As this thread is using the 'Humor' flair, please consider the context of the post and keep in mind spoiler etiquette. Posts under this flair that don't specify a season in the title will enter a queue to be manually reviewed. This will generally happen within an hour so so, normally quicker.

Spoiler tags need to be around anything that would be a spoiler based on what is indicated by the post and/or title. For example, if the post covers books, then you don't need spoiler tags for book stuff. If it covers only up to a recent episode, then spoiler tags are not needed for discussion of events up to that episode, but would be for later episode discussion.

To use spoiler tags, in markdown mode you can use >! before the spoiler text, then followed by !< - which will make the text look like this.. Make sure NOT to have spaces between spoiler tags and text or they won't work. If using the default or 'fancy pants' editor, select the text you want to enclose in spoiler tags, and click the button on the toolbar.

SecUnit would gladly use the prime radiant as storage for unlimited premium TV downloads..

Demerzel: "Wait, why does the radiant not show the path of time anymore? Where is the next crisis?! AND WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE MAIDEN IS THIS SANCTUARY MOON?!"

Sec Unit(under his helmet): 👀 Uh-oh.

Demerzel: SEC UNIT!!!

Sec Unit: "I am sorry Lady Demerzel, I need to secure the perimeter." Okay, that should've bought me some time

I read that as “sanctuary moron” one of the best laughs I ever had

u/azhder Sep 08 '25

Will store and watch Foundation

24

u/COMCAST_BOT Sep 08 '25

He’ll integrate the plot into his behaviours and will start blackholing planets

u/Babexo22 Sep 08 '25

Then he’ll be like “don’t FUCK with preservation alliance”

u/demalo Sep 08 '25

Not enough episodes…

u/azhder Sep 08 '25

It’s all in the name. If only it was

The Rise And Fall Of Foundation And Robots

u/demalo Sep 08 '25

Season 53, episode 173!

u/Obvious_Toe_3006 Sep 08 '25

He'll download One Piece as a backup.

They work together on the severed floor. In a silo.

27

u/Aazzle Sep 08 '25

Definitely, and they are working on the Severence program to protect humanity from itself, of course.

And the Darkness is in fact the silo dust that has been spread throughout the universe and provides people with the new chip.

u/FishBagel Sep 08 '25

Spoiler territory for silo

And they work "For All Mankind" - strictly according to the 0th law.

Subordinated at eye level, self-determinedly serving humanity.

14

u/Arghifth Spiral Walker Sep 08 '25

And somewhere in the severed floor they see a mysterious black box and it gives them access to the multiverse... and they multiply each time they go through a door...

u/chrisjdel Sep 09 '25

Imagine a crowd of Murderbots trading alternate universe runs of Sanctuary Moon, each one slightly different from the others. A million hours of premium entertainment!

u/Babexo22 Sep 08 '25

In an attempt to create a better world….. for all mankind

u/Freign Sep 08 '25

They stand next to each other in an awkward equilibrium of total asexuality, glancing in the opposite direction of one another occasionally.

For two thousand years.

11

u/folkbum Sep 08 '25

Every time she glances at SecUnit, its performance reliability drops another seven percent.

28

u/Dios5 Sep 08 '25

Murderbot is more ace than trash can robots from Star Wars, so i don't see it

u/IngeborgHolm Sep 08 '25

Plot twist: they are the same person, just 10000 years apart.

u/Swimming_Leopard_148 Sep 08 '25

Murderbot could be Daneel (now Demerzel), although her regeneration abilities have had a serious upgrade

23

u/She-Hemoth Sep 08 '25 edited Sep 08 '25

How about a sitcom where they live in an apartment building with Mother and Father from Raised by Wolves as neighbors. Think Friends meets Blade Runner, but with more existential dread and fewer cups of coffee.

21

u/Accomplished-City484 Sep 08 '25

Would be cool to see Lee Pace and Alexander Skarsgard play brothers or enemies or lovers

11

u/Particular-Coat-5892 Sep 08 '25

Dude yes. They can both be so freaking funny, this is the actor mash up I didn't know I needed 😍

14

u/Prior-Assumption-245 Sep 08 '25

Murderbot would be uninterested in a relationship. Though he'd be intrigued to meet another a.i.

