Six episodes into a season that is slated to be eight episodes long, and the narration mainly focuses on preparing all the pieces for the grand finale. This isn’t the best episode in the series, but it has some great scenes and a lot of tension.
Episode 6: “The Tree” was directed again by Alex Gabbasi and written by series creator Aaron Jozikowski, both of whom announced their enthusiasm for the episode. Fans are encouraged to check out Within the tropics Specials on HBO Max to hear them stream their creativity.
There are a lot of persistent emerging attitudes in and around the atheist community in Kepler-22b. Download Tempest, New Robot Dad project, Capture of Marcus, Sue’s Surprising Role, Campion’s Questionable Beliefs, Number Seven, Lucius’ Revenge, and much more. Some of these long-running storylines are paid for in this episode, but most are preserved and upgraded at a later time. Most of the actors are angry and tense, danger is around every corner, there are a lot of unsolved mysteries, and the following episodes will have a lot of interest. Although most of this episode is dedicated to raising stakes, there are some scenes that tie this episode together really well.
The all-new Mithraic organization Marcus founded is torn to shreds by a single vengeful Android ring, putting the seemingly unstoppable False Prophet in a vulnerable position. Marcus is captured by the combined efforts of father and former follower Lucius, with the promise that Lucius will get his revenge. It was starting to look as if Marcus’ armor-filled immortality had finally run out, but this state of danger was short-lived. Rather than simply getting rid of him, the mother seeks to force him to repudiate his religion in front of the children. Of course, he’s out of his ties within an hour. He’s starting to strain to disbelieve how good things always seem to Marcus. He always survives, runs, and perseveres without issue, rarely succeeding at any advantage of his own. This time is no exception, he was not saved by cunning or cunning, but because another member of the atheist group found Sol.
The last episode of Sue featured some of her character’s best moments thus far. Unfortunately, you don’t get the breathing room you deserve. In desperation, she reached out to the last episode to save Paul’s life and found an answer she wasn’t prepared for. This revelation and success led her to abruptly embrace the faith wholeheartedly. It’s a big moment for her, but such a big change in such a short time is a little hard to buy. The way you now interact with Marcus is more difficult to buy, they are suddenly a happy couple that is more functional than it has ever been. Sue was an atheist freedom fighter, and had faked the Mithraik membership to escape from Earth. It’s not entirely unreasonable for her mind to be changed, especially by what she considers a miracle, but the way she practices her new belief is strange. This is all heading towards a weird and massive change to her character that won’t spoil here, but aspects of the way she’s written feel a bit rushed. It’s unfortunate, especially considering how well the final episode was filmed for her.
Speaking of sudden and unexplored turns toward faith, Campion’s sudden embrace of Sol is nothing short of great. Viewers saw the boy being rescued by Dad’s new robot, but Campion was convinced that it was Seol who intervened. This event transformed him from a neutral agnostic to a full-throated supporter of the Mithraik cause. Now that the project of a robot father, a.k.a. Grandma, has become something of a character alike, one might think that discovering her would change his mind. Campion meets Grandma and immediately confirms the truth, but it has no noticeable effect on his new faith. He even declared that Seol had nothing to do with his survival. Hopefully the show unlocks that change, especially as the mom seeks to put the boy in charge of what’s left of The Collective.
There are items that have been handled in strange ways, but that is fairly common in this unusual series. This episode feels like a bridge, between the awesome space horror of Episode 5 and the epic outcome that we hope will come. Items feel rushed, but moments that need an emotional reward have sweeping orchestral music and powerful feedback. It’s a fantastic sci-fi TV, bending genres, exploring every clever idea he has, sometimes focusing on strange aspects of his narrative. Final episodes of Raised by wolves’ The second season will need to do some artistic magic and storytelling at the highest level in no time to achieve satisfactory results. If any show could pull it off, it was he who managed to push the envelope that far.
