What is a pet worth to someone that just wants revenge?
We revisit the universe of the previous LDR episode, Swarm, where a half-mechanical woman named Spider Rose plots her revenge against the man who murdered her partner. She tries to trade with the Investors for weapons, but they offer her an alien lifeform as a pet instead. Initially reluctant, Spider Rose warms up to the creature as it keeps her company and starts to heal her grief. Her base is then attacked by the same man she was seeking to destroy and though she manages to deal the final blow, she calculates she doesn’t have enough food to last until the Investors return. She sacrifices herself so that her new pet can survive and when the Investors come to collect, they find only the cocoon of the creature being reborn.

With its diversity of thought-provoking themes and artwork styles, Netflix’s animated adult anthology series LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS is just begging for detailed discussion, so the Love, Death and Robots Plus podcast was started to do exactly that! Join us as we dig in each week to discover what we liked as well as what we didn’t like about a given LD+R episode. We’ll focus on the narrative and story elements, as well as the art styles, the studios that produced them, and the original short stories from which the episodes were born. There’s something for everyone in Love, Death & Robots and we hope our podcast discussions will be the same!
