2020.
Hmmm …
I have to admit, I was at my usual job centre meeting, this morning.
I’m job-hunting at the moment: and have to report in, once every to to three weeks.
Not that it helps …
Much.
Frankly, at the moment … ?
There’s not much coming in!
~≈†≈~
At any rate … ?
One thing I can do … ?
Is keep myself entertained.
At the moment … ?
Right now, I’m on Series 1.
And yes: it’s still looking good …
~≈†≈~
Episode 6 — Home Again — opens on 23rd August, 1974: as Apollo 23 is preparing to launch. With the newly promoted Gene Kranz (Eric Ladin) saying good bye to the crew, before they leave.
The launch is delayed fo a while … as one part of the Saturn Five needs replacing.
It’s only as Gene and the chief engineer walk away … that the rocket explodes on the launchpad.
Killing the twelve launch on the pad, and injuring the Apollo crew: who survive only after a dangerous ejection in the life capsule.
The deaths … ?
Have repercussions.
For starters, it means that the NASA astronauts — Ed, Gordo and Danielle (Joel Kinnamon, Michael Dorman and Krys Marshall) — on the Jamestown base are stranded.
And, whilst they’re getting re-supplied?
The team are starting to get serious cabin fever.
Cabin fever not helps by bad food, worse cleaning facilities … and Russians setting up over The road.
~≈†≈~
The situation’s worse, back at Houston.
The FBI are investigating the explosion: convinced there’s Communists under the bed, evil doers roaming the base … and militant homosexuals lurking around in nightclubs.
Ellen Waverly (Jodi Balfour), is one of the female astronauts seriously worried by this: as her And her girlfriend are being emotionally affected.
And, with all going on … ?
NASA’s administrator, Harold Weisner (Wallace Langham) has a job for Margot (Wrenn Schmidt).
Weisner needs Margot to pick up one last report about the explosion. From the one person most qualified to give it … and the one person Margot really doesn’t want to see.
Dr Werner von Braun …

Now … how did I feel about Home Again … ?
Pretty darn good, actually.
Most series have they’re ups and downs: obviously.
With the last episode of For All Mankind that I saw — Into The Abyss — being a pretty impressive piece that racked up the up the tension, and certainly kept me glued to my seat.
Well …
For All Mankind has done it again: although Home Again isn’t an action adventure piece: more of a political thriller.
It’s given us All the President’s Men, combined with Silence of the Lambs.
I loved it!
Frankly?
I thin k I’ve got a free night, tomorrow: I may just be watching more …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
