MURDERBOT Recap: (S01E06) Command Feed
Murderbot Season 1 Episode 6, 'Command Feed,' is wall-to-wall narrative action. Not a minute is wasted. The outing also deftly balances that story movement with character development, particularly for Mensah. I love her burgeoning bond with SecUnit and how that takes shape this week. Anna Konkle also proves her versatility, doing quite the heel turn as Leebeebee's true motivations come to the fore. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous Murderbot episode, 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite' Murderbot, 'Command Feed' We open with a scene from episode 356 of The Rise & Fall of Sanctuary Moon , featuring Flight Captain Hossein (John Cho) and Navigation Unit (DeWanda Wise). They're stranded on a planet. SecUnit (Alexander Skarsgård) tells us this is a crucial turning point in their romance. Hossein tells Navigation Unit a joke, causing her to laugh awkwardly. It's a love story for the (space) ages. In real life, SecUnit and Mensah (Noma Dumezweni) narrowly evaded death by explosion after a mysterious someone took out the emergency beacon. Unfortunately, the hopper is out of commission. Sure, it's structurally sound, but it can't fly at the moment. Mensah remarks that SecUnit has something protruding from its abdomen — a piece of the printer. Eh, it's fine. Make Room for TV Mensah asks if our titular bot has copies of the repair manual in its system. Murderbot admits it cleared said copies to make room for Season 19 of Sanctuary Moon . Mensah is incredulous. How could it shirk its responsibilities in favor of binge-watching a crappy show? Hey, Sanctuary Moon is quality entertainment. Mensah decides to fix the hopper herself. SecUnit removes the printer fragment from its abdomen; unfortunately, it starts to leak lubricant. Uh-oh. RELATED: Alexander Skarsgård Goes Rogue in Murderbot Trailer Meanwhile, back at the PresAux habitat, everyone scrambles to pack their belongings while Gurathin (David Dastmalchian) tries to ping Mensah. Ratthi (Akshay Khanna) asks Pin-Lee (Sabrina Wu) and Arada (Tattiawna Jones) if they need assistance, but our fave couple assures him they're fine. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 6, 'Command Feed.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Leebeebee (Konkle) thanks Bharadwaj (Tamara Podemski) for allowing her to help after Gurathin rejected her. They chat about Bharadwaj's scar from the two-headed monster that attacked her. It's clearly still a traumatic memory for her. Leebeebee kisses her hand, where the scar is. Leebeebee wonders if that was too weird, but Bharadwaj reassures her that it was a sweet gesture. Just Breathe After this, Bharadwaj asks Gurathin for an update. So far, it's all radio silence. Leebeebee believes Mensah is fine — she has that cute SecUnit with her. The conversation pivots to ownership of sentient constructs and how the Corporation Rim believes they don't have rights. However, Bharadwaj thinks consent and autonomy are important. And she's right. RELATED: David Dastmalchian Joins Apple TV+ Murderbot Adaptation Then, SecUnit realizes the wires are the issue. Mensah starts having a panic attack, which she mistakes for a heart attack. SecUnit is used to protecting clients physically, so this is the first time it has observed what's transpiring internally. It reassures her that she's not having a heart attack. It pulls up an episode of Sanctuary Moon that alleviates anxiety. Mensah sits beside it and notices it quoting the episode verbatim. Mensah finds her heart rate slowing and her breathing more regulated. She smiles at SecUnit and seems to understand why it loves this show so much. This is a sweet scene. Backstory Next, SecUnit rises to its feet as it inexplicably spouts gibberish. Suddenly, it collapses. It has lost too much lubricant from the damage inflicted by the printer fragment. RELATED: New TV Shows This Week (June 8 – 14) Later, Gurathin asks Leebeebee why she joined the DeltFall survey team. She explains that DeltFall purchased her indenture from her previous employer, SysCommSols. She had four years left, but participating in this survey is knocking off time. So, she could be finished in two and a half years. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 6, 'Command Feed.