Marcus is doing a weird reverse where he went all "I'm the bad guy now!" to "I'm maybe not the baddest guy now!" Like he's still influenced by Sol or whatever, but he genuinely seems like he's trying to do it the 'right way'. Maybe he's just going Old Testament and everything he's doing is just to grow his Nation rather than trying to do things for good reasons.
I like Mother still. The fact she's out spear gun huntin' her own baby is pretty rad. Father obviously is the most sympathetic character as he's basically done 0 wrong in the entire series. I imagine that will change at some point.
Since this thing is going full Bible allegory, I'm wondering if the Serpent is actually going to be bad or not. If it was 1:1 obviously it would be, but something makes me think that the Quantum Computer is actually going to be the evil force. Maybe it's connected with the broadcast from the planet and knows about humans history etc, and isn't teling them because they're doomed to repeat it or they'll overtake the machines or some such shit.
