Humanity’s fate doesn’t look good in any case, considering Shogun World’s introduction revealed that members of the human rescue team, otherwise known as the cavalry, were murdered and on public display. Yikes.
Unfortunately, that connection is heavily tied to the murder of loved ones.
What should have been a complete massacre was averted by Maeve, and I am certain her innate connection to her doppel-bot Akane will be as important as I hope in the rest of Season 2 and beyond.
