Quetzalcoatl-"Alien Cataclysm" Episode 10 Plot Analysis and Seasonal Comment
This week, the first season of "Alien Cataclysm" finally ushered in a phased end (in fact, it did not). Father and mother separated from their children for the first time after coming to the new planet. This is a reincarnation of "atheists" Under the mysterious background of the planet, I don’t know where to go.
Ask every Monday.
Has the show started to fill the hole?
No, but the first season is over.
So what is more terrifying than Alien?
It is a flying alien.
Spoiler alert
First go through the plot of the episode quickly.
10
After Marcus finally swallowed his eyes in the last sentence, he managed to survive. On the way to find Paul, he repeatedly saw visions. In the end, he encountered an army of atheists who came here in a spacecraft.
The mother was looking for a suitable place of production. The father became jealous after knowing that the mother was given to the fetus by the so-called creator. After that, the two of them found a local aboriginal creature trying to attack them. The appearance of this aboriginal brought it. More questions about the history of this planet.
The mother followed the phantom she had seen before and came to a cave where she gave birth to a weird flying snake, but she also had no power to kill this evil species, and worried that the snake would attack Campion and Campion after the lactation period. The other children rushed into the center of the earth in a small spaceship with their father. However, the spacecraft penetrated through the center of the earth and penetrated from the other side of the planet. The flying snake grew up and wandered in the tropical world.
Paul was still troubled by the sounds and tried to destroy the spacecraft. Although Su tried to convince him that these sounds were false, they soon told Paul Su’s true identity. Paul wounded Su with a gun and fled, Campi En, his friends, and the injured Su were left in the icy world.
Although the tenth episode is the final episode of the first season, it gave some answers while digging out more pits. The following is still using the "hidden four forces" I mentioned before and others. The structure of the mystery is sorted out one by one the secrets behind this planet.
1. The creator of the oracle/illusion + 2. The creator of the illusion
In the analysis of the previous two passages, I have mentioned that the two forces seem to have a more precise connection, and they also seem to have the same purpose of "birth a child." Although this statement is still not clear, it is deeper. Associated.
The "snake species" in the mother's body, if not surprisingly, was indeed not arranged by the creator, but when the mother entered the virtual environment and met the hypocritical creator, either through downloading data or embedding it through external implantation. In the mother's body. Therefore, the character behind the "creator in the illusion" is actually the initiator of the snake.
And the creator of the oracle/illusion had been telling Marcus not to kill his mother from the beginning, with a clear purpose to ensure the survival of the flying snake. After whispering to Paul, he told him the true identity of Sue. The people behind these voices obviously knew Su's true identity for a long time, but why they said it only now was obviously to create a chaotic void so that the mother could not be disturbed by the outside world during the birth of her life.
So looking at it this way, these two forces can basically be counted as the same faction. (The relationship between this faction and Flying Snake will be detailed in the fifth part below)
3. The mysterious man in the snake bone
In the analysis of the last episode, I guessed that this mysterious person living in the snake bones was the aboriginal of this planet. This episode basically confirmed this conjecture. The aboriginal tried to attack the mother, obviously trying to prevent the birth of the snake. Previously, it (should be the same force, at least dressed similarly) lured Mithraism to the snake bones and pointed out the mother's residence to them, and it was also using the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching tigers to accelerate the internal friction between outsiders.
I will make some guesses about the identity of these aborigines in Part 6.
But what bothers me a little bit now is that the mysterious person who lured Marcus and his party at the beginning looked vigorous, but this one who was easily killed by his mother was really a bit stretched, and maybe these people who dressed the same have different things. Origin (this pit gets bigger and bigger).
4. Tali's Soul
Tali’s soul is absent in this episode. The general guess remains the same. It is Tali’s soul and illusion. The oracle maker is in a state of confrontation. At least it is trying to eliminate all possible "sons of prophecy."
5. Snakes, snake bones, snake skin, snake breeders, and tropical circles
The intention of the snake has appeared frequently since the first episode. The snake bones next to the mother’s residence, the giant snake bones where the mysterious man lives, the giant snake on the mural, the blackened snake pattern on the mural of the mother’s room, until now, We finally saw the face of this giant snake.
From a religious point of view, father and mother are like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and the one who drove them out and landed in a strange land happened to be an evil snake. This is somewhat consistent with the last episode of the play. I don't know if it is a coincidence or a deliberate setting. So, we can take out some of the previous details to confirm.
First of all, in the first episode, the substance found on the wall when my father descended into the cave is actually the remains of snake skin.
Then, the origin of these giant holes can also be preliminarily speculated to be the passages that snakes dug out to reach all corners of the planet.
