Would be pretty disappointing if they don't continue the story. Father is going to find himself in the middle of a situation with Grandmother. Let me know what you thought about Episode 8 and Season 2 in general.

I like how the story keeps flip-flopping on who the good and bad guys are. They seem to like to suck you in on one narrative then switch it as more information is revealed.

So if the tree in the tropical zone was a “hardwire” to the entity at the core of the planet, and the serpent eating the tree weaponized it….then what would happen if you drove a nail through a human and into the tree, basically had a hardwire running right through him. Maybe this upside down floating Markus, is the entity taking over his dead body.

I was really sad to see number seven desperately trying to connect with mother.

When Father discovered Grandmother it looked like she had been destroyed for a reason. History will eventually repeat itself for her I think.

Ridley Scott/Aaron Guzikowski use of scale is such a visual treat. I love the casting of Grandmother as it reminds me of the Engineers from Prometheus. Xenomorphs hiss and spit, Predators roar and howl, but Engineers and Shepherds stare, looking down on you without a word and the point still comes across.

This show is the equivalent to a Rubik's cube. The more you predict it the more it changes. A real masterpiece of Sci-Fi interacting our minds with a package of science and religious sincretism. Welcome Season 3 and the following ones. What a pleasure for our eyes and minds. Thank you Aaron Guzikowski and Ridley Scott. What a combo!

My theory is that the planet is a prison. The Entity is that giant ball of glowing lava or whatever -- "Sol." It has tried for thousands of years to manipulate humans into helping it escape. Those efforts have failed, and the Entity believes that's largely because humans are so short-lived. That's why it was so excited to see Mother in Series 1, after saying that it had been alone for so long. Devolved humans aren't smart enough to be useful.

It seems like Sol and Grandmother are parallels of Mother and Trust. Both wanted to save humanity using two different methods. Grandmothers solution was to turn them into animals simpler and easier to manage and Sols solution was to turn them into believers radicalized and easier to manage. Both sides seemed to be willing to take agency out of humanities hands in order to preserve humanity.

The ending definitely left a lot of unanswered questions. Hopefully we do indeed get a third season.

The title made me laugh out loud. 100% agreed. Hoping they'll announce a full renewal for the remaining 4 seasons

I’m afraid of a possible confrontation between Father and Grandmother testing whether he truly is the toughest Service Model ever built. It would be cool if he finds out he was a Necromancer/Necromonger but I think it serves the story better that he remains ‘just’ a generic service model, because someone has to do the parenting.

Some religious observations and/or potential answers: - Shepherds protect lambs from the wolves, but lead the lamb to the slaughter - St. Peter was crucified upside down, not Paul. Also, the Anti-Christ would be crucified inverted as Marcus was and he also received the “Lance” of Longinus/Lucius wound inverted. - The whole story seems to be unraveling as an inversion of Christian Mythology/Religion - Grandmother’s cowl/veil ended up becoming Mother’s burial shroud - Mother was a virgin during Campion’s miraculous birth and through her dark proton tears’ gave Campion the gift of ever-lasting life - The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge, Grandmother is the path of Life, Mother and Father are the path of Knowledge - Another inversion, this time the Serpent devoured the fruit (and the whole tree) - The Serpents that originally existed on the planet were bound to the earth, whereas Seven (a sacred number associated with perfection and God) was free of original sin and retained the power of flight - The Tree that sprouted from Seven’s corpse appears to have become The Tree of Death (inversion) - There is a fine line between Good and Evil, and it appears to constantly shift - I think the fruit the colonists ate will help them devolve or lose knowledge - They say that technology will advance to the point that it appears as magic or The Power of God, obviously consciousness and technology on Kepler 22b has advanced to that point there way before humans “appeared” on Earth - Jesus had 12 disciples (brothers/siblings) as does Campion - Mother destroyed Paradise/Heaven on Earth by killing the Serpent (7), or you could say that the colonists have been kicked out of Eden - Vrille’s text and Campion’s incomplete copy may certainly become part of the New Genesis Bible, like the Gnostic Gospel of Mary - By the way, Vrill energy is weird rabbit hole to go down… - There are a lot of connections with numerology throughout the series - Striking down Seven is very similar to Satan’s expulsion from Heaven - Necromancers are magicians that raise the dead, Lamia raised Campion from death, and inversely was a killing machine on Earth - Inversions and dualities are abound in this series, yet the lines blur and reveal more complexities as time goes on, which is a legitimate critique of religions and humanities desire to make sense of life - Father’s jokes are a blatant homage or signal towards, amongst many others in the series, of Zen - Lucius is interchangeable with Lucifer, as is Longinus and Lucius - The devolved humans are similar to demons, live near the core (Which looked a lot like how Hell has been represented for hundreds of years) and for the most part, only come out at night - Mother, Father, and Seven ( A Trinity ) entered hell and then ascended into Paradise/Heaven the “Tropic Zone” - Inversion, the Atheist’s were already in Paradise, whereas the Mythraics crashed and perished in Purgatory, the cold, unprotected part of the planet… Lmao, I could go on and on and on for days, but yeah, this series is really fun and enjoyable work of art and hopefully will be recognized as the masterpiece that it is!!

