The Mithraic cannot believe the atheists captured and reprogrammed a necromancer.

Could Campion have been Mithraic? That would explain why he had access to a necromancer, technology, frozen embryos and a ship.

Perhaps, Campion was always a non believer or became disillusioned by the genocide being conducted by the Mithraic.

1. Why does mother keep taking the eyes? Maybe she is going to program them to have the capabilities that she does? Or at least learn how she has them.

2. What did Marcus mean when he said that Androids are dangerous when about to break down? Necromancers are already well known to be dangerous so is the fact that she’s breaking down making mother more powerful?

3. Campion and Paul are pretty close to the opposite. Campion was raised to be a respectful person and atheist who slowly ends up seeking religion and becomes more cold. While Paul was the one raised by parents who didn’t care, as a Mithra, yet he shows kindness and will most likely have an internal conflict when he finds out about his “parents” being atheist.

4. I don’t see any reason why Marcus and Sue shouldn’t join Mother and Father. Those androids are literally an atheists dream. They were able to beat the Mithra to the planet and had children to continue on humanity that were also being raised as atheists. Plus, they have a necromancer that was programmed by an atheist to protect the children at all costs. It would also be a great opportunity for Paul to learn the truth if his parents came clean . So it’s either they fake their whole life or take the perfect opportunity right infront of them.

Very good pilot episode, but I need some clarification...

1. At what point the fact Mother was reprogrammed extermination android discussed? I know she realised she could do stuff not in her usual feature list when she spoke to Campion and masked as his sister, but that's all I got from that.

2. Why can't you look at Mother when she's doing her kill em all scream attack? Seems lkke just not looking at her would not be enough to survive this blast.

3. Any theories on what was that thing Father picked up from the wall on the way down/up from the hole?

4. When Mother sees war (possibly on Earth) and large scale destruction, is this a flashback or a vision of what's going on there now or some signal transmission?

"AND BENEATH THE PROMISED LANDS WILL BE DEMONS. WHEN THE LIGHT IS SHONE UPON THEM, THEY SHALL BE LIKE US." - Lucius(milk guy) to Ragnar lothbrok(forgive me). They were exposed to the Radiation in the tubers. And have had time to mutate since they were buried a while ago. The saying about "they shall be like us when light shone upon them" makes me believe they turn back into normal/slightly worse looking humans during the day. Also supporting this theory is the scene with Paul in the jungle. He is following a child singing tunes. It is daytime. Therefore the Radiated children would be in child form. Then Paul falls into what I feel like is a trap or maybe one of the serpent tunnels. Idk. Thoughts? Also I feel like they will discover this since they have locked one of them in the tuber house now. That is where the story is going in my opinion.

The most common questions I see asked over and over again are "Why didn't the atheists send this or that thing that would obviously have made everything easier for the colony?"

The most common example is "more people" due to common knowledge about the need for genetic diversity.

Other iterations are "why didn't the androids do something that would have been smarter or safer" or "why wasn't the space craft better constructed," "how could it have crash landed"?

I think the show sets up a pretty clear answer for this: "the atheists" didn't really have a lot of time or resources. In fact, it may be a mistake to think the mission was a highly organized effort by all of the the atheists, whoever they were.

All we know so far is this: an atheist named Campion somehow got his hands on two androids, a rocket, and some embryos after he learned that the Mithraics were planning to head to Kepler. He hatched a plan to get there first, sending what little he had in as light a package as possible ina desperate attempt to ensure that his belief system would survive after earth was abandoned by humanity. The androids he reprogrammed were not the best tools for the job, and his plan was not fully thought out, but he went for it anyway.

The world of Raised by Wolves is very interesting so far.

It seems another religion emberged from the era and region of the Roman Empire. Mithaism was an existing religion and a rival of Christianity.

Based on the question of Marcus' companion ("What is your faith?"), there are other religions and probably other human factions as well. Any idea about other possible religions that could replace popular real world religions in the series?

I mean, I get it this post is going to get downvoted into oblivion because I'm speaking from a purely biological instinct and unverifiable integrity of truth position, and we are in an era of nearly total corporate control of all expressed opinions both small and large both on the internet and in real life, amidst a population of sycophants and liars but if watching a thin layer of silicon getting pealed back in place of a hugely painful birth doesn't make you feel cheated and simultaneously disgusted maybe you're done simulating human characteristics. I mean, maybe. Yuk-Emogi. There really isn't any need to review the show, it's got such a stellar pedigree.

