ANYBODY : OK, let's here your most wild-ass theory about what is going on in this series ... because it makes not a bit of sense to me.

Best I can figure out is that this entire show is a scientific experiment to find the bounds of how video is perceived and can be used to mass manipulate people.

How long will people watch something that doesn't make any sense, while claiming they like it and it does make sense to them?

What is the investment that people make when they sit down to watch a TV show, and how can you measure involvement ... by denying their brains and reward, such as understanding, learning, attaching.

It is imaginative and sometimes crazy. I still laugh when remembering how, for no reason, the blood flow reversed from Mother to the knight with a bucket on his head and he turned into Hulk with words of the sort "Ha! Now your power is mine!!!" and then died 10 seconds later.

If you stop trying to make sense of it, you will feel better.

I just watch and wait for Mother to get angry and gib people. It's all filler in between those moments.

It's quite simple, really. Shouting aliens turn out to be very expensive aliens when all sorts of boils need to be shown. Therefore death shouts become complete explosives that would require about a thousand times more energy.
The show is WEAK SAUCE and only the weak keep watching.

I stopped trying to make sense of it, and just watch to see what random shit they'll put in to fuck with us viewers.
Kinda like LOST.

[–] brux (14724) 3 years ago

Yeah, I agree, a lot like Lost, only a lot more of a production.

LMAO you're probably not wrong here. I actually watched all of the first season and understood the broad strokes(identity theft, last human baby, androids, etc...) but I really didn't understand what was happening too well. I completely gave up like 10 minutes into season 2.

They do a kind of cool job representing technology. Like technology should be ... it just works, and when you ask it to do something it's not supposed to or was not designed to, it just figures it out.

I was very sad to see Sue go, her character was awesome and she has the kind of physical beauty that didn't grab your eye right away, but a few episodes later I realizes she was really pretty.

I just watch this as "Ragnar in space" show. Don't take it too seriously. Doubt it's supposed to make sense.

[–] brux (14724) 2 years ago

Definitely cool effects though.

[–] Bloodshot77 (13762) 2 years ago

Agreed

i was thinking that when the humans went through the wormhole they all came back at different times. so there were groups of atheists and mithraics on the planet hundreds of years prior to the group in the show. that is why they find human artifacts. other than that, i had no idea what was going on with the serpent and the rest.

Kinda like BSG:

Everything is a cycle, humans evolve, evolve too much, auto destroy themselves and then some of the survivors run to another planet to start again, and then they return at the end of that cycle to the first one and so forth.

Apparently there were 2 forces on the planet that are at opposite ends: 1. A super AI, kinda like the one the earthlings had but a lot more advanced. 2) remnants of an android army (grandmother).

Both are interested in keeping the humanity alive but in different, rather contradictory, ways.

Would be nice if they wrap things somehow ..
