Review by jedinixo

I'm here to counter some of those "disobedience yah right" reviews. If you are on the whole "chain of command means more than movie magic" train, then sure... critique all you want. But clearly you weren't paying attention to the plot from season 1 to here. This episode was an absolutely brilliant homage to the decisions made in Season 1 which led to Russia winning the moon race to begin with. It was a redemption story, for the American people in that alt reality, and an incredible do-over for Gordo, who left the moon in shame and secret at the end of Season 1, in the middle of some of the most intense and emotional journeys of several other characters seeking their moment of heroism - their life's purpose. I cannot express the emotions I felt... and I'm basically dead inside. I'm still thinking about it a day later, and just writing this has given me chills all over my body. This was, hands down, one of the best episodes of television I've seen in the last year. I won't forget it, and I will think about it and the human spirit they embodied, likely for a long time. Well done.