The mysterious creature surrounded by men in black in the first two episodes. In this episode, the mystery is also revealed. The mother took up the mask of the dead creature (really resembles the engineer of Prometheus). According to the structure of the skull, It should be an artificial person (it was also spitting white liquid at the time), and according to the snake she saw in the scene when her mother investigated, it was obvious that the tortured artificial person in the phantom was also producing snake species at that time.
As for whether those snakes can fly, I can't say that. At the beginning of this episode, Campion asked the mother if the child would inherit the mother’s ability to fly, so it is possible that the giant snake born before could not fly. It is precisely because the mother is a spirit caller that the snake conceived by this mother was born. With the ability to fly, it will become a more terrifying existence.
Of course, when the mother gave birth to this baby snake, the alien stalk will no longer complain. It is supposed to be a play by Lei, but you should be alert whenever you see an unknown baby.
At the end of this part, let's talk about the relationship between the forces that make snakes and snakes.
The characters behind the illusion, the auditory hallucination maker and the creator of the illusion are obviously looking forward to the arrival of this snake, and flesh and blood humans should not be able to breed such fast-growing alien species, so they can only choose artificial Humans are used as carriers for gestation.
This snake is likely to exist as their god, just like the feathered serpent god worshiped by the Mayans, which symbolizes the abundant harvest. These "higher existences" hidden behind them may also have beliefs and beliefs in these powers. Infinite beasts, and it is their responsibility to breed these giant snakes.
At this time, we have to mention the concept of "tropical circle" that was looming in the play from the beginning.
The tropical circle is easy to understand, that is, it is a place with more sunshine and more suitable for survival. At first, the mother could not move because the spacecraft fell into the cave. Later, after having a small spacecraft, she also had to take care of Templest and talked about it after giving birth. When I went to the tropical circle, I kept repeating that after I was pregnant with a baby snake, I went to the tropical circle after giving birth.
However, behind these existences, it is clear that they do not want their mothers to go to the tropics.
Because they whispered to tell Paul to dismantle the important device of the spacecraft, they were actually trying to prevent them from going to the tropical circle.
So, what does the tropical circle have?
In the earlier episodes Mithraism mentioned that they could not go to the tropical circle, because there is a strong electromagnetic field that would interfere with their spacecraft equipment.
And I guess that the existence behind these "phantoms and oracles", the interference they created may also be invalidated by these strong magnetic fields, and the black hands behind them may intend to try to control it after creating this flying snake, and the father and mother are bad. Yang Cuo's act of bringing the flying snake into the tropical zone will cause the black hand behind the scenes to lose control of the giant snake, and the giant snake who comes to a suitable illusion will also have a better room for growth.
It will become a terrifying existence, far more terrifying than the alien.
6. Marcus's Visions and Atheists
After Marcus was plugged into the eyes of a mother in the last episode, Marcus really survived. But we saw mutated wounds on his face, which may be caused by the radiation in his eyes.
And the illusions that Marcus saw next, whether they came from the side effects of radiation or the illusion of his trance, there is no doubt that these illusions did not come from the previous "oracles."
But Marcus, who is deeply lost in faith, constantly builds illusions and deepens his inner conviction, which is also a kind of sadness.
The spaceship of the atheist army that Marcus finally encountered has introduced another party to the dispute on this planet. What is interesting is that Marcus, who previously belonged to the atheist army, is disguising as Mitte. After Lajiao came to this planet, he became a fanatical believer, and because there is an eye in his body, Marcus will definitely have a considerable role in the next season.
7. Indigenous people, the endless cycle between aliens and the earth
When Paul was tracking the little mouse, he found some murals of the aboriginal people.
Let's take a good look at this spoiler and powerful mural.
The spacecraft where two people are sitting, the embryos behind the spacecraft.
This seems to be describing the journey of father and mother to creation.
But look carefully, the direction of the spacecraft on this mural.
On the left side of the painting, there are three moons and suns around this big planet. These are the three planets seen on Kepler 22b.
And to the right of the spacecraft, the sun and the arrangement of several planets look like the solar system.
Therefore, the answer is faintly revealed that this "Genesis" journey has not happened for the first time. A long time ago, when people on this planet were on the verge of extinction, they sent out a small spacecraft to a new planet to establish civilization. Time has passed, and civilizations on the earth have also launched ships that inherit human civilization to Kepler 22b on the eve of their destruction.
In the first few episodes when Mother entered the illusion, the false "creator" said that "human beings will only end up destroying themselves again and again." This sentence seems to confirm the authenticity of this cyclical cycle from the side.
