Damon Lindehof and JJ Abrams : take notes! Joking aside, there's better be some serious payoffs to explain all the stuff especially that frikkin flying snake!
Yeah. With some of the Lost vibes to this show, I was getting worried it might just be a “make it up as you go along” number, like that show turned out to be…
Mother and Father came to the planet with 12 embryos. The cave painting only had 9 embryos. I believe the cave painting shows a departure for Earth long ago.
I saw a science fiction masterpiece. Visuals, concepts, the weirdness... every moment was bliss. Sincerely. And it’s a huge credit to the writers and this show creator that everything he’s explaining in this interview... I already came to the same conclusions after just thinking about what I had just seen on the tv. Can’t wait for Season Two.
@@jamesward3859 It's story definitely revolves around a human civil war between the religious and atheists but I wouldn't say one is favored over the other.
@@jamesward3859 The religious and the atheists are both pretty much evil in this show. Though we see more of the religious people in Season 1, so we get to see more of them doing messed up stuff. However, it is not actually any real world religion, though it has some practical similarities to medieval European Christianity.
Really cool too see a showrunner bee so open about his show. Before it is even done being writen; let alone start filming. Never before has a show freaked me out; and excited me. So good. I like 10 episodes I feel jipped with 8 but hey point of preference, I guess....
This show presents a fairly unique concept, you can’t really guess where things are going, even if the analogies to existing mythology are obvious. The weirdness and the uniqueness of it all are just so damn entertaining!
@@khaynn2112 Not really. There are stylistic parallels, but other than the idea that humanity on earth may have come from humanoids elsewhere, I don’t think the actual story is that similar
Why does this interview have so few views? It’s fantastic and a LOT of good information is divulged here! For example we learn there are five pentagonal temples on the planet, we learn that the planet core has unique attributes when compared to other planets like Earth, he lets it be known that 22B actually HAD a civilization on the planet in the past, he reveals that the Android from Mothers visions was in a “birthing pod”, he says 22B has zones just like Earth with tropical, ocean, desert etc. All good info!
@@ghostgate82 I think it’s based on the Cult of Mithras, or Mithraism, which was a real world religious cult in the Roman Empire, about the same time as early Christianity, but not much is known about it because they did not write down their scriptures, leaving the show writers room to be creative. However, their statues show a divine sun, as well as several other features like a suckling snake. I visited the remains of a Mithraum - which is the name of their temples - under the City of London a couple of years ago.There was another Roman cult to Sol Invictus, which the pregnant girl notes when looking at the Taro Card things, saying that the sun logo looks like the sign of Sol Invictus. Also, they find the tooth of Romulus as a relic, which is another Roman thing, and is also the reference of the show title, as Romulus and Remus were two brothers raised by wolves who ended up founding a city on rival hills. Romulus killed Remus, and his city, Rome, went on to become the seat of a new great civilisation. The kids in this show are raised by two non-humans. So it seems like The Mithraic is based on Mithraism, combined perhaps with some other Roman era cults, and it seems that in this version of Earth, Mithraism rather than Christianity went on to become the global religion. But, did it really come from somewhere else? Is their god Sol really some other consciousness, on, say, Kepler 22b?
I absolutely love this show and wish more people would pay attention to it. Now that the expanse has ended, perhaps the show will start gaining more momentum for Sci-fi fans looking for something to enjoy. I also love how obviously planned out this story is, as the writing does not hesitate to simply say “yes” to direct questions as opposed to vague answers like some shows in the past. I also like that he had the foresight to have a “contingency plot” that could still tell the story of it is not renewed to tell the full planned five season arc. Just an observation, but after watching a recap of season 1 bc of how long it has been since the season finale and with season 2 finally starting, I feel like Ridley Scott got together with this guy and said, “Let’s put our ideas together so I can finally get to tell the story I have been wanting to really put on screen since I wrote Prometheus.” I had forgotten the scene where mother sees the former species trying to birth a “child” such as her own, but they fail. After hearing the face of the android being labeled a “birthing mask” as well as its shape, it closely resembles the notorious “space jockey” from the original “Alien” film that was later revealed to be a helmet worn by the engineers in “Prometheus” to help the, fly their space crafts. This show has so much in common with what Ridley was trying to say in his prequel trilogy, but seemed to get muddled due to studio interference, rewrites, and having to shove the xenomorph into the story. It also has hints at some Battlestar Galactica lore as well. I hope we get the full Five seasons as I think this could be a truly epic science fiction series!
