My wild Red Valley take is I actually think Bryony liked Gordon. I actually think Gordon is the only person at Red Valley she liked. Up until the moment she got fired because of him of course.
Like obviously she needed him to get information on Aubrey. But she could've interrogated and then got rid of him the moment Warren was in the pod. And she didn't!
She didn't like Clive, she wasn't happy with Pam and Grace and the only reason Warren was involved was her desperation. Her boss, her assistants and even her test subject were all not her choice. But you know who was her choice? Gordon Porlock.
She thinks they're similar and she wants Gordon to see and accept it too. She thinks he is competent which is a lot coming from Bryony. Especially since Gordon himself is not qualified for any of this. He's not qualified to address a scalpel wound, he's not qualified to manage the mental state of The Most Traumatized Person Ever and he's not qualified to look after a facility full of complicated and expensive equipment. And yet she keeps him. Of course, she is condescending and derogatory to him but I think it's just the way she is to people.
I don't think they could've been friends in another universe. And I don't think she cared. But I do think she liked him. Maybe she liked him as one might like an ant. But she liked him nonetheless.

What if we called Clive, Pam and Rebecca the CPR trio...
I'm sleepy and it came to me in a haze. But like. Consider it.
• Bryony being human (pls)
• More bits about Bryony having only one hand
• Gordon's emergence goes wrong BUT in an unexpected way
• Warren doesn't know how to express emotions/is overwhelmed to the point of just standing in the corner with a blank expression
• Gordon says/does something at the end of the episode and we all freak out
• Clive is miserable (and possibly scheming)
• The Bastion. Give me more of these freaks.
• Hester saves the day (as usual)
We've gotta come up with bingo cards before the Red Valley early release.
Some ideas:
Stevie mention
GORD goes rogue
Impassioned speech by Becky
Becky kills someone
Pam kills someone
Robot dogs
Garden handholding
"That must be 3 minutes"
[Audible kissing]
Power Metal
I've been relistening to Red Valley season 4 (like a normal and sane person) and I just realized that the reason Warren came to the cryosuit in EP4 was just so he could find out what he did. He could've asked GORD to tell him about it literally anywhere else. And yet he came to Gordon to learn the one thing about himself he'd been the most terrified of. Because Gordon makes him feel safe. Because Gordon is the only person that didn't know and didn't want to find out unless Warren would be fine with it.
I guess Warren's finally made a decision to look together (I mean in a way??)
The things I feel about this art... It makes me so happy it's insane. It scratches my brain in the best way possible. I'm no longer a sensible human being. This picture is the only thing I have in my head.
Season 3 Episode 4 is coming. Everything’s going just great.
full credit to @eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes for everythign but the art, i am but a henchman
um.
You know what would be amazing? Getting a Clive and Let Die kind of miniseries where the roles are reversed like in wywh3. Because Gordon is going to need to stay in quarantine and perhaps it would take him even longer to stabilize sooo sneaky channel 6 ;')
I need them to talk so desperately.
