Open Source Idiom posted:Sol is a god in the material sense. He's an incredibly powerful being around which a religion was formed. He can penetrate people's minds, coerce them telepathically, and perform miracles and fulfil prophecies (within the pre-defined understanding of what those miracles and prophecies should be). He operates in means beyond human comprehension. He, to all intents and purposes, fulfils the definition of a god, because they're the being who wrote the definition in the first place. (A "self-fulfilling prophecy", if you will.) No, as far as the series is concerned, he's a purely sociological phenomena derived from the limited & biased brains of humans. Sol isn't a character in the show. The human characters were hallucinating or being affected by some electromagnetic signal that made them psychotic.

the writers have specifically stated that Sol is at the center of the planet honestly have no idea how you managed to watch both seasons and think Sol isn't a real thing. i guess lucius just magically knew to steal the helmet artifact and do that whole ritual with marcus

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Sol is real in the sense that there is something talking to people and having influencing them. His mother was so disappointed in him for asking such a dumb question that she turned herself into a tree and got deep-throated by a space snake. Kid's gonna need a lot of therapy.

Sol is the supercomputer that controlled the Old Civilization's society gained sentience and run amok. It's headquartered in the center of the planet for the unlimited energy source from the planet's core. Captain Picard could beam down to the core and shut it all down with simple LOGIC and REASONING, but these primitive Earth humans/androids are not so sophisticated so we got all these problems.

There is no evidence to prove otherwise, and all the actual evidence we have been shown by the show says she is telling the truth. If it is otherwise then...we will never know. So it is as good as the truth.

CODChimera posted:the writers have specifically stated that Sol is at the center of the planet Yeah it's baffling, to be honest There is something who talks into people's heads and makes them see stuff and that's probably the same something who sent a message to earth with Keplers location and info about it and the droid tech, which is also something that happened and it also wanst just people being crazy because necromancers do exist and the planet was there and full of stuff like the temples that matches the revelation they got from "Sol". These are all facts within the story The question is what Sol is, not if it really exists. It does Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jun 13, 2022 |

Sol being just a result of the people hallucinating makes zero sense in the context of the show. Sol seems to be manipulative and scheming, with motives at odds with the people being manipulated. How would someone hallucinate a cure to a disease using local wildlife that they're unfamiliar with? A bunch of random hallucinations that coincidentally ended up with a woman turning herself into a tree and getting eaten by a flying serpent? Sol wanted that seed planted, he asked Sue to do it.quote:just lmbo if people itt really believe Sol is a real thing and not just a dumb superstition by the theists in the show This makes no sense at all. Even Sue, an atheist, heard Sol. I'm not sure how you can watch the show and think Sol is just the characters going crazy. Nothing about the show would make sense in that telling.

She heard something and bleieved it to be sol, and given how present sol is on her mind and how intertwined her life is with it, and just everything going on, of course anything she thinks she hears or does hears will be sol in that moment. she's breaking down, she broke. hardly the first person at the end of their rope to turn to some metaphysical entity for comfort, punishment, or semblance of order and meaning.

I think that poster is doing a bit where they pretend to be an obnoxious atheist who doesn't understand the concept of fiction, but I can't quite figure out what's supposed to be funny or cutting about it so I'm not entirely sure. Maybe something about the absurdity of dogmatic atheism? In any case what they're saying is pretty clearly disconnected from the show.

How would she have just hallucinated the one thing that could cure Paul? Why would her broken brain tell her to plant the seed, a seed that she didn't even know existed? A seed that just so happens to power up the serpent, that also was the result of manipulating an android? The characters just going crazy would make the show extremely unbelievable and nonsensical, as weird as that sounds. It's quite clear they're being manipulated for an end goal, and we didn't know the how or why yet in the show. Edit: Yeah this has to be trolling. I'm the dumb one here.

Khanstant posted:She heard something and bleieved it to be sol Yeah, exactly. And thats something IS Sol, whatever Sol is. Is the same something who spoke to Marcus and others, the same something that sent a message to earth starting the Sol religion and containing the specs for the necromancers and telling them to go to Kepler-22b and so on

I'm not trolling, Sol doesn't exist and is a bunch of bullshit. Folie a deux happens all the time. I mean look at Qanon. I'm sorry you're not well-versed enough to realize how ignorant or desperate said characters are to depend on a magic sky daddy. Everything so far has had a scientific explanation. Keep getting emotionally angry and posting about it though -- that always helps!