This was an awesome interview and I'm so glad I found it. I watched the series and the end had me scratching my head a bit but this helped fill in some of the blanks. This interview should really be on HBOMAX LOL
I wonder how young Campion was resistant to the radiation poisoning? Was there something in Mother’s tears that helped him? Mother cried over him when he was not breathing at birth
@@IndyMotoRider Personally, I think the 3 Eyed Raven could have used a little more explanation than we got. In any case, didn’t Guzikowski say in this interview that we would learn more about that later on?
I am surprised that none of my friends have watched this show. I guess they don't have HBOmax. They are really missing out and between this show and Lovecraft Country anyone should pick HBOmax. Awesome show, can't wait for season 2!
Spoiler alert...... The snow we often see is from the nuclear war the original inhabitants had. That's why the food is radioactive, and the creatures are mutants. They adapted to the darkness and lack of resources. In the series finale, a forty-year-old Campion is walking along a beach and sees the Statue of Liberty.
@Guywith Aplan Just kidding about the series finale. I’m guessing that it will be a satisfying conclusion. The Statue of Liberty was a reference to the ending of the original Planet of the Apes movie. The actor, Charlton Heston, believes he is on a planet ruled by talking apes. When in fact his spaceship returned him to the Earth in the future. When he sees the Statue of Liberty, he realizes that he is back on Earth. Humans nearly destroyed themselves, allowing apes to evolve. So, maybe the creatures on Kepler-22b are what is left of a civilization that nearly destroyed themselves in a nuclear war.
Mother and Father are the wolves. It is a reference to the mythical founders of Rome - Romulus and Remus - who were raised by wolves. They each founded a city on rival hills. Then Romulus killed his brother Remus, and Romulus’s city, Rome, went on to become the seat of a great new civilisation. The tooth that they find on the crashed arc in one of the later episodes is, at least as far as the Mithraic believes, the tooth of Romulus, and is one of their holy relics. The children in this show are raised by two non-humans - Mother and Father.
5-6 season? Great!! I wonder before its all over will it cross over into the Aliens Prometheus storyline that could lead into a Movie. Which would be so satisfying to to see how the Engineers relate to this.
The fact the sucked me in with this weird sci fi element was great. Then the fact they then went into a realm off mind warpery that surpassed even my insane imagination. Is just amazing 👏. I cannot wait to be taken on the next ride.
So many questions! The “lascauex” type cave paintings show a ship going towards earth...but who did the paintings? Did they come back?? How did they know what earth’s solar system looked like? Is it time travelers, who show mother and father going BACK to earth with the surviving children. Does “Sol’s” voice drive people insane? Is Paul now broken forever, begging for more?
Am sorry to say that I downloaded this series from an illegal site and yet it's the best tv I have ever watched..we have Netflix in Uganda but no hbo max,
A good show for sure, had me thinking about it long after I’d watch an episode as I purposefully didn’t binge watch it. I found it interesting that the creatures didn’t show up for the first 12yrs but once the young girl became pregnant, not only did they reveal themselves but they pretty much made beeline towards her, I wonder if there’s anything in that? By far the most intriguing and original SiFi series on TV right now, will be interesting to see season 2 and hope that they stay the course and are able to complete the whole 5 seasons? Unfortunately I don’t take anything for granted now, based on previous SiFi shows and movies, I know that American networks can be so fickle and pull show just as it gets really interesting if the numbers aren’t going in the right direction or production costs becomes too expensive. Hopefully this won’t happen here from what I’ve seen so far.
I hope the Serpent evolves into a King Zenomorph. And all this takes place after Alien Covenant, and the Android David is the orchrstrater of everything that has taken place on that planet. Setting up Alien 4.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
It looked very similar to en engineer. But a lot smaller, and engineers have smooth skin, while this has very lumpy features. Ridley Scott has confirmed that this show is not in the same universe as or linked to the Alien franchise. So I think there are a lot of stylistic parallels, but they are stylistic only.
It’s super interesting to me to see androids so emotion driven. Mother and Father (his “jealousy” when he learns mother is pregnant and wanting to erase his memories and Mother… ) how she goes into full In medieval mode when it comes to the kids’ lives. Even her emotional reactions to Campion’s burgeoning faith. She loses her shit at times. Very unusual (for me) to see such emotion from machines. I really am enjoying the show and love this take on human emotions being so poignantly projected by non humans.. cheers
I’m glad he said 8 episodes is the new 10. While I loved the show, i felt as though it could have be ever so slightly truncated to be a tighter story arc. Looking forward to Season 2!
