One of the best things about the Apple TV+ adaptation of Murderbot is the various ways that the series is expanding the original Martha Wells books. This is happening not just on a character level, but also in terms of expanding the timeline. Not only have we glimpsed flashbacks to the creation of SecUnit, but now, in Episode 7 of Murderbot, “Complementary Species,” one flashback changes the entire nature of the PreservationAux team, and adds a slight departure from the source material that enriches one of the most interesting characters.
Spoilers ahead.
