What does it all mean?
Is Marcus dead or alive?
Is there a weird android love triangle brewing between Father, Mother, and Grandmother?
We went to showrunner Aaron Guzikowski for answers.
(Alsoread our interviewwith executive producer / living legend Ridley Scott.)
In the final analysis, they’re really just here to help us.
Humans are the point.
But then they start to think of themselves and, “What’s in it for us?”
Is ignorance bliss, or is the search for knowledge?
I think really happiness is this kind of strange concept anyway.
It doesn’t really exist.
Grandmother says devolving the humans is necessary to fulfill the mission.
They’re too intelligent, and they’re picking up on this voice.
They’re destroying themselves.
They’re doing these things.
Failure is not an option.
I have to find a way.
And if there isn’t, what does that really mean?
And that allows her to say, “Okay, I can check that box off.
I accomplished my mission.”
So,are we seeing the beginnings of an android love triangle here or what?
And in some ways, they’ll mimic our own.
In some ways, they won’t.
And I think it’s fascinating.
It’s definitely something we’re going to delve into.
Obviously, I’ve got to ask about that Marcus scene at the end.
He’s levitating upside down.
There’s blood coming down.
We think he’s dead.
Maybe he’s now not.
What can you say about that?
I can say very little about that unfortunately, without giving things away.
There’s not much I can speak to it without giving things away.
It kind of has to exist on its own in that sense being what it is.
How much have you mapped out or outlined season 3?
I’m working on season 3 now.
It hasn’t been officially greenlit, but I am working on it.
And quite a bit is worked out.
