The writers of this show probably lock themselves in a blacklight room full of beanbags and Hendrix albums for two weeks, do Hunter S. Thompson-levels of drugs, and then emerge from the room with the most batshit scripts ever put to paper. It’s impressive, honestly. Magnificent, even. DOOBIE DOOBIE DOO WE GOT SOME MILKY ROBBITS 4 U

The only show that is even close to this level of "dosing datura while laying down in a tub full of cockroaches" is 12 Monkeys. And this manages to be less coherent and weirder than a show where causality was an antagonist.

I hope Sue the tree leads a long and prosperous tree life and nothing bad happens to her… Sol is pretty malicious - saying “plant the seed” but leaving out the in yourself part. I was expecting Tempest to chuck her baby into the sea, but I guess the end result for her was that but slightly different. I’m trying to figure out the through line between the Sol temple hole man who turned into a werewolf monster (who lived in holes in season 1), the mermaid monsters who love dragging humans into the sea (where snake holes are), and Grandmother asking how many humans were on the planet. It feels connected, like the next line from her would have been, “They need to leave now.” like idk gardener Grandma spent thousands of years growing how this relates to when Marcus got a whiff of the tooth dust that made the ancient alien into a monster man, but didn’t turn - and he didn’t have Mother’s eyeballs in his stomach protecting him - is weird too. wolfs fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Mar 5, 2022 |

Two thoughts: 1. How many of the plants in the tropical zone are based on people? One of them now, or all of them always? 2. Is grandmother part of the baby collecting scheme, or just aware of it? (She has an image of the merman in her code when father is talking to her / examining her, and she reacted to the potential of a baby last week).

The theme song reminds me of BSG, in that It makes me want to sing along with it and mangle it horribly. “THE DOOOOOOOOR…”

Yeah I kinda thought she'd dragged herself out there so she could give birth to her baby and have it drop off a cliff directly into the acid ocean without her having to look at it, but perhaps that was a little too cruel.

Yeah, that's what I got put of her whole "i don't want to turn around" stuff. She was just gonna poop out the baby and let it die from exposure.

i initially thought the singer of the theme was this woman who sings for a band called Little Dragon, after further research this turned out to not be the case. i did discover a similarity: they are both accursed Swedes! i'd know the guttural cry of a Swede anywhere!

Mother or Father are gonna have to save the day with Chocolate Milk in a big late season twist. Chocolate Milk overrides the Mermen and turns them into neon pigs. The neon pigs then burst like balloons and the settlement is saved. However, more questions arise and Ragnar looks directly at the fourth wall and slowly flashes a smug grin. Smash cut to the credits.

"Tomorrow, Paul and I are going to grow the tree. And then getting you out of here is gonna be a piece of cake." What? How did Sue think the tree would help them break Marcus out of jail? They then go on to effortlessly free him without any assistance from the tree, making the whole thing even more nonsensical. Sometimes, the show feels like it was written by one of those scriptwriting AIs.

I can scarcely imagine the smorgasbord of drugs and experimental substances involved in making the script of this episode: *Writers room, Raised by Wolves* OK Tom, nice work on the baby plot, having it taken by the alien acid Merman was a nice twist. *Tom nods affirmatively, drooling over the table* Now on to the tree. So we're at the part where Sue managed to open the dodecahedron by singing it some mithraic lullaby. How do we go from the seed to the tree. Dave? - Dave: Umm..... ehm..... maybe she just plants it? - Goddamnit Dave, what do you think we're doing here? Take two pills from the pile over there and chug them down with the glass of spiked milk next to you. - *Dave, after staring into the fabric of the universe for a good 5 minutes* Sue...tree...Sue...tree... Sue becomes the tree! - Now that's what I'm talking about! DrThief fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Mar 5, 2022 |

SimonChris posted:"Tomorrow, Paul and I are going to grow the tree. And then getting you out of here is gonna be a piece of cake." She's pretty clearly lost any ability to think clearly the moment she gave herself fully over to Sol. Everyone who's been affected by the signal, except maybe Paul, has gone completely batshit in their certainty of "Sol's" divine plan. I suspect Marcus and Paul are just going to roll with this new information, and get all in on the "eat of my flesh" part of Christianity.

Is there some sort of psychic coercive component to what people keep calling Sol's voice? Also, weren't they supposed to be protected from it in the tropical zone due to some sort of shield?

Vorgen posted:Is there some sort of psychic coercive component to what people keep calling Sol's voice? Also, weren't they supposed to be protected from it in the tropical zone due to some sort of shield? I've wondered about how effective that shield actually is -- Marcus seemed to be communicating with Sol as long as he had the ability to, thanks to Mother's eyes. Sol, in the first season, seemed to be only able to be to influence one follower at a time; the only Mithraic it seemed to speak to was that rapist dude on the way over, then it leaves Mother and goes to Marcus, it leaves Marcus and goes to Paul. In this episode all three, Marcus, Paul and Mary/Sue, seemed to be euphoric, but the only person who was being directly influenced was Sue.

Is there a reason why everyone save Mammy and Pappy has the shittiest haircuts in the world? (Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I missed it.) I think that Paul has a little bit of a stereotypical Hitlerjugend/Neonazi haircut and Campion one of the stereotypical artist/hippie family, but many others just look like some fashion victims or DIY 80s knockoff cuts. So they kinda fit Paul and Campion, but most others are just random rear end-looking.

I think it's just a "what if" applied to future fashions I can totally see mullets, undercuts, and terribangs making another round. Campions is just...lack of upkeep. I don't think mother/father have hairdresser protocols installed because creator Campion had a buzz cut and wouldn't have considered it
