I want to start by asking, you know, Murderbot sees itself as so distant from humans and really
0:03
seems to hate them, but I think there are a few characteristics that are really relatable to us
0:09
Was there an aspect of the character that you found resonated with you the most
0:14
All of them? Maybe that's something I need to talk to my psychiatrist about
0:20
Yeah, the murderous intent. No, what? There's a moment where Murderbot exhibits a very specific
0:26
behavior it's the one where he just goes to the wall and just goes yeah i was like oh thank god
0:32
that's not just me it's my favorite thing so yes yes i i have like a sad corner that i'm like my
0:39
recharging corner in my room i'm a security unit built to protect humans and humans are
0:47
do you think it has a pp it could go in any sort of direction like a big worm stupid
0:53
I really related to Murtabot. There a lot of humanity there and that was super fun to explore over the course of the season For me as an actor but also for Murtabot as a character Because I think Murtabot when it has gained autonomy and free will
1:10
it is then suddenly forced to confront its own humanity. I don't know if it hates humans
1:15
I think it's intimidated by them or just like, it's like any kind of interaction that doesn't entail straight up giving
1:22
and receiving orders is uncomfortable. and it's incredibly socially awkward in those moments
1:28
But then suddenly it's surrounded by humans that treat it not like a piece of inventory, but as a member of the team
1:34
And that confuses it. And then slowly it starts to explore its own humanity
1:40
and connect with these humans very reluctantly. But I thought it was kind of sweet and beautiful
1:47
how it slowly starts to act in a selfless manner, which is very disturbing
1:55
And I think it's quite scary to worry about it as well because it is never connected with anyone ever And it in a way safe not to do that you more vulnerable and exposed when you start to care about other people it intimidating to kind of open up in that in
2:13
that regard you can hear us i could i just didn't care i was watching the entertainment channels on
2:19
the company's satellites i had watched 7532 hours of content the social anxiety i think i think
2:26
everyone's felt like um you know like they want to sequester themselves away or they want to you
2:33
know um just not go out and not see people and you know you want to watch sit in the corner and
2:39
watch your favorite tv show um and i think everyone's felt like that at some point so i
2:43
do think there's that aspect is incredibly relatable yeah um totally different answer
2:48
might be the judgment the very harsh judgment of just idiots the humans that are idiots you know
2:57
and just how quick it is to write them off I think that the worst part of us as humans of how quick we can we can do that yeah I think the thing that resonated most with me when i think about murderbot is walking through this world sometimes i feel so disconnected from the
3:15
way i see the majority of humans behaving especially if you turn on the news these days
3:20
i was gonna say hate humans i'm like yeah i i'm a human but i hate humans we're all human so many
3:25
humans scare me there's so many humans right now that are wielding and utilizing both power and
3:30
position and i guess it's historically always been this way in the most cruel way yeah for
3:34
cruelty, alienation, power. And so I look at humans sometimes and I go, is this what evolution has led
3:40
us to? And the opposite side of that is much bigger. And we have to trust that. We have to
3:46
trust that because it's literally that bring it, come back to your own environment and smile and
3:51
say hello. Be kind. That's the biggest thing you can do. Be kind. Just say hello to somebody. Just
3:58
smile at somebody. Let them know that you see them. It's simple. It's really simple
4:03
you're gonna kill me there was a chance yes but everything turned out fine