So, what is going on with the degradation of these aborigines? What happened before?
There is a speculation that a dispute comparable to a nuclear war occurred before, which made it difficult for the entire planet to sustain life at that time, so the former aborigines launched spacecraft to the earth.
One possible evidence is that the crops grown by Campion and his mother and father, and the crops later found on the surface by Campion, have radioactive cores. This may be the subtle change of plants by the nuclear material slowly deposited on the surface.
But Campion’s algae found in the cave, which is not on the surface, have no radiation. The creatures on the surface have radiation, and the plants on the non-surface are normal. These can also support this view.
Because of this large amount of radiation environment, the indigenous people who stayed here have undergone partial degeneration. The indigenous people killed by the mother are only a degraded kind. The crawling creatures we saw before may also be more degraded by the aborigines. state.
Another possible cause of degradation (the reason for escaping from the planet) is the existence of giant snakes. When we see the bones of these giant snakes, one may die because most of humans are extinct and lack food, and the other is also because of previous radioactivity. Material and death.
8. In the final election of the Chosen Son, are there any new contestants?
Let's discuss again (perhaps the last time) this so-called "son of heaven".
Before, Campion, Paul, Marcus, until the child in the mother’s womb, the number of candidates for guessing continued to increase. In the last few episodes, Marcus slowly became mad. In fact, there was a basilisk in the mother’s womb. , The number of candidates is slowly decreasing.
As I said earlier, Paul has advantages over Campion in many aspects, but the biggest obstacle to Paul is his beliefs. If he can’t break through the shackles of this false belief (even if he doesn’t give up his beliefs, at least Faith can be used to comfort the soul rather than as a guide for behavior), then he is also likely to enter the dilemma faced by Marcus.
The moment Paul gave up on Sue who actually loved him and shot, Paul probably lost the possibility of becoming a "son of prophecy."
The premise is that this "son of prophecy" really exists.
I think this concept that has been thrown out from the first episode is probably a smoke bomb proposed by the "phantom/oracle maker". Now it seems likely to be an introduction to the "flying snake", so if you rely too much on this concept And believe that there will really be a "prophet", then we will instead fall into the misguided path of Mithraism.
Of course, the concept of "guides" may continue to exist. If mankind wants to establish a new civilization on a new planet, then such a leader is necessary. The arrival of the atheist spacecraft will expand the scale of the dispute. There may be new contestants entering this "leadership battle" war.
9. Father and mother
From the very beginning of the first episode, father and mother came to this new planet.
In the last episode, the father and mother were forced to leave the children and come to the planet.
The relationship between father and mother has slowly undergone subtle changes in more than ten years. From the beginning of raising the children with all their heart, to the mother having her own selfishness, to the father being jealous by the ntr, but in the end, when they realized that the newborn flying snake might threaten the lives of the children, both of them Without hesitation, they chose to sacrifice themselves and die with this monster.
"I choose to delete my memories to forget these unhappiness."
"But the jokes you made up will also be deleted."
"No, these jokes will exist in your memory, unless you also intend to delete them."
From the first episode, we still felt a little strange, some stiff robot couples, and in the last episode, father and mother became the cutest couple.
Of course, the mission of the two people is not over. The two people in the tropical zone will face the threat of giant snakes and other creatures, and the two people have to live in a dangerous environment and find a way back.
10. Children on the wasteland
Finally, children.
The pregnant Tempster, who gave a lot of shots before, did not have too many scenes in the last episode, but the birth after leaving the mother and the birth of a new baby will become a problem.
The most serious problem is the injured Su. Obviously, Su's injuries will not lead to his death, and Su has medical experience, and she may guide these children to undergo surgery.
After Su slowly recovers, she should raise a new baby with Temple, and the infertile Su will also complete a mother's curriculum from scratch.
The little sister and the Indian eldest sister have been sparsely present.
Hunter also chased after Paul when he escaped, but after the final shot it was clear that he returned to Campion and his team.
The children will face the crazy Marcus in the environment of leaving the care of their fathers and mothers, the Mithraism that is still pursuing them, and the atheist army whose position is still a mystery.
Campion, whether he can become the leader between them, perhaps, this is his biggest trial.
As for Paul, I can only hope that God Saul will bless him.
Genesis on the alien planet has evolved into a collision between faith, survival and civilization.
Dispatched like a reincarnation spacecraft, life and destruction repeatedly jump between the two planets.
The sound in the ear, the standing pentagonal building, the illusion in the eye, the flying giant snake.
How should we weigh the relationship between faith and awe?
The gods are on the top, and the humans are on the bottom.
However, gods are only a higher level of civilization and technology.