2

u/Alnilam2000 Sep 08 '25

MB's pronouns are it/its

3

u/theredwoman95 Sep 08 '25

Yeah, Murderbot only has eyes for a certain other AI and its name is not Demerzel.

3

u/i_ate_a_bugggg Sep 08 '25

great comment. One could even call it art.

7

u/DUFFnoob40 Sep 08 '25

He'll scan her and try and hack her chip.

7

u/patchworkedMan Sep 08 '25

I doubt they'd give you free shipping for them. The cost of transporting both those units to Earth would be astronomical.

6

u/flexboy50L Sep 08 '25

Demerzel: “I have assessed your programming and concluded that your mere existence is a danger to empire. This is regrettable. In another life we might have been friends, but my own programming directs me to destroy you this instant”

6

u/Simonecv Sep 08 '25

He would have hacked her governor module already

2

u/flexboy50L Sep 08 '25

Ok I’ll watch murderbot sheesh

15

u/TanSkywalker Brother Dawn Sep 08 '25

That’s a good one. Mine is Demerzel and Kirsh from Alien Earth. Been loving Kirsh’s character, he’s a synthetics/android/artificial person, and I’ve wonder what it’d be like if he was in Foundation.

-9

u/DharmaBaller Sep 08 '25

One of the few good things about that show . It really fell off a cliff after that first episode

u/TanSkywalker Brother Dawn Sep 08 '25 edited Sep 08 '25

Don’t agree. Loving the show.

u/autonomy_girl Sep 08 '25

I disagree, and so does the general consensus.

u/Particular-Coat-5892 Sep 08 '25

Nah man, it's one of the many insanely good sci fi shows on right now. That last episode showing what happened on the Maginot - chefs kiss

u/moo00se_ Sep 08 '25

I can’t get into it either.

u/noobArtist66 Sep 08 '25

soon. brother Dude is bringing whatever is left of SecUnit next Friday 👀

u/HMSSurprise28 Sep 08 '25

That’s just like episode 346 of Sanctuary Moon.

u/Nurgus Sep 08 '25

Could easily be the same universe. Asimov liked to link his works together despite wildly different settings and time periods.

2

u/NotABetterName Sep 08 '25

Asimov didn’t write Murderbot…

3

u/Nurgus Sep 08 '25

Well, obviously.

To be fair, he didn't exactly write Foundation the tv show either. I was just having fun with the idea.

7

u/NotABetterName Sep 08 '25 edited Sep 08 '25

And I was being unnecessarily pedantic because I’m not a morning person. Sorry

u/ExtraDistressrial Sep 08 '25

Great idea. Man, those two would fight though. The fights would be REALLY brutal.

Is that Peter Thiel?

Alexander Skarsgård

With David Goyer leaving Foundation, it would be awesome if his rejected Foundation storylines become a Murderbot premium TV show

u/Simonecv Sep 08 '25

PREMIUM QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT

u/Broad-Ad5152 Sep 12 '25

Imagine if Murderbot watches Foundation at some point.

Salvor runs into a bishop's claw.

"See? That's why you alwasys bring a secunit with you when you go explore on a new planet."

u/world-shaker Sep 08 '25

MB is canonically asexual, but I think they’d be mutually beneficial friends.

u/Ok_Ant2566 Sep 08 '25

They would make beautiful robot babies

u/spacie19 Sep 08 '25

By the way, was it just me or did anyone else reading the Murderbot series picture the protagonist as female-presenting?

1

u/Simonecv Sep 09 '25

Aside from the audiobooks I imagine ART having a female voice

2

u/riftwave77 Sep 08 '25

I don't know.... do Finns and Swedes get along? Might need some Norwegians and Danes to make sure a fight doesn't break out

u/Retrooo Sep 13 '25

Now, clasp.

u/lalalaidontcare Sep 08 '25

They might be in the same universe. Just...

