first for fuck Carroll the insufferable cunt
can i say it?
>>215928685> We wont see the other uninfected and they will be killed or assimilated of screen
>>215928787>86 years old fisherman from italiewhat racial slur would he use against the hivemind?
Why is Carol such a retard being freaked out over the hivemind doing hivemind shit over and over again? She's a fiction writer for fucks sake, she knows what a hivemind is.
>>215928685About fuckin time
>>215928685>So tell me kid, how was your first anal fisting?
apple is shilling this shit so bad
>>215928297 >What purpose does it fucking serves?In this very specific case her being s dyke serves the narrative structure of the story. Otherwise you have to explain why no family or kids and the whole thing works better if she's a woman. She's the ULTIMATE underdog. She's physically weak. No tangible skills or way to defend herself. Literally nothing but a bad attitude. It's her only weapon.
>>215928685EXPLAIN to me how they got to the astronauts on the ISSEXPLAIN to me how they got to the nuclear submarines before the military found outEXPLAIN to me how they got to every single uncontacted tribe in the worldEXPLAIN to me how they got to everyone in Antarctica
>>215928916It bothered me when she didn’t figure out that the way to get through to the Paraguayan guy would be to cuss him out. She just kind of does it unthinkingly with no reflection after the fact
>>215929043Name one (1) show airing right now that's worth watching besides this one.
>>215929087They lied about it.
>>215929087>supply rocket>supply submarine>chemtrails>chemtrails
>>215928823I am from Sardinia myself, most likely something like "Cunn'e Mamma rua" or "Vill'e bagassa", if it has to be against the plurb specifically, then something like "Tottus accallonaus"
this is increasingly just a "what if apocalypse but MC is a basic bitch retard roastie" show
>>215929087Chem trails and supply/food deliveries. It's not complicated.
>>215929098I mean that's expected of her at this point. Yelling at people without thinking is her signature move
>>215929087>Antarctica / Uncontacted Tribes chemtrails>AstronautsThey infected someone on Earth who knew about uninfected Astronauts, maybe they remote controlled their spacecraft into the path of the infection ray, or send poisoned resources, or sent another infected person into space who then infected all of them.> Nuclear subssend a message to people on the subs saying urgent we have to talk then infect themThey've already been shown to be deceptive
>>215929087The only unrealistic one is the astronaurs, no way you can send them anything unscheduled without them asking questions.All the others were just chemtrail'd.
Ok just marathoned the episode (why the fuck dos it release at almost midnight of a fucking thursday?). This episode pretty much confirms to me at least that this whole show will be very small scale, right? Nothing really happens and its just character development focused. Thoughts?
>>215929087>Astronauts/Nuclear Submarines/AntarcticaHow long was it between the rat bite and the military finding out about the hivemind when Carol arrives in New Mexico? A single hivemind victim would compromise any of those, and the only one that would be difficult to do (Astronauts) could conceivably be compromised by licking one random ration in an already-planned supply mission.>Uncontacted tribeIf it's uncontacted but known about that's easy, if it's uncontacted and unknown then it's reasonable they were hit in the complete global saturation attacks (chemtrails)
>>215929087>>215929117Somebody pointed out they couldn't have gotten to the nuclear submarines. They are submerged for 6 months and calling them all up would be immensely suspicious. Hence the nuclear football will come back into play.
I think when Kim screams chinga tu madre into the phone it was intentional to make the paranoid spanish guy realize that she was real. I was almost expecting him to redial immediately after that but it didn't happen. The infected people never get upset or raise their voices ever (because they'll seize out lmao)
>>215929176Yeah but she’s also so desperate to talk to a >90 IQ uninflected it strains credulity to imagine she wasn’t thinking “how would I convince someone similar to me that I’m not infected”
>>215929202>character development focusedthere's only one character that can develop and after two episodes of establishing her, nothing about her developed in the third episode.