Then we choose to believe in the power of human beings,
Or begging God to visibly bring blessings and disasters?
You do not know
I have no idea
So-called gods
Not omniscient and omnipotent
For you i am confused
It also doesn't know.
Burning warehouse-"Alien Cataclysm" episode 8-9 plot analysis
This week’s "Alien Cataclysm" continues the story of children and their parents’ adventures on unfamiliar planets. Although the plot is still developing, the "high-level existence" behind the scenes is still half-hidden with the pipa. At the end of the first season of the week, many dug pits could not be filled. Fortunately, the second season is already in preparation. I only hope that the end of the first season next week will not be hastily, but will be grand and magnificent. Destruction and rebirth.
It's like a burning church, burning out the skin and flesh of religious hypocrisy, but lighting up the secrets behind the planet.
Spoiler alert
Let's first quickly go over the content of these two episodes. If you think it is like a repeater, you can skip it, but I think it is necessary to sort out the plot.
8
Marcus woke up from a nightmare. Although he still had some care for Paul and love for Sue, which was once Mary’s love, he slowly lost himself and fell into a fanatical paranoia. In faith. And because of his extreme behavior, Paul and Sue flee the camp.
With Paul's help, Campion escaped from the confinement room and escaped from being chased by his father after being reformed. Paul and several other children set the church on fire and fled with Sue, and rendezvous with Campion.
On the other side, the dying mother met the medical robot Carl in the wreckage of the spacecraft, and found a strange round object in her belly. After the nutrient solution of the artificial human was ineffective, the mother who was in contact with blood accidentally found that she was right. There was a thirst for blood, and even when he encountered Tempster who was following him, he almost couldn't restrain the desire and attacked Tempster.
When the mother entered the virtual environment to find the answer, the creator of the illusion told her that she was pregnant with a child in her belly.

Templest met the sinner Osso, but Osso was soon subdued by his mother as a blood bag for raising the children. When the three were looking for the mother’s birthplace, they saw a strange card and ran into Su and the children who had escaped before. . After a brief hostility, Su slowly put down his grievances with his mother and complained to each other, but at this time Osuo reversed the direction of blood supply and got rid of her mother's control. Tempster finally triggered the device on Osuo's head. Killed the enemy.
On the other side, under the leadership of Marcus, Mithraism returned to the strange building before waiting for the oracle. The remaining Hunter cracked the password of his father’s fallback version and left the secret with his restored father in a small spacecraft. The people of Telaism. Marcus, who could not hear the oracle, became more impatient, and was finally seen through by Lucius, his throat was inserted into his mother's eyes, and he was dying in the desert.
These two episodes have verified several previous predictions. One is the plot in which Templester will eventually kill Osso, and the other is Lucius’s counter-attack after he sees Marcus’s identity. Both of them are It is a relatively easy to predict segment, although it is a bit deliberate to say that Ossur has become strong and invincible (what is the strange setting of bursting clothes after a blood transfusion).
Let us continue from Marcus here.
As I expected, Marcus slowly changed from an atheist to a faithful character. Although this change is a bit too abrupt, it is understandable. After a certain act of rebelling against the oracle, he was sanctioned by God and obeyed. Naturally, he developed a state of reverence and obedience towards this higher existence. The paragraph where Marcus used a mouse as a metaphor is very appropriate. That higher existence may not be a god, but since humans are already vulnerable to higher existence, then this higher existence is no different from a god.
Marcus, in a certain way, still wants to work hard to maintain the relationship between his child and his wife, but this is at best a reflection of him before he fell into the abyss. After slowly losing the favor of the gods, he became more impatient and forced away the child and Queen Sue. He came to pray in front of the strange building again (because this was the place where he heard the oracle for the first time), but there was no oracle ringing in Marcus's ears again, and he was tragically slumped when he was recognized by his men. wilderness.
However, Marcus’s plot line will definitely not end here. His mother’s eyes are a very important item. The fact that Marcus is forced to swallow his eyes means that he will definitely have an intersection with his mother in the future, even he Maybe in order to regain control of Mithraism (although there are not a few people left except the soldiers), he returned his eyes to his mother and asked her to kill.
But as I said before, the ending of Marcus must be a tragedy. Now he has a belief in nothingness. This belief has battered him once and may eventually lead to his death. This time he was beaten violently by his subordinates, and he might get lost and return to the camp of atheists.
Then last time about the black hands behind the four forces, combined with these two episodes of update, we will discuss again.
1. The maker of the oracle/illusion
The creator of this oracle/phantom was the first to possess Osso, and pay attention to what the oracle told him that it was for him to violate the girl and give birth to the child.
