The episode was OK. I could live without all of the romance drama. Wendy was OK - but it will be more interesting to meet who programmed her. The real highlight of the episode was learning more about 3. It really humanized him.
Haha some of the lines in that episode, brilliant. Good stuff, interesting character development as well. Keep it going!
The crew finally figures out the room that has been the focus of Three's attention and interest. The room is a cargo room, full of weapons, etc, etc, but also comes with a frozen human and an "entertainment" android.
Three's obession with the room reconnects him to his past. The frozen woman is his (former) lover with a terminal disease, Three/Marcus had placed her in statis to extend her life for a possible cure. She saved him after being left behind for dead, she nursed him back to life and fell in love. It's interesting to see Three in an emotionally compromised situation, as he's only even been portayed as a cold-hearted, opportunistic SOB. We are shown that Three does have a heart, it was just frozen inside a dying woman. When they thawed her, they also thawed him.
Meanwhile, One focuses his attention (and interest) on the Ent android, after Two rebukes his advances. His integration of the new droid sets up a rivalry with the ships Android, making her feel ignored and unappreciated. This is an interesting notion as the android begins having "human-like" behavior, maybe even possible emotions.
Unbeknownst to the crew, they have opened up Pandora's box: the entertainment android is a trojan horse, revenge on the group from an old target. The android was sent to kill the crew and take control of the ship. Three places Sara in the stasis pod hoping to save her, while he goes out to kill the killerbot, but unfortunately the pod malfunctions, letting her die
Unfortunately for Three, unthawing his heart has caused his love to die, as the disease advanced rapidly and takes hold of her, the very thing that he was trying to prevent when he placed her in stasis. Sara is used to represent his heart, his humanity, that he is much more than a killer.
On the flip side, One's self indulgence, his view of being a "nice guy" who doesn't get the girl, and activating the bot for his amusement has a domino effect that ultimate leads to the death of an innocent woman.
Note: though the bot does notice that Two is physically attracted by One, I dislike that Two makes a move on One after his selfishness lead to the death of another. Also, it feels like it rewards his behavior and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like he is just too much of a nice guy to have to account for his immaturity and their consequences. I don't like One, he is the quitesential nice guy, who is actually an immature, self absorbed who covers himself in victim/nice guy.
Ruby Rose, nice! Can't beat looking at that all hour.
Omg that jealousy when they were eating the food between the two droids was so hilarious. When Android was switching to different accents I couldn't stop laughing. Was brilliant! Also seeing Three (Marcus) having a past love of his life, Sarah, was so adorable and sad at the same time. The fact that the service droid was a trap was pretty predictable but damn, I'd still wanna taste that food.
Great episode!! This show already gets better and better.
AMAZING episode! Really enjoyed this one!