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Then, Leebeebee plans to buy a license for childbirth with her earnings. Bharadwaj is confused. In the Preservation Alliance, you don't need a license to have children. There, the community comes together to help fund childcare, education, medical care, etc. The way it should be. Heel Turn The chat pivots to the gaps in the maps. DeltFall had the same issue. When the team would approach the areas omitted from the maps, the two-headed creatures tried to eat them. Then, when the team returned to the habitat, the rogue SecUnits carried out a massacre. RELATED: On Location: The Lighterman in Apple TV+'s Slow Horses Gurathin and Bharadwaj comfort Leebeebee. Well, until she produces a gun and trains it on them. Leebeebee demands that the pair give her access to their HubSystem. Meanwhile, SecUnit wakes up on the floor of the hopper. Mensah improvised — she hooked SecUnit up to the hopper, utilizing the hopper's lubricant to revive it. She figured both shared a similar lubricant. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 6, 'Command Feed.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ This gives SecUnit an idea. They could use fiber from its spine to repair the hopper. After all, human tissue is used to fuel a lot of things. It instructs Mensah to make the incision in its back, crack open its spinal cord and remove the fiber strand from there. Murderbot reassures Mensah that it turned off its pain sensors, so it won't feel a thing. Procedures and Massages Mensah understandably panics as she conducts this procedure, but she gets it done like the badass she is. At the same time, Ratthi walks in on Pin-Lee giving Arada a shoulder massage. He offers to massage Pin-Lee's shoulders. We've got a massage train here, folks. Ratthi asks Arada and Pin-Lee how they feel about SecUnit being rogue. Arada is fine with it. However, Pin-Lee is in panic mode. RELATED: On Location: The Phoenicia Diner on Apple TV+'s Severance Then, Bharadwaj calls the trio downstairs, where they discover Leebeebee is holding her and Gurathin hostage. Thankfully, SecUnit uses its fiber strand to power up the hopper, so our dynamic duo is on the way home to save the day. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 6, 'Command Feed.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Meanwhile, Leebeebee explains that Gurathin will grant her access to HubSystem, including all the maps. Gurathin claims he can't. Leebeebee shoots him in the knee. Bharadwaj instinctively moves to help him, but Leebeebee reveals that if anyone moves a muscle, she'll kill someone. Bharadwaj starts negotiating. She declares she can help Leebeebee get sanctuary on Preservation Alliance. Heads Will Explode Leebeebee asks Bharadwaj if the latter can get her millions of credits. Gurathin logs into HubSystem. Arada reminds Leebeebee that they saved her life. However, Leebeebee was never in danger. She didn't work for DeltFall. She warns that the group will meet her employer soon. Oh, and more SecUnits (probably rogue) are on the way. RELATED: Apple TV+'s Neuromancer Series Uploads 3 New Cast Members Leebeebee urges the crew to give her what she wants. They could walk away (mostly) unscathed. Then, Leebeebee admits the childbirth thing was a lie before also confessing to orchestrating the emergency beacon explosion. She states that Mensah and SecUnit won't come to the rescue because they're dead. Thankfully, the gang has little time to mourn before Murderbot barges into the habitat, wrist raised. Leebeebee moves behind Gurathin and puts her arm around his neck. She presses the gun against Gurathin's temple. Before she can finish her threat, though, SecUnit explodes her head. Her body hits the floor with a thud. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 6, 'Command Feed.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Feelings Naturally, the group all have different reactions to Murderbot killing Leebeebee. Ratthi vomits. Pin-Lee bursts into uninhibited laughter. Bharadwaj is in shock. SecUnit insists they all get in the hopper before Leebeebee's employer arrives. Mensah agrees with it. RELATED: Read our Murderbot recaps However, before they depart, Murderbot needs to repair itself. We see more footage from Sanctuary Moon as our bot explains that feelings are, well, strange. The humans undoubtedly thought that it was close to becoming like them. Outside, Arada comforts Bharadwaj after the latter bursts into tears. Can they trust SecUnit after this? Do they see it as a human-killing machine? As for Murderbot, it might have enjoyed exploding Leebeebee's head a little too much. Murderbot drops new episodes every Friday on Apple TV+.

