From the very beginning of the show, Joel Kinnaman's Ed Baldwin has been a crucial part of For All Mankind - but his life hangs in the balance at the end of season 5 episode 2.
Meanwhile, episode 1 revealed that Ed is suffering from serious health problems, with his doctors telling him, in no uncertain terms, he cannot fly. So what does he do? Hops behind the controls of a hopper amid the rescue plan.
Is Ed Baldwin dead in For All Mankind season 5?
Of course, Ed's fate has purposely been left up in the air, so we can only speculate for now. It's notable that a medic was called, which would suggest Celia Boyd (Mireille Enos) found a pulse and that Ed is still alive. But will they get there in time?
It's also interesting that, this season, For All Mankind has placed particular emphasis on the next generation, including Sean Kaufman's Alex and Ruby Cruz's Lily. Presumably, the pair of them will have greater importance as this season progresses, and into season 6.
What would be the ramifications of Ed Baldwin's death in For All Mankind?
Ed has been the anchoring character in the show since its very first episodes. While each season jumps forward in time, meaning there have been plenty of changes and recasts, Ed has been the figure grounding the entire series. Without him, the show will have to rely on its newer characters – and perhaps this is the reason for the focus on the younger generation.
