He's such a sad sack poo poo dad. He really thinks he loves Paul and wants to be part of a family, but he's not, he's a dumb piece of poo poo that fucks everything up and it's kind of a joy to see.

Honestly, if you replace Paul with Campion, the same could be said about Father.

What do we think the new android will do? There were some pretty threatening looking scenes in the last episode, but it only did one thing which was a medical baby scan, so it doesn't seem super threatening yet. I bet there's some nightmare face behind the veil, though.

I assume it just has the face of the creature that Marcus found. The veil was there so we wouldn't see it yet.

I mean, it glowed a lot already! Now it's standing still. And has already performed a medical scan while veiled. What more do you want from our (old) new android?!

Well, we can see from the body and nose that it's not just another mother. It's a new thing entirely. I'll just go with 'it's entirely benevolent and won't have a new nightmarish way to murder people'.

This and the magnificent faceless daughterbot god squad massacre is legit the first time I've ever applauded a film or TV show, I cracked up completely in delight and disbelief at what I was watching.

I'm desperate to learn more about Dadbot's bit on the side.

This episode brought pure joy to my cold, dead heart. I tried describing it to friends and it just sounds like the drug-fuelled ravings of a madman.

Postmodernity means the exhilarating freedom to pursue anything, yet mind-boggling uncertainty as to what is worth pursuing and in the name of what one should pursue it.
The ancient android is gonna make the orphan thing come true by ganking the girl as soon as the baby is born, then use some kind of alien magic to rapidly age the kid up and like... Milk something? Milk the snake. Yes.

Stop listening to Sol dumb dumbs! He tried to have you shot last year, Mary/Sue.

Father's psychotic new robot girlfriend is not where I saw this plot going, but drat I do not hate it.

Did anyone think Tempest would give birth to a rat man baby?

I'm really afraid that this show will finish at some point and not provide some clear answers to what is going on.

...I'm absolutely terrified though, that the show will finish up cleanly and answer all the mysteries. This wild bullshit show making sense in the end is a horrifying thought.

are you that mainframe hacker guy?

I just watched last week's episode and I was wondering what the writers room must be like. If this was an AMC show the whole season would be just focused on the mithraic and they'd be annoying the whole season arc.

It's like they go "what's an annoying trope, let's do the opposite of that"

I admit, I was only half paying attention during tempests dramatic walk on the beach and then :tviv:

Did anyone else notice marcus' forehead veins starting to get darker again right after he ate whatever that flesh seed fruit was?

i want a spinoff that is just Marcus travelling to a new planet every week and each one is more hosed up than the last one. lots of terrible things happen to him and he experiences horrors beyond the ken of most but he always escapes at the end of the show only to end up at an even more hosed up planet next week. the theme song is called "the Ballad of Why-Does-This-poo poo-Keep-Happening-To-Me." still workshopping his catch phrase but right now it is "sol please let me die."

Didn't they say they have a plan for 5 seasons?

So, this is my first time venturing into this thread, and I'm pretty much the only person I know who watches this crazy show. Is there a general consensus on what overall is happening?

My theory based on from watching the show: At some point humanity on Earth got to the point where religion was not much of a thing anymore, and most people were athiests. Then there was some sort of signal from an alien intelligence that people interpreted as a god, and began worshiping it. The "god" gave them knowledge and technology and directed that its followers destroy the athiests, and all out world war broke up. Near the end it gave them the coordinates for its own long destroyed home planet, and told them to come, telling them it's for the purpose of coming to god or whatever, but really it just wants to use them to restart its own civilization.

What am I getting wrong? I'm sure something, since I haven't been following any fan theories.

I was watching this in vlc and accidentally pressed the key that accelerates playback speed just as daughterbot's rampage started so it was comically accelerated and I genuinely thought they did it on purpose as it looked equal parts dumb and amazing
I was disappointed when I figured out what happened