The first time the oracle had an impact on Marcus was when Marcus decided to save the child but was rejected by the elders. In the previous two episodes, the oracle appeared repeatedly when Marcus tried to kill his mother. In the eighth episode, we saw that the mother was pregnant with a child.
All the clues all point to the "children". If we assume that the prediction of the "orphan on the wasteland" comes from this oracle, then obviously this voice is trying to keep the children and continue to create new lives. This fits the demands of Mithraism after coming to this new planet.
This voice and illusion now seem to be audible to the talents on the spacecraft, so the owner behind this voice is also likely to come from the artificial intelligence on the spacecraft or on it, the virus in the illusion, and so on.
At the end of the ninth episode, this voice came to Paul's side. I don't know if Paul can withstand the temptation of the oracle. Maybe, this voice that resembles the appearance of a god will push him into the camp of atheists.
2. The creator in the illusion
Based on the above speculation, if the creator of the mother enters the environment, if it is not the preservation of the true creator’s spirit, then it may actually be the creator of the oracle/illusion. Combining several situations, the illusion in this illusion The image of the creator reminded the mother of the dangers of the child for the first time, and later declared that the previous raising of children was just a trial, and now he gave her the real gift, which is the child conceived in the belly. To be honest, there are some contradictions here, but the attitude is generally to attach importance to "new life".
On the other hand, combined with the mating of the mother in the illusion in the first two episodes, is it when the mother started to become pregnant? This remains to be seen, but I insist on the idea that the creator is not the real creator, and this role must have been replaced by an imposter.
3. The mysterious man in the snake bone
The mysterious man did not appear in these two episodes, but do you still remember the card in the fifth episode of the mysterious man? This card appeared in this episode in the form of metal cards, and these metal cards also have some strange functions, and even let the mother enter a illusion.
Combined with a few words about these cards, we know that these cards are somewhat similar to the tarot cards used by the pagans on earth before, and these pagans have been eliminated by Mithraism.
In the dialogue between my mother and Carl, we can also know that the highest technological technology of Mithraism actually comes from the mechanical descent of a higher existence (this solves the doubts of many people about "why religion can defeat atheism") .
So the dispute between Mithraism and the previous pagans on the earth is not a game between two higher existential factions, and these cards may mean that the previously defeated pagans have come to this planet to multiply early. , But I didn't expect Mithraism to follow it again.
Similarly, the mother saw a black figure besieging a magical creature in the card (note that the container where this creature is located is very similar to that strange building), it may also be the result of a war between the two higher beings, because the black The faction of the figure is too terrifying, so it was recorded on the metal plate.
So I speculate that this mysterious person may belong to the local aboriginal people (or the species that retreated to this planet before), and the previous guidance to Mithraism is actually a bit similar to what we call "initiate war", it knows The two factions are in the same situation, so they sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
4. Tali's Soul
Finally, Tali’s soul seems to have been pestering Campion. As I said in the last two episodes, this Tali’s soul has bad intentions (even Campion has seen that Tali is evil) and has been Trying to frame the "Son of Prophecy", then from the overall point of view, Tali’s soul must be opposed to the existence of "Son of Prophecy". Maybe Tali’s soul and the mysterious person in the snake bone are both smoke bombs released by the local aborigines. They are doing all they can to try to destroy this prophecy. The last time on the earth, in the confrontation between the pagans and Mithraism, the pagans failed. This time, they definitely couldn't make this so-called prophecy come true again.
After talking about the forces behind it, let's talk about the development of the role of mother.
In these two episodes, the mother rarely showed a weak posture. Because of losing her eyes and having a child, she was even hacked by Osso. However, as the mother’s eyeballs reappear in the plot, the last part of next week The middle mother can definitely return to complete body (considering that Marcus only ate one eyeball, it may be semi-complete).
Of course, with the mother's pregnancy, several very interesting conflicts gradually emerged.
One is the contradiction between the mother's care of the child inside and the child outside the body. Although everyone looks amiable now, if the child inside is in danger and needs to give up the children around him, she doesn't know what choice the mother will make. This extends to the balance between the child in the belly of the mother and the child in the belly of Templest. After solving Templest’s enemies, Templest’s next plot should focus on the problem of her pregnancy. Up.
The second is the contrast between the mother who is an artificial human but is conceiving her life, but as a human Su cannot get pregnant, and Su’s spiritual sustenance, Paul, will eventually know the truth (Mithra The few soldiers I taught may meet them and tell the truth) At that time, Su will also become in a dilemma.
The last point is that the ninth episode finally named the allusion of the film's title. I mentioned this legend of the Roman city at the beginning of the analysis of episodes 1-3. The two brothers were nurtured by wolves, and one of them The city of Rome was established.
