the voice comes from the intelligent 'Snake', it reach people by radioactive method, and it(they) maybe sol itself, so powerful to manipulate people's mind

[@peterleite9832]

Ridley Scott used game references like Destiny and Dark Souls through the show acoding to Amanda Collin in her last interview, the bones of Ahamkara dragons can mess up with the thoughts and lead to insanity in the Destiny series from Bungie as well on Raised by Wolves l, and actual Dragons or worms of Ahamkara they are very powerful, they are like Jins, granting wishes, just like the Mother's maker at the sleeping pods, aways mischievous and violent.

[@gbizzy9922]

something that wasn't brought up that brings support to the notion that Campion will be a powerful force in the coming seasons against the serpent creature/force/energy, is that in addition to the serpent recoiling in Mother's stomach in response to Campion speaking to it, something that was brought up but never explained was that Campion was the only child who was able to survive eating the radioactive crops. All of the other original children on Kepler 22b were killed off by it at a very young age, but Campion continued to grow and prosper because of something special in his biology that allows him to tolerate radioactive food. The fact that he is named Campion, after the original Campion Sturges, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Campion Sturges knew about the falsity of 'Sol' because he somehow interacted in a way with the serpent energy/5th power and understood its' intentions, and performed some type of bioengineering to make Campion biologically superior than other humans in counteracting this evil serpent energy. After all, whenever any of the Mithraic believers heard the voice in their head--the guy who raped all the women on the Ark, Fake Marcus, or Paul--they were manipulatable enough to believe in Sol and act on the voices they heard. However, when the evil serpent energy tries to convince Campion to kill himself to join the other children, Campion resists and remains devout in his atheistic belief. I think this shows that Campion will be the only one who can truly defeat the serpent energy, and perhaps because Campion Sturges understood the neverending cycle that was occurring, realized that removing this dark photon energy from the future was a requirement for the survival of humankind into the future, and bioengineered Campion to be the one capable of doing so

[@joaomiranda7306]

Very interesting insight, but it needs just one small correction: Campion's belief system is progressing into some kind of pantheism or panentheism, not atheism. So he didn't "remain devout in his atheistic belief", but rather stuck with his pantheism or panentheism.

[@daniel4647]

I found it very interesting. It was like watching a highly logical but naive person figuring out for the first time that women care about children but have no real emotional attachment to men and how to deal with it. This is really mirrored in their whole relationship where Father understands he needs to be useful or Mother will get rid of him, and she even kills him when he does not agree with her. In those last scenes it finally comes to a conclusion when he realizes there was never anything between them beyond him serving her and the family and his emotional attachment to her was not shared. Even in the conversation after it's brought up again when he says that who she is now is not the same person as on the ship before there was children. Something most men experience after a child is brought into the equation. The whole "cheating" thing is just the final straw that causes him to realize what he had know all along, like he said when he questions if she had ever really cared for him. Then he finally accepts his role and goes back to wanting to "be useful" in the final scene. They're doing a very good job of mimicking a real human relationship. It's a very clever way of doing it in these tense times because if they had been humans the audience would have sided with one party over the other and people would have gotten upset and not been able to comprehend the whole perfectly mirrored and simplified human relationship they're having. Having it presented in this way can help people see that this is the natural progression of a human relationship without getting their personal feelings and ideas about what it should be like and who's to blame for what and so on involved. They use this trick in sci-fi all the time, they disassociate you from the actual message by using non-human characters, seems it still works pretty well.

After looking at the scene in this episode of the metal head by the old box... and after mother takes the helmet off, its appears to necromancer skull. My theory is in the past ,the hooded cult was using necromancers imprisoned in these boxes as incubators for these serpents. Looks like the metal helmets were put on the necros backwards to prevent them from using their scream powers . The combination of the metal box and helmet allows only one exit for the snake ....the back of necromancers skull. And if that was a necro head....why didn't mother grab the eyes out for her weapon mode?

