The hive clearly shows that it will never assert its own preferences (except in the case of assimilation) over that of someone outside itself. It literally couldn't make the choice between Carol and Koumba in the second episode because making that choice would harm one of them. It also says it would mourn the death of any animal Koumba kills, but would still cook it for him if he requested it.

It's pretty clear the hive cannot deny someone something that is within its capacity to give. That means sex with any body that is part of the hive can never be truly consensual, because the hive does not have the ability to say "no".

I've seen quiet a few people saying they'd likely go the Koumba route if this happened to them, and it's honestly a gross mindset. Aside from the disgusting fact that the hive includes children, it also cannot consent.

Hivemind, knock me out and then when I wake up have every single person around me act exactly like they did before the joining, never mention it and act oblivious if I mention it. This must also include thousands of people online for me to talk to.

I think some things can be easily inferred without them spelling it out, it was like a month or something from initial infection to everyone. Once enough on earth is infected, they fly a flipping supply shit to ISS, simple as.

The question is irrelevant as it's a completely incomparable situation. A single person getting paralyzed and having their choice taken away from them has no equivalent when it's a hivemind of 6 billion people that can surround you in a minute if you ever tried to do something they don't like. It's impossible to make the plurb powerless in questions of consent, so any action they do not oppose either verbally or physically can be assumed to have their consent.

Thats not what the hivemind is though. Unless youre alluding that they arent really a hivemind and are just 7 billion people mind controlled against their will by an alien scarlet witch. Which is a completely different scenario entirely.
>>
>>215847487
I think the point is though that no one consented to joining in the first place, so the bodies you are fucking are stolen even if they appear to be happy once in it, its not really them any more. Bu the previous owner might be being controlled and still in there, and would not have consented had they not beeen taken over. Its like if I telepathically projected into someone elses body and then gave you permission to fuck me in that body. The owner of the body did not consent.

That's one way to consider it, and it's certainly Carol's hope, but as far as we understand what we've seen, there's just as much reason to believe humanity has been reduced to a singular psychic entity, "the plurb", with 6 billion human shaped limbs that it operates at once. If they can never be restored, and if there is no evidence to suggest the individuals still exist as a whole and are just locked in, then treating with the plurb as you would a person is completely reasonable. It's ultimately up to each of the survivor's judgements on how they view it, which has been done alright enough in the show.

Has anybody came up with a plausible theory on why the hive will still supply people with alcohol (although it is socially accepted in some countries, it is undeniably a poison, that harms the body)

also what about all the people who got assimilated and are/where dependent on opiates and what not, does the virus somehow make that null, so they do not experience withdrawal (this is actually a huge question as the implications are tremendous)

They're still physically human so those with disabilities or curable ailments like addictions might be kept in "rehab", idling through the days as they heal while the rest of the hivemind does their work.
Logistics are a messy thing to write about, so they probably won't go this direction, but I do wonder if they'll address the resource shortage issue and show the more monstrous side of the hivemind when Carol discovers how it does triage on hundreds of thousands of its bodies that it doesn't have the capacity to save either through medical intervention or dispensing food and water.
Baby making farms would also be a strange thing to witness.

>>215847755
There was a very short scene I noticed where they were putting out fires and stuff after the conversion happened, and there was a guy being lead to an ambulance with his lower leg missing while someone else was carrying it. I read it as the person had lost their leg in the process, like in a car crash while seizing or something. But he seemed totally okay, not in pain or screaming, he was just hopping to the ambulance. Sort of related to what you're saying, that it seesm once they are joined the individual bodies are not subject as much to physical issues maybe.

It would have been more interesting if the mice became super smart and managed to communicate with the scientists in a way to convince them to be exposed to the virus.

Also does that mean that animals are part of the hive mind too? At least the mice are, and the virus surely isn't specifically catered to humans since it came from space and equally infected mice and humans.