The bad vibes I was getting from Granny were justified in this episode. There had better be another season to answer what the heck is going on! I was totally freaking out, when Marcus floats upside down. I'm left with more questions. One thing I am sure of is that Granny needs to be turned off.

Incredible season 2. I love the way they tie science and religion together. Marcus floating like a upside down cross really giving me those antichrist vibes. Which is really interesting when you consider the way mother floats is the exact opposite. Now the mother android has even become religious symbol on a athiest necklace. Fascinating potential for season 3.

I love how the core is like “down the road”. we can all assume that road is at least a quarter (probably just under half) of the planets diameter. So like 1000 miles if Kepler is tiny compared to earth, that elevator would take a year to get down there.

It's interesting that Marcus was portrayed upside down in the T shaped crucfix position as a symbol of the anti christ, opposite to Mother when she enters her weaponized mode and saves people.

If we call the tree that Sue became the “Tree of Life” can we call the dead tree that spawned out of number 7 the “Tree of Death”? Makes Marcus “resurrection” a little more scary for me :). Great job with this season Pete!! 👍🏻

This show is taking cliffhangers to stratospheric heights...

We better get a third season.

This episode was frustrating as hell. Most of the directions people thought this was going were red herrings (Vita), and the floating upside down Marcus...HUH?

Probably a coincidence, but at the end of the first season, when Lucius tried to kill Marcus, he became more powerful. Now, when he tried to kill him, he became a flying corpse or, maybe, he's even more powerful.

awesome stuff. your video made me feel like I've snoozed throughout most of this season, learned more from your video than the actual show lol

Maybe the ones who ate from the tree will become imune to devolving? Because what Grandmother wants is that humans devolve into that sea creature, so I am guessing that Sol wants something that works the opposit way... it would make sense. Also, seems to me that it was part of Sol's plan that Mother killed n7, since it was part of Marcus transformation, and it was also Sol who guided that guy (forgot his name) to "punish" Marcus that way, using the tree that grew from n7 dead body... Sol was probably already expecting Grandmother to help Mother to kill it?

I'm wondering if Mother will re-establish contact with the Campion Sturges entity, now that she is back in a simulation, last time was crazy!!

I haven't see any of the episodes, just reviews, but when it's said and done I'll have one hell of a binge.

Pete Peppers, you’ve got a great presentation voice for this genre. Please keep up the great work and strive for reviews on more SciFi shows, as you expand the analysis so well! 👍👍

Great summary, I gave up trying to puzzle it out on my own and enjoyed your take on the possibilities.

Great, engaging analysis in this video!

The great thing is that we saw the Thiccest Grandmother in TV history.

