For All Mankind is always fantastic, but it’s best known for its incredible finales. In each of the previous four seasons, Apple TV’s alternate history sci-fi show has always built to some massive, tense, game-changing moment, followed by a mind-blowing tease of what’s to come. The season five finale was no different, and, with it teasing what’s to come in a sixth and final season, we had to break it down. Most of For All Mankind season five centered on two main stories. First was the independence of Mars, which was in danger of becoming automated and found itself at war. There was also the need to continue exploring the galaxy, which we saw with the journey to Titan. Both of those came to a close in the finale. The Mars thing ends semi-peacefully, with Mars claiming and reestablishing its independence thanks to some wild heroics. And, once communications came back, they had incredibly exciting news from Titan. Kelly Baldwin and her team found life on another world. Yes, For All Mankind just introduced aliens. But not your typical buggy-eyed ones. Simple organisms that challenge the notion of life itself. You see, the organisms are made of methane, not carbon, which fundamentally flips all knowledge of how life is created. If life doesn’t only originate with carbon and can, in fact, be created from methane, isn’t it possible it could be created from any, or every, combination of elements? The Titan team all agrees that the discovery confirms there’s life everywhere, in every possible iteration.
