People need to 1) recognize this wasn't written by Ridley Scott, or his failson 2) learn to be able to say they liked something without wrapping it in thousand qualifiers

General Battuta posted:It's terrible, but insane. I mean it's absolutely crammed with I'd have liked the show a lot more if it had been crammed with scenes like that, instead of many scenes of characters listening to whispers that cause them to take sudden swerve actions for largely pointless story purposes. They had a good 4-5 episodes (maybe just barely 6 if I'm being really generous) of Moebius comic scenes to make a show out of and then padded the rest with people going crazy largely for the sake of having something to do.

Mother needs blood so she plugs herself into a rapist wearing a Dark Souls NPC helmet but the rapist somehow reverses the flow and sucks out mother's milk which gives him super strength and a passing spaceship scans him and says "That's weird that guy has unusually high power levels" but then someone steals the android head from his backpack and throws it off a cliff so his head implodes!!!

I started checking out when the robot got horny, but I felt a little better after she realized she hosed up. Hopefully the writing gets better next season, as is custom for all HBO productions.

Just binged the show and the thread and enjoyed it, I don't think I had as much time to process it as thoughtfully as some of y'all watching week to week. lol there is a serious love hate relationship going on in this thread. The only thing I have to add that I didn't see in the thread (I might've missed it) was at some point Mary/Sue reacts to something by saying "Jesus Christ" and I thought that was pretty funny.

Whose ark was that right at the end? It had crosses on it so I assumed it was another theist arc, out of the blue? Also wtf was up with the people who attacked Markus then... put an eyeball in his mouth? And he vomited up android milk? Then his veins were all black and he was tripping balls but also got an extra 20 levels of power?

It's apparently filmed in Somerset West, which is near Cape Town. Explains why some of the actors are South African (the Medic Robot had an extremely South African accent). Cool to see, I have a friend who works in the film industry there but she didn't work on this one.

redreader posted:Then his veins were all black and he was tripping balls but also got an extra 20 levels of power? Whatever is powering necromancers is some ultra advanced alien energy source and the necromancer milk blood contains that technology and can be used by humans (see Campion, Space Rapists, snake baby, Space Ragnar, etc.) My guess would be it's nanomachines using that alien energy source. Apparently, the lander is capable of detecting that energy source from a distance(similar to how you can use a geiger counter to detect radioactive materials from a distance) so that's where that power level stuff comes from. Also, Mother seems to have some kind of grey goo nano replicator in her womb and that's how she was able to synthesize nutrients for the fetuses and make space snek cells from scratch with just a blueprint. Her nano technology is directly compatible with living tissue.

Well I know South Africa has gotten popular over the few years due to the lower production costs and also lots of interesting shooting locations which are short drive from the main cities like Cape Town.

I rewatched Prometheus last night for the first time since 2012, and wow it's much better as a Raised by Wolves thematic cousin rather than an Alien prequel. The unknowability of the Engineers and their motives and the sly biblical references were more intriguing than frustrating. I wish it had gotten a real sequel rather than getting plugged back into the Alien franchise. But I guess that's kinda what we got here so I can't complain too much.

Yeah, Prometheus was a good movie and I hope it gets fully rehabilitated at some point. Most of the complaints about it were people seeing imaginary plot holes or wanted it to be something that it was not trying to be or spend half of the movie browsing on the phone and then complained how nothing made sense

ex post facho posted:when will exobiologists learn to stop trying to pet tentacles like puppies Never. Like a space snake to milk, the exobiologist must pet all alien life forms. But also never check out alien corpses as those are icky. veni veni veni posted:I need to watch it again. I liked it allright but I think I went in the first time with too much expectations about it being an Alien prequel. I know I took the piss too much before and joked around but please have lowered expectations when watching Prometheus. Smoking a bowl or drinking a few pints helps make it more enjoyable. I will say I really loved Micheal Fassbender in his role. He was a joy to watch the entire movie. Also Idris Elba could be fun in anything and he's enjoyable here.

A lot of stuff was off about prometheus, but it was still hugely enjoyable. Much like this show. Sure, a ton of stuff is dumb, but I’m not asking for perfection, I’m asking for entertainment. Which this delivers.

Fassbot was great. In covenant too. Prometheus needed just a wee bit more runtime. And Covenant should have been what it was supposed to be when they planned it during prometheus. I honestly want to see more engineers and poo poo than space snek and sol religion.