Reeeeeally hoping we get a 3rd season. I just binged this season over the past 2 days from learning of it's release and I can't get enough. Thanks for your episode breakdowns! I love shows like this where I have to go online to make sure I didn't miss anything in the episodes because of their complexity

Love your title for this vid!

This can’t get canceled 😫😫😫 I haven’t seen good tv in such a long time. Enjoying every second of this. It’s insane!!!

I absolutely love this show and feel kinda heart broken we have to wait for Season 3 now. (And will there even be a season 3. As underrated as this show is, i fear the lack of popularity will spell its doom) I have a theory about Grandmothers other ability. When she was looking at Tempest while she was pregnant. The baby showed up in Grandmothers veil, you see some things happening in the veil and then Tempest grabs her belly like the baby is kicking. I think this was Grandmother's secret ability and that ability is she can change the genetics of human babies and make them devolve. She can't do this with adults, but she can do it to babies still in the womb. So it wasn't the Sea Creatures milk that changed the baby, it was Grandmother wanting it to devolve into a sea creature to be safe from the entity. I think the "Game" she was handing out to the humans is how she will make the adult humans devolve. Its not a "game" its a program to edit humans. That's why after they have all played the game they find their skin changing and starting to adapt to the acid sea water. I can't work out the deal with the Technocrats, but Grandmother talking to the camp Merchant about "Atheists will grasp onto anything to believe in and pray too" i took as a hint to she was talking about her Atheistic Technocrat masters who wound up being corrupted by a voice in their head (The Entity)

07:05 Those whispering voices to me sounded like Tally, at least the one that stood out from the others.

RIDLEY SCOTT is set to direct the sequel to the RAISED BY WOLVES season 2 ending a frustrating ending LAMIA the android is trapped in the simulation. A final film to conclude this fascinating story.

This season as well as the show has been based on Father's joke about Evolution. " it gets better.. and better...and better. "

“So, it MIGHT be important.” I think this is the most real take you can give about anything in this show.

So people will Devolve through a virtual simulation game during a "stay at home" time @Metaverse

Can't believe we, the fans, will just have to sit and wait to know if there will be a season 3. When grandmother told mother that she will make sure mother understands everything, Im wondering if that means that mother will experience the history of the planet in that SIM. I can't imagine that no one will go looking for mother. Father did run into grandmother in that room with the SIM pods when she claimed to be repairing it. Hopefully he will put 2 and 2 together. I also love that father told grandmother that he is dedicated to mother.

what an amazing final episode. Mother by wearing the veil takes away his program of feelings towards the giant snake destroys him by her cry. A tragic ending for 7 Killed By His Mother. In season 3 we will have a confrontation between Lamia and Grandma who will win?

Been waiting for HOURS on this one, PETE! Let's get into it.... 🥳🍿🎯

Loved it. Ready for what’s next.

Immediately after the credits a few of the crew discuss the show and one of the producers mentions season 3, so hopefully she is correct. I’d hate to left hanging when we know full well there is so much more of this story. I hope eventually the writer publishes books.

NEED SEASON 3 T O D A Y

Incredible show. I am full of questions, but it is coherent, fresh, and I am still satisfied even when I do not know all the answers.

Bro how they gonna end a season with even MORE questions unanswered

It's a weird series. I'm most definitely addicted to it - now, onwards to season 3 ... please!

I thought the 4th episode was more of a season finale than this one! It left ALOT of loose ends

when you what the a1/s1 you can tell it's Champian telling the story about his parents, sounding like they were already gone.

Bad call by Mother to shut down the Trust, I am pretty sure it would have understood the possible danger Grandmother posed. There is not very much left to be working in humanity's favor, with Mother on ice, Sol running wild and Grandmother operating at full power. The Trust was probably among Earth's greatest achievenments as far as computational power is concerned and now mankind gets to go up against not just one, but two beyond human intelligences without one of their own. Sorry, not counting Father, he is pretty solid, literally, but certainly not much of a tactician. But I do have to say that the episode did not make much sense at one point. Mother keeping the veil for no reason felt very illogical and out of character and it was pretty clear that the veil has no mind-control capabilities, just the capability to shield stuff in more ways than one. It stood out as a moment that was just done to progress the plot.

