I laughed out loud when half-faced android just wholesale slaughtered the mithraics and when Space Ragnar murmured ''what the gently caress'' at the sight of an ancient desiccated alien reviving and mutating before his very eyes.

I like how the engineer had been asleep for a million years only to get shot in the face 10 seconds after waking up. To be honest the only line of dialogue in this show should be "what the gently caress" . Also the half faced android lines when she was murdering everyone were great

Fantastic show. I have to say though that I don't find some of the bad characters as compelling as the good guys (mammy and pappy are just stellar). I wouldn't think the show would lose much if Ragnar/Marcus stepped on a landmine. Similarly, I think I was supposed to care for Paul, but was actually hoping for him to be gone (which of course wasn't realistic). Would have liked to learn more about Tora Tora, but I guess they'll drag that out until some kind of showdown in the season finale. Vrille's scenes were just the best. Still not too much into the religious themes. Sue "doing her own research" and "the power of prayer" - eh. (Yes I know that these things might end up making sense in the show's universe.)

Father and his jokes. He's so good. I really want to see more of that veil android in action. Haha Vrille's revenge was terrifying and hilarious.  all those Mithriacs. Where's Sol now?loving leeches why did you have to save Paul?  DrThief posted:I laughed out loud when half-faced android just wholesale slaughtered the mithraics and when Space Ragnar murmured ''what the gently caress'' at the sight of an ancient desiccated alien reviving and mutating before his very eyes. Same but also when Lucius called himself the last true motherfucking Mithriac.

Where the gently caress did she get all those leeches??? I saw she picked up 2 and then ran way. Suddenly he's loving covered in them! I was hoping he'd turn into a lizard. "What the gently caress" indeed. That scene and subtitle needs to be in the OP. If it was possible make that the background of this thread when you load it. threadid=3938135? background: what-the-gently caress-rbw.png

They caught a half-dozen more fishmans the same way. The show just skipped over the fishman-cleaning montage so that we could have more excellent robot murder sequence.

I just tell myself the top layer of the ocean is six inches of normal water that washes off the acid from mermen and also makes the ocean spray, mist, residue, etc not eat through everything. Because if you told me a body of water was insta-kill acid then the last thing I would do is have romantic, windswept conversations next to it, no matter how nice the sunset looks (assuming the acid works like smog). I would in fact stay far, far away from it under all circumstances.

I have to watch this show as living mythology more than as sci-fi, because those details are all insane. If this planet has an ocean so strongly acidic it dissolves objects in seconds, I don't see any way the overall biome is otherwise "like Earth." Presumably the atmosphere is Nitrogen / Oxygen / CO2 with water vapor, since people just breathe it comfortably. And there are no repercussions for living on the coastline of an ocean of...sulfuric acid? Hydrochloric? It's all fine, just don't swim in there. Praise Sol.

The ocean water's acid component is ivermechydrocloxotinbleach, which is only acidic to things submerged in it. Otherwise the water is 100% safe to touch, drink etc. They're also safely walking on the beach without it doing anything to the soles of their shoes, q.e.d.

One of the episodes Marcus and friends were walking on wet sand. It still bugs me. I want some acid ocean consistency. Or do I since having everyone next to it leads to hilarious deaths? Quite the conundrum.

I love how this show skips over the bullshit and goes straight to the wild poo poo. On another show, we'd have a scene of her recruiting Campion for her plan, followed by a scene of them both justifying the risks to Mother, followed by a scene of them using some science device to clone/grow enough leeches. It would be an entire episode dedicated to this and leave no room for Marcus and the vampire or Campion's robot girlfriend's slasher revenge or Father awkwardly flirting with angel-amazon-bot.

Did I dream this or did Sue de-escalate a conflict with an alien acid monster by acting like a dog? Either way it’s true in my book.

Combo of that and Campions new biblical skill, the sling I need to reread the Book of Enoch, come to think of it. This show is supposed to be loosely based on it I do appreciate that they "explain" the horrible filters for night shots: when Sue and Paul have their heart to heart about alien Jesus, they show the three moons just being all rude and bright in the middle of the night.

Yeah, that episode rocked. Sad they killed off Nerve the casting breakdown for her part had a much bigger backstory for the character involving experimenting on herself for the Trust.But it's one of a number of breakdowns that were for roles severely shrunk this season. Sayeng, for instance was meant to be a recurring character, and you can see a still for a scene with her that was cut from an early episode if you go to the HBO press website. Who's Sayeng? Yeah, exactly. (She's the robot gladiator blackmarket woman.)
