What this episode covers
WALL-E is a Preserving Two: a robot alone on a dead Earth who salvages beautiful things, attaches himself to EVE, and follows her across the galaxy. Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe, and TJ Ingrassia read the film as a study in striving to feel connected — why beauty matters to Twos, why the helping is in service of the connection rather than the other way round, and why Mario takes issue with the "giving to get" shorthand. Along the way: the pathetic fallacy, the film's accidental prophecy about screens, and how to tell a Preserving Two from a Preserving Six.
