wooger posted:Huh, Ragnar is like half the show and his blessed/cursed ascent to power is incredible. I find him completely flat and uninteresting on any level, just an abusive dad type. Just a manipulative rear end to religious zealots, which I also find uninteresting. That's why I laughed out loud when Vrille killed a lot of them. (I don't dislike villains because they're villains, every second of screen time with Darth Vader, the T-1000, Jang Han-seok and many others is fantastic.) Fortunately, the show has so many other redeeming qualities in its characters and plot that I can see past him. Mr. Smile Face Hat fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Feb 27, 2022 |

Things in this episode felt like they sort of made some sense and that the things that happened were connected to something else and not just made up on the spot while writing the episode. Yeah, this episode was a bit of a let down let's hope the next one won't repeat this mostake

GABA ghoul posted:Yeah, ok, agreed, but what is happening? It's not very complicated at all, outside prestige's TV typical use of gratuitous characterization to 'play with the audience's sympathies'. Y'know, that soap-operatic stuff. The story is simply that last remaining humans have gotten caught up in a conflict between the Ancient Aliens who helped found Rome and what appears to be a snake-themed enemy faction. This latest episode has 'revealed' to us - though not to any characters - that the creatures wandering around are probably alien snakists cursed with lycanthropy by "Sol".

I don't think Sol cursed them with snake lycanthrope. I think the snake lycanthrope comes from the Atheist's patron, Grandpa Campion maybe. We see Romulus's tooth give off a spore attack like Mouse did, but it doesn't turn the vampire into a snake; it turns him into a morlock like we saw in season 1.

Right; the 'morlockification' is what I'm referring to as lycanthropy, since the land-creatures read as canine. Based on the tooth, I believe "Sol" is behind that, while there's a different (snake-related) force manipulating the oblivious Atheists.

Sol influences Paul to shoot Mary so as to keep her out of the way when the snake baby is born. They're the same force.

Y'know, that soap-operatic stuff. Hmm, ok, ok ... I see your point.  And the snakists were capturing necromancers(which are Sol tech) and trap them in dodecahedron cages to give birth to the holy necromancer-hybrid snakes.Maybe the Mithraism conflict on earth parallels what happened on Kepler? Sol was the AI leading the Kepler atheist anti-snake faction. The bioweapon that the Trust used was very similar to what was in Romulus' tooth. If the teeth were really mass produced, they were intended to be worn for protection if someone ever comes into contact with a snakeist.

snakes against god so do we think the glowing figure and the veiled ancient android are one and the same or are there 2 weirdos wandering around also I feel bad for all those mithraic’s in Marcus’ group! they somehow survive s1, lose their funky space crusader armor, then get done in by a faceless damaged child in s2 with just a few more episodes to go!

Yeah, same. There are a couple of new myseries introduced this season, but it's clearly on track to resolve all of the ones introduced in the first season finale by the end of this season. Like, I don't expect them to answer "what is the signal?" but I do expect answer to "where is the signal?" and "what's the deal with the snake?" by the end of the season, and have a pretty clear idea about the new android's loyalties and goals, if not exactly its history or purpose. What's everyone else's expectations for this season?

I remember going into season 1 hoping for a story about rebuilding humanity or something. When things were much, much more insane than just that I was a bit confused and wondering why things were so silly and I was vaguely dissatisfied. But by the finale, with everything that entailed I finally realized that this show is an amazing deadpan comedy, and the serious show I had been expecting would have been way more boring. This season makes sense. What's going on at any moment has some understandable explanation for why it's happening happening. Some of those explanations involve huge unknowns, but even with some of the premise still mysterious, the events all follow from each other logically. It makes its own kind of sense. But there are absurd and inexplicable scenes every episode. Every episode has made me laugh in incredulity multiple times. If you're up for that kind of nonsense, this season has been an absolutely amazing ride.

I like the mix of subtlety and bluntness this show has sometimes. Like in the latest episode with the giant snake skeleton, there is a human looking rib cage inside the snake rib cage. It's almost comically explicit that this ancient snake did not eat pumpkins, it ate people. And yet that human rib cage is only in the foreground of an unrelated shot where Marcus is trying to shimmy over to that tunnel. No one points it out, and the camera never focuses on it. It's like how the mermaids were introduced randomly during Campion's escape through the woods and no one ever commented on them. Or that joke where they were using tiny little nets on sticks along side all the other equipment when the community went snake hunting. A lot of stuff just happens without much focus leaving the audience to wonder what the heck they're watching. The first leech on the glass was visible for quite a while before Sue noticed it, just something on the screen you can't quite make sense of. It's a lot of fun.

I like how Marcus just take everything in stride. When he sees that the android has killed someone and carved of their face he just sighs and unholsters his gun.

Marcus isnt my favorite character but I like his child like stupidity while he stumbles through whatever the gently caress he is supposed to be doing and surviving. One day hes like hey ill do a 9/11 the next day hes a bad kisser, another day and he gets a cool tablet. Hes kinda the show personified "im going to turn off my brain and see where this goes."

Remember when he wriggled out of a jam by snuggling down to fall asleep right next to a bottomless pit, then got up and decided this didn't feel right, and corrected the situation by tying himself to a nearby boulder? Which was obviously the correct thing to do because he was subsequently knocked into the pit while he was sleeping but was saved by the boulderrope.
