A fascinating and important Raised by Wolves 2.3 today on HBO Max, in which Marcus beats Father in a fight, and Father works on bringing an android skeleton back to life (or tries to).
Other important and fascinating things happened too. But those were the two most important and fascinating.
Marcus beats Father in a fight. Campion later asks Father how that could happen? Father either doesn't know, or doesn't want to discuss this with Campion. Later, we see Father, still not completely recovered from his thrashing by Marcus, rather easily beat a brute of an industrial android. So Father, even hurt, is a pretty formidable opponent in a fight. How, then, did Marcus, a human, prevail over Father?
My best guess, at this point, is that Marcus himself has some sort of android essence. He certainly doesn't look like Father or Mother. But do we really know what's inside him? Did we get any clues to this in Season One? Perhaps Marcus is some sort of what we would today call a bionic human -- a human being invested with some sort of powerful non-organic materials.
Meanwhile, Father later discovers that some of his white fuel -- what serves in effect for him and Mother as blood -- can begin to animate the android skeleton. This now raises what could be a pivotal, crucial question of what that android will be when it comes to "life"? (Surely we'll see that happen, with any luck not too further in the future of this season.)
The title for this excellent episode is "Good Creatures". I assume that name pertains at very least to the flying serpent. At this point, I'd say the serpent being an herbivore is not as important as Marcus vs. Father, or Father and the android skeleton. But the presumably good serpent (after all, it may not be good, even though it is an herbivore) could have further, increased importance as the season progresses, just another reason I'm very much looking forward to the ensuing episodes.
