RAISED BY WOLVES - NEW TRAILER

Not for BigDave, he has enough patience to wait for the show.

Fair enough. But sometimes the best way to avoid temptation is to simply yield to it.

Well unless i use a Proxy Server/VPN then i CANT access the HBO Free 1st Episode.

@Roger G

I cant seem to Access that Image on my Computer, i did have a Quick Look on a Phone but the Screen is Small and Image not Clear so its HARD to work out so i need to see the Image some other way and i can give better TWO Cents.

From what LITTLE i saw of it and taking into Account the Mithraich (Sun Worshipers) then maybe it bares more to the Story of Icarus

Nope i cant view the image anywhere NOW so i have to go by the Few Seconds i had a Quick Look at it.

The Painting that MOST resembles it is

The Fall of Phaeton by Sebastiano Ricci

This MAY-NOT be the same, its just what i think it looked a bit like from the FEW Seconds i only got to see the IMAGE.

The Story of Phaeton is Similar to Icarus to a Degree and i think maybe BOTH of these Stories could Connect to what we may be shown in RBW.... but then i have YET to see the TV Show and could be WAY OFF BASE.

I can from the Trailers only assume that Mankind had Advanced Science to FAR to Create some Synthetic Beings who became Powerful, that it Caused a Religious Cult to go to WAR against Science and Atheist i can only assume that MOTHER saw that Religion had always Caused Downfall for Mankind and Conflict and maybe is Sentient and Feared for her own Species that HER KIND had led to the Destruction of Earth.

I will assume some of the REBELS (Atheist) saw that they have to SAVE our Species and Tasked the TWO Androids to go to Kepler22B to Raise Embryo's and Start Again.

Maybe the Mithraich Religion has some Armageddon Prophecy about the Destruction of Earth and HOW their Cult/Followers will Inherit a NEW EDEN and so they are OFF to Kepler22B which may HOLD some Significance to them in some Prophecy.

The Arrival of the Mithraich Concerns Mother she knows if they Discover she is a Android they would Destroy her, and she would also FEAR that the Cult of the Mithraich would just lead to the SAME DOWNFALL of Mankind again.

So her Agenda is to STOP THEM and maybe Rescue some Children to TRY and Raise to be about Science and not Gods but that has Conflicts.

Even though i have NOT seen the TV Series i would be Drawn to think that WHEN/IF we get to a Season TWO we could see MOTHER get a GOD Complex and wish to RULE the Planet Kepler22B as a God and develop her OWN kind of Cult of Worship to HER.

so she kind of would BECOME what she had at First been FIGHTING against.

It seems there is a human or humanoid crucified upside down in that picture, tried to edit it to better see details, but quality of original does not allow much improvement.

Where is this picture from,  Roger G?

Mother is a Necromancer, a battle model repurposed to raise children. That's why she is feared by the Mithraic.

I can't wait to see the series, until then I am open to spoilers, that won't make me enjoy less each episode, on the contrary, I would be more attentive to details that otherwise I might miss without the spoilers.

SuperAlien I watched the first episode off YouTube several times now and keep finding little details- and a couple flaws. Mother is a very interesting character and there are things that are strange but will likely be explained as the story unfolds. Right now I can see at least three major things that will develop but I don't want to spoil anything. The first episode is well paced and even has some humor that balances well with some tense and dark scenes. The musical score really helps too. It's very much about religion/atheism and starts to point out the pros and cons of both camps. 

Thanks dk.

Sounds like my kind of show, and by the time I will be able to see it, I guess all epispdes will be released. I'm preparing for binge watching.

I am glad they got it right with the musical score. That's one of the things I like at Ridley Scott's films, although the visuals are great, the score and the actors' voices spice up the whole package, sometimes I just like to close my eyes and immerse in the soundscape.

It's gonna be a cool winter!

Collider posted an exclusive clip from episode 4, tempting BigDave again.

I am not a big fan of the this show...I like some of the special effects and that is about it. This looks more like a rough draft on screen then anything else....and it looks like they had a lot of money to do this but could not get the concepts right. 

No spoilers but this has taken a lot out of the RS playbook from other films....these androids are horrible in my opinion.....saw better treatments back in the day on star trek tv shows.....this is no Michael Fasbender playing a synthetic - not even close.

