Spoiler Warning: Solar Opposites Season 2

Solar Opposites announced on their Twitter that the show would be returning for another season starting July 13, 2022, and we’re all hoping for more sci-fi weirdness along with it. Every passing season before this has been so full of surprises it would be impossible to speculate what we could see in season 3. Or maybe everything that we speculate could happen. Perhaps Korvo and Terry have built a speculation machine designed to harvest our ideas and turn them into show material. The only thing we can be certain of is that anything is possible.

Solar Opposites has been Justin Roiland’s baby in which he seems able to do all the things that Dan Harmon won’t let him do in Rick and Morty. In Solar Opposites, Roiland’s imagination runs unchecked in what seems like a complete contempt for story structure or even logical reasoning.

In an episode in season two, Jesse and Yumyulack back themselves into a corner where they resolve their narrative but refuse to learn a lesson. When the episode finishes the lesson, they do, in fact, discover that they can cheat their way around learning a lesson. Somehow season 3 will have to cheat its way around breaking the fourth wall even harder because if there are any expectations left to subvert, we’re not sure what they are.

The Solar Opposites & Revenge

From where we left off, all of our favorite Shlorpians had turned into trees and started sprouting strange fruit for the pupa. While we were told that everyone would die and the pupa would consume the fruit from their bodies, it seems that was a more literal statement than figurative. We were also told that the pupa would begin to terraform Earth into a Shlorpian paradise after this stage, killing all humans. But thankfully, after resurrecting as trees, Korvo told everyone that there were still tons of stages to go before the terraforming would begin. So thankfully, the human race is safe for another day. And it seems our aliens are right back where they started.

While the series is still at square one, Korvo, Terry, Yumyulack, and Jesse might not be. Season two, though it hilariously started when they had broken their spaceship after finally fixing it again, showed some honest character development. So even at this point, when we would be happy to see everyone living on Earth for no reason and just following their crazy adventures, it’s nice to see Jesse become more independent and Yumyulack become grander in his schemes only eventually fail.

But there were a few things from season two that we could see callbacks to in season 3. We found out that the red goobler is still at large. While it had moved on from its horrible quest for revenge in season 1, Terry and Korvo ruined its new life when they accidentally turned its wife into a rat using the incorrect sci-fi ray. Now the red goobler is somewhere in the world with the perfect motive to come back and destroy all the alien family’s best-laid plans.

Another unknown factor lying in wait out is the other family of aliens living underneath London. When we met them in episode one, Korvo left his home to join the ultra-traditional elitist Shlorpians that had crashed on Earth before the Solar Opposites did. While they were expecting the plane to be terraformed by now, some roadblocks were clearly in that plan.

When the Solar Opposites gave them Jesse’s super high-maintenance dog in place of a pupa, it fooled the upper-class alien family. But for how long? Season 3 could lead to these other Shlorpians learning they’ve been duped and coming for their self-centered revenge.

More Tiny Drama From the Wall

Another thing we hope to see in season 3 is more of everyone’s favorite tiny drama -- the Wall. The stories that have occurred in this little microcosm of humanity develop quickly and have serious consequences, at least inside that small world. The high-stakes yet somehow still completely meaningless events in the Wall are in stark contrast to everything outside it. It’s as if it represents an entirely opposite world to the main storyline of Solar Opposites, in which every action has consequences.

Terry and Korvo flit about their world, going on crazy adventures but never quite going through serious changes, whereas little things have big effects in the Wall.

This season we entered a world in which Tim ruled the people of the Wall, creating a mythos for himself after eliminating the previous ruler: The Duke. But Tim’s rule had the same morality -- eliminating the people’s free will in favor of safety.

In season 2, we followed a new player in the Wall that took the weight of Tim’s lying off his shoulders, and we discovered what happened to The Duke and Tim’s partner Cherie. Now, Cherie has returned to the wall with her child, discovering that she is being worshiped as a martyr, and positioned herself next to the only other person who knows there is a way out of the wall. So season 3 should be an explosive one for the Wall-dwellers.
