Tempest owns but made the right calls when it was too late around the wrong drat people every time. Woulda loved to see that baby and his fishmom grow up together. What's up with them again, I should rewatch the last eps because I was so :O I missed some Big Lores. The fishmen are grandmothers' right, she's evolving them into weird for her ~AI protocol gone too far, uncharitable interpretation of intention~ thing, right? But what's bad about being fishfolk? I'm less interested in being the longface-dog-monkey alien, but the mermaids? Well I can't not support the mermaids. I'm pro mother, pro-mermaids. I'm anti-grandma but... if the mermans are hers, am I pro-grandma? Ah geez

if your god is so weak to need to use tech and tools to get their godly image going and also you could theoretically get better tech than them, or possibly just fuckin kill them or even just take advantage of its limitations. if god is just some friggin pervert with some fancy tech, people are not gonna wanna put faith in it the same way. imagine the audacity of some galactic middle manager trying to pull bullshit like send himself/son to be killed to show off your resurrection tech and then have the gall to tell everyone you forgive them. i guess not all religions have the same kind of calvinball god like christians do, but sol is def in that style. I think the difference is massive.

A god is something you can't do much about, you try to avoid it's wrath and collateral damage as bets you can.

A super alien is still physical matter that can be hosed with, you can launch it's rear end to a star or a blackhole and wreck it's existence. An alien is a conquerable oppressor humans are obligated to overcome, a god is not*.

Yeah, but have you considered that maybe a god could be good? Like, maybe this thing wants to help out. Maybe it's a Posadist all powerful alien that has perfected socialism and just wants to help alleviate suffering. Or else it wants to advance [thing you value], and it actually has the power to do it. You might find yourself willing and even eager to help out such a powerful benevolent being.

Not saying that's what Sol's deal is, but Sol's worshippers seem to think along those lines. And in practical terms that's what the Trust was too.

The theology in this show is almost cartoonishly simple, but still manages to be pretty interesting.

Yeah, I reckon if a god were actually straight with me or us about things, and we could know it's motivations, means, and goals, like, if they align with mine, yeah I'm not looking for personal power but the best means for my agendas to be advanced. So be it if some crazy alien out there (or crazy AI) is leading the charge, but I need that transparency to have that kind of faith and loyalty, and I'm still going to be actively hostile to any forced hierarchy and every instance of people using the faith organization or power structures to their own selfish ends, nor showing any deference to certain tiers of clergy or whatever. We all work for the alien, fuckin walk your rear end like the rest of us.

I find it harder to rally behind a god that doesn't have a "real" explanation, hinging entirely upon gaps in scientific or biological understanding. The god I was raised to believe in was spectacularly pointless, and they had basically no good answers or ideas about any of the whys of God. if i knew god just needed psychic worship energy to power his cosmic generators for a neighborhood of cosmic god beings or whatever, i'd be more inclined to think about devoting my worship to it. as it stands he just seems like a really manipulative creep and control freak for no real reason, especially if it's as powerful as it says it is.

Good point. I appreciate that mythology approach here in general, real hard scifi terraforming and planets isn't a good setting or environment for storytelling on a human timescale. Science also has a way of making things bit more boring and mundane, sure, plenty of poo poo we don't know abou the universe, plenty of theoretical states of matter or whatever, but we're never getting candlyland planets or anything rad like that.

Humanity would've been turbofucked if she didn't blow up the mithraic ship. that was a good thing.

yeah they really goofed on the radioactive potatoes but i'd like to point out how our parents all fed us cancer causing foods and slathered us in whatever cancer causing creams and cancer powder up our buttcracks.

i admit, cauterizing her udders and trying to do a big infanticide was a bad look, but considering the trauma of the conception, the rapid changes and growth, not havinog a fuckin clue wtf is gonig on, like, even normal human births cause a lot of postpartum conditions. honestly kind of got to give her a pass there too.

shutting down shodan was good too.

growing the grandma turned out to be bad but come on, nobody could've known it was a genocidal robot seed

The radioactivity needs time to ripen, duh.

Okay putting on my stupid idiot writer hat for a second maybe there's a compound in the tubers which uhhhhh binds to all the radioactive poo poo and (coincidentally) doesn't get digested, so the kids who eat the fresh tubers just pass the radioactive poo poo in their radioactive poo poo. But when the tubers are stored for a while the binding compound breaks down ??? and the radioactive poo poo gets digested and passed throughout the body, boom, dead kid.

All that said if your kids died of a mysterious illness you'd think taking a look at the food supply might be a priority

i work at a factory and we just got a huge order for and edible face-caul that stretches to cover your whole body, it's like a big fruit roll-up almost. I sampled one of them and when i chewed my way out of my cocoon I finally figured out what it tasted like, a little bit like cherry but with heavy undertones of the feeling you get when "season 3 is renewed." rumor has it they're making a line of cereals and fruit-snacks gearing up for a big season 3 push, trying to get more of the kid audience who are an underperforming audience demo despite most of the cast being kids, by volume.
