I just finished season 2 the other night. I haven't read this thread yet, but there are several questions I have.

1. What are you asses doing to make sure there's a season 3?

2. If the answer is "nothing," is anyone else doing something to get it picked back up by HBO or another network?

3. How the gently caress did mother get impregnated with the giant snake fetus? The simulation impregnated her? How? How is it half-organic? Did the real Campion intend for this thing to emerge?

Yall talk like Sol is real instead of just an imaginary figurehead for their superstition, which is clearly the case.

The show has shown time and time again that Marcus is suffering from psychosis, whatever the cause. Signal is probably alien or just let by the civilization that existed on the planet before.

Sol is bullshit. The religious people have been wrong at every step of the way. There remains to be a scientific explanation and the fall for the god of the gaps argument (because they dumb)

Sol is real insofar as it is a star at the center of the Solar System.

Sol is not a god and is not the source of that signal. It has a scientific explanation behind it, just like everything else has so far.

Sol is a god in the material sense. He's an incredibly powerful being around which a religion was formed. He can penetrate people's minds, coerce them telepathically, and perform miracles and fulfil prophecies (within the pre-defined understanding of what those miracles and prophecies should be). He operates in means beyond human comprehension. He, to all intents and purposes, fulfils the definition of a god, because they're the being who wrote the definition in the first place. (A "self-fulfilling prophecy", if you will.)

He's not a god in the sense that he transcends material science, sure. But to all intents and purposes, he's a loving god.

Explain milksnek using real world science.

No, as far as the series is concerned, he's a purely sociological phenomena derived from the limited & biased brains of humans. Sol isn't a character in the show. The human characters were hallucinating or being affected by some electromagnetic signal that made them psychotic.

the writers have specifically stated that Sol is at the center of the planet

honestly have no idea how you managed to watch both seasons and think Sol isn't a real thing. i guess lucius just magically knew to steal the helmet artifact and do that whole ritual with marcus

yea something is making them psychotic

prob the instability of the planet's core or some poo poo that causes the aggressive EM field is radiating their brains

Sol is the supercomputer that controlled the Old Civilization's society gained sentience and run amok. It's headquartered in the center of the planet for the unlimited energy source from the planet's core. Captain Picard could beam down to the core and shut it all down with simple LOGIC and REASONING, but these primitive Earth humans/androids are not so sophisticated so we got all these problems.

ok so the giant ball of fire and death (the core) is actually a supercomputer?

I'm not trolling, Sol doesn't exist and is a bunch of bullshit. Folie a deux happens all the time. I mean look at Qanon.

I'm sorry you're not well-versed enough to realize how ignorant or desperate said characters are to depend on a magic sky daddy. Everything so far has had a scientific explanation.

Keep getting emotionally angry and posting about it though -- that always helps!

The Expanse is the poo poo. They need to hurry up and get HBO to make the last three books into 5 hour miniseries or some poo poo (15 hours overall).

I've been watching "Dark" on Netflix. It's some great sci-fi, but I'm halfway through season 3, so I don't know how it ends.

German language show though, so you gotta roll with subtitles.

Every time I have seen my parents they ask me if I have watched Dark yet. I started it a couple times but I only remember like 8 words in german from highschool and I just don't look at a show enough while it's on to do subtitles.

It has an English dub for you insane illiterate people who enjoy the lips not being synced.
