Open Source Idiom posted:The Mithraics lock up children unless they convert (both on Kepler and, according to Paul, on Earth). Yeah this is bad quote:They murder nonbelievers using weapons of mass destruction, which are programmed to murder even nonbeliever babies. Also bad, but the Atheists may also have been slinging nukes first or in reply quote:They execute their own for breaches in their faith. ? the only support i see for this is that Lucius' father was executed after he got a whole bunch of Mithraics killed quote:They have inflexible caste systems decided by birth. Children deemed for military service are kept away from their families and the real Marcus is clearly an abusive dickhead who encouraged Paul to abuse animals. Wait til you hear about what religious fanatics are actually doing on earth right now! quote:They've committed genocide in the name of Mithraism, not even sparing people who used Tarot cards. lol quote:They're hardline fanatics who consider all that don't believe in Mithraism to be atheists, and that's a belief that contributed to the widespread destruction of humanity on Earth. That's not milquetoast. the entire show so far they've basically just functioned as foppish redshirts who can't even kill a single android. having lived in America my whole life and having been immersed in utter villainy, these robed goobers ultimately don't seem that threatening to me!

I must have missed it somewhere, but where is it reveled that the snake is telepathic, or was it the implication that it was telling mother where to g to give birth.

The ship falling into the core really looked like a spermatozoid reaching the egg. Add one to the motherhood visual metaphors's counter. That was an insane hour of televisions. Answers? No, gently caress you. The balls on the writers. I'm gonna be here for at least a few S02 episodes, see where they go. The cave painting can either be explained via time travel or androids in a ship coming to the planet being something that has already happened in the past. But I don't think exlpanations and logic are the big selling points of the show. I mean, the superhuman robots had to kill a small snake and decided to DRIVE INTO THE CORE OF A PLANET.

And my god, the number of emotional outbursts my mother had when my brother died, and she didn't have the excuse of being an android unable to parse human emotions. Sometimes, when your kid dies, you yell a lot. Sometimes it's weird yelling.

Just my own thoughts: I actually liked the finale and thought the first season was pretty good overall. I'm taking the show as more art/symbolism focused than "this should all make perfect sense." I love the bazillion religious/birth imagery things they stuffed into this show and especially in the last episode alone. -Mother getting pregnant from her creator and Father needing time to understand (with a character named Mary in the show) -The mashed-up Adam/Eve stuff with Eve giving birth to the serpent and then the couple going to Eden (if that's the tropical zone) instead of being banished -The sperm/egg imagery of approaching the giant core (and that being on the metal card from a previous episode, which also looks like a sun with rays) -The flaming (sentient?) core being "Sol" like a sun -The serpent birthing yet again out of the ship at the very end It's more of a show to absorb and not really nitpick. I'm not going to obsess that much over how "devolve" is stupid or why characters aren't making the right decisions because if I did, the whole thing would fall apart. The atmosphere and care given to other parts of the show (the music, the character and costume design, etc.) make up for that. JazzFlight fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Oct 2, 2020 |

Vintersorg posted:This show is simply amazing and I am all in on this wild ride. Agreed. Its so insane and it knows it and its just having a great time throwing so much crazy iconography around to make some weird scifi religious mythlogical insanity. Its like the thesis of this show is "What kind of insane bizzare hosed up origin history would have had to have actually existed for the civilizations and people of a planet to come up with all the crazy myths and religions that have cropped up around the world for eternity but it actually happened" Like I am so happy to sit down and watch a show that spits out insane ideas like "what if Quetzalcoatl was birthed by an android"

Seven Hundred Bee posted:Right - except (small nitpick) you don't evolve "back" - because back connotes a hierarchy of traits - you just evolve. This is fairly pedantic. It's "devolving" from a frame of reference of smart humans -> feral animals. Sure, you need to establish that hierarchy of traits, but to the viewer and presumably the androids humans turning into feral animals is a worse-off state. Why are people assuming the cave drawings are indicating time travel? Some entity on the planet is able to manipulate humans senses, presumably it did that to whoever drew that stuff, they just painted it like Paul built his miniature city.

Gonz posted:This show is if Zardoz had a baby with the baby from Eraserhead. People keep bringing up Zardoz in comparison to this show and I just need to say, as a person that LOVES Zardoz, and has watched it many times with others...Zardoz for the most part makes sense the first time you watch it through. I'd say 90% of people mentioning it have only seen the first 5 minutes with the giant stone head (which is pretty wild) and never gotten past that, but the rest of the movie uses surreal imagery and terminal British-acting to tell a pretty straightforward story with consistent rules for what's going on. I mean, the movie even has multiple flashbacks where characters explain in specific terms what's going on just in case the viewer is getting lost. In other words, Sir I know Zardoz, and this show is no Zardoz.

That made me think of something, there are other Necromancers right, do they all look the same when not in "battle mode"? So we can potentially look forward to seeing Mother making out with another Necromancer that looks like Mother just like Walter and David in Alien Covenant.

So was the guy in the cube a human or android? The head did not seem like a normal mummified head and he was drooling android jizz so I am assuming the former.
