ridley scott breaks down on the highway, gets out of his car, raises the hood and is genuinely confused that his engine is not made of milk, spaghetti and marbles

Yeah, they did. It was just weird cause he could have just grabbed him with his pod that could anywhere in 5 minutes, he had him on the tracker, and then she didn't even bother to look for him either. Maybe the new eps shed more light on it, but it was a pretty goofy ending. It just felt like they flat out forgot about him.

Episodes 4 and 5 spoilers: I don't think it would make any sense considering that he was supposed to be a senior church member, however part of me wondered if the rapist would turn out to be Campion.

I’m enjoying this, but I also got it in my head that it’s best viewed as YA fiction and not some deep, hard-scifi examination of humanity, AI, morality, and consciousness. I’m guessing the Mithras worship Sol because a nuclear winter blotted out the sun and they blame atheists. banned from Starbucks posted:Why does she have corn rows in robot mode

It bothers me that all the night shots are clearly day-for-night shots just handled in post I don’t know why because the uncanny weird nighttime light should be just fine for a planet that isn’t earth and a star that isn’t our sun, but it bugs me

Ok I just blew through 1-5 yesterday. I was confused about the Arks. Is there just 1 Ark or multiple? I know there are budget restrictions with a TV show but when mother was onboard the Ark it just felt small so I was thinking there might be more of them? Plus the crew shown seemed like way small for 1000 people?

I thought it was pretty funny when in the flashback there were loudspeakers that kept blaring out The Earth is uninhabitable for humans due to low oxygen levels on loop Like in the fiction of this world there were people just minding their own business, not paying attention to politics, and they would listen to the broadcast on their morning commute to work and go Oh gosh, all the oxygen is gone? I knew something felt different when I woke up, isn't that a bother

Well, there were non specified time skips between scenes so I imagine him being from a well connected family going rebel (and seemingly some pretty important rebel since he was responsible for hacking the androids) he somehow got people to acquire it. But yeah, there were some very cringy scenes

This show has some minor issues but its so weird and interesting and I have absolutely no idea where its heading so I am enjoying it quite a bit. Its not asking much as an investment either so Im super happy to just tune into "weird android hour" once a week. Like I said earlier, theres a lot of Biblical parable vibes to it and I really really dig that. I could see a lot of this written in strange Biblical prose with weirdly framed morality tales for the children of the future of this bizzare civilization that hypothetically emerges.

Yeah when she’s in a hurry in ep 3 she tells the children to please not look at her since she’s still weaponized even untransformed I would try not to think too hard about it. They’re not making an effort to explain too much of the deets I like the allegory to Medusa pointed out upthread that’s a cool little bit with knights and a mirror shield lol Edit: I really liked Mother’s memory scene it was cute

She's been shot in the face and the chest multiple times to no effect. And the eye attack isn't just sound based, it's vision based. You're watching this show while you're on you're phone, right?

I didn't even know it was an eye attack. I just thought it was the eyes that unlock her true form. Like when she melted those guys faces the blast came from her mouth. That's why you have to wear NBC suits.

That's why you have to wear NBC suits. That was my understanding as well. As to whether it's an attack that comes from her eyes or her mouth. Yes. It's freaky and effective and I really don't care if they never explain how it works.

Also her fake name was Lamia Also: holy poo poo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamia quote:in ancient Greek mythology, was a woman who became a child-eating monster after her children were destroyed by Hera, who learned of her husband Zeus's trysts with her. Hera also afflicted Lamia with sleeplessness so she would anguish constantly, but Zeus gave her the ability to remove her own eyes.