The tests on all the animals they tried were duds, there was no physiological or social change observed on each species they infected. If the virus could form a hivemind out of mice, they wouldn't be smart enough to deceive humans, so the social changes would be observed.

There is no “owner” of that body anymore. How is that so hard to comprehend? They have no ego anymore. It’s like fucking a hair follicle of a giant the size of the moon. They literally don’t care.

>>215849373
That's assuming everything we've heard from the plurb so far is 100% the truth and there's no possible way to re-individualize. It could be lying and everybody on earth is locked in their minds, with their consciousnesses being hijacked to form the gestalt.
For instance, what would happen to an individual plurb body if you completely removed and immunized them from whatever virus or virus-caused mutation that allows their brain to psychically link with everyone else? Would they just die? Would they retain the hivemind personality but without the ability to gain new information from the other bodies? Would they reassert their individuality but with the hazy memories of being connected to the whole, like a months long mushroom trip?

>>215849730
If you learned that you had psychic powers like telekinesis or something, and someone asked you the following day how exactly they work, you would not be able to answer them.
The hivemind doesn't have access to the script, and it's been spending the 2.5 months it's been alive plotting the joining rather than investigating its own biology. Maybe it's naturally incurious and focused solely on becoming whole, or maybe it is sparing some manpower to study itself but its slow going. Either work for the answer that taffler gave.
The plurb not understanding itself and having blind spots like not knowing about the 13th survivor initially is going to be one of the main drivers of new intrigue.

If you want me to "science" ur shit a bit, food for thought for u:
Quantum entanglement is fundamentally incapable of ftl and in itself can't transmit information. (You need to have sent a signal thru another means and compared results, essentially)

So, shit outta luck? Nope. Consider that if the mechanism they communicate on operated even at 3/4ths the speed of light, it'd actually have less signal delay from one end of the earth to the other than our own synapses can have inside the brain. Seriously btw, you can do the math yourself, thought and reactions are insanely complex electrochemical events and a given signal only manages to travel through nerve tissue at an average speed of something roughly like the speed of sound.

Also, just gonna rant that i often dislike "science"-ing some parts of scifi too much. Like what, gonna just assume we have perfect understanding of the universe and all possible mechanisms for doing something within it? As easily as one could say "entanglement" or "neutrinos", someone else could make up an explanation of how biology is too wet and noisy for entanglement anyway, and then someone else could make some excuse (real or technobabble) for how you might do it anyway.

The ISS gets resupplied every couple months. It's completely believable that information about their existence and the launch schedule was integrated into the hive early on since it started on a military installation and they contaminated the payload before launch. Or if it spread enough they could have made up an excuse to spool up an emergency resupply mission because ground tracking showed its orbit decaying anomalously and it needing a reboost early. It's not like the people on the ISS would have known any better to say no, at worst it would have seemed a little suspicious but then they're all soldiers up there anyway so they're not about to argue.

Nigger, they serve the immune peoples every request(as long as it doesnt hurt anyone/anything else) just ask them to never have hivemind men talk about all the sex you have with hivemind women and it will comply.

the problem is that not giving Carol reassuring answers (even made-up ones) is actually contrary to its own need to keep her calm. with access to the knowledge of the entire human race it ought to not be so comedically inept. so its just contrived writing.

If the plurb was perfectly human and had human common sense with a directive to keep Carol calm and safe, it would be a perfect villain. It wouldn't admit to Carol that it had a drone spying on her, it wouldn't try to so obviously manipulate her with Helen's memories. It would do a much better job downplaying the aftermath of its seizure. It wouldn't get baited into puppeting the jeet kid at dinner, it would be much more convincing about its origin than calling it "the joining", which Carol points out. It would use all of its psychologists to build a social manipulation strategy to keep the survivors pacified.

