Murderbot being ⭐starstruck⭐ by Mensah (and out of its marbles)

was watching Murderbot when i noticed a detail on Gurathin's sweater:

you see that???? THAT'S VISIBLE MENDING!!!!! the attention to detail in this show is so delightful, so in line with their characters backgrounds. OF COURSE Preservation Alliance citizens mend their clothes! now i'm wondering why they used contrasting colors, is it to show that not even thread goes to waste? is it to be whimsical? maybe even to show off the care they put in their clothes by mending patching darning etc?

i was already piqued when the crew appeared in their non-research clothes, many of them seem to be loose, comfortable garments, knit, natural fibers, earth tones that one could get from natural dyes. this is just the cherry on top.

Murderbot 1x07 "Complementary Species"

[improbabledreams900]

Honestly the Murderbot show is doing a great job showing the difference its helmet makes. At first I thought they’d want it down most of the show so we could see Alexander’s face (ya know, because they hired an actor and not a stunt double), but it’s really becoming clear that the helmet being on or off is part of the story. And honestly helmet!Murderbot IS significantly scarier.

Murderbot with its helmet on (especially with the robotic voice treatment) is a (literally) faceless killing machine, and no one knows what it’s going to do next. Murderbot with its helmet off is a perpetually confused, anxious, and stressed person who wants to get this over with so it can go back to its shows and be left alone.

This adds a lot of nuance to whenever the PresAux team asks/begs it to take its helmet off. The team desperately needs to gauge its “human” facial expressions in order to feel safe vs. please god let me stay in my helmet if they see all my involuntary facial reactions they’re going to Ask About My Feelings again.