>>215929202the premise immediately writes you into a corneryou can't develop any characters because there are no characters behind hivemind and kim, and a couple random browns
>>215929117>airing right now Do a flip and die apple shill
>>215928742Hell yeah a fellow incel! Fuck Skylar White too what a bitch.
>>215929087>>215929195>>215929247I have a gut feeling that one of the twists will be that there's still nuclear subs or astronauts or some sequestered remanence of government that are holding outit's still unconfirmed whether the hivemind can lie or be deceptive. Why wouldn't they be able to? If anything, being overly transparent is a manipulation tactic.
>>215929285This is Vince we are talking about, he will VERY SLOWLY introduce the non-ESL characters ONE by ONE.
>>215929176>Yelling at people without thinking is her signature moveKind of like 'the peoples elbow' amirite
>>215928685Is this good? The main character seems to be an ugly liberal white women so first impressions aren't great.
Pluribussy
Bravo Vince for the "you didn't ask them what it's like??" scene so we now don't have to have a single scene where 0 curiosity Carol asks a single interesting question
>>215929337>uglyrun
>>2159293373 episodes and pretty much nothing has happened after the first 15 minutes
So what are they going to do with Carol's frozen eggs? Experiment to figure out why she's immune? Use them to make a baby?
>>215929315See this is one of the logic puzzles that we want to see Carol ponder, since she’s a writer and presumably somewhat male brained as a lesbian
>>215929337It's a big nothingburger so far. It's not good or bad, there's nothing going on at all. Literally nothing happened in the last episode. I'm not a massive plotfag but stuff needs to happen at least at some reasonable pace.
>>215929315I think so too.They asked Carol not to go out and cut cellular networks, plus most senior government dead seems like there was still resistance after the Joining.The focus on nuclear football and surveillance device in Air Force One seems like Chekhovs Gun, it probably recorded President or senior staff debating something.And we saw the air base on on lockdown, could be a plot hook for later.In any case these shows always have more survivors and some remnants of military/government.
>>215929292Go back to your Mr. Beast brainrot. I know you have notifications turned on so you don't miss a drop.
>>215929400You WILL watch robots stock shelves for 8 minutes to this upbeat music, it's very high brow
The early synopsis that it wasn't a hivemind, just an incurable disease that makes everyone extremely happy and content (while still keeping the helpful and we-will-infect-you plot) would have been a better story setupYou can even still have the hivemind, just have the disease rapidly progressing into that as the season 1 or season 2 twistNot only does this give the overarching plot actual progression, it makes it easier to write the conflicts since not having it initially be a hivemind makes characters not hating Pluribus or even liking it more reasonable. You could even have a extra twist on the formula by having Carol, an experienced fiction author, have the creativity to come up with and realize that a Hivemind is forming before it's actually revealed by the victims.tldr show needs something to fucking happen
I re-watched the first episode and the line about President also mentioned "most senior members of the government" died. This is far too suspicious to be an accidental line.
>>215929337If you aren't the type of person to already be watching it then you probably won't like it.
Will the paraguayan be... /ourguy/?
Besides the subs you have military bunker silos with staff on standby. And is not just USA, but Russia and China too. There is absolutely no chance they got them all before mass casualties happened.And what about a secluded paranoid place like North Korea?
>>215929426they also had that drone flying overhead which was completely unnecessary to just monitor kim
So why the flashback scene in the beginning? It added literally nothing. Did they think the viewers already forgot who Helen was?
>>215929504They probably escaped and sealed themselves off somehow in a doomsday bunker.
>>215929400The first non pilot episode is always a filler episode. It goes all the way back to old school Battlestar Galactica and having all the viper pilots getting sick.
>>215929608I think it was to establish that she froze her eggs. They will probably make babies with them to test if her babies have immunity too.
>>215929608Uhm it's called character building sweetie
I remember Vince talking about the show and mentioning how it was for real TV fans, and that it was a show where you couldn't just have it on a second monitor. Back then, I assumed that he meant it as in there would be a lot going on, overarching plots and multiple characters with their own storylines. But now I realize this show was actually made for the YouTube crowd, the kind of people who watch the "10 DETAILS IN THE LATEST EPISODE OF X"- type of videos. Because seriously, nothing is happening in this show. We're just getting anecdotes of things that MIGHT become relevant later.
