Any chance Taalr is


John? (highly unlikely, I know). Or at least someone we've seen before...?

reply

I think its John. But if it is, how was his body in middle of room with rest of the bodies and a sheet over the body. If its anybody we'd assume (especially John). His humanix body would be so stored away somewhere locked up where no one knows about it. So that entire scene leaves me puzzled.

But if that scenes just about Taalar taking over any ordinary humanix body then it make sense and im good with that. Guess wait till next season to see if im hating or liking what they did.

When I saw the black hair from behind I immediately thought of John. If it is, why would a artificial intelligence take the form of his creator?

reply

It was obviously Philip Marlowe.

Or Chevy Chase, The Invisible Man. ;-)

TAALR would choose to look like John because then Molly could never bring herself to kill him or let anyone else hurt him.

Two seasons of "That's my SON!" gets replaced by "That's my HUSBAND!"

reply

Offspring often try to mimic their creators. This would explain why he created the Molly humanic as well(notice how he was going to have her be the one in charge, even over Lucy). I think he ultimately wants to be John. Obviously a better version of him in his own twisted perspective.

Phillip K Dick?

That's what I was thinking.

Actually, when we first saw a Humanic body being assembled, I assumed Taalr was prepping a body for himself and it would in the design of one of his creators. If it were John, it would do the memory of the character some justice. He needed to become evil.

Looked more like Yasumoto to me

I thought of John immediately.

I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it.
