So, the Kebler 22b is located 587 light-years from Sol. And we learned that the androids were able to travel there in one year, making their method of travel fastest in the galaxy or then they used a worm hole to skip time and space.
Seeing from above shot it's a notion that isn't mention in the series. The second ship arrived thirteen years later. Even by that standard it is a tremendous achievement, but what bothers me is that they were all in sleep during that time. There is nothing that says the vessel they occupied had any different technology than what the androids used.
Nothing. In fact, the scout vessel they used is lesser technology than the mother ship. Sure it's fast, but not really much more advanced in other bits. But overall it makes me wonder why Kebler-22b when they could chosen other exoplanetary locations closer to Sol and the time would have made much more sense.
The society they left behind on Earth was much, much more advanced than a one-planet species. That is certain from the technological perspective. Even the shelter fabricator that Father throws on the ground for Mother to settle in is a notion that humanity spread far beyond the boundaries of the Earth - Moon system.
Frankly I started thinking Asimov's Robots and how Raised by Wolves is tip of hat to the Foundation series we are never going to get, since AMZ cancelled the whole thing. What I really like is that even at the eve of total destruction, the humanity somehow managed a way to survive. And their biggest thing were creation of androids ... in their image.
The robots could have been like the one from I AM MOTHER and it would have been fine. But instead of that we got these freakish examples of Mother and Father. And personally I feel for Father. He built whole thing, whole settlement for the family out of love.
The family is everything to him, while to Mother it's something else. Maybe it's the Mother thing because at the end, she returns with new kids to replace the others that were lost during the pioneering years.
Ragnar is alive. Long live King Rangar ... in space! I was totally surprised by the appearance of our beloved actor in a role that suits him. It's also kind of funny that Travis Fimmol must have shot this soon after his time in the Vikings ended, as this series has been three years in the production.
What I don't get is why he thought Mother was a low-end service model and why he took the other androids word for it, when the case was different and she ended up being a Necromancer.
I was horrified by what she did in the ship and how efficiently she disposed all meat and blood sacs. A time-lord once claimed that the sonic-technology is the ultimate technology in the universe, but to me it's just part of the bigger family of advanced technologies. Many that were present in the ship, like holographic chambers, antigravity, advanced single-stage orbiters, the computers systems to river android AI's.
There is a lot in this series that we haven't really seen in the other SF series. But one thing is certain, that planet, the Kebler 22b is not dead. It's still alive even if they haven't encountered life in the pioneering years.
