The Fly, which we can only 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.920 assume as a reference to the classic fifties B movie 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.160 horror y icon of cinema, The Fly, and It's later, 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:36.280 you know Lima imagining with Jeff we open in the lab. 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.400 The eye in the sheep is very watchful, watching everything, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:46.559 watching Wendy with determination, watching everything. We hear a boy 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.800 genius doing more podcasts, recording bro. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.480 Just like somebody takes somebody take the ability to press, 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.720 like you know, he's you know, he's like broadcasting it 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.440 right to everyone in the fucking island. I'm like, somebody 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:01.920 download it, somebody. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.200 I think if you don't download it immediately to your 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.320 podcast player and play it. Like he gets the stat 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.240 and he's like, oh okay, Yeah. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.560 I like that. He's like he's got like screen time, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.640 but for his podcast where he's like, how long did 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.880 they listen for it? Did they listen to the whole thing? 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:25.799 I like that they are choosing creepier and creepier quotes 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.959 as the season goes on. They're doing a good job 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.400 finding the most disturbing parts of I want them. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.480 I want them to cut to like the other angle 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.320 or the two shots, so that we see like Adam 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.239 with a backwards baseball cap sitting there being like, Wow, 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:56.239 that's fucking crazy, yo, after reads some passage of type ship. 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.240 Yeah, who's this special? 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:04.560 Guess? 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.320 This week on Netherland Island. Don't disagree with them, don't 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:09.640 tell me a word wrong. 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.919 Wendy, meanwhile, is in gristener her language lessons with Baby's anomorph. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.600 It kind of strikes out at her through the glass, 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.880 but that doesn't bother her that much. And the glass 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:25.000 is clearly acid resistant and super strong. The eggs and 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.359 all the other creatures, they're all there in the cells, 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.000 and Kersh and Hermit are also there on the other 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.120 side of the glass watching this language learning seminar, and 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:41.720 of course Bro Hermit is like, hey, just quick update, 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.839 We're this is all safe, right, Yeah, they put it out. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.960 She's safe in there, the bugs, all that stuff. He 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.880 also wants to know from Kersh about Wendy's maintenance, like 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.280 let's say, you know, when does her battery run out? 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.520 Like when, how would I say to tears like curshs, 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.000 Like listen, don't fucking worry about it. Here's why you 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.880 don't need to worry about it. One, you're like an aunt, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.960 and it would be like are you gonna do Yeah, 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.760 it's like an aunt asking like how do I build 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.720 a gaming PC? Like you don't know what you're doing? 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.480 And two boy genius is never gonna let you have her, 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:25.119 and that's it. And but he and you know, Joe 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.880 is like, yeah, but I care about her. I want 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.080 her every good life. He's like, listen, considering Wendy's value 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.920 both in dollars and her potential to invent, just put 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.040 it out of your mind that you will ever, ever, 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:42.279 ever have like a familial type relationship with her here 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.520 or anywhere else. 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.600 This is such an interesting moment for the two of 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.200 these people. One hermit, you got a corporate espionage better 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:52.320 you be out here asking. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.720 About so bad. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.039 I was like, you, it's a little too dilied for me. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.360 Like you have been a little bit like you. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.000 You've seen some of the world. Presumably you like watch 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.400 your sister. You should be a little hardened. I think 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.320 by some of the encounters and experiences we know that 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:11.000 he's had it. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.680 Also, I feel like my guy is not doing a 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:20.520 great job of like being realistic about where he stands 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.359 in the pecking order. Like a few days ago, you 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.440 were literally talking to like a faceless robot, and now 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.600 you're trying to work out how to you know, charge 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:34.800 your hyper intelligent sister bot at one of the biggest, 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.200 most secret places in the world. I don't know. I 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.800 just I feel like he's not being very sensible. 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.440 I agree with both of you. I do think it 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.839 is a little played up. 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:48.440 Okay, Can I ask you guys a question about Alex Luthor. 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.080 Does he have the juice for Hermit or is it 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.560 too much of like an introverted portrayal, because I think 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.919 there's been quite a lot of conversation about Hermit's impact. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:00.960 I think he has the juice. I think that the 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:05.479 issue is to Joe Well's point, he has written so 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:13.040 White Knight like good guy that it's almost unbelievable. Like again, 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.760 he was part of this highly militarized search and rescue 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:23.359 Prodigy team that carries assault rifles into you know, emergency 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:29.160 zones to rescue people. He's not the idea that he's like, 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.240 Oh golly, g do you think I'd be able to 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.200 have a relationship with my billion dollar robots? Like come on, 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.839 come on. It just does stretch credulity a little bit. 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:40.320 Yeah, I think he's going to be being a bit 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.080 more stealthy, a bit more on kind of like this 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.640 would be a plan why you'd have to essentially kidnap 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:51.000 her from the island and then learn how to cyber 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:55.440 hacker via you know, underground kind of hacking communities. I 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:56.120 don't think. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.800 You have to have nineteen steps ahead. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:06.320 I also feel like, have Hermit and Wendy ever had 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.440 a fight before, like as brother and sister? Like, I'm 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.760 just this relationship is underwritten. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:12.160 I don't. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.640 I don't think it's any of the performer's faults. I 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.000 just feel like, yeah, you know, given their age difference, 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.160 and you know, she was. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.840 Like approaching preteen right when she transferred. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.720 So I just feel like there's not enough like tension 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.880 or fusion between those two characters. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:31.360 And I also just feel. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.720 Like there is no emotional friction that you feel like 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.240 that would be well between I think I think this 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.640 is again excellent show, but I think this is kind 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.960 of what this show is built on, is like they takes. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:51.640 You're taking these kind of archetypical relationship sibling, boss, lieutenant, 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.400 right hand man, and you're kind of letting those do 0:07:55.600 --> 0:08:01.440 a lot of the character and it usually works Elsewhere. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.720 Adam aka Lobot, Arthur and Dame are looking over nibs. 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.200 Arthur and Dame are like, we're not sure what was wrong, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.520 but we think it was because she was had a 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.600 lot of significant trauma as a child, and that when 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.320 we you know, we did have those concerns when we 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.960 did the transfer, and we thought we had tweaked whatever 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.760 the programming enough to kind of adjust for that baseline 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.720 of trauma, but clearly it didn't. It didn't work, and 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.679 maybe given enough time with therapy, some kind of they 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:38.160 have some kind of synth therapy I guess talk therapy 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.680 that they would go through with these beings. Dame wants 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.079 to let that play out. Adam says, no, just basically 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.680 like hold down the power button for ten seconds, let's 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.760 factory reset and just kind of clear it all out, 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.800 reset her to pre the date that she started malfunctioning, 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.600 and then we're and then that's it. Dame and Arthur 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.360 initially don't want to. Arthur really doesn't want to, and 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.439 Adam is like, I don't give a fuck because the 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.440 Prodigy showcase for investors and consumers coming up in three weeks. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.679 She needs to be up on that stage doing handstands 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.880 and saying I love boy genius, and that's it. Arthur 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.600 flat out refuses to do it. Dame's like, well, I'll 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.360 do it alone. And then Adam's like, great, Arthur, you're fired. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.880 You have till eod to get off the fucking island. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.959 If you're here after dark, maybe you get shot. We'll see. 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:31.560 This throple of pain. This child just like jump like, hey, 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.760 you're gonna reform. She's like, I'll capitulate to anything. Where's 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:35.520 your backbone? 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:41.760 Man? Like I need? I will say, like, I think 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.160 that this is a good I actually think this is 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:51.640 a great example of how people interact with power. There's 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.280 because there's there's two there's two philosophies, right, There's like, 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.240 that's it, I'm not going to participate in this, and 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.920 then there's well, couldn't I theoretically do more good from inside? 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:03.160 Like? 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.240 Am I not the mediating force here? Like I'm the 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:12.920 one that's making it marginally better by being inside, and 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.080 therefore if I cooperate a little, I can also make 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.480 it a little better. And I'm not saying that either 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.000 right correct in every situation, but it's certainly like it's 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.520 certainly looking sideways at Dame. I think although she may 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.599 have a point, right, she may. I think there's a 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.839 world in which you could see where she's coming from. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.160 I disagree, but like I get it again. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:38.040 We're gonna end up asking questions about how much people 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.840 think things through in this episode, because there are choices 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.160 that even if you even if you want Yeah, it's 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.640 truly it's a bad decision bonanza this week on Alath, Like, 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.880 I think that if you were going to make the 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.440 choice to do this to Nibs, then there are things 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.000 that you need to put in place to make sure 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.720 that the things that happen in this episode do not happen. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:03.720 And they did not put them into place. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.360 I mean I think that. Yeah. So Wendy leaves the lab, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.559 she runs into her brother. She's very stoked at the 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.000 language lessons and says, I'm getting better at speaking to 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.880 the alien. It's hard trilling my rs is a little weird, 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:21.120 but I'm getting better at it. And then Joe was like, okay, 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:27.160 but like they're basically killer parasites, Like they just want 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.439 to maybe you don't need to play eggs in our 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.800 chest and kill us. And then like that's it, you know, 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.720 like we have they're not like us, like we have community. 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.720 They're just like want to kill us and eat us 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.200 and face on this. And Wendy's like, and it's clear 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:47.120 that Wendy is not. While she agrees that the creatures 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:51.360 are being studied and did not have agency in what 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.240 is happening to them, she also clearly is not rational 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:58.079 about this. Loves the zenomorph basically like a puppy already 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.840 at this point, and it says flat out, well, this 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.040 one can be good. 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.320 I love that line too, because I'm just like, Okay, 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.200 she's like, she's like, guys, there's no bad animals, just 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:16.520 bad Maybe she is. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.880 We're back to our conversation from the pilot, right, So, 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.600 so we had this conversation in the pilot about the 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.200 scorpion and like, what is it true? 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.360 They're asking very. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.880 Specifically, like this thing might have community and it might 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.960 attack us, and if like she's having or at least 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.040 these thoughts implanted in her before she even makes the transition. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.640 It's very interesting to me that post transition she's like 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.560 completely doubled down on that, and that that completely aligns 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.280 with like what Boy Genius and ostensibly cursh one be 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.440 really interested to see. I have a new theory that 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.640 Curge and boy Genius might be somewhat on the same 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.880 page more than we're aware of. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.439 Right now, Okay, I'm excited to talk more about that. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.840 I'm excited to talk about that. I'm excited to talk 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.680 about that. I'll just say that in terms of, like, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.000 could she not be correct about this alien being good? 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.520 When you release an alien in a room full of assholes, 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.400 it will seem like it's doing good things. Correct. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.040 Okay, good point, good point, good point. Okay, she she 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.400 didn't see like an a look and look, this is 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.920 the We are the people who were pro I we 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.080 were pro and. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.439 It's on this island of assholes. 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.880 Yeah, exactly, Like, so you know, I feel that that's 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.400 a good point. You're like, we have yet to see 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.880 the alien in like kindergarten, where maybe she would start 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:42.679 to feel differently about. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:51.600 Uh So, Wendy basically gets her back up about this 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.359 conversation because Joe is kind of like being very dismissive 0:13:55.480 --> 0:14:00.280 about the value of her working with the alien, even 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.160 that they exist here on Earth, and she's like, this 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.480 is a yes place. Boy genius always says, we just 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.760 say yes here, which, again in the context of billionaire 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:15.199 islands back children on them is and yet another dark 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.000 mirror into the world we live. And she basically tells 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.480 hermit like, we only say yes. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:25.480 Here, and I'm not the star of nothing. I'm okay, 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:26.400 all right. 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.000 Legitimately this is bad, well, Joe says later in the 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:35.360 episode to underline the metaphor even stronger. Know is how 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.840 we take control of our bodies, which is yes, well, yes, yeah. