It would be quite the thing if they talk about the guy only to have found him dead already.  I assume it’s the old patriarch that Marcus had to ask permission from.

Yeah.  She killed the rest of the kids.  She only wanted 5 replacements. Little XTreme is our Mother.

The first ep had them shutting their eyes so as to protect themselves from the screams, somehow. The first two who we see get hit with her Banshee Scream don’t vapourize, so I have to assume that it’s a thing not to look at her...eyes? When she vapourized the control room with one blast, the only one that didn’t get…

Much better choice for Reacher...But are we sure that Jai Courtney, Sam Worthington, and Ritchson here aren’t all Terminators produced by Skynet to infiltrate our timeline?

It’s like all the Mithraics here were told to act like the Christians from Kingdom of Heaven.  Just dirt dumb and entitled.

So far, I’ve seen no evidence of that.  The creator has nothing to do with those kooky xenomorphs, so I hope not.  Just the go-to for Android blood is milk

I didn’t watch that trailer....but I dunno that the show isn’t sort of dumb.  Still, having watched now the second one, I still think it’s funny.

Didn’t the opening voice over talk about a number of seed ships heading in different directions?  I’m not gonna go back right now, but I never got the sense that those embryos were the only ones in existence.

I have exactly the same queasy feeling. Episode one just BLEW through stuff that I think I would have found interesting stretched out. These three episodes seem to be all about setting up the premise, and then they’ll be jettisoned like a rocket booster. I fear we’re heading into The 100 territiry here. I looked up an…

Yep. The ship fell in a hole. Mother makes a point to say”Retrievable. “. That ship stays there for twelve years. They DO access the ship and it only falls deeper after the kid inexplicably turns on the engines. If there was life saving stuff in that craft, they could have gotten to it any time.

I had the same feeling. But I didn’t need the trailer. They didn’t show her doing what she said she did with him...and they need the character for the plot.  Full Jon Snow.

How does the surviving kid come up with praying?  Who is the kid praying to?  Why does the kid think that praying will help the outcome?  Those notions are implanted into heads.  Mother is pretty adamant that there is no deity.  We don’t get to see Father very much.  Was he programmed to subtly introduce those ideas? …

I accidentally watched ep 1 of that today. I thought it was pretty funny

HA!  That’s a new wrinkle!

I’m fine with them no wearing helmets. I don’t understand why the androids don’t have any kind of medical moves they can make. No medicines? “The child is coughing. This One projects 50/50 chance of survival. This One will continue the Lesson.” That’s the kind of parents they were programmed to be?

Well, the regular folk go layered clothes and capes.  Androids won’t be packing on that winter weight, I assume.

Just a pot to stir, seems like to me.

Well, that was pretty good as an hour. I felt like the story was blowing all it’s cool stuff early, and still think so. But it did go some place I didn’t expect, and that’s good. I guess they really wanted to get to the main premise. I assume Father is still out there somewhere, and no one’s just gonna off Ragnar…

I agree.  The only good part of Mute was trying to see what happened to Sam Bell off the tv screens.

No, not that one.
