Mother kind of reminds me of Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still.
The scenes with the original Campion reprogramming the necromancer had a recording playing in the background that said something like "Warning: Low oxygen in this sector!".
So I think the war totally destroyed the atmosphere.
One thing that seems a bit odd to me is that one of the "war" flashbacks shows that the year was something like 2145. Its hard to believe that technology would advance THAT fast in less than 130 years. A Necromancer from this show would TOTALLY destroy any version of Terminator we've ever seen, as well as Data and any other Sci Fi TV Androids. Gort is the only comparison I can think of.
Also, that's a pretty short time period for what seems like all religions to be replaced by revived "Sol Invictus" worship, for a long enough timer period that people have grown up with their own lullabies since childhood. But I'm sure they'll go into more detail about that.

Change is inevitable...
Maybe there is some huge jump in technology and then some unexplained world event...that's probably where it all comes from

Really like this show. The way they've shifted empathy throughout the episodes has been
The opening credits - as well as Mother's design really remind me of Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis'.

#WeDemBoyz Season Has Returned
Why are we assuming religion and technology on the show advance at the same rate as they do for us in real life?
This show
I had the trippiest dreams, based on the world they created, after the first three eps. Mother's necromancer form is terrifying and beautiful at the same time. That "come at me bro" pose when she flies
Their depiction of an alien world, while clearly filmed on Earth, seems more alien than most worlds depicted in sci-fi. I attribute that to the color grading. Who knew something so gray could be so piff.

I definitely foresee some sort of swerve when it comes to Mother (and possibly father) but I understand her so much more after this episode.
HBO Max has its first legit original and, so far, it's at a level you'd expect from an HBO show

With watchmen we knew the gay thing was coming
Look how much technology has advanced since the 90s man
the 80s 
since .....*2020 minus 130*... 1890
and it only took a brief war in iraq of all places to ignite and empower extremism in the fasting growing religion on the planet right now - its not a stretch to say that any sort of galvanizing effect could reasonably occur in such a time... shyt, christians have been waiting for a legit crusade season to pop off again for centuries.
but that's a tangent to itself - just let the story be told man. they clearly got it handled
its actually incredible. I still can't believe the range on display here eitherThis show

Episode 5 she starts off as an exhausted, resented caretaker. Then she's watching herself in atrocity mode (not even apparent then that she had selective fukks to give when it came to humans, fully expected her to 
seeing one of her non-6 children get splashed), then she's finally getting the context of her creator and I don't even know if she factors in the fact that he's human at all (and that doubles up with how she feels towards Tempest who she's also revered as a creator), then that baby scene 
(right after this talk of lullabies and humming), then the final test and send off. fukk - she's reacting to ALL of it. she acting her ass off brehs
edit: then father looking at her when she gets back like she just got some good dikk
"you're starting to sound like a believer"
"that silly
my creator is real"
But that's also something I'd always loved to see expanded on in these man v machine self awareness approaches. God being real is an ongoing discussion that gets harder and hard to continue as man moves forward. Machines can not only see their god/creator, but also his limits and purpose. I can't wait to see how they cross these streams man

I think they've flipped our initial interpretation of Mother and her motives/psyche on its head by now. But that seems too convenient for a show that has made it's "twists" extremely subtle. shyt like
Father coming back, Caleb and Sarah being imposters, and Mother possibly being a protagonist, were all handle deftly as opposed to being shockers. There's also the question of why Caleb and Sarah got so connected to Paul. There has to be more than the little interaction they've had with him. I'm looking forward to see how they subvert our expectations, even more, going forward
I literally had the same thought, when it comes to extrapolating a hundred years here or there, as far as the rate of technological advancement we've seen already happen. I'm not at all thrown off about the possibility the world could have tech to this level 125 years from now.Look how much technology has advanced since the 90s man

The dichotomy of what Caleb seems to slowly be going through with Mother's progression is fascinating. The show also is making social statements to present day without being too on the nose, like most shows. Her interactions with Tempest are so rewarding to watch. I'm so engrossed by the humans/androids that the "alien" creatures are an afterthought. I'm willing to say the study of AI on this show is better than Ex Machina, which is high praise. The potential for this series is sky fukking high
Then there's also the characterization of android reasoning too which is just.... goddamn well done. Even from one android to the next, the logic and values are fundamentally consistent even with varying goals and capability.
The stories Mother tells always seem to highlight and emphasize the wrong things. She's clearly never been taught how to teach, only to instruct - so her interpretation is what makes sense to her. Like when she talked to Tempest about nature/creation and the joy its supposed to bring. She does this with the salmon analogy because to her, there's no greater fulfillment than achieved purpose. That's her actual faith she's preaching. Doesn't even realize it. Low key, she helped push that girl to the suicide attempt.
Its also crazy how Father deals with things compared to Mother - its how they further show off what the differences in capability actually mean. Father centers himself with jokes, but after he 'dies', he takes the same humor diffusing approach with the alien when its dying slowly in the shed. He can't do it anywhere else.
To go even further. Campion betrayed him, Mother will never see him as an equal again when at one point he was the lead. He needs to bounce things off of people because he's failing at defining himself more and more. Mother had those problems for a while too, then she found God
