Hide AdBenji explained: “Ben Stiller apparently ruled out the theory of cloning - but not about Eugenics. The idea here is that they are trying to breed perfect specimens to act as a "vessel" for those who are nearing death - it would explain the goats, it might even explain the odd cast working in the Mammalians Nurturable department in Episode 3.
“This theory also places the idea that perhaps the patriarch of the Eagan family might be looking to live on eternally, through the use of a 'vessel' and his memories implanted through the severance process. Which then leads to the concern of if Helena/Helly R might be pregnant after her dalliance with Mark.”
He added: “Glasgow Break - based on the Glasgow Coma Scale, which in medicine determines how much of the brain functions during a coma or a stroke (which Mark suffered in Episode 6). Could the severance process basically cause a coma or brain death for a period of time, where people don't recount those memories?”
Now that we’ve wet your whistle, it is time you rush out to listen to the latest episode of Screen Babble. Find the links for Spotify and Apple podcasts here.
