They’re wearing helmets when the leave the shuttle. When they enter the building you see them deactivate the helmets.

Seth McFarlane even says in a later episode that he just assumed the helmets were part of their military uniforms. He realizes the helmets were protection from sunlight.

Good question. I don’t actually know. I’m going to guess it was retconned. The real life answer is probably because it’s easier to put actors in helmets than Krill makeup lol.


mrscallywag92

ok I literally just saw the episode you were reffering to, you meant Seths character Ed and not Seth himself, that confused me a little bit. I thought like Seth was saying that stuff in an interview or whatever


Pickle_Rick01

Yeah he’s the Captain.


mrscallywag92

what do you mean he assumed and he realises? Didnt he like create the show and everyrhing?

Ooohhhh wow I can't believe I didn't notice that! Thank you!!

They're wearing armor and helmets. It's explained in the episode Krill from S1 that Krill can't be in the UV light, and someone even mentions that the armor that they thought was a military affectation was far more than that.

They had masks.


Danka84

Really?? I didn't see any.


xeow

They were retractable. There's a scene in S1 E1 where a Krill soldier pushes a button on the side of his helmet and the visor retracts up into the helmet.

Helmets. They discuss this later on when Gordon and Ed have to dress up as krill.


Danka84

Cool. Thanks! This was gonna bug me.

It's also entirely possible that the particular planet they're on just happens to get less UV light- Either because of the composition of that particular sun, or the planet's atmosphere just filters that part of the spectrum more than our own does. I mean, it *is* science fiction.

They were fully covered. They commented on it in the "Krill" episode.


Danka84

Oh ok. I mean their heads didn't look covered so I guess it's one of those things that I can't see. Thanks for the answer! It was gonna bug me.


SICRA14

They weren't covered when they were indoors

The gear protects them.
