With no intent of detracting from how cool this image is - it is certainly an enhanced color image. Blues tend to be exaggerated with processing. NASA is good about marking image processing but secondary publishers are not

Natasha Lyonne and David Tennant would slay but I need it to be Kevin R Free š

Pin-Lee is also a proficient programmer and was supped to manually remove the remaining fragments of combat override from Murderbot. I am waiting for the show to give the characters their competency moments and it was just a weird one to take away from Pin-Lee

I've been withholding judgement on a lot of the pres aux crew hoping that the show would fill them out with some good character development but they robbed Pin-Lee of one of their badass, super-competent moments this episode and I'm so sad

I think many of us use Murderbot because thatās what it calls itself but it does ask everyone else to call it SecUnit (most often, other alises too) so itās definitely not a deadname

Many of you made the case in the comments last week for āsomething from a later bookā and youāre right so I filled it in for last week

Iagree with this and I think there is some weird creepy things that happen when feminine-perceived people (which is Emma for many folks with poor gender-literacy) represent robots with subservience - possibly HKs point? But yeah, dont personally love lumping enby people with their agab either

Also trying to fight or dismiss your experience. I was concerned about the wording in the initial message not knowing you or your context. I hoped my note was a clarifying comment but I'm sorry that it felt attacking. I think we're all genderqueer here and reacting from our own negative experiences

I'm intending the card to last all season so I'm being VERY strict but I think you could make that argument :)

Totally up for interpretation! I personally though the media viewing was interrupted by the danger first and human stupidity later but I'm playing a strict game. My roommate the card for the whole season so I'm trying not to blow through it too fast

My roommate made it! She's on board for personal use. It's all in good Murderbot fun

I mean Murderbot it canonically asexual and agender and is upset at the idea of being sexualized

Also just thinking more on this, I totally agree as a general comment but since this is a comment on a photo of Emma D'arcy I wanted to make sure we're on the same page that they are nonbinary, not an androgenous woman. Your point stands though

I'm hopeful this will be explored later it if it's not it will be a *major* negative of the show. Fingers crossed

Omg I would have loved this š¤©. SkarsgĆ„rd is going a good job (better than I expected) but Murderbot is explicitly genderqueer
