I know I’m reading too much into this, but Badgey’s ascension kind of says something very thought provoking.

I can’t let go of the fact that Badgey had his personality stripped down to little more than pure vengance. Yet when he achieves omniscience, this is immediately put aside by a feeling of being something greater, then ascends to points beyond. Is this a deliberate story point to suggest the possibility of asension being a process outside of morals, inner peace, and logic, or is that an accident? Or did Badgey somehow summon new facets to his psyche out of this experience? Or is the door left open for a malevolent presence to come crashing down on everyone later?

Then again, we already had one gag where ascending was a “wait, it’s that easy?!” moment, so maybe that’s all there is to it.

Agreed. We don’t need any more computer bad guys. Besides, Daystrom appears to be tight on evil supercomputer AI storage as it is.

Oh no.

It’s another menagerie, isn’t it?

Edit: that or the Pakleds started hiring subcontractors.

I want to disagree with this but… you’re right. Heck, in Raiders, Jones actively makes the entire situation worse before the story kind of fixes itself.

Thank you. This makes a lot of sense. I mean, in-universe it’s nuts, but out here in the real world - artistic license for a better show is a-okay in my book. Besides, it’s the reason I muscled through season 2 to start with.
