Space Epstein didn’t kill himself. Tossing the Android kill switch head did it.

redreader posted: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? Why do you think followers of Mithras would use crucifixes? Think about where those come from. Edit: the credits specifically name Atheist Soldiers 1,2 and 3. They atheists.

They don't use crucifixes, it ain't a crucifix if Christ ain't on it. The cross on the ark doesn't look at all like the Christian cross, it has an extra bar edit: Oh I misread, I think we're in agreement acksplode fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Oct 6, 2020 |

Ep10 title: In the Beginning I wonder if going through the core also put them back in time? And that snek is actually the proto snek? Obv a blatant paradox.

I'm still thinking about Mother and Father reconciling by trying to destroy the snake child in the absolute most ridiculous way possible, with absolutely zero thought for their companions maybe possibly needing the lander.

They had guns and mother and father knew that. They could have blasted the snek in the head while mother and father held it down.

I thought sometimes it was dust or ash, but I also live in northern California so I often thought I was looking through a window at some local weirdos. On Snake vs Lander, Father also seemed pretty proficient at axes which seem like they would be very effective against a tube-shaped critter.

They should have simply inserted a tube into the snake, allowing it to form a closed loop with Mother.

I just remembered that the stuff Campion gives to the kids to energize them was called Serpent Heart. I'm sure mother and father named it, and they probably found it growing near the snake bones. Mother's blood powered up dark souls rapist when she had was caring the snake child.

Now that I've had time to think about the show I realized I was wrong about some stuff and totally mischaracterized the show. I thought it was a silly incomprehensible fever dream of a show with a Dark Souls rapist, but I now realize it was a silly incomprehensible fever dream of a show with a Bloodborne rapist. Sorry for my mistake.

My take on the plot is that Mother, Father and the Mithraics took off from earth at roughly the same time. But the earth was not destroyed, instead the war finished and in the 600 odd years since the humans have had time to come up with a FTL tech and go to k22b and actually land earlier than the characters from this story. However the spess snek god/planet doesn't like humans and has decided to 'devolve' the humans and maybe use them as breeding chambers, ergo the current plot. I predict that the rest of the show will mainly be about Mithraics/atheist/spess snake conflict, as to who can control the planet. With human colonizers from earth slowly dribbling in and getting slaughtered. And assuming stuff from the comic has to be spoilers, and is cannon: Necromancers are basically shown to be just tech nicked from a defeated atheist nation, not evidence that k22b sent them.

This show is Ridley Scott turned up to 11 in all the good and bad ways. Milk androids, existential/religion themes, body horror, excruciating birthing scenes. The plot just serves to get us from a to b, with little regard for character motivation. It's dumb and rough, yet extremely entertaining. Shove more of it down my throat like the Mithraist did to Spaceragnar with Mother's eyeballs.

frogbs posted:Yes, you’re correct, I believe another poster pointed out that it’s actually a “spess snek”. The only thing that can combat our new Lord and Master is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeCfod1XT7E Vintersorg posted:It's not a cross btw. Reminds me a bit of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Lorraine or some of the others on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_cross_variants Makes me wonder if that symbol was shared with an obscure christian religion or just coincidence? I mean it COULD be just minor markings on a ship but since this show seems to go wholeheartedly into overt symbolism I doubt it. As far as something "close" that is math or science based the first thing I thought of was this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus%E2%80%93minus_sign Mankind as a whole like symbols and I can imagine the atheists would have something math or science based to further separate themselves from the symbols born out of mythology. I mean who really knows but I have a weird love for propaganda, especially old Soviet propaganda, and would love to see more of old Earth and its history. I think I remember the show said that the Necromancer bots were created by the Sol forces using old alien tech. Were the Necromancers the main reason the Mithrans were winning? I mean if you can call killing the earth in the process winning.

The symbol on the ship kinda sorta looks like a crusades cross* in that the tines are slightly enlarged at the ends, like a sword hilt. That, plus having seen the spray paint atheist logo earlier (@ except with a capital A) made me think it was something else. *I don't know what else to call what I'm thinking of. I largely had fun with the show but if I had to point at something for why I was dissatisfied it would be that the credits sequence and first couple episodes pointed at a very different show than what we got, and then in every episode the credits kept pointing at that other show well beyond the breaking point. It's in some ways like the intro to the game Destiny: it takes itself pretty seriously in delivering a somewhat specific scifi tone and then rapidly turns into a ridiculous game about literal space wizards fighting space demons on a space crusade (no space snakes I think), and planetary travel is little more than a space horse ride to the next space kingdom. Show me my radio oblisks dammit!

Some season 2 plot detailed got released https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/raised-wolves-showrunner-teases-season-2-details-1684116 Sol doesn't seem to able to communicate with just anyone. Maybe it's proximity based? Also, earth and humans there are still alive and so are the necromancers

I'm surprised none of the "muh plot hole" nerds complaining about what is possible managed to get relativity right. If 13 years passed for the people going in the ship, then it means they were close to the speed of light, but not as fast or faster than light... If they were going at light speed, then it would not have been 13 years, but instant. They would have to be going less than the speed of light to experience 13 years while travelling so that someone from Earth's perspective would experience as millions of years (distance to kepler in ly is only 638 so they would have to be going way slower than light) due to time dilation. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. edit - thought kepler was further away, so even more applicable. ogarza fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Oct 8, 2020 |

Kepler 22 is 638 ly away, not millions. Any manned interstellar travel at any speed might as well be magic, anyone that's gonna bother would have given up on sci-fi long ago.