The plurb regularly fucks up social situations, that's part of its dynamic with Carol. You're right that it's inept, but that seems like a failure on its part rather than the writers. Despite having the whole factual knowledge of the human race, it doesn't seem to have gained its wisdom, social empathy, or self-identity, likely because it's no longer human in a biological sense. A disconnected entity with a brain firing 6.02e+20 neurons (rather than just 86 billion) that has limbs across the whole of the planet, seems to have a biological drive to assimilate everybody down the very last survivor, and cannot die until all 7 billion of its limbs are cut off (which grow at a rate of at least 150,000 a day, assuming it's at least half as fertile as humankind was) is completely alien to humankind, despite being made up of it. It's got a much different perception of the world than we do.

I went through the 2 episodes because I heard it's supposed to be good. Why is my pov character an angry privileged middle aged booze guzzling lesbian telling minorities what to do (also hilarious she only cares about english speaking ones opinions)? On top of that the writing is dogshit and doesn't even stick to the premise

Tbh if the protag can't handle pretty simple world predicament she should fucking kill herself. I guess thats why they made the alien hivemind virus have a no kill rule cause otherwise it would just squash the non-affected

>In George R.R. Martin's Hugo Award-winning novella, telepathic lovers Robb and Lyanna ("Lya") are sent to the alien world of Shkea to investigate a disturbing mystery: why are human settlers abandoning their lives to join a native religion that culminates in ritual suicide?

>They discover the Shkeen people devote themselves to the "Cult of the Union." Upon reaching maturity, they are joined by a symbiotic organism called the Greeshka, which connects their minds into a blissful collective consciousness. The final stage is "Final Union," where the Shkeen willingly allow the Greeshka to consume them, achieving a permanent, ecstatic state within the whole.

>Using their powers, Robb as an empath and Lya as a powerful telepath, the couple probes the minds of human converts. They are overwhelmed by a sense of profound, all-encompassing love and unity so powerful it erases any fear of death. Lya senses an ancient, god-like presence within the Greeshka's collective mind.

>Robb fears this impersonal love, clinging to his individual relationship with Lya. But for Lya, whose gift has always been a source of profound loneliness, the promise of true, total union is an irresistible siren song. The story becomes a tragic conflict between the love that binds two individuals and the seductive allure of a love that dissolves the self entirely, leading to a heartbreaking conclusion that questions the very nature of love, identity, and the price of escaping loneliness.

They consider the existence of immunes a threat to their own existence, but they are huge moralfags so they cant kill or imprison them.
I suppose they think its worth the risk of a couple million "people" dying just so they can try and convince Carol that they aint so bad.
>>
>>215854699
If contact with carol can result in millions of cells of an organism dying, the organism should just avoid contact. No killing or imprisonment required. The script needs to address why the organism needs absolutely every human being not N-13. If it doesn't its just contrived "because this is how I wrote it" garbage

The immunes are a nonissue to the hivemind. They are less than 20, the hivemind is billions.
And only 1(2 depending on what guy from paraguay's deal is) even antagonize the hive.
It's not like the hive has "specialized nodes" either, the population is undifferentiated, killing one is no different than killing another and given the numbers it has no reason to care if even millions die given it is billions.

It can but it generally doesnt. Carol may hate the hivemind but she still harbors sympathy for the people in it and even went out of her way to help one. She doesnt do the spaz hive thing on purpose and seems guilty about it even. And in the global scheme a loss of a couple millions is incredibly small.
Besides, the idea of the hivemind being purely logical went out the window with the whole "we dont kill animals" and letting zoo animals fuck off freely to the streets in such a way that some of its bodies got mauled.

I think the other "survivors" are faking it and this is some game or test or just buying time that the aliens are doing because logically if they are concerned about people who are not infected and want to "fix" them they would kill Carol and not tell the others about her since the others are ok with being infected. Maybe the aliens are trying to gaslight her with them since all they can think in is mob mentality which they are doing

Given they all miraculously became vegan pacifists even though that 100% would not be the consensus if you averaged every human on earth together there’s definitely more to it than the “oh it’s just all people combined into one” narrative Carol’s told in episode 1, whether it’s an actual figure leading them or just the virus itself overriding things is yet to be seen though