[@ytsm]

Noice! 👍🏼

[@NecrOS177]

I think, the helmet was properly fitted on the head of the android and the opening was on the face around the mouth. I also believe that it was the same thing with religion that lead to this. These snakes probably had some sort of telekinetic powers and played with the minds of the people who lived there making them build these androids to create a hybrid and there were actually 2 factions as it was on the Earth. I think those atheists sent two androids to earth to create humanity but somehow got the voice with them.

[@kalahariblue2328]

[@QuasarAGN]

The snakes might be what powers their planets core, as snakes started going extinct(possibly their own fault), their planet began to slowly die. They became more violent causing them to become more religious. Then they tried to breed more snakes, which resulted in failure. The only option was to send a mission to the only other planet that could harbor life as they know it, earth. Campeon is the first one to figure this out and sends back mother and father.

Guys does no one notice that all the people hearing the voice hear it because of emotional distress. there is also my theory that this voice kills mentally unstable people. Like the guy burn by the rock. Yet it didn't burn that boys hand. If you are guilty (people with seriously hidden baggage)it feeds of of you. if you are innocent. It has no power over you. Hearing the voice is not a good thing it turns you crazy. Yet these people still think it is God and follow it

Also, thanks for explaining what was happening in the vision! You are right, the skull she finds is very similar to an android, maybe even specifically a Necromancer like her! I didn't make the connection the one in the vision that's trapped in dodecahedron was probably pregnant like the Mother! That makes a lot of sense! Maybe, the temple dodecahedron in the desert has one giant snake actually trapped in it too.

[@crozraven]

+ tbh, I was expecting a hybrid of something of a vampiric alien & android, not a literal serpent-like creature LOL + In Dark Souls series (games), the "primordial serpents" are a very intelligent smart & cunning serpent-like creatures that basically manipulate behind the scenes & have a pivotal roles to the world's (planet) destiny. So maybe this other godly beings who manipulate other intelligent beings are in similar effects, manipulating the minds for their own agenda? + I think Campion is "the leader" of the "pack" (yes, yes, obvious metaphor for wolves here), but he is not the "chosen one." There is really no "chosen one" as pretty much both Marcus & Paul confirmed to be infected with hallucination from other "godly beings" in the end, they do make their own paths. + Once again, I think both the "serpent" & the giant pentagon cube are different entities & I still think that pentagon cube is a super computer made by the native people to counter this other godly being's hallucination & whispers. + Looking at it again, it's not just Mithraic & Christianity mythos, but also somewhat Norse mythology. Jormungandr (giant serpent) is the child of Loki (The "trickster" god) & Angrboda (female jotunn/giantess). Not only that, Angrboda also birthed the "wolves" AKA Fenrir. If we take a look at this mythos, then: - Loki: Trickster god, hallucination being, the so called "Sol." - Angrboda: powerful jotunn, powerful android/necromancer, basically "Mother." Also named "Lamia," another greek mythlogy name after a hybrid snake creature. - Fenrir: the wolves. Campion & his pack - Odin: a prophetic god who lose his eye. Maybe it represent "Marcus?" He didn't lose his eye, but he was kinda dying from eating an eye, symbolically baptized in dying & rebirth from it. + the metal tarot card pretty much revealed also the past memories of the natives people trying to contained the "serpent" birth via that cube incubator. Once again kinda proved there is a conflict between pentagon cube & the godly beings that trying to birth a "serpent." This is also why the hallucination & whispers made Marcus didn't kill mother & stabbed himself, while Paul being whispered to burn the tarot cards.

[@dalanium98]

pretty cool!

[@csav1551]

Interesting for you to say dark souls universe because that is what I thought of first when I heard Sol and the Norse mythology is really interesting as it lines up pretty good now that you mention it.I would also add to this list the man playing god by creating life because this is one of Ridley Scotts favorite subjects.

[@MeCitadel]

Praise the Sol.

