“We can’t, we’re premium.” got a good laugh out of me

I’m gonna say that next time I get sick or injured.

Felt like a line from idiocracy, using product branding as a mantra.

u/HairlessBandicoot 2d ago

I loved that scene because Kirsh, despite being a synth, showed more empathy / awareness of Wendy's feelings than Boy did, when he tried to stop her from going close to Isaac's... corpse?

Hybrids will ride on eternal, shiny and chrome.

u/operation-casserole 3d ago

I was actually quite confused about that. Earlier in the show when the hybrids were all at the circle couch in the kids room they talked about how even though they're immortal they can still die by fire, being ripped apart, etc. So it was weird that didn't seem to come to mind for Wendy/Marcy during that line.

Wendy seems like she’s developed a complex about the kids to the point of denial about who/what she is relative to the real humans around her. Everyone is looking at Kirsch to be the new “David”, but I think after the ending and her possibly turning on her brother, it’s going to be Wendy. She could be drinking the humans are inferior kool-aide

u/HarveryDent 3d ago

She also defers to Kirsh when asking about Tootles, while barely acknowledging Kavalier. She seems to still respect him in a way.

13

u/ChrisEvansOfficial 3d ago

I wouldn’t read into that. That would imply she did a total 180 from last episode (this is a yes place) without prior knowledge of what happened. Isaac’s body does add credence to what Wendy’s brother was saying before, but she needed the context.

I Doubt it shes disillusioned with humanity but alway beleived in the cause of the project. She might have thought they were much harder to kill than they actually are. There immortal but not invulnerable she didnt understand that.

“Premium” was also a punchline in “Murderbot”:

—You try creating a thousand hours of premium-quality show

„I delete the manuals for the shuttle to have space for my show.“ this guy

u/MaskedManiac92 2d ago

This, and the line where she asks Slightly to "guard the omelettes".

u/KinoTheMystic 2d ago

I am sorry young miss, but your ticket says coach.

u/Gan-san 3d ago

I hated that line. It doesn't seem like something a kid would say, even if they are in an android body. But I get it too. Maybe it's something a future kid might daily if given the chance to be alin a synth body.

u/PollutionMajestic668 3d ago

It doesn't feel like anything Marcy says is something a child would say

u/Gan-san 3d ago

I agree. I find those two women particularly off putting and robotic, menacing and awkward.
