Has any attempt to get rid of something ever escalated more quickly than “we’ll throw it down a hole” to “we’ll get in the only spaceship with it and crash into the core of the planet”

Mother and Father were cool and I sure was interested in the backstory but the actual plot to this show was real bad. The ten minutes we spent in episode two watching Mary and Marcus run through the ruins of Boston and change their faces was the most compelling part of the series. Everything else was nonsense. I said earlier in the thread that RBW is the thematic sequel to BSG, and just like BSG it dropped bonkers answers to vague questions and nosedived in quality in the back half. Hooray.

I for one am enthusiastic about future space snake related narratives currently being dreamed up by ridley and co. I mean, its brilliant. These guys just cornered the loving market on space snake related plotlines. I can't even think of another space snake who slithers half as good as this bad boy.

He's the best survivalist in the Unabomber sense, not the Jim Bridger or Nando Parrado sense.

I'm starting to believe that Scott had nothing to do with the snake parts. Someone came to with him with the idea of making a show about huge flying space snakes, lampreys and eels and he tacked on androids, child actors, space travel and all the religious symbolism.

I guess they theoretically could have flown the lander to the exosphere and ejected it but where's the space snek storyline in that

Mother didn't have the ability to colossus without her eyes for some reason. Ragnar put an axe through her twice. Seems like the eyes either have magic or is just a key.

OK, swinging in to find out if finishing this show up would be worth my time. I think I stopped around the fourth episode. Right when the kids had run away and Mom and Dad split up to find them. Did the show ever get going?

The show is great and you should finish it. It won't answer everything though. And it is very much sci-fi fantasy. Enjoy the ride.

The show runner is definitely not a snake oil salesman.

You should watch just to see Father read a dude's power level like a DBZ character after the guy transforms into Super Rapist Form 2.

Pros of finishing the show: Father and his dad jokes are utterly wholesome, and--as much as I might've bitched about the plot--the special effects and cinematography are really good. Cons of finishing the show: six more hours of lovely kids, :ohholkyfuck:-style writing that wasn't good even when it was novel,* and a muddled ending that doesn't do poo poo for the narrative except string it along for the hope of a second season. *Definitely the worst part of the otherwise incredible new Watchmen, while I'm on the subject

Please don't attempt to understand They have the DARK PHOTONS activaters which is why his face gets all weird when he eats one ??? I'm sure it's all metaphor anyways because RS loves that poo poo. My favorite part was when Mother turns to the camera and explains to the audience how she got pregnant It's very extremely Prometheus: The TV Show and it's ok.

Also it seems mother can still hurt people pretty good without her eyes just with android strength and kung fu. Not sure of father can also do this.

The show was really bad with everything from unlikable characters to the plot running out of steam a few episodes. Also the whole cliche of having kid characters that are really annoying and try to do suicide episode with their bad decision making.

There is no honor here. Continue living on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and do not voyage far.

I mean it's absolutely crammed with  Mother needs blood so she plugs herself into a rapist wearing a Dark Souls NPC helmet but the rapist somehow reverses the flow and sucks out mother's milk which gives him super strength and a passing spaceship scans him and says "That's weird that guy has unusually high power levels" but then someone steals the android head from his backpack and throws it off a cliff so his head implodes!!!

I loved this dumb show and want more. Glad to see I'm not alone in thinking it was both awful and excellent. I was fully entertained throughout. That's something rare, for me.
