I will describe this episode simply in “WTF” :exploding_head:
I found this to be mostly a unsatisfying ending.
The season started excited
Ended disappointed
That series finale was a whole lot of disjointed garbage. Another show goes off the rails.
So glad the season's over, and certainly will not be watching the next.
The ending for this season is bad especially where in the last 4 episodes the writing took a deep down compared to the strong first episodes that they've done.
In the beginning of the episode I was afraid that a Alien come out of the Mother and ruin everything, but in the end my ideia was better than the actual end.
A show has to establish its own internal rules in order to present a sense of stakes. This is where Lost went wrong: if it gets to the point where it feels like anything can happen and nothing needs to make sense, it's hard to keep caring about what happens. I really liked how this show started: interesting characters, tense situations. But by the end it lost the thread for sure.
Stunning scale of the universe building. Love it. Finale was shaky and all over the place. Disjointed.
I hope for more potential.
Well this season was like a meal: early episodes were the appetisers getting you ready for the main course in the middle episodes, where Mother becoming the Necromancer was truly delicious and a visual treat, then the later episodes let you digest what they've crammed down your throat, culminating in this complete TURD of a finale. Not a very sophisticated review, but as others have so eloquently summized....W...T...F?!
So this episode either jumped the shark, or started something that will result in a crazy season 2. Hard to say at this point, lol.
Now......Was that World Eater from Greek mythology? Did we start over at 1?
What a freaking weird show...
Apparently most people feel the exact opposite of me. The first half of the show was good (amazing pilot) but it wasn’t till the second half when the mystery was being unfolded and the androids started to gain consciousness that I really got captivated. An unsatisfying ending but I appreciate the weirdness and uniqueness of the story, which I think is why I got a little bored at the beginning of the season since it was all human drama that I’ve seen before.
So .. i watched 10 episodes of this shit to have this ending ??? just lost 10 hours of my life !!!
What the fuck is this show is telling? It's just makes no sense and it's not even makes sense in their own universe. Okay I know you Ridley Scott, you are good SciFi writer, yet this show is just too much swagger. I wouldn't watch it if there wasn' pandemic. By the way good acting and very good scenery and very good idea but just worst writing and directing. Just a TL;DR of this show: A lot of question with no needed answers.
I don't think I've ever felt so ill watching a tv episode.
What a beautiful ending of a beautiful and nicely done tv show. I just love it, and you can really see that this show did cost some money to do. And best of all, i jsut hjeard there is gonna be a season 2.
With all the episodes being pretty good, then having the last episode being so disappointing, it is almost as if someone else wrote it, or it was written in extreme haste because whoever did, had zero imagination for continuity of the story-line. It went for a shitter! Too bad, because I liked it. Until this last episode.
Uh... what the actual fuck?
w t f is going on
Ok, we've reached the end of the first chapter with little revelation and many more questions.
However I'm still very much intrigued, especially since the show has manifested itself to be an eschatological tale, and we're seeing the conflation of known mythologies.
We've seen touches of messianic lore and now this episode, with the official introduction of ouroboros/mehen?... perhaps it's Apep? :astonished:(the serpent) of Egyptian myth... I'm simultaneously perlexed and and excited.
And so a new chapter begins.
WTF?!? Is this a joke?! Are they trolling us?!
So, Mother gave birth to one of the giant serpents that once roamed the planet and went extinct? Why?? What purpose does that serve? Apart from a handful of people, there isn't anything for it to eat anyway, so it will just go extinct again. Is that what it is? The planet's defense system against invaders? Because if it wasn't the digital simulation of Campion (the Creator), who/what impregnated Mother after all?
And what about the prophecy? The very obvious reference to the Virgin Mary and Joseph? Or is it Eve and Adam now that we have a snake? And the revelation that the indigenous population was Neanderthals that devolved into the "creatures" made no sense.
I hope the creator of the series, Aaron Guzikowski, never gets to work writing scripts again.
Answers few questions, raises new ones.
If you think about it the show has some huge plotholes but I'm hooked nevertheless.
I understand why HBO didn't put it in its main cable channel. It is a bit netflixy.
Looking forward to season 2.
- How can we make all viewers stop watching the show after the season finale?
Absolute BS. The entire show is made towards next season. It’s the new Lost. Mysteries upon mysteries with no story of note, just more and more confusion trying to get you to watch another episode.
It’s also full of weak points like mother being super awesome and then becoming useless by a child stealing a pouch from around her neck.
Will not be watching any subsequent seasons.
What a huge disappointment ending.
I think the Mother character was great, the actress did a great job and everything loked stunningly sci-fi heaven.
That being said, the final episode was really dissaponting and I believWHY A SNAKE? A FLYING SNAKE?
I WAS INVESTED AND THEY THREW A FLYING SNAKE???
WHY???
Wow, this truly was a mind bending hour of TV. It elevates the series to a whole another level, with all that was subtly hinted at in the previous episodes suddenly exploding on screen. It sets up a very different season 2, and does this beautifully.
It provides definitive answers to lingering questions, most notably is Sol real. Then whole another universe of mysteries open up (as Father says: we've been ignorant of this planets history), and planet seems a whole lot menacing than it did for the most of the season.
First question that springs up immediately given the similarity in tone and visuals (particularly the birth scene) to Prometheus/Alien, is this really a hidden Alienverse TV show? I know Ridley and Guzikowsky shot down such rumors, but would they really disclose that if there's a plan for it to be revealed later? There really isn't much effort required to set this in Alien universe - only real obstacle being Alien Resurrection that supposedly takes place after RBW.
Given that Prometheus tackled similar questions (seeds of human religion), and that Alien always had prominent android characters, Mother having really strong David vibes... That would really be something else.
The series went very well until the seventh episode, but then they turned on the fuck button. What a ridiculous ending!
Like walking dead, its poop. Thankfully it went to shit faster.
I don’t understand. :asterisk_symbol:clap:asterisk_symbol: I don’t understand. :asterisk_symbol:clap:asterisk_symbol: I don’t understand. I don’t understand. :asterisk_symbol:clap:asterisk_symbol: I don’t understand. :asterisk_symbol:clap:asterisk_symbol: I don’t understand. :asterisk_symbol:clap:asterisk_symbol:
I really don’t understand what is happening.
Hay people, there’s season two coming next year or later, then everything will be cleared :clap_tone2:

I’m not sure what I even watched just now but the birth and suckling were verrrrry unsettling.
There’s just so many other shows out there doing much better things than this one.
As with the other comments here - started with some cool lore, promising setting and fast pacing but quickly lost its way.
I’d be surprised if it got another season..
