Would anyone like a fun analysis on Uzi's dad, Khan, in episode 3? Time to rant because it made me way too happy.
Well, it's under the cut
Khan was awesome this episode. Sure him taking her "rambling" evidence and grounding Uzi for interacting with the Murder Drones was annoying and angering from her perspective.
But it's not like he took it because he wanted her mad. Obviously.
Murder Drones have hurt his wife and friends and own kind for years beforehand. At the end of the second episode - when he reunites with Uzi - he sees N [A Murder Drone] run off in a frenzy.
The dots he connects right then might as well been; Uzi is sad, the murder bot was in the same area and runs away quickly, the same murder drone also hurt his family, Uzi must have been hurt by him, it might be better to make her stay away from the Murder Drones' business.
Why else would he also try to get her to connect with her classmates after hearing the one specific moment where some classmates specifically insulted her?
And then also chaperone the prom while she connects with others [hopefully] so he sees her make 'safer' friends.
Then the actual prom... He is on edge when Uzi isn't around. Which also contradicts Lizzy saying a scene before that 'No one will notice her [his daughter] missing..', which was nice to see contradicted one scene later.
Yes he tries to escape when seeing V. But she was the most crazy murderer and wasn't even a Uzi friend in the first place like N. Of course he'd try to leave. But the door is locked by Doll, which makes him linger. And also get to see Uzi come back with N.
He doesn't speak the rest of the episode, but that also means he never scolds or even looks mad at his little girl clearly going against his new rule. Then the doors unlock when Doll gets busy to kill V.
The thing is though, we see Khan actually try to stay back in the prom room, even though he is the closest to the unlocked door and has everyone nearly shove him out with them.
He stays near the doorway in a feared-freeze, not running away for the entire time of Uzi's speech defending the murder drones. He's blurry, but you see him in the open doorway. Staying still, not looking behind himself, focusing on Uzi. It isn't like he is looking down at the threat in the room [The red helmet wearing girl]
He smiled when Uzi finished her speech and seemed clearly happy with what she said positively about the Disassembly Drones [maybe even internally reflecting on his rule to keep her away from them earlier in the same episode?]
And he even tried to get to Uzi the moment she was attacked (and shoved out of danger by N, her Murder Drone friend)
But Doll locked him out and made him not help in the fight [or at least tend to Uzi] by force..
It was just nice to see him be so awesome after that pilot betrayal he did to Uzi. But I will never forget the line in the second episode as well..
"It sounds like she's bored in YOUR class, and the other kids SUCK. Call her damaged again, and I will install a DOOR on YOUR FACE!"
Yes, it sounds stupid as a defense. But his life is around doors. Doors he built to protect his own kind and family are clearly significant. And if Uzi heard her dad say that for her, I bet she'd know how important that would actually mean from him.
It really shows that after her self-banishment and what the teacher said about her bad times in class made him want to be more involved with his last family member [allegedly last] and make things better.

I would like to give a small reminder that episodes 1-4 all have some time skip in between them, be it a few days or maybe even months.
Episodes 5-7 happen in one day.
N: Almost dies, recovers all his past trauma, almost dies X2, is tasked with killing his girlfriend, watches V die, almost dies X3, meets his girlfriend's mom, has to kill one of his childhood friends, watches his girlfriend get possessed, almost dies X4, is forced to confess to mixed results, sees Tescyn, almost dies X5, and watches his girlfriend sacrifice herself all in
ONE DAY.
Episode 8 better let this man die or give him a god damn break. Preferably the latter.

I just realized in the beginning of episode 3, when uzi is sleeping, it says "sleep mode" but at the end of episode 4, apparently, uzi is sleeping without it saying "sleep mode" is it a coincidence orrr?

WARNING! SPOILERS!!!
Yeah, thanks to episode 4 of Murder Drones, I have even less faith in Doll's motivation in ep3.
Because, well, why did she finally decide to take revenge????? In the pilot episode, we were shown that death is such a funny thing that no one cares who and when and where died. The situation was literally:
Drone A: My brother died today. He was killed right in front of my eyes....
Drone B: Oh... it's so sad. My condolences. Do you want to play cards?
Drone A: OH SHIT, I'M GOING TO PLAY AHAHAHA.
They seemed to quickly forget about their grief and they didn't care about the dead. I don't feel that seriousness.
And in episode 4, the same thing. It seems like half of Uzi's class has died, but their teacher doesn't care. So, I don't understand why Doll decided to take revenge? Her revenge doesn't look organic and look made up at all.
After the 1st and 2nd episodes of Murder Drones, I was so surprised that someone cares about death. That it actually makes someone feel bad. I didn't expect Doll to take revenge at all.
My reaction was literally: Wait a minute... THE MURDERS ARE NOT A JOKE????? Was that really serious??? what???? WHAT?!?!?
I don't know, but it seems like a problem to me. Death is presented to us as some kind of joke. They can easily shoot someone and no one will care. Even if this victim was their friend or someone else in their life. So, Doll's motivation to "avenge V for the murder of my parents" looks fake to me.
But this is just my opinion and you, of course, may not agree with it.