>>215928685To me Carol seems to be evolving to a Skylar type character. Extremely demanding, No care for others, indiscriminate killing, drug addiction, etc.
What did Reddit, Twitter and Youtube think of this boring ass episode
>>215929716Her gf died and the entire human race as we know it ended in a day. You'd think she's acting pissy after getting into a fender bender or something the way people are characterizing her. Absolutely 0 slack from the chudsquad
>>215929747They liked it because they were in it
>>215929716>No care for othersdemonstrably false. she cares a bizarre amount for the infected, even after having frequent meltdowns calling them soulless she still feels bad about giving them seizures.
>the pluribus event happenswhat would you be doing brosI don't think I could have sex with any of the mindraped women because that would technically be having sex with family
>>215929582The hive know all secret locations, access codes, combinations, the names of any and all personnel that would be in them. Nobody in a government position is getting away. And anybody off the grid in remote sibera is breathing chem trails. The only hope is being immune.
>>215929787Meant for>>215929741
>>215929807governments have complex biohazard protocolsnot inconceivable that trump is monitoring the situation from the bunker
>>215929804People keep saying this but it’s not like their subjectivity is trapped inside watching and reacting to everything
>get a bright idea on a rainy saturday afternoon>ask plurbs to tie you up like in the movies because it would be hot>the plurb complies>carol has a tardrage>your wrangler does not wake up againuh oh
sneak peak
On one hand, I find the other immune people not despising Pluribus unrealistic because the absolute first thing 99.999% of humanity would do in their shoes is ask for or about their family members and friends, whereupon Pluribus would be compelled to inform them that they aren't really their parents/siblings/kids/spouses/friends anymore, especially given how god awful Pluribus is at PR.On the other hand, I find the shows depiction of thirdies as fucking retarded very realistic
>>215929608to show carol is been a miserable cunt since forever?is clear that one of the points the series is trying to make is that carol dint knew how good she had it before the virus
>”God bless America”>”biggest mass murderer since Stalin” >”we had to collectivize everything, it’s just more efficient this way :)”>the plurbus being an empire of love a la GAEPart of what compels me about this show is the suspense of waiting to find out whether it’s actually based or just a weird fluke
I wouldn't say nothing happened this ep>introduce ESLs>frozen eggs, more depth of Carol's relationship "dont think about her" manipulation>furthers hivemind central planning gommunism "effeciency" vs individualism and desire (what are they planning?) >grenade is new level of Carol's understanding of their "good will" subservience>drinking scene introduces the hive mind attempting to converse at the level of an individual (can only spout factoids and memories) I expect those last 3 to be the focus explored throughout
>>215929849It's not a dumb virus. The infected are acting with intent. It's a totally unique situation.
>>215929936Oh yeah, the third worlders being complacent is another brick in the based argument
>>215929936I think it would be a pretty common reaction for most average people to just deny reality and continue living with the delusion that they're family members are still who they used to be like the pajeeta did
>>215928685What's the significance of Zosia driving this car?