Looking back at this allusion now, I have a new idea.
The allusion to the city of Romulo has the following details:
"After Romulo and his brother Lemo built the city, they had a disagreement because of the naming of the new city. The two let God decide. Lemo first saw 6 vultures and thought that God had chosen himself, but Romulo Later, he saw 12 vultures. He thought that the people who saw many vultures were the chosen ones, so the two finally started a life-and-death struggle, Lemo was killed, Romulo won, and he named Rome after his own name."
Seeing this paragraph, do you feel familiar with some parts of the plot?
The dispute between the two brothers may be the difference that Campion and Paul will have after the establishment of civilization. We may see the final break between the two in the next few seasons. And this kind of dispute may also come from the struggle between the higher existence behind Mithraism and the higher existence of heretics, which has been hidden behind the scenes.
Similarly, the paragraph where both brothers think that they are chosen by God is also very much like Marcus’s attitude that he thinks he is "chosen by heaven." Of course, we have seen the tragic ending that Marcus may have, and In the above story, the so-called "chosen by God" is also a meaningless thing.
Seeing a vulture is chosen by God?
It's as funny as Marcus sees a burning church and thinks the god descends.
The gods do not exist, and you will eventually kill the person closest to you with your own hands.
The Genesis of the Atheists-An Analysis of Episodes 1-3 of Cataclysm
Ridley Scott participated in the directing of "Alien Cataclysm" finally launched on HBOMax, although the Chinese name translation is too far from the topic. The story of "Raised by Wolves" is not unfamiliar to everyone. Some children were abandoned by their parents shortly after they were born, and were adopted by wolves by accident and grew up. After growing up, they were discovered and returned to the human race, but because they have been in the wolf pack for too long, these "wolf kids" retain many of the habits of wolves. Even if they learn some languages later, it is difficult to truly integrate into normal life. , And their life expectancy is greatly shortened because of the habit of eating raw meat when they were young.
Another story of "adopted by a wolf" is derived from the legend of the city of Rome. The two babies thrown into the river by the tyrant Amurius were first fed by the wolf and then taken home by the shepherd to take care of them. The two children After growing up, he avenged his mother and built a city where the river had receded in the past. That city was named after one of his children, Romulo, which was Rome. These "wolf boys" with special identities between the two ethnic cultures are on the one hand in the confrontation between the two cultures, on the other hand, they shoulder the task of pioneering the creation of the city and civilization for later generations. This is probably the focus of this play. The core of it.
Because this drama seems to release multiple episodes at a time, the review of this drama also uses multiple episodes as a whole to tell and analyze.
The Genesis of the Atheists-Plot Analysis of Episodes 1-3 of "Alien Cataclysm"
Spoiler alert
Let's first briefly introduce the outline of each episode.
1
The cyborg father and mother arrived on a habitable planet in a fast shuttle boat. They were a colonial team sent by the failed atheists after the struggle between the atheist camp and the Mithraist camp. Here, father He and his mother should try to conceive a group of children, and let these children become the seeds for the establishment of an atheistic society in the future, and carry on the scientism and pacifism thoughts.
However, the six children conceived did not grow up healthily as they expected. They reclaimed wasteland and planted food. However, with Tali’s accidental disappearance, the other children fell ill one by one, leaving only the strongest at birth. The child: Campion.
The father and mother’s plan failed, and there was only one child left and naturally unable to continue the race. At this time Mithraism also came to this planet to prepare for exploration. My father wanted to inform Mithraism to allow them to accept Campion. At least let this child live.
But this is contrary to the mother’s belief. The mother shut down his father, but Campion took the opportunity to trigger the contact device, so the Mithraists found them and wanted to take Campion away. Unexpectedly, the mother suddenly incarnate at this time. The killing machine not only prevented Mithraism from plundering, but also pretended to be Captain Marcus to board the Mithraism Ark, manipulated the Ark to crash, and brought back some Mithraism children.
This time, the mother can start again, complete her preset tasks, and build a world of atheists with scientific thinking.
2
Mary and Celebrity were soldiers from the atheist camp. They found an opportunity to occupy the magpie’s nest and board the Mithraist Ark, so they underwent face-changing surgery and became the officer Marcus Drusus and him. His wife, Su, sneaked into the officer's house and killed the real two people, and boarded the Ark as an imposter. Of course, the two of them later discovered that they actually had a child named Paul. Therefore, as the murderers who killed the children's parents, the two people also have to take care of the children.
