When she returns empty handed, Decima finally cracks under the peer pressure of the others. He can’t convince her to come with him to Mother, but she is affected enough that she manages to disobey the “direct order.” Later, even though she turned on him and attacked him, Campion still defends her against the Creature from the Acid Lagoon. Or maybe that was just a natural nausea induced from his saccharine, “but then nobody could look at you,” comment. When her lie about how the three colony kids found them leads indirectly to Paul being caught in the bio-bomb, Marcus further demotes Vrille to “a f*cking piece of plastic.” There’s only one way to “make it right.” Decima breaks Vrille’s neck again The Tragic Death of VrilleĬampion, on the other hand, treats Vrille so inclusively that it even makes her feel uneasy. He definitely has it in for Vrille, not just because she’s a robot, but also because he sees her as an impediment to his budding relationship with Decima. However, Marcus’ liberal inclusiveness stops at “robots.” He won’t even deign to call them androids, because that’s just a little too humanizing. He holds out hope that maybe Sue will come around, but if she doesn’t, that might not be so important to Marcus. His Sol accepts everyone just as they are, even Atheists like Tamerlane. He’s abandoned the rigid orthodoxy of Earth’s Mithraism. After all, he’s been coming around to Campion’s way of thinking this season. It’s a little nauseating that Paul can be understanding of Marcus, but he outright hates Sue and wants nothing to do with her simply because “you can’t forgive an Atheist.” Again there is this contrast between the exclusiveness of Paul and the inclusiveness of Campion.Įven Marcus is a little taken aback with Paul. They’re not exactly reestablishing their father-son relationship, but like Father and Hunter, they are at least buddies now. ![]() We start out with Paul and Marcus having a chat. Make it right! Inclusiveness and Exclusiveness Selina Jones is playing the character of “Grandmother,” described as “a divine android, built thousands of years ago by members of the lost civilization that existed in Kepler-22b.” To be fair, with this show, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, no doubt. The early press materials announcing new cast members for Season 2 pretty well ruined this particular reveal for those of us neck-deep in the lore. Ah, right, sorry, I’ve been dabbling in spoiler material and not telling you. It’s been pointed out to me that some of you are probably asking “who is Grandmother?” right now. And in the midst of all this change, Grandmother appears on stage, possibly taking control of Father. The beginning of Marcus losing control over his faction. Opposing programs vying for control of the Collective. Parents trying to control their children. Per the title, this episode is all about control. I was honestly enjoying having Raised by Wolves back on the screen so much that I didn’t even realize how the story had just been coasting along until now. Three episodes of setting up dominoes, and then this one comes along and just arm-sweeps them all off the table. I mean, just…wow! This episode blew the lid off of everything.