The screaming part is cheap and very annoying.....we get that the mechanism can create high frequency waves....less is more.....and the fact that it is a female characterization with the screaming could be misconstrued as potentially sexist....

I get that the show is a dystopian portrayal and yet even with the sparse levity that is there the show just seems dark and overcast like a cloudy day overall.  

Everything has a serious undertone to the performances like the characters are not happy in their roles....a lot of the actors are young so this happens on productions like this with inexperienced directors....I give this so far a C- for the effort; but, there is nothing here to love or keep....

Moving on and cutting my losses with this....gonna fast forward through most of it because you kinda have to...it was not worth the effort in certain parts.

BlackAnt Though I disagree on a some points, your assessment sounds fairly reasonable. I am only speaking of the first episode open to the public and figure things will be fleshed out later. I am confused on Mother's powers but will ride with it since it's only the first episode.

Roger G you are over thinking. 

This way you could find some mythical dimension in the Snow White and the seven dwarves, seven being a magical number as well, while BlackAnt could say the story is sexist, racist and sizeist.

C'mon people, just enjoy the show or at least let others enjoy it.

SuperAlien Yes, but that is part of the fun around here. We can enjoy or trash but we discuss and debate. I disagree with BlackAnt and that's ok since he does bring up some decent points. Roger G and BigDave can get way deep into the weeds but it's cool that a show can inspire that engagement. As much as I like it, I can even troll a bit and call Mother a Karen!

the fact that it is a female characterization with the screaming could be misconstrued as potentially sexist....

Fair point. Maybe they couldn't afford Rob Halford screaming for vengeance /s  Good screams aren't cheap, and cheap screams aren't good.

Rob Halford's screams didn't hurt anybody, so casting him as Mother would defeat the purpose.

On the other hand, Amanda Collin's screams hurt a lot, both on / off screen.

Victims of Changes, Screaming for Vengeance and Pain Killer prove that he has/had the chops for the screams. I know it's way off topic, but I am also adding some distracting levity to a serious OT like we traditionally do around here. The screams literally melted faces, which is very metal. Halford's screams melted faces too. That's what a metal god does- all fear the Sentinel.  Cheers!

dk I think of a better candidate than Rob Halford; Sinead O'Connor. 

SuperAlien She has the attitude/mentality and sort of the look of Mother, but I don't hear that face melting scream. Mother wouldn't rent a cheap hotel and post her meltdown on social media- no. Mother just kills people and scares kids!

Found some cool pics from the series:

I wonder what that monolith buried in the sand would reveal.

Visuals are stunning and I can't wait to see the series. 

Interesting for sure....

Has the Cave Painting Scene happened by EP5 yet?

The Monolith does appear like it had been on Kepler22B for some Time and maybe RS etc are Borrowing from Space 2001 a little ;)

The Cult follow a Religion that is like Mithraism and the God of Mithraism was BORN from a Rock so maybe this is what that Scene could eventually imply?

Could the Cave Painting be indicating the Monolith?

 That picture has a Giger vibe in it.

Roger G, why don't you post the pics here? Like so.

BigDave, that cave painting could be inside the monolith. Takes us back to Prometheus and Alien.

 There is the Upload tab for posting pictures.

I suppose that is the symbol of the Sun since the Mithraic worship the Sun.

That Sun is the The Vergina Sun which is Connected to Helios which is Connected to Mithraism

The Pentagram however is also 12 Sides and so that could Connect to the 12 Disciples or 12 Tribes of Israel well that what a 12 Sided Pentagram usually Symbolizes

The Mosaics seem to be the 7 Grades of Initiation of the Mithraism Cult/Religion.

Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was the official sun god of the later Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers. On 25 December AD 274, the Roman emperor Aurelian made it an official religion alongside the traditional Roman cults.

Do you remember the prisoner with the bucket on his head? He has similar spikes as the sculpture below.

The statue of liberty has such spikes as well.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Overthinking. 

Roger G I appreciate you giving spoiler alerts. The only spoiler I look for is when the final season episode is released so I can jump in.

dk the spoiler was about Marcus having sex with his wife, no details given. You are safe.

Roger G I haven't, from what I read Mather has other skills. If this happens in episode 5 and Marcus is still alive in the end, then it's his wife, not Mother. Maybe he dreams of Mother during intercourse with his wife, but that would be cheap. I think you are mislead.
