“I have never been prouder of anything in my life than I am of you,” the man says.
“You’re more pleasing than I imagined,” says the android, when the man gives her back her eyes.
“I please you?” he replies, seemingly grateful beyond words to hear it.
I single out these lines in episode five of Raised by Wolves (“Infected Memory”) because they’re so swooningly romantic to hear—but they’re not the voices of lovers speaking to one another. The android is the man’s creation, and the man is preparing to send her from his side forever, in hopes that she will preserve a kernel of humanity rocketed from a dying world. That’s Raised by Wolves for you: constantly tapping wellsprings of emotion where you least expect to find them.
I reviewed episode five of Raised by Wolves for Decider.