No announcement of a third season, No We need this masterful show to continue!

They plan 5 seasons so if this show gets cancelled it's obviously because this show is revealing our real history and the Government is trying to cover it up so we don't hate Sol that way in the future we will return to Kepler and it will all start over 🤔 I'm too smart i see the truth now

Basically devolving with grandmother and evolving with sol both evil androids who went out of control …. Sol is buried in the core

the message of this episode is, video game devolved you

Campion and the baby never ate the fruit. The only people that were shown to adapt to the acid water was Campion and Tempest baby. :)

Impressed with the fanbase for this show. We figured out everything except Marcus' "Crucinversion". That's what I'm calling it.

yeah pete been waiting bro

the final scene made her scream DAVID

Love the vid bro ❤️ did anybody else catch the Norse references in this episode? Odin was hanged from the world tree in for 9 days and 9 nights and in doing so he was given the knowledge of the runes (mysteries) So maybe Marcus will be either be a REAL prophet but not likely he will be a host body for SOL to enact his final plan Also the Norse mythology would help explain the giant snake holes (jormungandr the giant snake that destroys the world in ragnarok)

This episode was insane! I hope we hear the announcement for Season three soon...the creators have said they have enough story to do five seasons.

LAST BIT IS BEST PART IN ALL SEASON

Before S2, I guessed it would only get weirder. I was not disappointed on that point! 😂

Great analysis. i think for sure Marcus is being possessed by the Entity. Very much similar to a Ghostbusters 2 Vigo the Carpathian. I think its also funny that everyone who believes the Entity is good calls it "Sol", and all those who realize it's an enemy say "the Entity".

S1E2 shows painting of Marcus’s fate/destiny in house of original Sue/Marcus

What? Episode 8 was the season finale? I kept waiting for episode 9, as the new twist of events was quite exciting indeed! Strange I didn't even realise this was the season finale!

@8:07 of this video we see the cards. Notice the Star with the swirl inside, (the Star is the game grandmother encourages and the swirl is often used for hypnotism.

LOL love the title!

There was a painting in the real marcus house on earth that shows that same upside down crucifixion. Ep0102 if Im not mistaking. A lot of christians were killed that way in the beginning of Christianity, including Paul or Peter, I´m not sure.

Couldn't that tree just be the same "Sue" tree that number 7 deep throated?? Which is why Marcus reacted strangely to be nailed to it?

Mother’s name being lamia is interesting, and a little ironic because (this may not be related) but in Ancient Greek mythology lamia was the name of a child devouring sea monster.

Will there be a season 3?

intro theme “pulling you from the sky, just like love will do” So, mother brings #7 above the clouds. In the previous season “pulling you from the ground, just like love will do” So, mother brings #7 to the core.

That episode did not seem like a season finale. Feels like there should be several more episodes for this season. Fantastic episode though. Lots of answers that only created more questions though.

I really wish I hadn’t watched this show until the final season was out. I hate cliffhangers.

I mean, the season was good, but i am unsure where are they taking Campions character...entity hates him, grandmother saves him specifically...i would be pretty disappointed if his character was meant just to be the one who advocates to being "devolved"...cause thats pretty silly tbh

Even tho gooder isn't a word...this show keeps getting gooder and gooder🤣 😌

The ending is self explanatory given the indigenous life was once human.

anyone else notice that grandmother has a similar speaking pattern to Father

Can't wait for the 3rd!

I found interesting about the scene with 7 and lamia; 7 didn't just try to connect to her ports, it wrapped its tentacles around her arms and legs to hold her so it could take it. It's crazy yo think lamia is stronger than 7. Perhaps not actually, it was still very young and not in control. So maybe it can nuke shit too with its scream, or lighting. Perhaps the serpent could even be modded in different ways. Maybe that was just one version. Seems likely they will go with the idea sol is like the trust just much more advanced and buried in the core of the planet. Probably by humans to protect themselves.

