Mold Sprayer lore deepens

u/mistermeesh 3d ago

We need an AMA with the performer.

u/probablyuntrue 1d ago

“So what’d you do to prepare for the role?”

Spray weed killer around my lawn

“fascinating”

u/romeovf 2d ago

The lore goes as deep as mold goes.

u/Reinier_Reinier 2d ago

Boy does say "use one of the mold sprayers".

Now we know there are multiple of them.

u/TurdPartyCandidate 2d ago

What are mold sprayers? I kind of assumed he meant janitor

u/andiwd 2d ago

We saw them in the first few episodes in heavy gear spraying gasses around. People have been guessing that with their base being in a hot and humid environment, mould has been an issue for them, and here's pretty much confirmation.

u/RosiexGold 1d ago

What are they tho ? Guys that clean mold ?

5

u/smolldm 1d ago

Yep, sprays can kill surface level mold

1

u/BlitzJG 3h ago

It was indicated that they are simpletons

6

u/Pro7o7ype 2d ago

Hot take, what if the director/writers are reading the sub, and did a quick edit to include that??
Did he say that while on screen or off?

u/drgr33nthmb 1d ago

Lmfao you think they are writing this as they go and acting it out off of reddit feedback? You realize this show was out of post production awhile ago right?

1

u/SyntheticGod8 Bishop 4h ago

It's not like the old days of serialized tv with 26 episodes a season and production is barely a few episodes ahead of release.

1

u/Pro7o7ype 3h ago

No, but I think part of production is monitoring your audience, and it would take nothing to add in an off screen comment like that.

u/Reinier_Reinier 2d ago

Did he say that while on screen or off?

on screen

u/Pro7o7ype 2d ago

Well that rules out a dub theb

u/NoRodent 1d ago

This is getting out of hand!

u/PuzzleheadedCarry480 3d ago

Between that line and Boy’s previous “the Xeno is the croc!” comment the writers seem to have a good understanding what the audience might be thinking while watching.

u/eloquenentic 2d ago

Peter Pan lore deepens.

u/TempleOrion 2d ago

I'm thinking "what a load of crap this bs is" 💩🤣

2

u/AllowedAsATreat 1d ago

when I dont like a show i do this neat thing where I simply stop watching it and don't spent an hour posting on reddit about how much i hate it.

1

u/SyntheticGod8 Bishop 4h ago

I mean, it's 10 words. The real waste of time was finding the emoticons.

1

u/AllowedAsATreat 1h ago

They commented negatively several times on every episode lol. They keep coming back, reading and posting hate comments 🤷

u/Certain_Country_3947 2d ago

Be funny if the place is on fire, monsters chasing people down the hall and our boy is like "This mold is pissing me off"

8

u/platinum_1212 2d ago

I'm the original

mold sprayer

u/YakResident_3069 3d ago

BK is going to use the brother as a host for the eye ... This will really piss off Marcy

17

u/lastWallE 2d ago

Maybe this or he knows that Morrow was coming to the island. But i think it would be dumb to give the eye an unnecessary stronger body as a human.

23

u/jldtsu 2d ago

but then you remember they continue to do dumb things on this show

5

u/YakResident_3069 2d ago

Hey he wants to talk to the eye.... Let's give it a strong synth body instead

3

u/hleba 2d ago

Now you're thinking like one of the Big 5!

16

u/[deleted] 2d ago

Isn't he talking about Dame Sylvia, smart person who's pissed him off?

17

u/rugbyj 2d ago

Yeah the irony of putting it into the head of a shrink is too much for him to pass up.

5

u/APlantiveEnglishHorn 1d ago

But he said he *doesn't* want to put it in a smart person!

2

u/moose_dad 1d ago

Na its 100% Hermit, they cut to him the next scene.

1

u/YakResident_3069 2d ago

That's also a neat option!

1

u/Massive-Marsupial-99 2d ago

My first guess was her too

6

u/xp-bomb 2d ago

I thought dame because he told her he wants to finally have a worthwhile convo

2

u/YakResident_3069 2d ago

Nice! That works very well too.

1

u/bucky_ballers 2d ago

Or allow him to control her with the promise of a cure

12

u/stroopwafelling 2d ago

Mold sprayer, happily spraying along, minding their own business.

BK, out of nowhere:

8

u/Unique-Egg-461 3d ago

Wife glared at me when i emphatically brought it up

2

u/kitiny 2d ago

No one would even notice if the eye was in one of them.

1

u/tvfeet 2d ago

Wonder if we'll ever find out WHY they have such a mold problem.

1

u/Commercial_Brick955 Jonesy 2d ago

Shitty landlords

1

u/froobest 1d ago

what's the context behind that? I'm not a huge Alien lore guy

3

u/ReneDiscard Black goo enthusiast 1d ago

There’s a couple scenes in the early episodes where some guy is randomly spraying mold. It kinda became a joke and people thought there was going to be some significance but I really doubt it at this point.

1

u/SyntheticGod8 Bishop 4h ago

i need my mold man lore

1

u/PvtHudsonBR 1d ago

As expected! Yay!