Ah, no, I was really sad 😞. I don’t want to rush it. I would rather they take their time, plus that gives us more content. Still, each to their own preferences I guess…
In this story is the Mithraic religion the only one in Earth's history or did the Mithraic religion start in the 20th century and eventually surpassed all others like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism?
It hasn’t been explained. I think there will be a flashback of humans from our future (the past from the characters in the show’s perspective) discovering hidden Mithraic scriptures, because as it stands now, the Mithras cult has no scriptures that have been discovered.
I love this show! I feel like I'm an epiphany away from going 'Necromancer'! Sol is the Light!☀ btw it was mothers tear containing dark photon energy that 'blessed' Campian & brought him back to life at his birth.Time is 'slippin' causing not de-evolution,but evolution 'backwards'. Ai births organic births ai births organic🌀 Can we have the mithraic scriptures in a graphic novel?
Ok, here's my two cents. Kepler 22b IS Earth, just in a displaced time loop. The necromancers that were left behind when the Mithraics left Earth consolidated into what will become Sol and took root in the planets core as the best means of survival as the energy found there would be practically unlimited for an AI being. Perfect strategy for a waiting game of potential million years for the loop to close and the cycle to restart again with the arrival of Mother and Father. Furthermore, Not all humans left on earth died though, which explains the curious "devolved"creatures. The only thing I haven't figured out is who, or where in the timeline the Mithraics blueprints came from.
Humans should have figured out that this mithraic technology is not there to serve their interests, but the interests of it's creators. In fact the mithraic snakes (or the AI that they left behind after their extinction) may be actively hostile towards humans, as humans (of unclear origins) may have played a role in their downfall, and the destruction of their planet. The question is, will Mother side with the humans? Also, the trip thorough the planet's core was a bit too much.
also, Paul and the others influenced by visions are the snakes' agents. the snakes want to live in the tropical region, undisturbed by humans, so humans should stay in the borderline uninhabitable parts
At the ending of the video I disagree on the comment that shorter seasons are better. Even 10 season episodes I consider way too short I miss the days when seasons were 20 plus episodes. It's like they just begin and just a few short weeks later they're over and then you have to wait an entire year just for the next season. I'm disabled and don't have much else to do but watch TV and there's not enough of it anymore. I used to have many different shows that I enjoyed watching that kept me busy, pretty much all the time. And nowadays seems like I've seen everything that can be seen multiple times and I have nothing to watch. Rhe few television shows I do enjoy watching play a 30 to 50 min episode once a week for 8 weeks. Sometimes 10 week but sometimes even worse a measly six weeks. Then I have roughly another 46 weeks before. Before I can have something new and interesting to watch. And by the way I love the show it's one of the very few shows that peak my interest and out of all the shows I enjoy watching this has to be the best one.
The way I see it this guy is the new Damon Lindelof. He is tackling some very interesting themes and is able to raise great questions but then spoils it with very underwhelming answers that ruin the experience. It does not help at all that he doesn't care about making any sense on any level. I am guessing the pitch was: Imagine Lost but it's in space and with androids.
I'm not sure he really is asking any big questions. I certainly see people *interpreting* a lot of meaning. Also, I'm pretty sure no mention of *Lost* was made.🤭 Pitch meeting was probably: *'I bet I can get people to read way too deeply into a hot genocide-robot fvcking in milk.'* 🙃
@@zoopdterdoobdter5743 I think that there are very interesting questions in the heart of this story. Humanity and it's selfdestructive relation with religion and fanaticism. The hypothesis that advanced artificial intelligence could be a capable parent and what would that result in. I though that, given what we know about the psychological development of children, it would be like being raised by a parent with some sort of autism whose behaviour pattern does not really inform you on general human behaviour. So I did find the concept interesting at first. There were many possibilities to be explored. Also I don't really think that it's a case where the creators set out to create something compromised for an audience that doesn't have a high standard. I think it's a case where it's just not as good as it should have been because they either don't know any better or there where too many creative inputs pulling at different directions.
