This last episode has me all-in. I really, really hope this show gets a third season. I'm having way too much fun for it to be over in one more episode.

Yeah, I actually pre-ordered the series 1 blu-ray to hopefully give a little nudge. I never do stuff like that and if they don't renew I'll cancel it  .

Did we ever get an explanation for what made the dude in episode 1 explode? I first thought 'maybe Necromancers have Bad Blood' but then Sue helped Lamia with her bleeding/lactating earlier, and just wiped up her blood with a cloth that she was holding in an ungloved hand, and Sue didn't pop. Maybe if you put your hands inside one, something happens (dark photons!) and you explode. I'm also like ???? about 'don't look at me', where Markus and Paul looked at Lamia while she was in necromancer form, fighting the snake, and they were both fine. Is it just "don't look into her necromancer eyes", since she was facing away from them? But then what about when she killed the AI and assaulted the Atheist compound right after she got her eyes back. All of the troops were facing her and looking at her (I think they might have had visors on though?). Some exploded but that was due to her shout. I also want to know what is up with that silver skin of theirs. Does the spaceship just have a bunch of replacements? They've had multiple cuts into those suits, and then they just reappear with fixed suits later on. And finally, to explain 'why is everyone so blase about it', well people just shut everything out and concentrate on eating and sleeping and working, when poo poo goes bonkers. See the last few years for reference. edit: I also find it weird that Grandmother says her priotity is to preserve humans/humanity, but she hasn't left father's room at all yet. She's just chilling doing nothing at all.

Pretty sure the explicitly mention they have human DNA, which made it worse they were eating the creatures. Thinking back too that the crops they were eating in S1 would only grow where the snake bones were and the plants were radioactive, a nod to the snakes' droid origins.

I still think there’s gonna be some big reveal where we find out that the whole Sol signal to Earth and Mithraism in general will be a causality loop based on time dialated future human ancestors of the current human refugees based on Kepler-22b.

Father wonders that out loud at some point after they find out there used to be a human-like civilization, maybe after they get a look at the big guy? There are softer clues running up to it like their meat tasting like pork.

CODChimera posted:it feels like we're getting dangerously close to knowing "whats going on" so I think there's gonna be at least one game changer in the season finale We’ve already known the basics for a while. S2:E7 is just the point where Grandma helps the audience catch up if they haven’t already figured it out. The show is otherwise extremely diligent about having the characters immediately drop a quick line explaining what they’re doing and thinking after anything happens. (It’s mildly annoying once you notice it.) lynch_69 posted:I'm still surprised none of the characters seem even slightly perturbed that the planet they landed on HAS THREE DIFFERENT SENTIENT SPECIES OF HUMANOIDS and ANDROIDS EXTREMELY SIMILAR to the ones they brought from Earth. I get why the Mithraics accept it all as Sol's plan but even the atheists don't seem to care all that much. It’s less that they don’t care, and more that there’s nothing they can really do with that information. They have a warehouse full of trinkets and some ape-mans wandering around. That being said, only a handful of people seem to know about Grandma and the surviving keplarians.

I'm sure there will be time to ponder the acidic mermens once they no longer risks being liquefied.

Considering their willingness to just lay everything out on the table this season, especially in the last episode I'm worried season 3 isn't going to be a thing. HBO usually proudly announces a new season being picked up after the season premiere of a show. At the same time I think they could do a perfectly fine job of wrapping everything up in the next episode if they have to. Really the only things that need to happen are some sort of closure on Sol, destruction, confrontation, submission or whatever. Deal with Goku snake somehow, and then wrap up what the characters will do. For all of the people feeling the show is some "mystery box" I feel like it's a pretty simple show and most of the weirdness is just weird cause that's how the show is. The actual hanging plot threads are pretty minimal. Everything else is just fantasy technology which is fine as is and doesn't even need to be explained.

Also in season 1 I jokingly called that rapist guy a Dark Souls NPC, but after two seasons I have gone from thinking that was probably a coincidence to thinking that people involved in this show 100% play Dark Souls and wanted to apply that style of world building to a TV show.

Dark photons and weaponized giant snakes are fine but goons draw a hard line at tactical realism of hairstyles and night lighting being different from us … in the future … on an alien planet.
