Murderbot – Season 1 Episode 5 Recap & Review
Rogue War Tracker Infinite
Episode 5 of Murderbot begins with our titular character still very much alive but in a rough state. After shooting itself in the chest, the group decide to pick Murderbot back up and bring it to base.
Arada is panicking and winds up shooting at someone in the distance though. It's a DeltFall survivor, who recounts how their SecUnit has also gone rogue.
LeeBeeBee is the name of this woman and she's from one of the Industrial Junctions. She's not sure whose SecUnit attacked them, but she's pretty shocked when she finds out that Murderbot shot itself to stop attacking the Preservation Society.
Bharadwaj does her best to try and save our SecUnit, removing the Combat Override Module and rebooting before turning it back online. However, Gurathin is here and he starts sifting through Murderbot's code to make sure there's nothing untoward there.
Gurathin realizes that Murderbot has already gone rogue and hacked its Governor Module. The group are split though with half of them (including LeeBeeBee) believing its scheming to undermine them. Bharadwaj and Ratthi believe its on their side side.
The company have a financial interest in keeping them alive but Gurathin believes that they need to keep it immobilized. That's not going to happen but Mensah wants Murderbot to stick around for the foreseeable future.
Murderbot reveals to them though that the HubSystem may have been hacked by an outside force. Thankfully, Murderbot has hacked the command flow and is feeding the company redundant feeds so they don't suspect anything.
The Preservation Society aren't able to access the beacon though so Mensah and Murderbot decide to head off together and access it manually.
On the way, Murderbot and Mensah talk casually, which our protagonist is taken aback by but certainly enjoying. As they get near the beacon, Mensah looks like she's about to share information about Gurathin but they're quickly interrupted. The beacon blows up, forcing them to quickly move the ship at then last second.
The Episode Review
Murderbot returns this week with another solid episode, this time with our protagonist back online and very much part of the group. Now that Murderbot's secrets are out (kinda) it adds a new dimension to proceedings, and it's quite amusing to see how these guys and gals react to Murderbot's 'humanity'.
The situation between Gurathin and Murderbot is still at breaking point though and it'll be interesting to see exactly who this saboteur is within the group.
For the time being though, Murderbot continues to deliver the goods. Roll on next week!

Murderbot – Season 1 Episode 4 Recap & Review
Escape Velocity Protocol Episode 4 of Murderbot begins with us back at Corporation Rim at the Threshold Pass in the Fabrication Center. This is where the SecUnits are made, with humans pushed way beyond their capabilities. Of course, anybody who's worked to the bone and not their sharpest are prone to make mistakes, and every part of this process is littered with issues or problems. It's a nice way of showing off the entire production process, throwing shade at factories that make products for thousands and pay their workers pittances. Nice work, Apple! We're then blasted back to the present where MurderBot is dragged up the hallway by its assailant. Dumped on a table, MurderBot bides its time before suddenly singing the Sanctuary Moon theme. It fights off the attacker after, but unfortunately not before it gets the Combat Override Module locked in. Things look hopeless, until Dr Mensah arrives with a mining drill and manages to take out the attacker. As they stumble off the ship, MurderBot is in and out of consciousness, seeing himself on the Sanctuary Moon set and stumbling through the hallways too. Back at the ship, the others are not happy when they find out Pin-wee was ordered back onto the chopper by Mensah. Ratthi grabs a gun and heads out, soon to be joined by the others, as they prepare to fight back. Ratthi hits himself in the head and isn't much help, while Pin-wee manages to drop the ship right on the robot attacker, eventually squashing it. Unfortunately, the damage has been done. The Combat Override Module looks set to switch on and set its sights on them all. Murderbot decides to sacrifice itself though, turning the gun on itself and firing. The Episode Review So Murderbot returns this week with an action-packed episode, one that dives into the morals of this bot and how strangely human it actually is. We still don't know who or what this attacker is and why it's so interested in overriding Murderbot's programming, but I'm sure we'll find out later in the series. The episode works well to add in some drama and comedy in equal measure, interwoven around the story that zips by at a frantic pace. The storyline is nicely structured as a result, and the ending certainly leaves everything wide open for the next episode.