So ... no questions about the similarities of Ridley Scott's Alien franchise? If not exactly within the same "universe", then why so many visual and thematic similarities... and will we see more of it?
@Nicolaus Volentius Strong semi-androgynious female leads, Androids, androids with white blood, androids obsessed with their origins, dystopian technocratic future, religious undertones of the origin of the human race, fertility, motherhood, fatherhood, Earth pets on alien planets, pets as children/protection, birthing alien creatures from another species/androids, fostering children, and of course the mere fact that Scott is involved and the timeline fits as it's far enough in the future from what he consider cannon (Alien, Aliens, Prometheus, Covenant) coupled with the fact that he tried to pass Prometheus as a non-Alien related work (so there is precedence) so he may be trying to do the same here. All we're missing is a Weyland-Yutani logo and a Xenomorph and it's more or less confirmed. I feel kind of like I'm pointing out the obvious and everyone is just like.. "yeah, the sky is blue.. you don't have to mention it". also... ++ SPOLER ALERT The flying alien baby looked exactly like the proto-worm/snake from Prometheus. And not only creature design, but set design, ship design (the arcs, not the shuttle, which is, as well as the suits, seems to be a nod to sci-fi films of the 50's and 60's).. I mean it's not straight up HR Gieger, but it's Gieger-esque. Is that not enough similarities? I can probably think of a few more if pressured. If it's not part of the Alien franchise, then either this dude was heavily inspired by and people were like "Hey Ridley Scott should direct this, wouldn't that be cute".. or it's been sort of ret-conned and absorbed into the franchise because of the similarities, or Scott's involvement is much hands-on than they are eluding towards.
@@Vondruke It is certainly very Ridley-esque. But I think that is thematic and stylistic, rather than a direct story link. Scott himself has said that this story is not connected to the Alien franchise or universe. But they clearly wanted his imprint on it. Guzikowski said in this interview that they wanted to Scott to create the look and feel of it, and then other directors could follow his lead from there. He also talked about Scott mapping out the shoot schedule and stuff. So I reckon 1) Guzikowski is heavily influenced by Scott and is interested in many of the same themes, so 2) he wanted Scott to put his imprimatur on it, and 3) Scott was indeed very involved in the production of this first series, though it is an open question whether he will be going forwards.
The number 5 the number 5. We hear Mother reiterate the importance of the number 5. we know in this interview that it was conceived as a 5 season show. We also know we will see another pentagonal temple in season 2 ... Will we see a (1) pentagonal temple per season ?
You are all idiots. Mother is going to be the end all. You all forget.... the giant reptile that comes from her...It is a circle. beginning to a end. the new humans will suffer.... ridley says so.
I’ve watched the entire 10 episodes really enjoyed was enjoying this series until the whole flying snake bit.. very much the same Alien style, looked almost identical to the alien on Dream Catcher. Anyway a real half human half necromancer baby would have been way cooler. I hope the series comes back around for me on the second season.
I thought that too, but 5 seconds later I realized it wouldn’t work. Marques would remember being Paul instead of Caleb (unless the memories were implanted, but that’s dumb).
14:38 went looking for your interview about season 2 with this guy to get the most up to date stuff, and the show had been cancelled, no season 3….I’m out. Bye
People are getting more dumb or I'm getting more intelligent, how this show is a masterpiece? Its a decent show a 7 out of 10 with good score all over the place story some bad cgi and absolutely terrible child actor who is overreacting constantly. I will watch the second season as I'm a big fan of Alien and Terror another Ridley Scott show with was fantastic ( first season).
I thought the devolving humans could be from being subjugated. On this planet they are not the master race. So their brains, skills and bodies have mostly atrophied from disuse.
The show was going good until the snake showed up....dude, he went too far.i love a good syfy drama and I am the matrix queen; however, it was like he just threw a snake in it because he was pulling stuff out his you know what. Nothing was explained and the critical thinking yes;nevertheless, NOTHING was explained. EXAMPLE ...TALLY, THE ART WORK ON THE DOME, THE VOICES.... DUDE POPPED ACID AND JUMPED ON HIS COMPUTER. THE END!!