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:44.400 We go to the mediation meeting, Utani and Genius facing 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.240 off across this long table, their lawyers on either side, 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.240 a mediator in the middle, Marrow and Kersh standing beside 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:55.880 their respective bosses, and Utani makes her case as as 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.960 boy Genius, with his bare feet disgusting up on the table, 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.640 picks his toes and her point, and her point is 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.560 basically like, the ship is my property, everything on it 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.160 is my property, give it back. And then boy Genius 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.080 is like not unfairly, like, well, your ship crashed into 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.160 my city and killed untold numbers of people that I 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:19.920 don't care about, but still causing a significant dollar value damage. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.840 And you know, also like was it on purpose? Did 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.920 you purposefully? Exactly, like we need to look at all 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.320 of these things, you know, exact like he did at 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:33.280 the stable. 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.280 Did this he is like truly giving a performance of 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.680 a lifetime because you just want to sell this guy. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:45.400 I love yes, Rosie, Like it has been I was 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.480 thinking about this old driving around yesterday. It's been a 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.000 minute since I hated a villain like this, Like I 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.040 haven't seen a villain in a show that is this 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.560 catable in a in a in a second, and he is. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.400 I can't wait for him to get a lot of 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.520 our TV shows like and all right, we already hate 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:04.720 the Empire. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.040 We hate those are those are the character those are 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.560 the things that we are. We know about and we've 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.040 known the bad for a long time, so that is 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.040 an inherent feeling that you have against them. This is 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:20.440 a personal kind of hate. He is so disrespectful, he's 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.640 so awful, he's so entitled. The whole time, I was 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.440 really sitting there like wishing for a you know, kind 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.000 of kill Bill esque, like somebody just comes in and 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.840 chops off his feet, taking. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.480 Your tony side. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:40.320 Like I'm like, I'm literally sitting there like this guy 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.240 is so fucking disrespectful, Just fucking kill him, Like why 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.880 why is he being allowed to babe like this? Like 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.360 what is going on that? 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.120 Watching a woman executive hundreds of years from now? 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.200 Yeah, still he talked over me. 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:58.800 He's just like wait and I'm like, please, God make. 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:03.240 It in so then boy Genius makes it a really 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.960 the salient point, which is, well, mister mediator, did you 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.719 know this ship was filled with illegal alien creatures that 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.240 have been brought to Earth in direct violation of several 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.280 international and corporate laws. You tanis like, okay, here's what 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.840 we'll do. Give me. Here's I'll give you twenty billion. 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.600 And I promised that the creatures were going to an 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.560 off world research facility. That's where they were going when 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.680 they crashed. They were never gonna come to Earth. They're 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.640 going to go to that facility, and then we don't 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.760 have to worry about that. And she's like, yes, sounds great, 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.320 twenty million, that's good after the six week quarantine though, right, 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.840 which again the law is very clear on this six weeks. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.720 We got to wait six weeks. And she's like, okay, 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.920 fifty billion annoying, and you pack them up right now. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.200 And boy Genius was like, no, I must follow the laws. 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:55.200 Sorry, not even about I've got I've got lots of money. 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:03.880 I think this is such an interesting, interesting moment because look, 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.359 the Utani boy genius of it all is so great, 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:12.440 and they are they have such good furious like Nemesis chemistry. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.800 But what I'm most interested in this scene is the 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.280 notion of the Five and the way that the Five 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.320 govern because they just sent some random guy who I'm sorry, 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.440 nine out of ten chants that that motherfucker is a 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.280 sent first of all, probably the way that he was 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.320 overseeing it, the. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:31.120 Lack of sense. 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:35.280 I'm very interested that even in the terms of the 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.840 people who are in charge, right, Utani is one of 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.520 these corporations. Prodigy is one of these corporations that supposedly 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.960 run the company and the countries. But they sent like 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.879 a mediator, not a higher boss, not someone who seems 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:56.760 to have any kind of real ownership or control over 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.600 the situation, just a guy who stands there and says like, okay, 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.520 uh no, is this true. I just find it very interesting. 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.399 There's so much more I want to know about the 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.399 Five and how they are controlled and run. 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.560 It does give the idea that the other companies are 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:18.679 more powerful than waylan Utahi like, because between corporations makes sense. 