Having caught up on season 2, the idea that there wouldn't be a 3rd season of this bizarre, beautiful, stupid, wonderful show is so painful to me.

When that one girl referred to Father in her goodbye message as "Generic Service Model" I thought to myself,"Man I hope you get traumatized by... I don't know.... a faceless little girl robot Jason Vorhees or something...." and hark, Sol provided.

Or when Space Ragnar comes up from the mithraic pit, sees all his followers brutally slaughtered, and tiringly pulls out his gun while his face has a "not this poo poo again" impression.

I love that when he's down in the pit and one of said followers' corpses TWANNNNNGs off his cage-ride past the space-snake skeletons and further down to actual literal hell, he just kinda goes,"Huh?" and then goes back to digging out the wall of corpses to see what's behind there (the Space Pope, wanting to get high on teeth).

Just kidding, this show rules and everyone should watch it.

They should teach this in schools. Just an intense semester of watching a batshit TV show and then excitedly talking about how batshit it was.

Allow an AI to procedurally generate a third season.

There's no way it could produce anything close to the batshit insanity the human writers have come up with so far.

Gonna write a letter to HBO explaining that they're supposed to renew the good shows and cancel the bad ones, since clearly they've hosed up somewhere along the way and gotten their wires crossed on this :mad:

I haven't kept up with the Expanse thread since the show ended, is the movie confirmed or just :speculate:?

If the kids age out before they can trick a billionaire into paying for season 3, just have season 3 open with Father pulling Mother out of the full body condom and sadly letting her know that all the kids turned into Acid Mermaids..... but thankfully they still have Campion Bee.

Not Campion B.

Campion but he's a space-bee.

LOL exactly, like when Marcus started gathering a cult of followers of his own in season 2 and they all just got murked by the robot girl after like 2 episodes. I thought they were going to be major characters for the whole season.

There was the whole thing with the blonde lady seemingly looking to shift into place as Marcus' partner as Voorhees-Bot's mother lost her faith, and then bam they ALL get murdered, haha.

I started to read Gravity's Rainbow and I have no idea where it is going but it certainly feels loving weird. Hopefully not in the way Naked Lunch ended up being, that was one of the most difficult books I've ever read in my life.

Towing Jehovah is a messed up idea that God exists, but uh he just died and now there's a big humanoid corpse in the ocean and we gotta get it to the arctic so he doesn't decompose that much.

Okay it sounded weird enough, then I read the rest of the synopsis and :vince:

quote:

God is dead, and now God's two-mile-long cadaver is floating in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of Africa. As a result, the archangel Raphael hires supertanker captain Anthony Van Horne to tow the cadaver into the Arctic, with the intention of having it be preserved by the cold.

Just amazing :allears:

His mother was so disappointed in him for asking such a dumb question that she turned herself into a tree and got deep-throated by a space snake. Kid's gonna need a lot of therapy.

I'm not a comics guy or anything but I'd buy some graphic novels or whatever that continue the storyline, I am really curious where it was going.

It took some doing, but I was finally about to source the internal recordings of Aaron Guzikowski in his pitch meeting with HBO Max for season 3:

If you enjoy or even tolerate modern Star Wars or Star Trek you are not allowed to watch Raised By Wolves. Those are the rules, I didn't make them, don't blame me.

With Father TAKEN FROM US BY COWARDS, Anson Mount is the closest thing I have left to a space-dad, and I'll cling on to him for as long as I can :colbert:

I actually figured the AI had deliberately given the guy doubt/frustration to make him seem (and to be!) more conflicted, which would make him more believable to the colonists as one of them who is just trying his best to stay the course. If he ever doubts TOO much or crosses a line and decides enough is enough, he just gets brainwashed again and continues to be a valuable human representative/mouthpiece who keeps telling people to trust the process and eventually everything is going to work out fine.

We'll never know now though, because THE COWARDS WON'T GIVE US SEASON 3! :argh:

Off-topic, but I haven’t watched the last season of WW yet, does it seem to have a complete ending anyway?

Short Answer: Yes.
Longer Answer: There's a setup for a potential 5th season but it was designed to be completely open about where that might go, and if we never get another second of the show (seems likely!) we pretty much know where everything ended up.

We should forcibly remove children from their parents and have the State raise them. It's the only way to avoid fail children sullying the legacy of their parents by co-opting their achievements as their own.