I don’t know about that. There was foreshadowing of the snake from the first episode, when we saw the skeletal remains of a giant snake. And statues from the Ancient Roman Cult of Mithras (also known as Mithraism - very similar to The Mithraic) show a snake suckling blood from a bull, in a similar way that this snake suckles from Mother. So I think there is a plan behind the snake. And yes, that other stuff hasn’t been explained. Yet. Guzikowski says in this video that he has the story planned out over 5 seasons, so we are only 20% into the story at this stage. We are only at the set up stage. For more on the link to Mithraism and other theories and whatnot, check out a video by Alt Shift X called, I think, “Raised by Wolves Explained”. It’s pretty awesome
Yeah. The problem with Lost was that after a while it became clear that they were just making it up as they went along, and all the freaky weirdness didn’t add up to anything. I was getting a bit worried that this might be the same. But as Guzikowski said in this interview that he has the whole story arc planned out, including the ending, I am hopeful that this is different!
If it was the VERY end of the show, I would agree with you. But it’s only the end of season 1, of course the ending should leave the viewer wondering, that’s how you engage the audience.
Its nice to know that he has 5 seasons planned out, INCLUDING THE ENDING.... Disney, write that down
Damon Lindehof and JJ Abrams : take notes! Joking aside, there's better be some serious payoffs to explain all the stuff especially that frikkin flying snake!
Yeah. With some of the Lost vibes to this show, I was getting worried it might just be a “make it up as you go along” number, like that show turned out to be…

Mother and Father are the wolves. It is a reference to the mythical founders of Rome - Romulus and Remus - who were raised by wolves. They each founded a city on rival hills. Then Romulus killed his brother Remus, and Romulus’s city, Rome, went on to become the seat of a great new civilisation. The tooth that they find on the crashed arc in one of the later episodes is, at least as far as the Mithraic believes, the tooth of Romulus, and is one of their holy relics. The children in this show are raised by two non-humans - Mother and Father.
5-6 season? Great!! I wonder before its all over will it cross over into the Aliens Prometheus storyline that could lead into a Movie. Which would be so satisfying to to see how the Engineers relate to this.
I did not like how the season ended... but the more I think about it the more I need to see season 2.
Outstanding show
The fact the sucked me in with this weird sci fi element was great. Then the fact they then went into a realm off mind warpery that surpassed even my insane imagination. Is just amazing 👏. I cannot wait to be taken on the next ride.
So many questions!
The “lascauex” type cave paintings show a ship going towards earth...but who did the paintings?
Did they come back?? How did they know what earth’s solar system looked like?
Is it time travelers, who show mother and father going BACK to earth with the surviving children.
Does “Sol’s” voice drive people insane?
Is Paul now broken forever, begging for more?
Great show- really love it, especially the complex story depth! And this interview is fantastic as a complimentary bit.
Got a giant flying snake and you need it gone?
BETTER CALL SOL
This show got even better now knowing that Aaron Guzikowski is HOT
Agreed ;)
Am sorry to say that I downloaded this series from an illegal site and yet it's the best tv I have ever watched..we have Netflix in Uganda but no hbo max,
Well, you can only do what you can do right. If they don’t give you the opportunity to buy it…
Best show since GOT hope the ending is as good as the show because it's amazing
Its funny how we're all wondering whats going on and here we are talking to the one who has all the answers.
A good show for sure, had me thinking about it long after I’d watch an episode as I purposefully didn’t binge watch it. I found it interesting that the creatures didn’t show up for the first 12yrs but once the young girl became pregnant, not only did they reveal themselves but they pretty much made beeline towards her, I wonder if there’s anything in that?
By far the most intriguing and original SiFi series on TV right now, will be interesting to see season 2 and hope that they stay the course and are able to complete the whole 5 seasons?
Unfortunately I don’t take anything for granted now, based on previous SiFi shows and movies, I know that American networks can be so fickle and pull show just as it gets really interesting if the numbers aren’t going in the right direction or production costs becomes too expensive. Hopefully this won’t happen here from what I’ve seen so far.
Ho my!! They are back on earth!!! After the war!
I hope the Serpent evolves into a King Zenomorph. And all this takes place after Alien Covenant, and the Android David is the orchrstrater of everything that has taken place on that planet. Setting up Alien 4.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Praise be to The Creator!
Praise be to Guzikowski!
Nawr cause I need season 2!
More episodes better, when the show is this good.
For any fans of the game Bloodborne, think of “fuel blood” being synonymous with “pale blood.” You’re welcome.
yesss .. we should co op im down for another playthrough ... PSN : detestor420
He said 5-6 season sheeesh… let’s go 🔥
No de-evolution. That was an engineer. CLEARLY.