[@homedogoli]

I think Marcus may end up still being the Prophet, it's possible that something else was responsible for a few of his visions and signs. A few of them seem to stand out from the rest. For example: when he asks for a sign from Sol and sees the church burning (after Campion sets it alight); When he has a vision of the golden scalpel and his wife bleeding out from the stomach; when he peels off his own face; when he sees Hunter being bitten by the snake; and finally, when asking for another sign, he sees the lander and it leads him directly to the atheists. Those are all pretty different from the manipulative stuff from the serpent, instead of being about ensuring the birth of the snake, they seem to be warning him that he's on the wrong path. And that he needs to stop pretending to be something he's not. The burning of the church is almost like what he's doing is an abomination (because he's following a false god). Peeling his face off is telling him to stop pretending to be the Mithraic. Leading him back to the atheists and hoping he starts getting the hint (he's not lol).

[@ronjasonaborita5358]

I wanted to know why the devolved humans would help produce the serpent. Remember the dodecahedron with the necromancer?

[@Lightwish01]

@Thinkstory: An excellent analysis! Zero errors! In fact many other channels messed things up by misinterpretation of certain scenes. Looper screwed it up completely calling the Atheist ship at the end another Mithraic Ark. Anyways I would have liked to have seen you address Cody’s transformation after swallowing the white blood from Mothers eye that transformed him similar to Otho. You can see his veins have turned black and begun to bulge, likely giving him additional powers. Other than that, great job!

As long as they tell their own story, who cares if they're connected. So far it definitely seems like they're cresting toward a totally original and new story, that may or may not tie into alien in a probably minor way. Even if it does connect in a big way, again, there's enough of an original story for it to stand on it's own, so connecting to alien would just be icing.

My predictions based on some hints.. • The Sol is a kind of AI or an alpha type necromencer or a very high tech alien's android. • Sol and the necromencer are originated from planet Kepler-22b. • The skull mother discovered in the cave right before she gave birth is a necromencer skull. • Marcus & Paul can hear the voice/whisper of Sol because there is a device planted in their head that Sol can connect to. • The serpent is Sol's pet.

[@pel..-]

When the serpent was littler I think mother was scared to kill it there, as it was already leeching on her. The lander is probably like weather resistant or some shit and probably a very strong metal as it didn't seem to be damaged whereas mother and father were starting to melt. The serpent probably leeched off of the magma or something along those lies, and we'll probably learn about this season 2.

[@Darthyoof]

Well the lander made it through the atmosphere and is highly advanced , even though it’s far fetched to make it through a core

[@TangoNevada]

@1234 Based on the fact that Father discovered a Neanderthal Skull on Kepler 22B (Which wasn't from Earth) what I think they are suggesting is that the Human race at some point will eventually reach the point where they both make their current planet uninhabitable but also possess the tech to travel to the nearest planet that can support human life (ie: K22B). So they go there. And once they get there it starts over until they need to leave that planet and go to the nearest planet...ie: Earth - Which by now has recovered without human interference. Then they fuck up earth and need a new place and find Kepler 22b as the nearest Goldilocks planet and go there to start over, but as humans do, they screw that plant up. But by the time they do, Earth is healed again. And so on and so on. So what I think they are trying to say (In the most convoluted way) is the Hunan race has been bouncing back and forth between Earth and Kepler 22B as needed, each time they make one planet uninhabitable and have the tech to reach the nearest. In the time it takes them to screw up the planet they are on, the other one heals and is ready for new life, so they ping pong back and forth over and over. So I think they are implying the human race has been bouncing back and forth between Kepler 22B and Earth for at Least one rotation, but in theory it may have been going on for eons and many times (Most likely). And Sol could be some kind of lost or misunderstood technology left behind by the previous inhabitants.

[@zenithquasar9623]

@@amphithere That's still called evolution. Evolution by natural selection is the change in a species over time due to natural selection and other pressures. However you survive in accordance with your environment is what you are likely to evolve to or adapt features to it. Evolution is misunderstood as linear progression from simple to complex which often is interpreted as worse to better. But "better" has more to do with adaptation to your surroundings to survive and successfully continue to reproduce in a healthy number. It is not about having certain abilities that are independent of your environment. Eg: having legs is not necessarily a superior trait intrinsically. If the ground was made of jello, then it would be pretty useless, even though it might be more complicated in its design in comparison to crawling with your spine.