>>215929936they're low-IQ turdies, go figure
>>215929949see i thought there would be that tension over how the infected are pure hive mind losing their past self but the other humans family members seemed to still retain a large degree of subjective personhood so that's a bit unclear for me
>>215929861>tfw you are now David Carradine
why does the troonmind give a shit about the feelings and wants and needs of the survivors- they handpick some woman in arabia because she thinks kim will find her hotalso notice that in the scenes with the pajeeta's family, they're all talking like they're family at a table, not like the robots that talk to kimwhy is it somehow psychically linked to them
>>215929968>It would be a common reaction for people to deny realityI would agree, but Pluribus (unintentionally) fucks with that at any opportunity. It would take a suspension-of-disbelief-breaking amount of mental illness and mental ineptitude to write a character capable of being that deluded through Pluribus' repeated masquerade violations
>>215929978why was zhe listening to and enjoying music
>>215930051>kim BCS ended you chud,her name is carol
>>215930023they were putting on an act to placate the pajeeta
zosia is beautiful but that ass was sad
>>215929949>introduce>introduce>introducenothing happened, but they're setting up things that might become relevant in later episodes. which means this episode will only be good in hindsight.also does it really matter what the hivemind wants? it's a hivemind, it wants to assimilate everyone and do hivemind things. introducing a convoluted plot about the hivemind having some sort of secret plan to do something specific almost sounds too grandiose considering we only have Carol as a protagonist>>215930023they don't have any personhood, it's just that that body is acting as that person. they share all knowledge, so technically any body could act as your parent/child/sibling
>>215929804At that point, they are going to have so many memories of having sex with family, you really shouldn't worry about it. Your father's gonna hvae the memory of both fucking your sister and being fucked as her
>>215930155rude
>>215930166no more virgins!
>Just found out rhea seehorn is 53I thought she was in her early 40s at best bros...
>>215930052you have clearly never worked with an indian woman
This show would be so much better with a male MC. Also, who are you guys choosing for your harem if you are immune
>>215929716This is really low IQ and out of character. Carol is supposed to be the one that understands the gravity of the situation and respects the threat of the infected
ILOVEZOSIA'S SMILE!
>>215930257if it had a male MC then the problem would've been solved by now
>>215930155filming that negative ass naked is one weird choice....
>>215930156>they don't have any personhoodIt's kind of western-anglo centric to assume non native english speakers have no personality or agency so if they become a pod person their family won't know the difference. I think it was Nicole Kidman's Invasion where a non English speaking old Asian was trying to explain that their spouse was a pod person but nobody believed them. So it can go both ways I guess.
>>215930305she was drunk and mixing the alcohol with her meds, it's actually one of the more understandable actions in the episode
>>215930305>Noooo the entire world is over if you get shitfaced you're an idiot!!!Are you faggots even human lol
>>215930329>It's kind of western-anglo centric to assume non native english speakers have no personality or agencyit's also true
>>215930336>>215930375That isn't what drunk logic is like, lazy cop out
>>215930329>It's kind of western-anglo centric to assume non native english speakers have no personality or agency so if they become a pod person their family won't know the difference.and what does that have to do with my statement? once you get infected and become part of the network, you stop being a person. you share the memories, knowledge and skills of every other person in the network.
>>215930052They could have asked the plurbs to act like their relatives because they’ve absorbed the knowledge of great actors
>>215930407>drunk logicthat's not a thing
>>215930052I live in a 3rd world country, that was the most realistic part of the show.
>>215929936>whereupon Pluribus would be compelled to inform them that they aren't really their parents/siblings/kids/spouses/friends anymoreIt doesn't act that way. We see the hivemind is capable of small talk and normal enough behavior. No one was erased, more like they've joined something bigger.
>>215928685>does a textbook hitchcock bombbravo vince
>>215930437>and what does that have to do with my statement?How would Carol react if her spouse was still alive but as a pod person?
eppy sode 4 tomorrows?
>>215930504Are you implying your ability to reason goes out the window because you knocked a couple back? That's not how alcohol works
>>215930532Next Thurs
>>215929247>>215929315I doubt it. Vince doesn't seem to be interested in telling/exploring that part of the story.
>>215930530I am wondering if they'll try and use a spouse look a like acting with all her memories and personality
>>215930569wtf bros
II hate this trope of making us feel bad for the MC by killing their partner either at the beginning of the story or during a flashback. Even Christopher Nolan stopped doing this.
>>215930595This plus milking it with flashbacks is the laziest version of the trope
>>215930595I have zero empathy for lesbo relationships
>>215930575No. She specifically told them not to do it. She would throw a hissy fit an murder them all.
the convenience store muh independent woman part was way too much on the nose
>>215928685I would Plow'r'bussy if you catch my drift.
