It really didn’t seem like it at first, but it’s clear now, especially after the final episode, that this is another mystery box show. Not sure I’m up for S2.

I dunno, I'm not sure if anyone is looking forward to some big answer that will explain everything and make the last season make sense. The show is insane, but I'm kinda looking forward to seeing where they're taking it.

IRC the big central mysteries that remain to be solved are the Sol voices and the nature of the space snakes. Everything else was explained already in very broad strokes. I'm sure they'll go into much more details about the relationship between the snakes and Neanderthal society or what's inside the decahedron and planet core, but their general role/nature has been explained.

i don't want answers, i want even more crazier poo poo piled on top so you forget about the earlier mysteries no amount of answers are going to satisfy the 'i need answers' people. it'll probably end up like Lost in which a lot of the answers are simply 'magic' and then people will complain about how the smoke monster doesn't make sense, except this time it's a snake monster

We should all approach this show with the same unquestioning acceptance that Father showed when Mother said "we can't throw the snake in the hole, it can fly"

It was a super hungry predator with a taste for blood (and milk), equipped with the same defensive abilities that mother has. How'd you propose they kill it?

That or Sol's really starting to get to me

Presumably they can try to do the thing with the dark photon shield that Marcus tried on Mother and then blow it up. The new atheist ship should have one they can use this season. But yeah, outside of that, the snake seems pretty much immortal. Even ramming it into the planet core didn't do poo poo.

Wasn't that because the snake protected them? IRC mother blacked out after the ship started disintegrating, so she couldn't have been responsible. I thought the implication of all the tunnels leading to the core was that the snakes loved to chill there and that they don't really care about the heat

ex post facho posted:when will exobiologists learn to stop trying to pet tentacles like puppies I always head canon the dumbass crew as being the best they can get for a long term secret mission. Like if it was public and academics can get get credit for it and write papers you'd get the best of the best storming your doors for the glory. Instead you basically get whoever needs to get off the planet in a hurry and please don't call the reference I listed 'kay. Keep in mind they don't even brief the crew until they get there. Like who'd actually sign up for that? Degenerate gamblers and dumbasses that's who.

Watched Prometheus again and it was, in fact, very enjoyable despite its faults. Looking forward to more space snek soon.

I missed the part where they mentioned the snake was super tough or hard to kill. When Mother showed the snake to Father and they both acted like it was a huge problem I just went "but just tear its little head off?"

I think they were relying on audiences being able to infer that information from the snake's skin (identical to Mother's tactical defence skin) and its flight powers, but that clearly wasn't well communicated to a lot of the audience.

Just finished watching and I can't stop thinking about this milky rear end show. I have some thoughts about the plots and themes but it all seems kinda silly when I put it in words, especially so early in this (hopefully) 4-5 season series. The images and lyrics of the opening titles kinda puts it all in perspective. Just incredible longing by all for connection and meaning, against the inevitable destruction and violence they'll sow and then reap. I'm quite satisfied with what's left mysterious so far in the mythos, because the themes of family struggle and belief show through quite saliently. I was so giddy during the  moments in E9/E10. I loving love that silicon-carbon space lamprey demi-god. The sound design around that thing gives me goosebumps.

Also, I hope HBO diverts funding from that Targaryen spinoff to this, cause this show is going to take off like GOT did in a couple seasons if it keeps up.

I don't think there is any way this show will ever have the mainstream appeal of Game of Thrones, even if I wish it did. It's in season 1 and its already too weird for a lot of people and tends to set the "I want answers!" people into rage mode lol. Although afaik it is fairly popular and is at the very least getting season 2 and hopefully beyond.

I'm not sure how well received it was. At the time it feels like people were very critical of how absurd it became, and how annoying kids are, and how it raised way more questions than it answered as things progressed. I remember having my appreciation qualified by the "issues" the show had. But thinking back now my general impression is that it was kind of amazing. It was not what I was expecting at all, but it has a really amazing atmosphere and I can't wait to see more.

Yeah, when I skimmed through some posts before watching I got the impression that there were lulls, but my SO and I never experienced that. We watched the poo poo out of it whenever we could so it only took a couple weekends. I think the pacing was spot on. I know he'd never do it nor would stars ever align to make it come true, but I feel like David Lynch would be perfect to direct an episode.

The Mithraics got it wrong the whole time. They shouldn't be nourishing themselves with milk, they need to be making GBS threads themselves for Sol with laxative.
