Ahhhhhhhhhhh

One final reminder!

If you're a fan of The Harbingers and around either NYC or Chicago, we are doing special preview events for the season finale in both of these cities!

Our NYC event is tomorrow night!

And our Chicago event is a week later on the 16th!

Be the first to hear our explosive season finale ahead of its wide release on the 18th.

The Ex!

I really like the idea that she initially passes for human, but after spending 30 years on the bottom of the creek she’s had some damage exposing the more android-y parts of her, which also explains why people after that first episode seem to identify her as an android On Sight… It also forces her to adapt to some physical change and in some sense take more control over her body/appearance in her recovery, which I think is great as part of her character arc :)

Anyway, really pleased with how the shading turned out on this one, so have a detail shot

Ransom's plot against Marta relies on the idea that she is slipshod, unreliable, dishonest, and just as parasitic toward Harlan as his family is -- in short, the racist, fascist stereotype of an immigrant. But in fact, Marta is superb at her job, more trustworthy and honest than anyone else in that house, and has a genuine friendship with Harlan. Like real immigrants to America, she is skilled, brave, hardworking, and generous almost to a fault, and it saves her life.

Miles' attempt to steal Andi's company relies on the public perception that a white man is smarter than a Black woman, and more likely to be a world-changing disruptor -- as well as on the grasping, mercurial behavior of Andi's supposed friends, and the bet that no one would value Andi's work and life above their own financial position. But in fact, not only was Andi infinitely smarter and bolder than Miles, she was loved infinitely more: even after her death, her life and memory was more important to Helen than the Mona Lisa. Helen's love and boldness brought Miles down, even if she couldn't bring Andi back.

And of course, Jefferson Wicks, Nat, and Martha all try to embroil Jud in their plots by either painting him as violent or trying to provoke him into actual violence, relying on the stereotype that men, especially poor men, are fundamentally violent people. But in fact, Jud is empathetic, gentle, and forgiving, and his desire to understand and forgive the people around him is what solves the mystery and at last brings peace to his parish.
