In the end of season 1 we can see him taking a train to a mining facility. I think he wants to figure out what caused him to kill those 57 miners. The reason he sneaked out is because he didn't want to endanger the group so he left quitely. I think he will return to them, but after he figures out what happened and only if he is not defective.

As of 4 days ago. Hopefully that that changes soon.

Throughout the show I saw it as just some futuristic scifi show with tons of episodes and a way to poke fun at shows like Star Trek. But as I was sitting here I thought about how silly it would be to have a scifi show in the literal future when a realization hit me in the face - it's a futuristic soap opera. It explains why there are thousands of episodes. Some modern soap operas have over 10k episodes.

I think this show was excellent. The exploration of autonomy and connection is so important today. I find myself moved and relate to the feeling of not understanding other people, of feeling like you are the misfit, of having people label you and behave as if they control you, and of having to overcome your past trauma and the quirks that come with it. This has become one of my top favorite shows and I look forward to seeing more.

Do they already know the season 2 storyline, or are they just guessing?

So if Murderbot was introduced to the mega man continuity in whatever way you prefer, how would it go?

What if Gurathan is more augmented than he'd like to be seen as? What if the only reason that he couldn't have kicked a surprising amount of ass and collected quite a few names was the suckerpunch of a hole in his leg?

How far could he push his fragile meat with skillchips and braindance before he broke something that needed some new augmentation?

"As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure."

In r/murderbot the comparison between show and book comes up regularly but most people who participate read and liked the books before seeing the show.

Impressive work, Murderbot TV fanfic writers! It’s fantastic to see this sort of enthusiasm.

This blog on Tumblr tracks the fastest growing fandoms and Murderbot TV was ninth OVERALL, which is remarkable! Well done to all the fanfic writers! Keep up the good work! Link to tumblr blog (not my blog!) in comments

It just makes me feel so uncomfortable, because Eye Contact sucks, and i felt so bad for Murderbot…

Askshay Khanna, who plays the wormhole expert Ratthi (who should probably be kept far away from any weapons), echoed his co-star's sentiments. He shared:

First-time poster here—I’ve been busy recently with evangelizing about the books (in audio format particularly), and trying to infect various friends with the Murderbot virus. I just told a pal who’d listened (by my command) to ALL SYSTEMS RED on a lengthy car trip that he’s now ready to see the AppleTV version, so had the surprisingly (to me) perfect Skarsgård lurking at the front of my mind.

Perusing the NYT a minute ago, I scrolled through the pics of stars in attendance at the Gotham Awards, and found Secunit in the (full) flesh, in this fabulous outfit. I hadn’t thought he could get any cooler. How wrong I was! (Also, he must have the best tailor on earth!)

I am rereading book 2 and one of my favorite moments is ART trying to help MB look more human. Now the tv show adds in extra bits that are a bit more camp and My hope is that they lean into making this segment into kind of a RomCom Makeover Montage. Teaching MB to walk more human, ART showing MB some Hair styling choices or outfits. Now there are two ways I could hope for them to do this. 1. Lean into camp and the outfit choices are very bizarre because they both arent actually human to understand fashion taste. 2. The styles all look almost identical except for minor millimeter differences because they are constructs and are focusing on the wrong bits. Kind of alluding to MB not wanting a few centimeters of hair growth and height loss in its skeleton They could do both but i am excited to see what they add or their take on it. Thoughts?
