No HBO channel / app here, as in most countries, so it’s on Sky, which does indeed suck.

I like how The Trust is apparently perfectly fine with people wandering off to build Bartertown, in spite of previously being portrayed as a bit of a control freak, with the task marbles and everything. I guess it recognizes that people need an outlet.

We can see Marcus sleep wrapped in a snake skin which he believes gives him solar powers



Show still crazy, i love it. The planet is full of evidence of previous inhabitants and nobody gives a gently caress or thinks to mention it. Just finding relics everywhere.

The atheist society is tightly controlled with daily tasks, but just off screen there's a huge slum with Battlebots lmao. Father resucitates a million years old android by giving it juice.


Serious question, was this atheist outpost mentioned at all in season 1? I thought the planet was uninhabited, except by the giant gollums. Was this colony here all the time and just watching what was going on on season 1 via satellite? Why did ragnar "have" to eat Mother's eyes again?

The Atheist mothership arrived at the end of the last season and presumably set up this outpost.

Having barter town battle bots is cool, but maybe put up a barrier or something if the robuts are going to be using projectile weapons.

They're not one use? We're told Collective members have to return them when they're done, and the third episode implies the marbles have multiple other functions (e.g. tracking and data gathering).

The aetheists arrived at the very end of Season 1 (there's literally a shot of their ship entering the atmosphere in the first season finale). They've only been on the planet for six months.

Caleb/Marcus was force fed mother's eyeballs by the other Mithraics, after they became angry and distrustful of the insane man. This was presumably meant to give him a horrific time-delayed death, just like what happened to the coroner who was playing around with mother's innards in the first episode this season.

Unfortunately, Marcus is instead seems to be integrating with Mother's circuitry -- hence the veins, the ability to draw energy (or instruction?) from the sun, his sudden fondness for Father, his newfound ability to climb like mother can climb, etc.

Thank you for the info, and good catch on the climbing.

So an atheist and a mithraic mothership were arriving at the same planet at the same time? The atheists were aware of it, as they thanked Lamia for destroying it. But what was the original plan of either faction? Recreate the war that destroyed earth here? Was a reason givin as to why they didn't attack each other on the way here?

Mythraic momoship arrived at the beginning of season 1. That said season 1 takes places over a few days after the crash landing. Both factions were trying to escape earth. Guessing they cant fight each other at super luminal speeds.

Yes, the plan is to recreate the war. In episode 1 (or maybe 2) of this second season one of the Mithraics said they would've won the new war on this planet if something hadn't happened (I think if Mother hadn't killed everyone). The atheists are obviously happy with continuing their war on the Mithraics - they're strapping bombs to them and using them as bait.

Yeah, Decima -- the space travel technician who killed her daughter -- says she deliberately mislead the Atheists into thinking the Tarantula was a functioning spaceship. Then cryo failed one year into the journey, leaving the Atheists trapped for twelve years in close confinement, prepping for a fight with the Arc of Heaven that they'd probably be too exhausted and on edge to win.

I wouldn't say the Atheists are happy to kill all Mithraics, so much as they've spent the last twelve years committed to the task, on top of most of them being traumatised child soldiers. And there's always the possibility of more ships coming from Earth.

I think they're just magic marbles that will do whatever is plot necessary to allow you to accomplish your task. Nobody gives them the bags they're carrying around to gather poisonous radioactive fruit in

I got the impression that the snake bomb squad was all the mithraics left, but this show does play pretty fast and loose with population so it can kill people constantly like the 100

I can't imagine that anyone else has imagined a tangible ending to this

Also does s2 feel like they moved the needle way too far to the "have exposition" side? Almost every line is an infodump of some kind including father saying "oh whats this?" To nobody because he's alone in a room, While tweezering his weird skeleton girlfriend

Paul randomly reciting the entire prophecy to campion

Mother constantly looking into the camera to say "I don't have my eyes" and "I am my OLD self"

Another dodecahedron that doesn't do anything meaningfull, multiple weird caves

Weird long obvious shots of a cave that later has stuff in it

Everyone in every scene loudly explaining the action that just happened on screen

Endless weird artifacts on this planet that are just conveniently on the ground where they are

I didn't even talk about the snake at all yet but the giant pile of snakeskin that clearly indicates nothing survived the shuttle crash

A fledgling vampire? How about a dragon, or some half-kobold druids? Perhaps a spontaneous sex change? Anything that can happen, will happen the results will be beyond entertaining.

When I was a kid I had a very vivid nightmare once about aliens invading my planet and the aliens were riding space snakes that slithered through the sky like it was water.