Back in time, the mother restarted the father with the processor of the killed man-made humans. The two need to take care of these children again. The mother needs a pair of eyes to transform into a powerful killing tool. Although there is a gap between the mother and the father, The mother still told his father where to hide his eyes.
This new wave of children is not as easy to teach as those before. They already believe in Mithraism and know the nature of the mother’s killing machine. They want to escape secretly, and even Campion is a little afraid. To the mother.
But the mother treated them well at least, and one of the girls named Temple was pregnant by a high-ranking Mithraist, and her mother took special care of her.
It was late at night, and a strange creature on this planet invaded their residence. Although these creatures were killed under the power of their mothers, why did these creatures only appear after more than ten years? This makes father and mother both heartbroken. Confuse.
On the other hand, Captain Marcus of Mithraism who visited his mother's place at the time was not killed by his mother. The remnants of Mithraism rescued him. The struggle between Mithraism and atheism is still far away. Not over.

On the way to the habitable planet of Mithraism, Marcus and Sue established a friendly relationship with their child Paul, whom they had to accept. They also gave Paul a white mouse, looking forward to living happily on a new planet. Days. The mother's invasion destroyed their dreams and robbed Paul.
The children did not believe in the fact that there was an animal invasion. They believed that the mother was lying to them, and the bodies of several children became weak. Even Campion wondered whether the mother was secretly poisoning these children.
Seeing that the children were not in good health, the mother went to the crashed Ark to find medicine. Campion tricked his father to lock him up and took a few children to the crash site of the Ark.
On the way to the Ark, the mother encountered the remnants of Mithraism. Mithraism used an artificial bait to hide from the mother’s attack. The mother and father who came back with the medicine set off separately to find the escaped child. They.
Except for Paul, the other children were found by their father. The analysis when filling the spacecraft with fuel revealed that the reason for these children’s weakness was the radiation of the carbon nucleus, and the ensuing monster attacks also let the children know the authenticity of the threat. .
On the other side, Paul, who was lost, stumbled and fell into a mysterious pit, and Mithraism also dispatched an entire army to try to retrieve their kidnapped children.
Because of the participation of Director Lei in this play, from the overall style, there is no doubt that Director Lei has a cold alien temperament, and there are even some weakened versions of alien alien creatures.
Of course, these are just the appearance of the work. The story itself is the dispute between Mithraism and atheists, the discussion about the duality of religion and science, and the story of Campion, which lies between the two. "Stellar Catastrophe" this drama wants to discuss the core.
First of all, from the setting point of view, the earth was basically destroyed due to the battle between Mithraism and the atheist camp. Although Mithraism finally won, the earth is no longer suitable for survival, so Mithraism brought some selected ones. People ride the Ark to search for extraterrestrial planets (two atheists who pretend to be Marcus and Sue are among them), and the atheist camp has launched some faster ships to rebuild the world of atheists on habitable planets. Only this time the two factions met again.
The concept of artificial humans is probably also one of the highlights of the film. Artificial humans are probably Mithranian technology, or there are artificial humans in the atheist camp. It’s not good to say, but the destructive spiritual caller is the mother. This model is undoubtedly exclusive to Mithraism.
The father who came to the new planet was an ordinary man-made human, but the mother was transformed into a spiritual caller who took care of the child and taught atheism. Of course, she didn’t know it until Campion was about to be taken away by Mithraism. It really inspired her hidden abilities.
This is probably a pawn planned by the atheists when they send the spaceship. After all, only relying on a slightly stronger state of the cyborg cannot withstand all dangers.
The awakened mother possesses many abilities, such as flying, invulnerability, sound waves destroying creatures, freezing and dissolving objects in breath, imitating sounds, changing appearance, and possibly some perceptual abilities, etc. It seems to be invincible for the time being, but she is definitely not omniscient and omnipotent. From the very beginning, the establishment of this powerful image was born for the purpose of finding a way to defeat it later. Of course, the mother’s original intention was not bad, but because she had a position in the atheist camp, so for the people of Mithraism, she Just an angel from hell.
Therefore, from the very beginning of this play, the story of an atheist's creation has become more complicated due to the introduction of the Mithraism camp. We might as well discuss the issue of Mithraism here.
In fact, this Mithraist belief, the so-called God Sol, is very similar to many religions today.
It is hard for us to imagine that with this kind of religious thinking, their technology can be so advanced, even surpassing the atheism camp with scientific thinking. We can see the superstition and Campion in the Ark from the perspective of Marcus. Seeing the faith of the newcomers has made us wonder for a while.
