I liked the season, I like this weird show So, the way I understood it: - the technocrats vs believers war had been going on that planet for a long time, but here the atheists have won, by creating the "dark photon" (?) android tech - the atheist put Gramma in charge, and she decides to devolve humanity - the believers becomes the resistance, trying to stop and undo Grandmother's work. For that they create biotech like the seed, the snake, all those relics etc. These are the weird cultist guys we see - they lose anyway. but than they find earth and manage to send a signal, with the scriptures. The scriptures contains the dark photon tech and are meant to manipulate humans here into destroying their own planet so they will have to flee to 22b (also releaved in the scriptures) where they can free 22b humanity again - the Mithraic become dominant on Earth, thanks to the tech in scriptures, but during the war against the local atheists, the planet becomes uninhabitable, all according to the plan. Humans flee to 22b where they are manipulated by the signal to wake the bio weapons meant to free humanity from Gramma. But than Father wakes Grandmother too, and she uses Mother to defeat the snake (probably meant to free and/or "re-evolve" humans or something like that), and than disables Mother herself, so she can resume her work and devolve all this fresh new humans too - the fact that she lost the veil is starting to get attached to Father is probably going to be her weak spot The part I have trouble making sense is that we also had technocrats on earth, just like the original ones, for some reason (maybe they also send some kind of signal to earth?). Also the whole plan actually depended on earth's technocrats, and not the mithraic, hijacking sending a modified necromancer to 22b edit: also I hope the fact that almost every human left ate the strange fruit from Sue-Tree is going to have some consequence next season. Also I hope there's going to be a next season Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Im just now reading the thread. What is OG Campion? And I also felt pretty bad for baby snake. After what he know about Gramma, Im pretty sure its wanst evil at all and it didint want to destroy the planet Im sure that without the veil Mother would have understood it at that moment in space, and would not have destroyed it Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Open Source Idiom posted:He's the original man who reprogrammed Mother and Father (and the Trust) and sent the pair of robots and the embryos to Keppler. Campion, the kid, was named after him. Ah yes, I forgot he was also called Campion edit I think he also received some revelation from the signal to create Mother. He was a mithriac before, right? Probably he also got some kind of message that prompted him to switch sides and do what he did so a necromancer would be sent to 22b The way I see, the signal was manipulating both sides of the war in order put the pieces it needed in place on 22b Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Zachack posted:I assume they originally looked like humans and are now partially devolved, one tooth or starfish away from merman/chupacabra. Hence father at the end of s1 saying iirc that the parkour one was a devolved Neanderthal. Very late but: yeah, thats what i thought too These are the humans left, but they were already in the process of devolution too, just in an early stage My theory is that these remaining rational human are the ones who created the cult and the signal and the bioweapons (adapting the techonocrats dark photon tech) to resist the technocrats AI And than, when they failed, found a way to send transmissions to earth to try and get the humans here to go there to free them from the AI And knowing Ridley Scott, I would bet the reason the humans in 22b knew about Earth is because they were the ones who seeded life here billions of years ago in the first place (or maybe just messed with our evolution to create humans here) Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Zachack posted:I think something missing from your various comments is the presence of Sol/Entity, because an actual god-like power changes a lot of what you wrote. Me? I believe Sol/Entity is just something that human resistance came up with, something like a Wizard of Oz. Maybe originally intended to flock the more devolved humans away from the AI control, and than used to manipulate humans on Earth to do as they needed (go to 22b). And its god-like powers are just future tech The AI created the EMF field to prevent it from influencing the ex-humans on the tropical part of the planet. But for some reason, it left the rest of the planet unprotected, and than from there they were able to send the transmission to Earth Something like that

I also thought S2 was both faster and weirder than 1, but I like them both Also S1 was less weird ion general, but the snake birth surely took most by surprise. I guess in S2 we were already expecting the weird

I like Campion. I like that refused both the technocratic ideology and the mithriac faith and made up his own radical pacifist vegan ideology. And than feel in love with a faceless murderous robot girl

Eiba posted:I thought there was some implication that the Mithraic texts were ancient, but I'm not confident that they actually said that now that I think about it. Im not 100% sure but I think its said the texts were received by someone in a revelation (so Sol talking in their head)

Raised by Wolves was some of the most unique and original sci-fi we've gotten in a real long time. Yeah, dumb GoT spin offs that will probably be cancelled too after 1 season And more Westworld, a show that became incredibly stupid after 1 good season

Sol is real, I don’t think the show leaves much doubt about it. He spoke into other’s peoples heads, not only with Marcus. He also somehow sent a message to earth which included the tech for the necromancer droids and the location of kepler The question is if it’s really a god (probably not), not if it’s real or really communicated with Marcus My personal theory was that he was a Wizard of Oz of sorts which the human resistance (comprised of the last humans who somehow evaded devolution, or at least were less devolved, like that dude Marcus found below the temple) created to try to drive the devolved humans away from the droids rule. They also created all the biotech that seems Sol related, like the snakes and trees and etc (probably adapting tech they stole from the droids) They fought the droids and they lost, and than Grandma created that electromagnetic pulse to block its signal on the good part of the planet and thought it was over. Except the cold part of the planet was still unblocked so the human resistance managed to send the signal to our earth (the Sol revelation) to try to get humans from here to go there and help them free themselves. Also they knew about our earth because humans originated in keppler and were sent here some time in a distant past for some reason Anyway, we will never know now

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 |

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

priznat posted:I was really impressed how season 2 brought me back after really being annoyed with the bizarre S1 ending. By keeping up the balls to the wall weirdness and introducing the other atheist ship along with the new locale with all its oddness it really shifted into overdrive. You couldn’t help but get sucked in to it. Yeah, it is something that instead of backing down from the weirdness of S1 last episode (which I did liked, but a lot of people complained about) they doubled it, and than doubled it again each episode
