The Season Four finale of Apple TV+'s For All Mankind premiered last night, and star Krys Marshall did a lot of promo leading up to the episode, including an interview with Entertainment Weekly. She talks about the journey of her character, Danielle Poole, over the course of the decades that have elapsed between S1 and S4, and how the show has impacted her.
- Marshall talks about how after the show premiered in 2019, it organically built up a fanbase during the pandemic. Fans reach out to her to tell her how much they love the show, especially women in STEM careers.
- On Danielle's return to Happy Valley in Season 4: " I love that Danielle has always been a man of the people, and she's a fixer and she's a doer of good things. I see her throughout the season do the best she can to just try to do the right thing, and sometimes, doing the right thing ends up being the wrong thing to do."

- Co-creators Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi are aware that each season finale, fans have come to expect tragedy, but did not feel that this season's finale needed a death after the gravity of the rest of the ep.
- They enjoy playing with the pieces of the alternate timeline that are not directly space-related, like John Lennon's career evolution and the changes in American politics.
- Talks about how they try to be realistic about the character's personal journeys, which is why Ed is "Old Man Mars"m=, and why Deke didn't embrace Ellen back in S1 after she came out to him.
- Their goal for Danielle is to put her in moral dilemmas where she is trying to do the right thing, but showing that it's not always clear-cut what that is.
- They like that the audience sometimes isn't sure who to root for.
- They're cagey about who will be returning for S5, if there is one.
