Raised by Wolves centers around "two androids — Father and Mother — tasked with raising human children on Kepler-22b after the Earth was destroyed by a great war. As the burgeoning colony of humans threatens to be torn apart by religious differences, the androids learn that controlling the beliefs of humans is a treacherous and difficult task.
Use spoiler tags for the time being - in two weeks, free discussion. Gotta consider the binge crowd ofc
edit: lol reilo pls let me adjust how images get cropped one day thnx
Great show. Didn't know where they could go with it after episode 1, but it has been a hell of a ride.
Well I guess we have a thread now. Episode 10 was an insane ride. There was so much going on. I'll wait until a few of you have watched it before I go into it.
I'm gonna try and finish the season up tonight.
Been one hell of a ride so far. Probably the best science fiction TV I've seen in years... BSG, DS9, Expanse, etc just not running with it at all.

I’ll watch 10 tonight. Agreed it has the potential to be a GOaT 🐐 sci fi
The themes it plays on are meaty as fuck. Love it.

By Fenderputty Go To PostYo so like … yeahYea man just let it sit for a while. We all just flabbergasted.
I’m not even sure where to start
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm going to watch S2. That ending was wild. I started the show expecting to find stupid Alien connections because it's Ridley Scott. What I got with the finale was a Lost-esque curveball that is nothing I'm interested in.
Timetravel? Imagery reminding me of Loki and the birth of the world serpent. A planet core you can just travel through and come out on the other side? More humans that are living on the other side of theisland planet."Knock Knock?"
" Who's there?"
"Immoutta"
"Immoutta who?"
"Immouttahere cuz this shit ain't worth my time"

She really told Father it was an entanglement lmao

Father is the best character in the show. Mother is many things - but to him, she is a trifling harlot.
That scene were he works out his to care for his children knowing his feelings for mother. Whew
Regarding the giant flying worm those big bones laying around had to mean something.
So does that mean Marcus Is devolving?
I loved the “need to believe in something” Themes. Mother ends up being bitten by this as she is so sure her creator placed a baby in her. She even flaunts this surety in a previous episode. making fun of humans’ faith in a creator since she met and knows hers.

Caught up with the latest episode so I can finally read and post in this thread.
My first contribution is expressing disgust at this show not being available in 4K HDR. HBO Max is a disgrace.

Lack of 4K is wack. Finished ep 5 and the show is a solid 7/10 for me so far. They really should have left some seeds to grow food for Father/Mother along with all those embryos...
By Fenderputty Go To PostI’m itching for some spoiler discussionI'm legit gonna rewatch the season soon. Forgive me
By Smokey Go To PostThink I'm on ep 4
Show is WEIRD AF
You don’t even know
By DY_nasty Go To PostI'm legit gonna rewatch the season soon. Forgive me

episode 2
this necromancer mode is the cheapest, goofiest looking shit i cant.
might just skip to episode 10 and pretend to have watched the rest.

Ok so thoughts on how / who impregnated mother with a fucking alien worm? A species that clearly dominated the planet at one point. I feel like it has to do with her time in the Matrix like sleep machine. That’s definitely where she got her “faith” in her creator.
What’s up with the rock paintings? I’ve read some conflicting theories
Things can devolve? There’s a devolved humanoid specifies on the planet? Which answered one question. I suppose but ...
Is Marcus devolving? Are his hallucinations related to the others where we see little dead girl? Are they all devolving?
Where the fuck was Paul at the end? He was absent from the scene. They didn’t kill the kid after he went stupid did they?

I don't even think that snake and the other snakes are identical. The jaw structure was different and that bitch was flying, not subterranean like the others. It's likely OG Campion sent several pods/groups to that planet over a period of time. The first one with a necromancer though? Maybe.
The rock paintings kinda build on that too. Remember the scavenger? Whoever that is has maintained enough of themselves to not turn into the mindless aliens they've been eating or the weird ass ghost things. Their den had maps, they've left trinkets like metal cards, and they've aggressively tracked both the catholics and the androids. If there's any time fukkery at all in this show - that thing is Paul. If not, they're probably directly tied to OG Campion.
Marcus isn't devolving. Assuming all android materials create some sort of reaction to the fuel-blood event with the rapist - he's probably on some other shit considering he's got the damn dark photon necromancer eyes in his system. On top of going legit insane.
The faith discussion regarding mother is awesome. She's dreamed of, known, and been betrayed by her creator in the span of a few days when humanity itself has just started to reach the last part. Her split there is a trek in itself. She really thought she'd been given the gift of creation herself after damn near forcing the other girl to suicide for not embracing conception despite rape. So to go through hell to see it come to fruition through horrific, grotesque birth of the most inhuman thing they've encountered? Thanks, God, I hate it.

Maybe they aren’t identical, which would seemingly make sense if a part of the worms genetic material comes from humans. Maybe the whole worm fetus was implanted? I have no clue how they answer the who’s and hows if that, unless as you said the OG campion had something to go with it .
The paintings being painted by the scavanger, which is a devolved something OG campion also sent would fit with your thoughts, but then I wonder why you’re so quick to dismiss Marcus (or anyone having hallucinations, devolving). It seems like devolution or is almost built into the planet somehow. I don’t like the time Fuckery theories BTW, but Paul being the scavanger is interesting
Like you, even with all these cool plots and weird sci fi shit going on, my favorite aspects of show are the themes playing out. The Androids going through human experiences and the need or lack of need for faith in a creator. Seriously loved the scene where father is working though caring for the kids when he can’t stand to be around mother. Her trip through knowing her creator was wild and she only ended up thinking it was all BS in the end and having the same questions we the viewers have

This show needs some action producers. The last episode where mother turns around, stabs and kills the pometheus looking devolving dude like whatever and Marcus going John Wick against the 4 atheists solders was poorly done.
OG Campion Programmed it onto Father but up into that point I never got the impression that he had a love interest in Mother at all. It always seemed to be about the mission and doing what’s in the best interest of the kids. So for him to be upset about her having virtual sex in the simulation seemed odd to me. I guess I liked that side of Father who was strong, resourceful and humorous with the group and wished they (the writers) left those other emotions to the plebs.

They’re programmed to not just take care of the kids, but each other. Father found out mother was ignoring both of those duties to go digitally fuck OG campion.
You would also have to assume their programming isn’t capable of adapting and learning some, which doesn't seem to the the case. Father experiments with jokes and mother is getting lost in finding her creators. They appear capable of some growth in this regard

I will stay with you because of the kids - on the condition that I wipe my memory every day :wow:
"I didn't even get to the distressing part yet"
Mother gotta make up for this in D2 lol

I think it could fly because it was the first one from it's kind with a necromancer. I read somewhere that people were hearing the noise she made when it was flying. I think whatever the virus was or the being on the planet is that can get in people's minds has the power to do it.
Also, regarding the paintings - that's probably something learned straight from the androids and not the space catholics. Mother was painting the same sort of way (consciously and unconsciously).
I'm not sure exactly where Sol comes to play in everything, but he's got a pretty solid track record of making everyone he reaches do crazy shit.

Yeah that’s what I was trying to imply earlier. The worm is different than the bones because it was born from mother
