I don't remember that particular moment from the episode, but I so want it to be a frying pan and it fits Macrophage's irreverence. They'd been cooking germs when RBC called them over, so yeah it's probably a frying pan.

Not sure why the show is choosing to make cancer cells sympathetic, but here we are. Also I kinda wish they had gone all out on animating cancer cell as a horrifying Akira flesh monster, but I didn't really mind that they kinda skimped all that much.

It does make a certain degree of sense from a cell's perspective, but the immune cells do remain resolutely on the side of "I wish I could help you, but I can't, so you *must* die." Sympathetic, but not tolerable all the same. Plus, seeming like any other cell is its first and foremost defense. It's often called insidious for that reason.

I thought making the cancerous cells sympathetic made a reasonable amount of sense. Like, the cells that make up, say, a bone tumor or whatever are perfectly good bone cells, right? The only thing they're doing differently from a healthy cell is dividing out of control, right?

Depends. Generally, the more mutations they accrue and the more they spread outside their original tissue, the less they resemble the cell line they originally came from. Cancers that come from tissues that can secrete hormones will also sometimes just secrete hormones all the time in an uncontrolled fashion, which can cause various metabolic problems; if you ever saw an episode of House and remember them bringing up "paraneoplastic syndrome" as one of the stock red-herring diagnoses, that's what that is.

The moral is anyone born outside of government cloning factories must be killed immediately for the greater good, as they are inherently violently antisocial. A show with this setup in pretty much any other context probably wouldn't take that side, you know?Spiritus Nox posted:I thought making the cancerous cells sympathetic made a reasonable amount of sense.

Having mutants that proliferate without control is kind of a serious problem. Even assuming they perform correctly, you don't like, want that much bone, it's called heterotopic ossification. It's not cancer but fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is usually considered pretty top tier as horrifying bodily problems go.

I think this showed how anthropomorphizing cells almost inevitably goes kind of uncomfortable places. If you imagine the body as a society, it'll pretty much have to be one that's utterly totalitarian. I notice the show managed to go through an episode and a half about cancer without really touching on the related subject of programmed cell death. A lot of this stems from the fact that the body is more like a very complex machine, and its processes are just automatically carried out by things with no ability to make decisions or think. The next episode deals with the circulatory system, which seems weirdly placed. If our protagonist is a red blood cell, that probably should have been the very first episode. It would also be a bit strange to show normal, problem-free body function after 7 episodes of a monster-of-the-week format, but I don't know what's going to happen in it yet.

First episode is usually about introducing the main characters as a whole than focus on one in particular.

I think NK and RBC Senpai would make a better couple. Pity about BLACK being in a different body because their WBC and NK would get along wonderfully.

Biochemistry is a distinct major from either of those in many schools. And yeah, anywhere in chemistry where you start caring about individual atoms deeper than "how to these molecules react," you may as well be working with a branch of particle physics.