MURDERBOT Recap: (S01E05) Rogue War Tracker Infinite
Murderbot Season 1 Episode 5, 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite,' sees our SecUnit's secret come to the fore. It's intriguing to see how the PresAux group reacts to the news of its SecUnit always being in rogue mode. The outing also focuses on the state of Artificial Intelligence and how much we can rely on it. Is it really good? Can it be ethical? It's a relevant topic. 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite' is a delightful blend of biting humor and action that maintains a steady clip until that cliffhanger ending. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous Murderbot episode, 'Escape Velocity Protocol' Murderbot, 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite' We open with the PresAux crew talking while Murderbot (Alexander Skarsgård) looks zonked out. We learn they must remove the wires from the override device implanted by the Black SecUnit, which are still protruding from our titular bot. Then, we rewind to the final minutes of episode four, in which SecUnit shoots itself before the override to its combat module, courtesy of the Black SecUnit, takes effect. Naturally, Mensah (Noma Dumezweni), Pin-Lee (Sabrina Wu), Ratthi (Akshay Khanna) and Arada (Tattiawna Jones) go into panic mode. They decide to take SecUnit back to the PresAux habitat for Gurathin to examine. Mensah asks Arada to keep an eye out for any other hostiles. One woman, Leebeebee (Anna Konkle), calls out to the group from afar. Her reflexes kicking in, Arada fires at her. Thankfully, she stops before she truly harms Leebeebee. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 5, 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+. Leebeebee We fast forward to the PresAux habitat, wherein Murderbot tells us that, once it wakes up, it'll instantly kill the humans because of the tendrils left from the combat module override. Bharadwaj (Tamara Podemski) offers to extract said tendrils. RELATED: Alexander Skarsgård Goes Rogue in Murderbot Trailer Then, we're back on the hopper, with Ratthi at the helm. We learn Leebeebee is the only survivor of the DeltFall massacre. Arada asks her questions to ensure she doesn't go into shock. Leebeebee tells Arada that she's from Industrial Junction 151523. Corporation Rim. Mensah asks Leebeebee if she has any idea as to whose SecUnit attacked DeltFall. Leebeebee finds it intriguing that Murderbot shot itself to save the group. She remarks that it's quite handsome for a sentient construct. Then, Leebeebee goes on a tangent about its potential genitalia and how it would use its peepee. Leebeebee and the peepee. Sorry, I'm a 13-year-old boy. Also, this monologue made me snort, and it feels like something Konkle's Pen15 character would say as an adult. All Amateurs Next, we zero in on Ratthi and Pin-Lee. Ratthi asks about having children. Have Pin-Lee and Arada broached the subject? There's something about a massacre and a near-death experience that makes one think about the future. Pin-Lee admits they haven't thought about kids. RELATED: David Dastmalchian Joins Apple TV+ Murderbot Adaptation Back in the present, Bharadwaj removes the wires from the override device. Huzzah! Leebeebee is naturally triggered by seeing SecUnit. She learns our group hails from the Preservation Alliance and remarks that her DeltFall bosses referred to them as amateurs. Murderbot dryly states that only amateurs would risk their lives to save a rogue SecUnit. It sees more footage of it attacking and killing humans in its past. How ominous. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 5, 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+. After Bharadwaj finishes pulling out the wires, she declares that it's time to reboot SecUnit's system. She asks Gurathin (David Dastmalchian) to plug into its system to check for any bad codes. Uh-oh. Unfortunately for Murderbot, Gurathin's search yields results — he learns that our bot has hacked its governor module and gone rogue. Gone Rogue Later, Murderbot wakes up to all our PresAux crew's smiling faces. It's grateful that it's out of med bay and it didn't kill all its human clients. Gurathin informs the group that SecUnit is immobilized from the neck down thanks to HubSystem. RELATED: New TV Shows This Week (June 1 – 7) Then, Gurathin informs the group about Murderbot's rogue state and that it hacked its governor module prior to working for the PresAux crew. Double uh-oh. Leebeebee starts panicking. She insists SecUnit is undoubtedly plotting its next move. Murderbot admits it was … sort of. Leebeebee leaves. Bharadwaj defends SecUnit, claiming that, despite hacking its governor module, it's been acting within the group's best interests. She believes they should trust it. Gurathin insists they have every reason to be cautious. After all, they've been sabotaged since they first set foot on this planet. The missing hazard reports. The gaps in the map. He places the blame squarely on our bot. And what about the DeltFall massacre? It could be connected somehow. Seccy Is One of Them Ratthi and