But sure enough, in fact, the real senior management is absolutely sober. The reason for the emergence of Mithraism is just to soothe the heart and facilitate management. The high-level Mithraism enjoys the spiritual and physical pleasure brought by power in this stable system (I am sure the third episode The two high-level women who created humans and followers definitely have other uses, and the high-level who violated Templeter’s wickedness might not really be executed, maybe even the high-level in the third episode)
At the same time, in the first episode, those so-called doctrines and prayers did not save the lives of the real Marcus and Sue, so this so-called Mithraism is based on high-level lies, and even creates a spiritual caller Such a powerful weapon does not seem to be a peace-loving good at all.
On the other hand, Campion did not understand this. Although he received atheism education, he would have a natural suspicion and fear. After knowing the terrifying side of his mother, he would naturally alienate that set of scientific thinking. The dead brothers and sisters also made him try to find a touch of comfort in his faith.
In fact, faith itself is not a sin. The high-level Mithraism who use faith to deceive the public for profit are probably the real evil ones.
Speaking of Campion, this child is absolutely special. He is the one who almost died out of the six children conceived in vitro by his mother. He is also the child who grew up healthy under the radiation of carbon nucleus, not to mention the secret. According to the prophecies of Tela religion, the legend that orphans who grew up in the wilderness will become prophets, all makes Campion's importance self-evident.
Don't forget, the "wolf boy" referred to by the title Raised by Wolves may be Campion. Under the nurturing of his kind father and mother with changeable personality, he gradually understands this society from his own perspective. Whether it is theism or atheism, different thoughts collide and meet with him, and his growth will It is the core thread of the play.
Of course, there are still many doubts about the true identity of the mother. Just like Mithraism says, the atheists have never successfully transformed the spirit caller, so whose masterpiece is the mother? From the setting point of view, the mother really firmly hopes to establish an atheistic society, so her care for human children is absolutely true, and she will even try to end her life because she may unconsciously harm her children.
Including the howling of the wolf after the death of the first child, Tully, and the almost overloaded performance of the last child outside Campion, Sibi Rui, all showed the mother's determination to this plan. And this kind of stubbornness, which is almost overwhelming, may also make her go crazy.
This setting reminds me of the role of the robot mother in "My Mother". The same heterogeneous parenting child also looks dangerous and even puzzling behavior, but in the end, it proves everything she has done. All for the survival of the human race.
It's a pity that the mother, who now looks almost invincible, and the creator of Mithraism, will inevitably have countermeasures.
Another line of Mithraism is developed from the perspective of Marcus and Sue. On the one hand, they perceive this faith-filled society from the perspective of an atheist, and quickly discover its hypocritical nature. On the other hand, After being recruited into the army by the atheist camp since childhood, they finally put down their butcher knife, and even established an intimacy with their children that they shouldn't have, and therefore cherished the Paul who was robbed by his mother. Their pursuit of their children will definitely come to the opposite of their mothers.
At the same time, they still have to be wary of identity crises caused by imitation of identity. After all, although religion is hypocritical, the estrangement between theist and atheist camps and the threat of opposition to each other are real.
Finally, talk about the planet itself.
Although there is a lower limit of livable environment, the planet itself is still very mysterious.
Where did the strange creatures that suddenly appeared after living for more than ten years come from? Was it the fall of the Ark that awakened these lives or was there another hidden story?
Where do those regular circular voids and the warm currents that rise from them come from?
Why did the first child, Tully, fall into this cave, or whether the missing child really died, and what is the connection between this and this cave?
This mysterious planet conceived by Director Lei really has the taste of those strange aliens in the "Alien" series. Human beings are rebuilding civilization in the wilderness. What exactly do they really need to be wary of?
Is it the sinister environment itself?
Is it a blasphemy of science?
Or fall into the abyss of hypocritical belief?
Is it from the persecution of evil human nature?
Or is it a disagreement of mutual suspicion?
Or maybe, both.

On the children’s side, the mother found Paul, who had disappeared because of seeing the mysterious person. The children finally returned home. Knowing that the remnants of Mithraism might find the children by locating, the mother took the children’s body Throw the positioning device far away.
The monster (or a beast) that was subdued and tied up at the end of the last episode became a target for the father to train the children to become stronger and brave, and to eat its flesh after killing it. The kind-hearted Campion didn’t want to kill, so he looked for food that could replace the radiant charcoal, but he died without a problem, so his father asked the children to try to hunt the beast, but the children didn’t have the courage to kill it. biology.
The mother went to investigate a crashed dormant cabin, entered the virtual environment, recalled Campion’s benevolence as a child and explained the old news that the remaining embryos had been destroyed a long time ago.
On the other side, Mithraism set out to search for the children, but ran into a strange and warm building with five horns in the desert.