>>215930639>oh you're independent? well did you forget that you live in a society?
hope we get some kinos where anon changes the subtitlei love those!
>i want my sprouts back godamnit,NOW!bring the slaves and get to work!this fucking bitch...
>the global hivemind is benevolentdoubt
>get told that vince is on the same level as the creators of the sopranos, wire and mad men>he makes the most boring 43 minutes of television ever
>>215930683>not having a massive orgy with all of the hot randomers brought in from the streetmost unrealistic part
>>215930655I’m sure the show didn’t intend it but it really got across just how little women actually understand about independence.
I keep forgetting vince is not esmail
Just watched the latest episode on my Apple MacBook Pro and i'm not feeling it bros... i think i'll cancel the auto renew on my Apple TV subscription
>>215930595I was meant to feel bad?

>Breaking Bad is a great character-driven drama series>Better Call Saul is a great character-driven drama series>Pluribus is advertised as being from the same creator>Only one character in focus>No drama>The main plot of the show is the main character going around being upset at things>There is a mystery that the show could be centered around, but it's more of a background thing and the show instead focuses on showing us scenes of the main character being upsetSeriously, what was Vince thinking?
>>215930704What if the entire show is xfiles (more like x)filler with zero mytharchYes Vince bravo your a genius please take several billion dollars and 6 seasons and a movie!And then we where all bored for 100hoursWow kino!
>>215930883the main actress' feet, same as the indians here
>>215929247>Naval Fleet Commander is infected>Sends new orders to sub Capt. to rendezvous at designated location. >Capt follows orders because why wouldn't he. >Crew gets infected
I don't think it's that good
Maybe I missed it but why is Kim called Carol now? Where's Saul?
>>215930837>God I wish there was more straight male brained femalesKim Wexler was pretty male-brained. She wasn't emotional and had the sense to realize Saul brought out the worst in people.
I think episode 3 and 2 were swapped, at least most of the episode. it makes no sense for Carol to be shocked at the grenade, bazooka, and tank escalation AFTER seeing coomba and his Air Force One harem. it's already established that she can get anything in the world that she asks for.
This has gotten objectively worse with every new episode. Hope they can turn it around but its not looking great
>>215931026None of it makes sense. "omg you would let me have a nuke????" bitch you can kill 20 million of them by screaming at one and they still interact with you wtf is a nuke needed for and how have you not realized they have limited if any self-presevation
>>215929716when you watch Breaking Bad as a child you side with Walt, when you rewatch as an adult you side with Skylar (if you matured that is)
>>215930375She needs to pick a lane. If she wants to get shitfaced, abuse zannies and throw grenades then she might as well do what the french guys is doing and live it up. Don't come with some "this is the end off the human race as we know it if we don't act, better go get wasted lol.
>>215931122It might be about her only option is to stop them from making another dish. But it might not be enough time before they found a "cure" for her.
>>215931245People are multi-faceted and they act in incongruous and even contradictory ways even in normal circumstances much less in hers.
>>215929456>The early synopsis that it wasn't a hivemind, just an incurable disease that makes everyone extremely happy and contentIt was incredibly obvious from the trailer that it was a hivemind, and if you did not spot that then you should be banned from posting on these gens
>>215931231You side with skylar and feel sorry for her until you realize that she had countless opportunities to gtfo of the situation and chose to stay while complaining about staying
I guess my question is, where is the conflicting and tension going to come from? Right now we only have Carol's goal which seems unnaitanble and we haven't really seen the hive minds disposition when push comes to shove in conflict. Vince teased that a bit with making a choice between harem King and Carol. I mean it'll have to be some combination of that and Carol's unresolved grief for her wife right? Nothing more to it atm, probably just all gussyd up with DUDE SO DEEP us vs. I themes
>hello, dear immune of 4chan. Rest assured we are working hard to figure out why you cannot join us and soon you will be able to!

