I do love this show. Is it coming back?

One of my favorite little moments is all the scrambling to be first on Mars…only to learn later some North Korean guy was actually first.

Yes, Darren mentioned that.  
I just saw the episode where all three crews got to the surface through a comedy of errors. I presume the NK guys are waiting for a ride home. I should wait before I complain how they got enough food in a Soyuz.

Go ahead and complain. Also complain about getting enough water and oxygen and CO2 scrubbers and…

Also complain about surviving 7 months afterwards on the surface of Mars with what was in a single Soyuz.

And enough sanity. Put any person in a Soyuz capsule for the better part of a year, and they’re going to be stark raving.

We enjoyed the series enough but at the end it just impossible to suspend disbelief. Especially the bit where Ilya found a spare room where he could build a still and make alcohol, and smuggle stuff to others like LaserDiscs and Playboy magazines! Even in the world of Happy Valley, I’m sure space was at a premium. That there could be a unknown spare room available for illicit activities seemed unrealistic. But by then, reality had gone completely off the rails.
