[Hot take] N is THE smartest character in the show.

His "lovable idiot" persona is an act. He pretend to be naive and carefree most of the time, but there is plenty of moments (especially when he's alone or only with V), when he is serious and contemplative. He is also very perceptive, and natural psychologist.

He quicly dedused that there something fishi with malfunctioned communicator on their ship, realised that V hiding something shortly after she stopped ignoring him, understud Uzi messed up fealings in ep4, made unusually logical by horror standarts in both ep5 and 6... Unlike most other characters, he usually analised situation before acting.

It's understandable why his cutesy "outer persona" is so well liked, but personally i like his real, deep and complex, character much more.

[Hot take] N and V acting like siblings

That actually funny. While we see that they had romantic feelings in the past, in show itself they mostly act more like brother and sister than like ex-lovers.

Technically, they are adopted siblings, and at least J see them both as her siblings (according to Liam and her mini-episode). Than again, being step-siblings does not prevent romance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Drones aren't light, Tessa really was that strong.

When N pushed paralysed V from basement hatch, we see that it takes considerable effort, he pushed her very slowly, and she sounded like heavy cargo being dragged along the floor. N was shown to be pretty strong even as WD, who in general was made for hard labor. And Yet, Tessa lifted him up completely effortlessly..

One possible explanation, Elliots was genetically augmented. Beside her strength, she was also pretty fast for human.

There is reason J performed a lot worse against Uzi in Pilot than against V in final:

Because during fight in Pilot she had massive hangover XD

leviathans being "moon sized" is technically correct...

.. except they are about same size as Deimos, THE smallest moon known to science XD

Sci-fi autors like throwing around colorfull descriptions like "moon sized" or "continent sized", but usually it doesn't mean much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is interesting line - did Tessa dreamed about seeing snow?

Assuming that this video is indeed canon.

IIRC, there aren't much snow in most of Australia, and it seem that she never been far from manor. That beside point of climat change. It would be understandable if she always wanted to play with snow.

Which make her fate in this clip especially tragic...

Doll's parents wasn't killed in Pilot episode...

Because they was killed outside of the bunker, on some highway.

Way to many people didn't notice that.

u/Sirtael — 2 months ago

There must be huge gap between Pilot and ep3.

Look at the dates on these posters. While we know that Doll killed a lot more than 5 people, this ones are specifically Prom Queen candidates that she killed for her revenge plan. Problem is, earliest date is jan.7, nearly 5 months befor prom. There no way Doll started her scheme before Pilot, as at the time V wouldn't have attempted to "befriend" Lizzy - she still tried to breach the gate at that point.

That mean that first 3 episodes take place over months, not days as it seem.

About J and cyn's "suit"

So, it's clear that J is very much not happy to see cyn, and while there is many perfectly understandable reasons to be afraid, I think that her wearing Tessa's dead body is majore one. Remember, when Liam described J's motivation, among other things he specifically mentioned cyn wearing Tessa's skin. And in final battle, J carefully avoided even looking in cynessa direction. Only when Uzi managed to wound cyn for the first time, J looked at her in shock... For half a second, almost immediately averting her gaze.

I think it reasonable to assume that J was less than happy to see body of her old friend being desecrated like this...

How retractable spike of otton frogs work?

All i could find is this picture, but i can't figure out exact mechanism. It's clearly not the same way retractable claws of other animals work.

P.s. Some compared these frogs to Wolverine (of X-man), which make me even more curious XD

Do J deep down regret killing all this WDs?

In this scene from Special, J look at dead drone with expression that seem almost apologetic. And i think it make sense. Her self made story of being JCJ employee, doing important job, being valued.. All of this is her coping, and living in fantasy. Same when she called WDs "barely sentient toasters" despite remembering that she was one herself. When cyn called, and warned of her approaching arrival, J was dragged back into reality, where she is a slave of robo-satan, and killing innocent people for no real reason.

J DO see N and V as her family.

I mean, in her short she directly called them that, twice, but it can be interpretted as her being metaphorical. Now, this moment, on the other hand.. Even in her personal fantasy, when she is JCJ cration, she still imagine them being with her since birth.

Is that J's drawing of murder trio?

From new merch video, i suppose N make only puppies drawings, and this one was made by J.

u/Sirtael — 3 months ago

This scene from J's special kinda remind me "Jangst" fanart..

Except with random WD head instead of "Tessa's" helmet (it's too early, obviously XD), but i definitely seen couple with same pose. It might be coincidence, but more likely it was direct inspiration.

Is N good singer?

I mean, think about it. J is good painter, while N is terrible at it. While J is terrible at singing. It would be thematically appropriate (and hilarious) if N actually good at it.

So drones CAN get drunk

On battery acid.

Which rise the question about Alise. She was eating whole batteris...

Was Murder Trio first ever drone-kids?

When we see them on flashbacks from manor era, all three of them seem to be kids/teens, just like younger drones from Copper 9. But, drone-children on that planet was "born" started as pill-babies. For company, there is no point doing such things, worker drones was supposed to be manufactured as "adults" so they could be sent to work as soon as possible.

Liam said that N, V and J lost memories of their original (pre junkyard) lives. We don't know if they self-rebooted like cyn, or was reactivated by Tessa (or, technically created by her out of empty shells, since they would be just new individuals), but their unique situation seemingly made them first robot children in history. Starting their lives with damaged memory, they learned to live, instead of being programmed.

It interesting that Kit have four fingered hands...

...while cats IRL have five fingers on their forelimbs. Even if one finger is rudimentary.

P.s. yes, i know that some cats have even more fingers.