Zosia
>>215931411wait, people are expecting this show to have conflict and tension?
>>215931421drown in shit coomer
>>215931445I mean this has been a fine setup of speculative fiction setting the table but it can't stay in this langurous gear right? What is it 8 episodes? With intention for more seasons?
Thank you for another enjoyable show, Vince.
>>215931497if it is just 8 episodes per season that just makes spending time on dumb gags like the grocery store even more offensive
>>215931559it's 10
today I will remind them
>>215931583Ten hour movies were a mistake.
>>215931277>People are multi-faceted and they act in incongruous and even contradictory ways even in normal circumstances much less in hers.The only people that do this are Low-IQ or people no impulse control. If you were behind enemy lines and felt as though a single mistake could kill you, would you act like she is acting?
>>215931411there wont be any this is just a character study. unfortunately that character is a one-note bitter alcoholic lesbian so... either you want to see that or you find something else to watch

1. Carol - incapable of dealing with the situation, constantly shocked by everything hivey, doesn't think through anything at all2-12. Subhumans - living in pretend world until they die or are infected13. Unknown - doesn't like to communicate with the hivewhat the fuck is wrong with (fictional) people

>>215931317I'm convinced most of this idiots still trying to make discourse about Breaking Bad watched it once over a decade ago and have just been arguing about it ever since. They call it "media illiteracy" if you don't think Skyler and Jesse are perfect little angels suffering the wrath of the satanic Walter, but if you actually rewatch the show, they're both pretty terrible people that frequently escalate conflicts and derail situations out of selfishness or ego. But people just remember the last handful of episodes and El Camino

>>215932175>weirdly honest worldso, the hivemind isn't lying about anything?, I think they worded it deceitfully, ironically.
there is a lot of repetition going on; basically claire just going through the same emotions over and over. i think this show might have worked better as like a 2.5 hour movie (depending on how it plays out)
>>215932219Vince is willing to do 4 season btw

>>215932324Nobody in this thread would even know how to launch it. If they delivered it to Carol's doorstep, she wouldn't be able to use it. The US doesn't even have atomic bombs anymore either.

I hate how the show treat the infected as if there were separate humans beings at times. It's like the director of a specific scene completely forgot for some reason.
They can't kill animals right? So the whole world will just go vegetarian?
What's so bad about joining the hive?
>>215932540They can't kill anything. Don't know how that'll work with human biology and all, but they all probably manufacture nutrient supplements for that.It's also one of those plot points that has been set up and might pay off one day, in that they can't kill anyone with intention. But if a non-infected ordered an infected to do something that indirectly killed another non-infected...
Why doesn't Carol just ask for a bunch of money so she can sell it and buy a whole truck full of diamonds, she could be the richest person on earth
>>215932577The nuke conversation is clearly pointing to how dangerous someone could be with infinite resources at a snap of their fingers
>>215929608the flashback was 15% of the entire episode
>>215932596money means nothing anymore in their world. She can just ask for anything she would normally buy
>>215932624That's why I said she can ask for money to sell
>>215932219The concept is gold but that's also it's achilles heel, there's not much to work withOn top of that, Carol is not compelling at all. She's depressed despite being reasonably successful and seems to take every opportunity to complain and bitch about something. Her dynamic with her lover seems to be one where shes endlessly moody and her partner strokes her hair and tries to make her feel better. It's difficult to empathise with her.The show would have worked better with a man as a lead.
>>215930052
this show is plurbtastic!
I believe the Hive is lying about the no kill rule but I can't prove it yet.
weird polish creature
>>215932701Very pleased to hear you think the show is suplerb.
>>215932709Remember: they say they freed all the animals from the zoos. They probably also "freed" all the pets, as well. But if this is the case, where are all the animals roaming the streets? The only mention of animals was from the Chinese lady in episode 2.
It's disturbing how much of a fall off there is from episode 2 to episode 3. I think they should have left this one on the editing room floor, I could do without 100% of the scenes from the without exaggeration.
