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! Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
