- TriviaPresident Wilson's statement that "we didn't do these things because they are easy but because they are hard" is paraphrasing a speech by John F. Kennedy on September 12, 1962 where he said "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
- GoofsThe North Korean cosmonaut is listening to music in his capsule when the batteries in his tape recorder start to die. A close-up of the cassette shows the tape hub visible through a transparent shell. The next shot of the recorder shows that the tape in it is a different design, with a label that covers most of the face of it.

Everything in its Right Place
Who knew all we needed was the North Koreans to land on Mars to make the show interesting.... the opening 10 minutes was one of the best scenes of the season. A lot of loose ends are tied up, preg'rs Kelly turning into Iron Man, Ed's storyline comes full circle, his interaction with the stranded N. Korean astronaut was a nice call back to previous seasons. AN ACTUAL MOLLY SIGHTING!!!!!!! Poor Danny, dude literally got kicked off the island, they should have done it 5 episodes ago... The domestic terrorism plot was the OMG moment, shocking, so reminiscent of similar incidents of the 90s and early 2000s that occurred in the US.
Up and often down season, the weakest of the series thus far. Ridiculous amounts of ideology and rhetoric injected into the series, very often not enough attention paid to the actual premise of the show. Much of the season felt more inspired by Grey's Anatomy than by Apollo 13, First Man, or The Martian. Countless dead this season... like 7 or 8 astronauts, the victims on the ground, the body count is a bit ridiculous and yet another similarity to Greys, killing off characters as a plot device. I guess it's necessary, the cast needed to be turned over, it's just sad the only way the writers can do it is by killing them off.
Regardless, the season ended on a complete high note, thankfully, it makes it easier to forget what a slog much of the season actually was. I'm looking forward to the 2000s.