Arada counter Gurathin, defending SecUnit. It told them to kill it after the Black SecUnit overrode its combat module. Why would it do that if it wanted to hurt them? Seccy is good! (I hope this nickname sticks.) RELATED: On Location: The Lighterman in Apple TV+'s Slow Horses Bharadwaj adds that if the Company wanted to use SecUnit to kill them, they'd be dead by now. Murderbot finally speaks up, contributing its two cents. It reveals that the Company would poison their supplies using the recycling system. However, the Company has a financial interest in keeping the PresAux crew alive. Then, the conversation pivots to how SecUnit spends its time — downloading thousands of hours of TV shows. Gurathin assumes it's using the downloads to send encoded messages to the Company. Ratthi references a deep cut of a Sanctuary Moon episode, which Murderbot instantly comments on. It's watched every episode. Also, Season 19? Any show going past Season 3 these days is a miracle. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 5, 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+. Trigger the Emergency Beacon After this, Murderbot proves it's not truly immobilized as Gurathin planned. It hacked HubSystem to override it. SecUnit begins choking Gurathin, pinning him to the wall. The others urge SecUnit to let him go. Murderbot tells Gurathin it doesn't like him. Once SecUnit releases Gurathin, Mensah insists it remain part of the team. She doesn't want to send it away. She promises not to disclose its rogue state, nor will anyone else in this room. RELATED: On Location: The Phoenicia Diner on Apple TV+'s Severance Mensah makes SecUnit promise it'll protect Gurathin as much as it does the others. SecUnit begrudgingly vows to honor her wish. Gurathin reminds Murderbot that HubSystem has been recording their conversation. Murderbot fires back that it fed HubSystem 'an hour of mundane activity from the logs.' So, take that. Then, SecUnit informs Mensah that HubSystem may have been compromised by an outside agent. Do not trust it. SecUnit also advises that they trigger the emergency beacon. Mensah agrees. Later, SecUnit finds Leebeebee staring at it, just like actors do in its favorite shows. Leebeebee reveals that she doesn't know if DeltFall launched their own beacon. She worked in maintenance and cleaning as part of her seven-year indenture to InterTrav Mining Solutions. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 5, 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+. Sometimes, You Gotta Do It Manually Gurathin remarks that he can't reach the emergency beacon. Neither can Murderbot. That can't be good. Leebeebee asks how the beacon works and how long it'll take the Company to get here. Ratthi reveals that it'll take them five days. Leebeebee wonders what'll happen if whoever orchestrated the DeltFall massacre finds out they're here. RELATED: Apple TV+'s Neuromancer Series Uploads 3 New Cast Members Murderbot volunteers to take the hopper to the emergency beacon to activate it manually. Mensah offers to accompany it since she's the best pilot. Later, Leebeebee apologizes to Murderbot for claiming it would kill them all. She didn't realize it was so nice. Then, she awkwardly kisses its chin for good luck. Hilarious. 'Melt me down now,' Murderbot thinks to itself. Meanwhile, Gurathin vows to analyze the data from the combat module override, reboot HubSystem and try to figure out why all this is happening. Mensah grabs Gurathin's hands and reveals she's glad he's here. Gurathin expresses the same sentiment. Then, SecUnit interrupts to tell Mensah that it's time to go. I'm still curious about the Mensah/Gurathin relationship. MURDERBOT Season 1 Episode 5, 'Rogue War Tracker Infinite.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+. An Enemy in Disguise Later, Leebeebee asks Gurathin if she can assist him. 'I highly doubt it,' he replies. Ouch. Elsewhere, in the hopper, Mensah tells Murderbot all about her kids. Humans love to do that unprompted, don't they? RELATED: Read our Murderbot recaps The conversation pivots to how DeltFall fell prey to rogue SecUnits. Perhaps the enemy pretended to be the PresAux crew, making DeltFall believe they're lending a helping hand to another team. SecUnit observes that Mensah would've let an impostor like that in, no questions asked. It's the human way. Murderbot thinks to itself that it's strange to have an exchange like this without receiving orders. Then, our duo sees the emergency beacon ahead. Mensah tries to launch it with a burst communication. When the launch fails, Murderbot shares that they'll have to reboot it by hand. It encourages Mensah to land close by so it can plug in and start the sequence. They'll have four minutes to clear the area prior to launch. Fly Through the Fire Mensah tries to ask Murderbot about it choking Gurathin earlier. What was that about? Has it ever hurt a client before? Suddenly, SecUnit orders them to turn around. It gets an alert about a significant threat. The emergency beacon explodes in a fiery blaze. It engulfs the hopper as it nosedives toward the ground.