No.7 was trying to warns Champion about the sea creatures

So many in answered questions

That’s what grandmother looks like??!! 👀❤️

great concepts, great comments... (in the conversation between father and grandmother at the seashore there's an enormous tip my friends!!! Go there again!!!)

This show could be a masterpiece as long as they do give us some answers instead of just raising new questions, even if it takes big reveal exposition scenes... So far I'm completely invested in this show, the great stuff about it outweighs the bad by a huge margin!

I just feel a wierd sympathy for mother , she is a litteral brilliant kind and by far the best protector either for kids or for the governing stuff

Before my theory was that Sol is the one that devolve the Kepler human, but after this episode it seems that I had it backwards. Now we know for sure that the AI or androids of ancient Technocrats is the one that did it, because it's trying to preserve humanity at all costs. I think Sol is not as sinister as we once thought, Sol is definitely an AI made by a civilization before the Kepler human. I think it's creator already figured out that the cycle of destruction and rebirth of civilization is inevitable, thus instead of avoiding it at all cost like the Technocrats, they tried to preserve it. Sure the civilization will collapse, but the remaining human can still rebuild, and Sol is there to guide them and soften the incoming apocalypse so they won't be wiped out, even if that means it has to initiate the apocalypse itself. This cycle has probably gone long enough to the point that the Kepler human made a religion around it. After all human been devolved, Sol has no purpose anymore, so it remains dormant. Now that there's a batch of human available, it's trying to start the cycle again.

Sue is part of the lifestream now, she gonna commune with those who ate her fruit, in hopes of repelling Jenova. 😎

I miss Vrille, poor campion

Wow, that was a crazy ending scene!!! 😲

The way they discontinued the series…. I’m so sad

I like that they did not try to wrap thins up it a bow. I suspect that they were enough survivors to defeat Grandmother a million years ago but there were not enough left to survive long term would doom them or for them to escape the planet as shown and maybe somehow bread with protohuman on earth. OK, I am trying to tie this together as well. Fighting grandmother for centuries could have wiped out humans too. I think grandmother is misguided in he programming.

Marcus is the new upside down jesus 😂

Its a fantastic show and I think the reason we arnt seeing the full detail on the history of K 22b is probably cos that would end the show so this will stretch for the proposed 5 seasons giving us various other bits of info and philosophical ideas along the way...wat stands out to me and did right from season 1 is that this is a very bold story with many parallels around the biblical Eden and faith..cant help but wonder if this could get the show embroiled in controversy and cancelled as a result..really hope not...I am feeling this way especially after the "resurrection" of Marcus who was crucified upside down and the first thing that came to my mind was the "Anti-christ"...Its painting a very evil and sinister picture of that which ppl believe to be "God".

I cant wait to find out what happens from here...

This is definitely one of the best sci-fi series I've ever seen: my admiration to the creators and all those who bring it to life. I am just sad about one thing, though: the 1st season was only 10 episodes; the 2nd one, a meager 8 episodes; next season, perhaps just 6? Less? This is indeed a generalised trend: making TV series only a few episodes long. Contrary to a common belief, it is NOT about budgeting: it is about the short attention span disorder that most people suffer from, nowadays, because of smartphone addiction, internet abuse, videogames, and thought fragmentation induced by relentless short/quick stimuli from social media. In simple words, make a TV series 15 or 20 episodes long (as they used to be) and most people will drop off after a few episodes or won't even consider watching it, because thir attention will wander, and they can't focus on anything long enough. Like Aaron Guzikowski said "8 episodes is now the new 10". SAD!

Now knowing the ending of season 1 and season 2, could you make a video to see where this series is going ? Could you analyze both seasons to make a hypothesis of the future of this series ?

What about that station that got dragged into the ocean? What did that? I hope they get into it. Can't wait for a season 3.

One of my favorite shows of all time. Can’t wait for season 3