It looked very similar to en engineer. But a lot smaller, and engineers have smooth skin, while this has very lumpy features. Ridley Scott has confirmed that this show is not in the same universe as or linked to the Alien franchise. So I think there are a lot of stylistic parallels, but they are stylistic only.
It’s super interesting to me to see androids so emotion driven. Mother and Father (his “jealousy” when he learns mother is pregnant and wanting to erase his memories and Mother… ) how she goes into full In medieval mode when it comes to the kids’ lives. Even her emotional reactions to Campion’s burgeoning faith. She loses her shit at times. Very unusual (for me) to see such emotion from machines. I really am enjoying the show and love this take on human emotions being so poignantly projected by non humans.. cheers
I’m glad he said 8 episodes is the new 10. While I loved the show, i felt as though it could have be ever so slightly truncated to be a tighter story arc. Looking forward to Season 2!
Ah, no, I was really sad 😞. I don’t want to rush it. I would rather they take their time, plus that gives us more content. Still, each to their own preferences I guess…
In this story is the Mithraic religion the only one in Earth's history or did the Mithraic religion start in the 20th century and eventually surpassed all others like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism?
It hasn’t been explained. I think there will be a flashback of humans from our future (the past from the characters in the show’s perspective) discovering hidden Mithraic scriptures, because as it stands now, the Mithras cult has no scriptures that have been discovered.
@@ghostgate82 agreed
Guess you'll just have to watch the show. The fact that it generates that kind of question stands as a solid recommend, though, right?
@@Trollificusv2 I appreciated many aspects of it but it has a disappointing ending
@@JohnCamacho what did you want in the finale?
I love this show! I feel like I'm an epiphany away from going 'Necromancer'! Sol is the Light!☀ btw it was mothers tear containing dark photon energy that 'blessed' Campian & brought him back to life at his birth.Time is 'slippin' causing not de-evolution,but evolution 'backwards'. Ai births organic births ai births organic🌀 Can we have the mithraic scriptures in a graphic novel?
Whooah that last question is a really cool idea
Campion and his posh Brit accent should be explained too
Thank goodness she was digitally impregnated.
After seeing Tempest, I’m starting to think of them as the “rapey” pods.
The interviewer seems more interested in himself asking questions than getting the answer lol
Ok, here's my two cents. Kepler 22b IS Earth, just in a displaced time loop. The necromancers that were left behind when the Mithraics left Earth consolidated into what will become Sol and took root in the planets core as the best means of survival as the energy found there would be practically unlimited for an AI being. Perfect strategy for a waiting game of potential million years for the loop to close and the cycle to restart again with the arrival of Mother and Father. Furthermore, Not all humans left on earth died though, which explains the curious "devolved"creatures. The only thing I haven't figured out is who, or where in the timeline the Mithraics blueprints came from.
Humans should have figured out that this mithraic technology is not there to serve their interests, but the interests of it's creators. In fact the mithraic snakes (or the AI that they left behind after their extinction) may be actively hostile towards humans, as humans (of unclear origins) may have played a role in their downfall, and the destruction of their planet. The question is, will Mother side with the humans? Also, the trip thorough the planet's core was a bit too much.
also, Paul and the others influenced by visions are the snakes' agents. the snakes want to live in the tropical region, undisturbed by humans, so humans should stay in the borderline uninhabitable parts
At the ending of the video I disagree on the comment that shorter seasons are better. Even 10 season episodes I consider way too short I miss the days when seasons were 20 plus episodes. It's like they just begin and just a few short weeks later they're over and then you have to wait an entire year just for the next season. I'm disabled and don't have much else to do but watch TV and there's not enough of it anymore. I used to have many different shows that I enjoyed watching that kept me busy, pretty much all the time. And nowadays seems like I've seen everything that can be seen multiple times and I have nothing to watch. Rhe few television shows I do enjoy watching play a 30 to 50 min episode once a week for 8 weeks. Sometimes 10 week but sometimes even worse a measly six weeks. Then I have roughly another 46 weeks before. Before I can have something new and interesting to watch.
And by the way I love the show it's one of the very few shows that peak my interest and out of all the shows I enjoy watching this has to be the best one.
A damn Flying snake......A damn flying snake...seriously...a damn flying snake....LMAO!
