Question about Oblivion - Spoilers

So if the "Scavs" were always just humans, why did they always show them running around on all fours in the beginning like animals?
I actually found the movie kinda entertaining, but this was bugging the crap out of me.

I don't remember them running around like that. 
I finally watched this one a few months ago, and I enjoyed it. It was much better than I thought it was gonna be going into it.

I think it was because they are trying not to appear human. The drones are programmed to kill humans.

in the beginning it showed a video of one running on all fours
then when he was looking for one of the drones in the underground building, they were running around on all fours, jumping from table to table like animals
I can't seem to find any video of this
and also
Why didn't Jack tell the others about his little paradise. That was a real dick move.
"hey guys, I have this awesome paradise, but I'm going to keep it a secret while you guys continue to live in caves and shite"

Because it was his?

They said they acted like that and made weird noises and shite to hide from the drones bc they were programmed to kill humans.
Something I didn't get was how the tom cruise clone that remembered his wife died and killed the master alien computer or whatever but then another clone tom cruise goes looking for her (I guess he randomly remembered her too?) and she's like errrmyyygerrhd I lurv you now!! What happens when all the other tom cruises come around? Mass orgy??

they said they dressed up and distorted their voices because of this, but no mention of them running around like animals

I would love to hear how his wife explains to their daughter who that was
"well, it's your daddy...kinda"

Yeah that bothered me too. The hotness of Victoria made up for it though.

I assumed the Tet knew it took about 5 years for the Jack's would start asking too many questions to handle. also a reason why they kept a drone down in the basement. It was the backup plan in case the Jack went rogue.

What bothered me about the movie was the flight recorder box. It explains the end of the flight where the real Jack goes into the spaceship. If it was recording up to the last point, it should be in the cockpit. So how would it end up on the pod that crashed on earth?

Another thing that was odd... They were #49 and #52.. How is that possible when they cloned hundreds of thousands of him and sent them to battle and destroy the planet. I don't feel like the 1st 50 or so guys that were cloned would still be alive after the battle but who knows! Maybe they re numbered?
Lol all these little facts are irrelevant but fun to think about. I actually thought the movie was pretty interesting. Definitely better than this movies clone, After Earth.

easy explanation even though idk if it is true.
Maybe the Flight deck was in radio frequency and the recorder was recording that. Explains why it shut off once the flight deck went inside the Tet.
what bothered me was that the escape pod was able to leave the tractor beam? Was the tet only pulling the flight deck in?
Also the escape pod was orbiting the earth for 60 years...The tet didnt notice it and send drones to destroy it?
3rd. How did this group of people on earth 60 years later know that the escape pod was orbiting the earth and how did they know there was a signal to make it land?

maybe the recording was being made in both the cockpit and the sleep module/ escape pod. what kinda got to me was that the TET let the sleep module just go, why not grab it in your tractor beam as well? the TET didn't seem to be all that smart at times.

yea i just assume the 1000s of Jacks that invaded were just disposed of after the invasion. then the Jacks were numbered later.
Posted on 1/27/14 at 10:05 am to ATLTiger
What also wasnt explained, but there was no reason to, was Why were they going to Titan to begin with?
Posted on 1/27/14 at 10:09 am to Salmon
I really dug this one. Watching it a 2nd time really straightened some things out too.
One thing I had a problem with was how the big bad ship couldn't sense Morgan Freeman coming to see them hidden away...seems like the technology would have been fancy enough to detect that...

The planet had been used up and/or abused beyond fixing, I believe.

on the question of the age of the invasion vs the drone men.
i imagine the Tet had no compunction killing off entire generations of clones if need be. It dismissed Vicca without hestitation knowing she could be replaced with a fresh canvas. Just as easy to kill the tech with her and start over when needed
