I was wondering how they made Father/Mother’s suits seamless. Do they shoot with suits with back or front openings depending on the shot to hide them or are they just insanely stretchy rubbery stuff they use talc to get in?? They definitely look like what androids would wear, though.

drat that was a great couple episodes. I really get a similar vibe to some of the Arthur C Clarke stuff like the Rama books with alien ecologies and inscrutable intelligences. Plus I really like the intro, both the music and the animations, I don't feel the need to skip it at all. So many interesting things are getting set up, and the back story reveal was really something. Mother's actress absolutely killed it, daymn.

I think they could probably handwave the genetics stuff away by having special designer embryos that don't carry regressive genes or something perhaps? I dunno, not a geneticist.. Future science magic, basically. Plus having only 2 androids to raise that many kids would be basically impossible as they are 1 for 6 already

I love this show and don’t get the complaints about the kids. Have you been around kids? They are pretty goddamn annoying most of the time, especially boys of campion’s age. Source: I have a boy campion’s age. I’m just thankful campion isn’t rambling along about fortnite or whatever his friends are into. Him being a pissy bitch about getting logic puzzle owned was so on brand for boys who think they are smart was great. That was totally me, along with 95%+ of guys. The effects for mother getting awakened with the dirt rising and all that was cool as hell. But really thinking about it, what kind of horrifying existence would it be if Marcus, Sue and Paul flew off in the lander to the tropics. Just the 3 of them, with eventually Paul being alone after they kick off. Yikes.

I AM GRANDO posted:It seems pretty clear that almost everything was. The shape of the larger story isn’t that crazy: the crazy is all in the presentation and characters, and in how the status quo shifts radically ever 2.5 episodes. Yeah I'm an optimist and believe there was a plan, and I'd like to see it. Just too often someone snarks and compares something with a long form ambition to "Lost", but doing that is cliché now.

I AM GRANDO posted:It’s an interesting detail because he was extremely cynical about the leadership and purpose of the atheist faction, to the point where Sue is about to punch him when he tells her how all the generals back on Earth were selfish and cowardly, and he resented the AI really openly. I wouldn’t think an AI would want to reprogram a guy to have those traits, unless they were what the AI wanted to eradicate and could only manage imperfectly with the programming it could manage. Yeah he seemed really conflicted and then after the AI gets shut down by Mother he just got broken. I feel like he could have teamed up with Lucius for adventures.

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. Also the show has probably one of the best opening credits sequence and music, it’s so great.

Especially weird that a frickin star wars TV show is actually excellent viewing, I got convinced by a friend to watch Andor after baking on all things marvel/star wars. It's some great stuff, so I assume Disney will kill it.

Khanstant posted:I broke up with Star Wars but it autoplayed an episode on Hulu and I didn't get drawn in, but it looked nice. I do think it'll get killed cause it sounded expensive and they dug some old corpse out of the ground to be CEO again and I think he was eye poppin at how much all the shows cost to make. It's a grower of a show imo, and does a nice job weaving some separate plot lines together. It is somewhat bounded though because you know what the final outcome is anyway. If you saw Rogue One that is.

Pretty much every episode after about the 4th in Andor when it ends I go "drat, I can't believe that show is star wars", lol. I have a couple to go. I would really like some more weird sci fi stuff like RbW though, just get really nuts with it.

I need to know if Dark likers also like 1899 so I can judge the quality of their opinions. Haven't watched 1899 so can't say! Now that I look at it I'm interested though, and it seems to get positive reviews generally.. Their brand of show may just not be your thing.

Yeah I had read the Foundation books ages ago and the show is only related to it in a couple high level concepts and characters like Hari Seldon and that's basically it. Even the emperor stuff has been changed pretty drastically. I like the show though, tbh the books would be almost impossible to adapt in an interesting way as a lot of it was just people arguing in meeting rooms. (so maybe something like Shin Godzilla). The Lee Pace bits are definitely the best, then the Jared Harris and then the rest is ok.

Eiba posted:I hear Dark has a better buildup or whatever, but does it build up to that kind of over the top emotional torture porn, or like, something actually interesting to watch? I have a very low torture show threshold and it didn’t get hit by Dark, it’s a bit heavy at times but it wasn’t unrelenting misery or anything. I found the ending to be pretty positive overall too despite a lot of stuff.