Not sure if history repeats itself or there is a time travel..that one I want to know
The way I see it this guy is the new Damon Lindelof. He is tackling some very interesting themes and is able to raise great questions but then spoils it with very underwhelming answers that ruin the experience. It does not help at all that he doesn't care about making any sense on any level. I am guessing the pitch was: Imagine Lost but it's in space and with androids.
I'm not sure he really is asking any big questions. I certainly see people *interpreting* a lot of meaning. Also, I'm pretty sure no mention of *Lost* was made.🤭 Pitch meeting was probably: *'I bet I can get people to read way too deeply into a hot genocide-robot fvcking in milk.'* 🙃
@@zoopdterdoobdter5743 I think that there are very interesting questions in the heart of this story. Humanity and it's selfdestructive relation with religion and fanaticism. The hypothesis that advanced artificial intelligence could be a capable parent and what would that result in. I though that, given what we know about the psychological development of children, it would be like being raised by a parent with some sort of autism whose behaviour pattern does not really inform you on general human behaviour. So I did find the concept interesting at first. There were many possibilities to be explored. Also I don't really think that it's a case where the creators set out to create something compromised for an audience that doesn't have a high standard. I think it's a case where it's just not as good as it should have been because they either don't know any better or there where too many creative inputs pulling at different directions.
So ... no questions about the similarities of Ridley Scott's Alien franchise? If not exactly within the same "universe", then why so many visual and thematic similarities... and will we see more of it?
@Nicolaus Volentius Strong semi-androgynious female leads, Androids, androids with white blood, androids obsessed with their origins, dystopian technocratic future, religious undertones of the origin of the human race, fertility, motherhood, fatherhood, Earth pets on alien planets, pets as children/protection, birthing alien creatures from another species/androids, fostering children, and of course the mere fact that Scott is involved and the timeline fits as it's far enough in the future from what he consider cannon (Alien, Aliens, Prometheus, Covenant) coupled with the fact that he tried to pass Prometheus as a non-Alien related work (so there is precedence) so he may be trying to do the same here. All we're missing is a Weyland-Yutani logo and a Xenomorph and it's more or less confirmed. I feel kind of like I'm pointing out the obvious and everyone is just like.. "yeah, the sky is blue.. you don't have to mention it". also...
++ SPOLER ALERT
The flying alien baby looked exactly like the proto-worm/snake from Prometheus. And not only creature design, but set design, ship design (the arcs, not the shuttle, which is, as well as the suits, seems to be a nod to sci-fi films of the 50's and 60's).. I mean it's not straight up HR Gieger, but it's Gieger-esque.
Is that not enough similarities? I can probably think of a few more if pressured.
If it's not part of the Alien franchise, then either this dude was heavily inspired by and people were like "Hey Ridley Scott should direct this, wouldn't that be cute".. or it's been sort of ret-conned and absorbed into the franchise because of the similarities, or Scott's involvement is much hands-on than they are eluding towards.
Scot hasnt written this show. There is no connection
@@humanwithaplaylist He didn't write any of the Alien movies. Point is moot.
@@Vondruke It is certainly very Ridley-esque. But I think that is thematic and stylistic, rather than a direct story link. Scott himself has said that this story is not connected to the Alien franchise or universe. But they clearly wanted his imprint on it. Guzikowski said in this interview that they wanted to Scott to create the look and feel of it, and then other directors could follow his lead from there. He also talked about Scott mapping out the shoot schedule and stuff. So I reckon 1) Guzikowski is heavily influenced by Scott and is interested in many of the same themes, so 2) he wanted Scott to put his imprimatur on it, and 3) Scott was indeed very involved in the production of this first series, though it is an open question whether he will be going forwards.
Does mother need both eyes to become the necromancer?? Given what happens at the end of season one with Caleb/Marcus.
Yeah. I would say her necromancer days are over…
He gave away a ton. 8:00 mark on we can tell a lot
This show was sooooo good. For 4 episodes
Actually it was amazing the whole way through.
The number 5 the number 5. We hear Mother reiterate the importance of the number 5. we know in this interview that it was conceived as a 5 season show. We also know we will see another pentagonal temple in season 2 ... Will we see a (1) pentagonal temple per season ?
I want to watch this show but I’m wondering if it’s anti-religious or pro atheism
*'What's the pentagonal temple?'*
>He can't tell us...
Better not be a "hatch" they spend an entire season trying to get into. 😐
If humans left that planet long ago they did so with good reason.
