- TriviaThe name of the episode refers to military doctrine of the same name. Rules of Engagement or "ROE" are a set standard of conditions, circumstances, manner and to what degree which the use of force may be applied. Such ROE can be "you have to right to defend yourself" or it could be stringent as "do not return fire even if you are fired upon" ROE conditions can be added or removed as situations evolve.
- GoofsIt is implausible a wireless bug would still be working after 9 years and never have been discovered as Jamestown was expanded.

2nd season is amazing
Armed astronauts and beer in bed. Will wonders never cease?
For All Mankind Season 2 Episode 3 explored the realities of the US/Russia situation on the moon, and it could get ugly. And Tracy's penchant for booze makes you wonder if she should be anywhere near the moon anytime soon, something we've already wondered about her ex, Gordo. There are some pretty shading happenings on the moon, and the US doesn't know how to deal with it, so we don't know what to make of it, either. But arming astronauts doesn't seem like a good idea, no matter how you slice it. The military was already all aflutter during the solar flare and had bantered around weaponizing one of the upcoming shuttles. So when astronauts discovered their gear displaced on the moon, it caused quite a panic. It seems the Russians took over a US mining area, leaving the US to ponder how to get it back and keep it. Reagan decided it was as easy as getting it back under our control. But the discussion around the table with everyone that matters proved it wasn't going to be that easy. Margo initially thought getting it back was imperative. Then Bradford stated the obvious. That ruffled Margo's feathers quite a bit and started talking about sanctions. It's hard to imagine what good sanctions would do on the moon, so far away from everything being sanctioned. Even Ed agreed that the only way to hold a position on the moon would be through force. Ed's in an interesting position, though, and it's one that he'd rather not be in. He has first-hand experience with his pal "Ivan," aka Mikhail on the moon. Mikhail wasn't the monster Ed would have expected, and without his help, he might not have successfully gotten off the moon at all. Kelly's desire to attend Annapolis, finding Shane's hiding space for his favorite toys and Ed's confusion collided for one hell of a family argument. It's hard to believe that Ed spent so long blaming himself and that he never properly grieved for the son he lost, but the confluence of recent events worked as a pressure s.