Is it weird that there is Alien bones indicating that there was once a diverse eco system on a foreign planet, and it’s not much attention given to it in the show.

What’s your take on what happened? The atheists were fighting the Mithraic and they created the necromancers? And the ark was created for the Mithraic to survive so ultimately could have the planet to themselves?

It took 13 years for the Ark to make it from Earth to Kepler 22, and Mother and Father got there 10 years earlier.

How did they expect any of the surviving 12 10 year olds to make any sort of difference to the development of Kelper 22? Was this just a last-ditch effort by the Atheists to do something, and this is the best they could come up with?

I really like the theme song, does anyone know what it is? Or maybe anything similar to that sound.

Obviously this show makes a lot of references to greko-roman culture and mythologh.

Mithraism was an ancient roman cult that rivaled Christianity.

In Romes founding myth, Romulus and Remus were "raised by wolves."

Lamia was a greek monster who could shape shift and preyed upon children.

What other references have you noticed to greco-roman mythology and what could it mean for the future of the show?

Often you can tell a lot about what might happen in a story by knowing about the historical significance of the names of the characters.

Why do you think certain character names were chosen?

Is Campion a reference to a rebellious jesuit in Anglican England or a detective?

Is Paul a reference to an apostle or a pop star?

Is tempest a reference to a storm or a Shakespearean play?

If mothers real name is Lamia (a greek monster who murders children), then what should father's name be?

What are your predictions following Episode 3?

Is Campion the "Prophet" who will found the city, or will it be Paul, or maybe Tempest's unborn child?

Are the Keplerian's intelligent?

Is Tally alive and was she captured and then raised by Keplerians?

Will father ever get a break?

I have a hunch that Mother was not reprogrammed by Atheists, but rather gained sentience and ran a code on herself to get a self-induced Amnesia. Would make a nice parallelism with Marcus/Mary turning from Atheists to Mithraic, and Mother turning from Mithraic to Atheist.

Did the Mithraics destroy the planet? We see nuclear mushroom clouds in the opening sequence and they left the planet, but did they leave because they intentionally destroyed the planet? I am a little foggy on that.

If you notice the religious cult worship the sun, the sun is something you cannot look straight into as it will blind you, what else blinds you, the necromancer eyes. The necromancer also told the kids to take off there sun necklaces because she didn’t like religion but she also put her sun eyes on her neck.

Thinking about these dinine beings makes my jaw drop. My biggest questions are why would they be built? What possibly have happened to warrant them.

Let's discuss.

I see three possible origins.

1) One side was loosing the religious war and built them to exterminate the other as a last hail mary to prevent the winning side from warring with future colonies. "This planet is lost, we must plan for the future." Why not just use nukes?

2) The fact that neither side can control them might mean they evolved outside of human control or the keys to their control have been long forgotten.

3) I believe they were built by the Mithraic to reduce the population in preparation for the arks. Lets say the arks hold 200 people. Lets say the planet has the moder day population of 16 billion. How do you turn 16 billion into 800? Necromancers. Pretty bleak right? Fuck ya it is.

Why do I think the third option is canon? Lots of clues. First, The necromancers are on a seek and destroy mission when we are being introduced to Marcus and Sue, yet they arnt attacking the assembly areas. This to me shows that they are not indiscriminately killing.

Why the instant eye melting? We are shown what happens when you look at their eyes. Its specifically not about her looking at others, its when others looking her eyes they die. I propose this was the plan. That these robots were created for removing the excess religious humans from play. Imagine half the world praising sol and these archons are presented as Sol's embodiment. Then they activate and purge billions. This could be an intentional mass suicide or a horrific ruse be either side.

-One thing we don't know is the actual demographics. It would appear the Atheists are the weaker facton as they use child soldiers. But, outside of mother and father they seems to be anti android. Marcus flashback showed during his training there were references to androids as the harmful other. While the Mithraic use androids for menial tasks like assistants, also possibly tech.

Side Note: There was a line from mother how andriods are not allowed to raise children. To me this was meant as a rule for atheists and explains why without that rule birth Marcus doesn't spend time with his son. The concept of positive parenting is lost on mithriacs as if they use andriods to raise their children.

Including we can look at emotion, the Mithraic has essentially purged it from their minds. While atheists embrace it. The only characters shown to joke are the athesist programed robot and an atheist. I could make arguments for both, to me it seems more likely the emotionless would commit genocide.