Mothers milk will change it!!
You are all idiots. Mother is going to be the end all. You all forget.... the giant reptile that comes from her...It is a circle. beginning to a end.
the new humans will suffer.... ridley says so.
I’ve watched the entire 10 episodes really enjoyed was enjoying this series until the whole flying snake bit.. very much the same Alien style, looked almost identical to the alien on Dream Catcher. Anyway a real half human half necromancer baby would have been way cooler. I hope the series comes back around for me on the second season.
this show is bonkers lol in a good way, but just bonkers
Deep thought what is the meaning of the universe and every thing.
Deep thought : 40 kepler two two B
.....
I think humans and android started on keplar and left the planet due to the serpants and seeded earth.
Wouldn’t sol ether have them bring the robots or make them leave them knowing mother was on the way as well.
he should call them serpents not snakes
Uh, I uh can't uh wait for the uh second uh season of this uh show. 😜
That's why dude's behind the camera. Cut him some slack.
@@Trollificusv2 name checks out.
Markus = Paul(Young Markus) = The chosen one(puppet)
let the time loop begin!
I thought that too, but 5 seconds later I realized it wouldn’t work. Marques would remember being Paul instead of Caleb (unless the memories were implanted, but that’s dumb).
They could possibly be actual blood ancestors though...
The pits had to have been caused by some form of the snake that mother birthed.
Yh who and for how long have they had this story in their head? Must be maddeningly long!
14:38 went looking for your interview about season 2 with this guy to get the most up to date stuff, and the show had been cancelled, no season 3….I’m out. Bye
Love craft country was way better.
That show was ridiculous and tiresome. This is much better.
People are getting more dumb or I'm getting more intelligent, how this show is a masterpiece? Its a decent show a 7 out of 10 with good score all over the place story some bad cgi and absolutely terrible child actor who is overreacting constantly. I will watch the second season as I'm a big fan of Alien and Terror another Ridley Scott show with was fantastic ( first season).
Show is all over the place with some bad cgi and bad child actor in the main child role its ok 7 out of 10 , I do like the score
The planet is really not a planet.
The Necro Snake is Baby Jesus!
Dont involve Jesus in madness.
I thought the devolving humans could be from being subjugated.
On this planet they are not the master race. So their brains, skills and bodies have mostly atrophied from disuse.
5 seasons?
They won't get farther than middle of season 3. I'd be surprised if they even manage to finish season 2.
The show was going good until the snake showed up....dude, he went too far.i love a good syfy drama and I am the matrix queen; however, it was like he just threw a snake in it because he was pulling stuff out his you know what. Nothing was explained and the critical thinking yes;nevertheless, NOTHING was explained. EXAMPLE ...TALLY, THE ART WORK ON THE DOME, THE VOICES.... DUDE POPPED ACID AND JUMPED ON HIS COMPUTER. THE END!!
I don’t know about that. There was foreshadowing of the snake from the first episode, when we saw the skeletal remains of a giant snake. And statues from the Ancient Roman Cult of Mithras (also known as Mithraism - very similar to The Mithraic) show a snake suckling blood from a bull, in a similar way that this snake suckles from Mother. So I think there is a plan behind the snake. And yes, that other stuff hasn’t been explained. Yet. Guzikowski says in this video that he has the story planned out over 5 seasons, so we are only 20% into the story at this stage. We are only at the set up stage. For more on the link to Mithraism and other theories and whatnot, check out a video by Alt Shift X called, I think, “Raised by Wolves Explained”. It’s pretty awesome
It's only the first season, little mama.
this show reminds me of lost. where it seems interesting but sucks your brain in and makes you feel smarter for being brainwashed with it. lol
Yeah. The problem with Lost was that after a while it became clear that they were just making it up as they went along, and all the freaky weirdness didn’t add up to anything. I was getting a bit worried that this might be the same. But as Guzikowski said in this interview that he has the whole story arc planned out, including the ending, I am hopeful that this is different!
by the way, this interviewer used to annoy the hell out of me. he's gotten a lot better
if you have to explain your ending, and to argument it during an interview, you have missed something during the creation process ...
If it was the VERY end of the show, I would agree with you. But it’s only the end of season 1, of course the ending should leave the viewer wondering, that’s how you engage the audience.
Yeah, but it’s not the ending is it? We are only 20% of the way into the story, so at this point we are still really just setting the scene