>>215932709The hive could probably, for example, set bear traps that someone could coincidentally walk into but not with the intention to kill, that’s a lot of wiggle room for murder
It doesnt make any sense for the other uninfected to not try and kill CarolThey know shes actively working agaisnt their desires, and she is unhinged and has killed millions of people, including the uninfecteds 'family'Such a brainlet move from her to expose herself like that even after being told she would not be protected. If they dont introduce an actual threat from an uninfected gunnng for her it'll be a real failure
>>215929087numerous kissings
How many guys out there wouldn’t do what the jeet guy does and just fuck all the hoes

>>215932791noguns elderlies / women / children do not posses the martial spirit necessary to proactively hunt down a woman halfway across the planet who has a seven nation army at her beck and call
>>215932863Is he ourguy?
>>215932175they're really going to drag this out aren't they
>>215932771yeah, it was not a gripping episode, was it? and the the product placement was a bit cheap coming from apple...
>>215930595its called fridging
>>215932912>Hi Carol! Would you like us to renew your Apple TV subscription?
>>215932900I would be lying if I said I wouldn't do exactly what he didalthough I'd probably get bored real quick and realise there's nothing new under the sun now humanity's gone
>>215932771Eh, I think all three episodes have significant flaws. Episode 1 drags on for too long to showcase things we already understand, and 2 ended up not going anywhere, just setting up potential things for later.
>>215932945There's plenty to do especially if you have the entire manforce of Earth at your disposal. I'd probably set up a command center and work on different projects like space exploration or restoring ecosystems.
>>215929202The episode releases at 9:00 PM EST on Thursday. You're welcome.
Can't wait for the DVD release of this series.
>>215932994but there's no-one to share it with other than a creepy hivemind
>>215933024I'm personally going to be purchasing the VHS release.
>>215933050I'm more like the others where I'd talk way more with the hivemind. But also, you can set up communications between the imunes using something like satellite phones.
Would your knowledge be valuable to the hive
>>215932219this is just gonna be lost 2.0
>>215929944You clearly haven't watched BCS/BB. It's gonna be based.
>>215933116If they get the info from my brain first, yes
how the hell can this show last for more than one season? it should've been a movie, a mini-series at most.
Are the 13 all different races
>>215929804>Demand they put up an entire airport (replica of Singapore's that is staffed 24/7) next to my house mostly because I'm curious how capable they are>Then get the concorde rebuild and retrofit every single airport in the world so I can land wherever I want with it>Figure out how they work, human brains aren't capable of storing that much information so they must communicate in some way aka magnetic waves>Build a device that allows them to technically assimilate me to fulfill their instructions but remain myself>Play god, become a bank robber, have they tear down Rome and turn it into an exact replica of Rome during the late republic so I can larp and live the life of CaesarOne issue with this show is that you're basically living in a dream VR game except it's actually real so you don't have the downside of it being just a mirageThe whole show feels like it answers the question of "what would you do with a million dollar?" with "continue working at McDonalds except I know have a million dollar in my account"The issue isn't that "nothing is happening" it's that it's Westworld except the park really is just a PG-13 cowboy themed vacation resort with robots that never malfunction Such a fucking waste of a good premise, it's basically breaking bad without the meth did Vince forgot that you need more than characters + drama to have people give a shit?That an all powerful hivemind that works like an LLM requires you to actually explore it's effects on the world?It really feels like he found the idea interesting enough and never realized that it's a TV-show where such a crazy premise isn't captivating by itself, Star Trek's replicator has a similar effect on the show as the hivemind in Pluribus but if Star Trek was just about character drama with the occasional 8 minute montage showing what the replicator does nobody would give a shit
Answer?