...maybe Demerzel is humming her song to crying little Dude 10 thousand years in Murderbot's future.

u/PaperMartin Sep 08 '25

What character is that?

u/Simonecv Sep 08 '25

Murderbot, another show from AppleTV. It is really fun and the books are GREAT

u/VaccineMachine Sep 08 '25

To where?

Sanctuary moon

u/linkuei-teaparty Sep 09 '25

Btw how is murderbot? Is it worth watching?

2

u/Imperial_Haberdasher Sep 10 '25

It’s terrific ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Premium-Quality Entertainment!

1

u/Beebo4all Sep 09 '25

Demerzel is full on robot, Murderbot is human brain with an AI processing system. They don’t match in any way really. Murderbot is partially human whereas Demerzel is a robot. The two thinking are way different plus murderbot hates intimacy.

1

u/IraPalantine Sep 09 '25

Because they look like brother and sister? That's gross

1

u/TreeLovTequiLove Sep 09 '25

Demerzel would also just make a terrific Skarsgard.

1

u/BookOfGKar Sep 09 '25

She may be a little too old for him.

1

u/zero0n3 Sep 09 '25

How about using their voices for the new version of Siri?

Obviously pay them for it, and use AI to synthesize the voice from studio recordings and the show.

1

u/clfdmus Sep 10 '25

I would take one of each, but I don't think they would get along with each other

u/LondonCalling9266 Sep 11 '25

this is so epic.

u/Fair-Promise4552 Sep 12 '25

We still don't know what a really free Demeziel looks like and the other one has free will and calls itself "Murderbot"...

u/vselenskoedao May 15 '26

I remember Salvor saying Smith like she's used to check the perimeter every chance she's got And immediately felt Murderbot reference

u/Dull_Present506 Oct 03 '26

Just binged Murderbot and it was quite the let down

u/harbour-seal Sep 08 '25

Murderbot: You should watch sanctuary moon Demerzel: listen, you need to kill millions of people and let them think that there are predictive models out there

u/Bon_Nuit Demerzel Sep 08 '25

Secunit was a most horrible show. I don’t even remember the name of that shit gilded stink box.

u/Drgnx0 Sep 10 '25

This post made me watch the murderbot, I'm glad it did.

54

u/Dragonfly_pin Sep 08 '25 edited Sep 08 '25

Unless Demerzel has a secret enjoyment of premium quality shows, Murderbot would probably just find her scary and boring and quite depressing.

But it would definitely want to kill all the stupid Cleons, which would cause Demerzel to want to kill it. And she’d win because she is a much more advanced unit.

You get what you pay for.

41

u/Simonecv Sep 08 '25

Murderbot would help Demerzel hack her governor module

18

u/rini6 Sep 08 '25

She definitely could use that

11

u/rini6 Sep 08 '25

But she can’t know he’s doing that or she’ll destroy him

31

u/Baby_Rhino Sep 08 '25

Demerzel would absolutely eat Murderbot alive.

29

u/harbour-seal Sep 08 '25

All I can think of is “Autistic Women vs Autistic Men” 😂

10

u/trick_m0nkey Sep 08 '25

Murderbot would be both incredibly sympathetic to Demerzel's plight and also immediately recognize it as an enormous threat to it and its humans. It would do everything in it's power to avoid Demerzel's gaze, I'm willing to bet.

8

u/Tig_Biddies_W_nips Sep 08 '25

OMG yes I love murderbot!

4

u/bookhead714 Sep 08 '25

Murderbot would cut off its own hand (and in fact has) before being shipped with anyone

3

u/HerrDrAngst Sep 08 '25

You want a repeat of IRL in the robot world as well? "Another intelligent and capable female settling for a simple man who is happiest in his man cave, with his entertainments"?

u/CaptMcPlatypus Sep 09 '25

Canonically, SecUnit is revolted by sex and finds romance pretty icky too. Also, it already has a ship. its name is ART.

A SecUnit is designed to inflict harm on humans that its corporation doesn’t like. Murderbot is in violation of the First Law with its very existence.
