Okay, so I'm happy for them to say they found some fuel for the Apollo CSM. I'm willing to forgive Ed doing a wild untethered throw rather than just driving up next to the CSM and handing it over. I'm happy at a stretch for that to somehow be enough fuel for the CSM to get back to Earth. However my ability to suspend disbelief has been completely shaken by the CSM somehow having its RCS replenished as well. Even if this is an alternate universe, I find it hard to believe the RCS and main engine run on the same propellants, and even if they did I'd expect one would need to refuel each system separately. They could have spent a few seconds anywhere to fix this. Maybe a throwaway line that they've standardised RCS and Main Engine propellants? Maybe the titan resupply missions delivered enough main fuel, but they needed to drama salvage RCS propellants to save the Apollo CSM, which would then use RCS to enter lunar orbit? I dunno, it just doesn't sit right.
