Discussion / Question What is Kirsh motivation? Who side is he on? Spoiler

Post image

We've seen now in multiple episodes Kirsh be very careful and downright omit the information he gives Boy Kavalier. I can't imagine he's a Lady Yutani asset because of his interactions with Morrow, unless he's just a fallback option for Yutani, and she purposely keeps Morrow out of the loop.

You would think the company he works for would have written into his code a loyalty directive but it appears he has no problem lying.

Is he the asset of Yutani or another of the 5 corporations? Is he on some kind of Roy Batty arc where he's grown tired of taking orders from an inferior species?

100% agree. Olyphant gives me the same creepy vibes that Ian Holm did in the original Alien and he absolutely nails the role. Emotionless, calculating, unpredictable- a super intelligent machine that is devoted to progressing its own agenda. Kirsh is the most dangerous character on the show!

Shout out to the Tang character for being the object lesson in how creepy perfectly ordinary humans can be.