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.840 But to your point, if it's two bosses of two 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.919 of the major spaces, then typically you would think that 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.359 there would at first be some kind of like let's 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.240 come together and talk about it before we. 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.680 Yeah, maybe the other three would be involved to try 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.200 and talk about it, right. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.720 I just thought it was really interesting at these two 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.960 what happens to the rest, So yeah, that is really interesting. 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.480 Karmen is a theory that Adam is puppeting everything, which 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.320 I find really intriguing. 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:49.119 I could read it. 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:50.560 Would be really interesting to see. 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.199 She's been looking at some of the frames and just 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.920 positioning and Adam always seems to sort of be behind 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.520 boy Genius and a sort of puppeting position, and then Boyd. 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.120 She mentioned way Genius is clothing this episode, it's particularly 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:08.720 like thready there's like a lot of strings hanging from it. 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:11.320 So she's on that theory right now, which I find 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:12.000 really interesting. 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:14.320 I really like that one. 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:18.320 So Marrow pulls you tany aside for a second and 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.960 he's like, and she's like, what's what's going on with 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.600 your mission? And he's like, I think there's a high 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:29.200 likelihood we get at least one creature back by end 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:34.520 of day. That's from his little slightly uh sneak in 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.280 mission and he tells his boss that you should also 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.800 know that Prodigy is up security on the island and 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:43.639 expectation that we would attack them frontal attack, and he 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:48.439 recommends destabilizing the island and getting the creatures out in 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:54.399 the chaos, an interesting line considering what comes next. Kurush 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:59.080 gets on the elevator with Morrow and let me just say, 0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.959 I don't need this is just a this is a nitpick, 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:07.560 not about alien Okay. The trope where the character gets 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.480 on the elevator and you watch the doors closed, it's like, 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:12.600 I know the hand is coming in the door to 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.920 keep the door open, and then I just know that's 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:21.960 gonna happen, so like just get to it anyway. Yeah, 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.400 so anyway, I just know I'm gonna see that hand 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.280 come in and stop the door. Kirse stops the door, 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.600 comes in the elevator, starts talking a bunch of shit, 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:35.520 calling Morrow almost human, since that a human that thinks 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.680 he's a machine. And then Marrow's like, well you're looking, yeah, 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.960 you're an out of date model. You're like a fucking 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:44.719 You're like a three year old toaster, Like what are 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.120 you even talking about? So they're just like roasting each 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.359 other and then Morrow is like, listen, you know what 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:51.800 I love about killing since is they have no pay, 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.000 they don't feel pain. You can just keep chopping them up, 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.720 and they're lucid the whole time, telling me everything I 0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:01.320 want to know, little fucking tiny bits, and Kersh is like, oh, yeah, 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:03.199 you know, it's going to be really fun when you 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.800 figure out that you're still a man, that even though 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.320 you have some like machine parts implanted in you, you're 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.320 still a guy whose eyeballs can be popped out. And 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:17.120 then you're like, I can't wait for them to fucking thrown. 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:20.920 I am good with this scene. I really really am. 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:22.919 Was so good together. 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.480 The thing I walked away thinking about most from this 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:31.320 scene is the idea that Okay, Kersh Knowsmorrow is like 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.920 in the kid's head, like he's aware, he's heard him 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.800 listening to the conversation, so that like this was such 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:43.000 a clear plan of attack. The way he fucks with 0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:47.240 Marrow is the same way Marrow was fucking with the kid, Like. 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:48.280 It's the exact scene. 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:52.280 Let me completely destabilize you, let me get inside your head, 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.320 let me figure out what you know or think about me. 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:57.520 And the fact that he thinks like, oh, you're outdated 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:00.080 technology and you're not prepared like I think Marrow. So 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.480 for as munch of an advantage as he has. I 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:07.040 think by discounting Kurge, we're gonna see that table hurt 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:09.040 him like a lot come down the line once he 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:10.240 gets to the island himself. 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:13.880 That's it's really absolutely I can't wait to talk about 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.080 this much more. When we were going with cap, let's 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:17.000 take a quick Craig, will. 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:32.920
