Campion isn't the chosen boy, he's going to be the religions false prophet Satan allegory. Paul is the orphaned child messiah. Campion probably put those kids up to playing with the "snowballs".

Campion, Paul and the IQ of 205 kid all need to step on landmines followed by nobody turning their heads or ever mentioning them again. Make it a plot point about how the universe is uncaring or something.

Postmodernity means the exhilarating freedom to pursue anything, yet mind-boggling uncertainty as to what is worth pursuing and in the name of what one should pursue it.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Watched the newest episodes and things just got real interesting. I have no idea what could even begin to happen next.

Only 3 episodes left this season.

Edit: Ragnar is such a smug bastard. On Vikings and now on this. I mean, goddamn.

It’s a weird concept when you think about the fact that they both essentially spend the entire series naked

Ep7: I wonder what's whispering to Campion. I assume it's the same things that are also doing it to Marcus even though their voices are different.

Mother may be tied up, but she is still inflicting massive damage with her vocal abilities :v:

Big twist, if true, at the end of ep 7. I don't expect all of this to be wrapped up in the final episode next week so I hope it gets renewed.

She still had her necromancer eyes in at the time so I assume that included her damage shield(like being able to shrug off bullets) or whatever.

Also did the rapist helmet guy die? I don't think we saw him again after that scene.

It's really dumb all of the defensive systems on the necro are tied to the eyes. What is this a 80s video game where all you have to do is destroy the exposed core?

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
So is the rapist the 205 IQ kid’s dad? The girl (Tempest?) said that her rapist was high up there in command and in one of the earlier episodes the 205 IQ kid said something like “don’t you know who my father is” and she responded affirmatively with disgust. Also she seems to really not like that guy for reasons unspecified.

Also am I understanding correctly that these people all aged 13 years in a simulation, learning and otherwise living life, developing and growing? So they really are 25 year olds stuck in a 12 year old body? That’s really weird and uncomfortable to think about.

Right now it is very clear that the voices and 'hallucinations' are echos of human life energy which has been captured by the electromagnet fields on this planet, sustained by the multiple moons, and boosted by the thermosciencewords of the shafts into the Space Morlock Kingdom. These electro thermo magnetic fields have shaken up Mother's circuits so she is developing actual human emotions or maybe just absorbing echos of the humans and integrating things into her own blah blah. The girl who fell down the shaft as a kid (Tally), was actually made sensitive to these energies when the radioactive space potato poisoning triggered some latent gene and she has become one of the Space Morlock's but has a hunch that there's more to it. It turns out that the Morlocks which have been hunted for their flesh are like worker ants, who collect nutrients for the sake of their hive rulers which are Super Enlightened Space Eloi that have the exact same prophecy as the Mithraic cult. Tempest gets killed, but the baby is far enough along to be saved, and he turns out to be the prophecized Messiah figure but we don't find that out until S6E7. Anyways, after a 13-year time jump, Tempest's son ends up marrying Tally, who has climbed the ranks within the Space Eloi Order and her growing psionic skills help the colony fight off a landing party of fascists arriving from Earth super late.

Yeah that's what I gathered too, which makes it seem weird that they all act their age. The little girl still acts like shes 5 but I guess she's like 19?
