this show has maybe the biggest disparity between sfx shots -> practical shots ive ever seen on tv. all the big sfx shots look absolutely incredible and everythibg else looks like star trek tos with harsher color grading. if the story sticks the landing that might work out all right but i have a feeling the story is going to waste most of the season on boring melodrama

Open Source Idiom posted:They're shooting on location. If it were a set they'd not be doing as much day-for-night filming. its because day-for-night shots are iconic of low budget trashy scifi television

like the show is a schizotypal personality’s attempt to make his delusions into reality. the only way anything makes sense is if this is some bizarre attempt at reverse engineering a manchurian candidate style trigger

GABA ghoul posted:Please post why the show is incomprehensible. I find that opinion incomprehensible(from the standpoint of comprehension) i didnt say it was incomprehensible. i said it was awful edit: i guess i did say it was incomprehensible yesterday. i was mostly referring to the scene where mother is having sex with the mysterious simulation atheist and then wakes up and uses telekinesis to lift boulders and throw them at people scary ghost dog fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Sep 22, 2020 |

GABA ghoul posted:What's not to get? It's a telekinetic murder drone that someone shoddily tacked on a human consciousness to and now it's very confused about its identity and role in the world and it's exploring its humanity and sexuality by using digital genitalia and it's also being psychologically manipulated by her mithraic AI gently caress buddy. Oldest story in the book, pretty cut and dry.(I don't think this is the show for you though) OH WORD SON posted:She used her scream to explode the boulders yes, of course.

Vintersorg posted:Sci-fi attracts holier than thou types all the time that think they are so much smarter and better than the writers. Instead of letting a story play out they infect the discussions on how they would do things or how things should be. It's a fantasy show. Nothing has to appease you - it just has to tell a good story. And the show is doing a drat good job of it. Maybe they'll explain it later - who knows, who really cares. I don't need someone to stop everything, stare into the camera and explain "actually the rock in the desert was from planet yuiier-33z and senses anger". You can piece things together in your head and hey, if it's not what it is - I won't be mad at the show. I'll just accept the explanation. now who’s being holier-than-thou

Zmej posted:yea. I also find some stuff kinda hilarious if you ask a few questions that I don't think writers did. like, this guy who programmed mother and sent a spaceship to a not-very-well-known planets as the last hope of humanity, had seemingly no plans or equipment included to make sure native vegetation doesn't kill the kids. "hey man we're just winging it" but we see him painstakingly reprogramming Mother for weeks (?). I just find it funny that humanity's last hope was ruined because no asked if it was safe to feed the spicy potatoes to the kids lol im guessing he used a necromancer because it would be the best equipped to keep the kids safe, and an ironic choice if it ends up keeping them safe from the mithraic. but its also possible that he had no particular reason, and the writers idea was “what if kids born on an alien world after the fall of mankind are raised by an ultimate human-destroying weapon” hence the title of the show & the scene where she tells the three little pigs story

figured out why this show swaps between sucking rear end and being super good constantly. its a pretty interesting couple of hours of heady existentialist scifi stretched out to fill multiple seasons of episodic cliffhanger based tv

its not about having answers to questions or whatever. its about having a satisfying and compelling narrative, and this show just failed utterly at that, and on purpose

DogsInSpace! posted:Before our Lord and Master Spess Snek showed up I was slightly annoyed. Mother and Father were amazing but the show made little sense. It was beautiful but felt lazy... then the Mother gave birth to milky snek. Father came and saw the baby snek drinking robo milk and they declared they had to sacrifice themselves by going to the core. If it had been ended there I would have said wtf and kept my opinion; instead they flew through the core to the other side of the plant, unharmed. Then the parents jumped out the back of the module Point Break style and we saw the tiny milky snek had become huge. The ship went kaboom and our serpentine Lord flew to the heavens majestically. That was when I realised I had not watched prestige serious sci-fi but something grander. The show is like Lexx or Cleopatra 2525: it’s silly and weird and full of milky fun but with Flying Spess Snek who is a devil or god and probably wishes somebody had named him Chauncey. disturbingly bad post