I do know this for sure: this show is going to have an incredible fan cut
>>215933185>And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
>>215933116>pluribus I need an expert on the full lore of Bloodborne
>>215932863I would have them set up a 1970s style big city bathhouse and populate it with various celebrities, onlyfans and various people from my life before the joining. They’d have to be rigorously screened for HIV, but once inside the game will be for them all to pretend they have it, and my seed is the only cure, and also it can only be ingested anally. They also have to use the combined acting knowledge of humanity to pretend that life is normal, except for the part where they have AIDS and need my semen.
>>215933142except the inverselost had a fun and compelling cast of characters, pluribus doesn'tlost had a mystery that while retarded, kept viewers hooked to see what would happen next. pluribus has a mystery, but doesn't do anything with it, just adding details in the backgroundlost had episodes where things happened
>>215932865kek
the grenade explosion was a plot hole because the previous episodes established that even just shoving joined people would disrupt the whole Hivemind. But now Zosia got blown up in an explosion and the Hivemind is healthy enough that they can still drive emergency vehicles
>>215933216Who still has a landline in 2025
So the hive has all the knowledge of the world yes? Does that mean they're constantly researching and studying then maybe by having a bunch of people in research centers or something? They would learn super fast with all that shared studying and should, in theory, make immense technological advances fast.
>>215933255You're a fucking idiot, there's been 3 episodes of this show.
>>215933210Star Trek in its prime could make great stories with five stock actors and three stock sets.
>And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
>>215933291How can people be this much of a brainlet? It wasn't the shove. It was the negative emotion directed at the hive that it cannot handle.
>>215933291You're retarded
>>215929195>no way you can send them anything unscheduled without them asking questions.What do you mean? Astronauts are soldiers operating in a peacetime context most of the time as far as we know anyway. They're not in a position to be asking questions about what their superiors are telling them to do. All they'd have to do is infect some number of the ranking officials in the org and some of the groundcrew to have enough info to justify an expedited resupply, and that's if there doesn't happen to be a resupply already scheduled and executed before shit hit the fan anyway.
>>215931026Yo this is actually a brilliant post thanks I am serious, I was thinking why am I watching this. They tried to get us hooked in with the Air Force One thing they thought it would be too boring doing the grenades thing. Episode 4 should be really good then because IMO 1 was good and 2 was okayish good. 3 stunk but 3 was going to be 2 so 4 should kick ass.
>>215933147I did but I binged them and don’t remember :(
>>215933312and? are you saying that the first three episodes don't have to be good or interesting?
>>215933333checked
>>215929087tv spergs really get upset about the least important thing in this shitshow
>>215933210You could ask them to create the VR holodeck technology for you though
I didn’t understand the hiveminds reply to the question if there is any scientist survivors.
>and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
>>215933409Probably was referring to the so called science of gastronomy
>>215933409Carol asked if there were any experts, and the Hivemind started talking about this Japanese guy who's an expert cook
>>215933409Carol asked "any experts?" at the end of asking for medical professionals and they basically responded "there's an expert chef!"
this shit is so boring and uneventful>1 character show where the character is mid
>>215933364they are not good. and even worse, there is nothing in the future that will make this episode good in hindsight. nothing happened that could be elevated by later reveals. maybe, maybe the power blackout, but is seriously doubt it.
>>215933364I don't know how you can say things haven't happened. We got a fuckton of plot in the first 2 eps
>>215933210Basically these are similar complaints on /tv/ that I heard about another show The Last Man on Earth. "Why are there other people" "why isn't everything just about this dude going on wacky adventures where he goes parachuting alone and talks to a soccer ball he paints a face on"Your final sentence was VERY funny though, I love the idea of Vince Star Trek. Captain Kirk walks down the halls on The Enterprise, adjusts a few bolts, keeps people on task. 12 minutes later you are like WTF I thought this was a SPACE SHOW???Then Kirk enters the bridge, you have a lowkey funny conversation, then Chekov said "Klingon Bird of Prey on viewscreen" 30 minutes later you get a conversation with a Klingon and its been 35 minutes??? Then 5 minutes of flying to a planet.>>215933333Checked the truth nuke
>Home Repair #2 is now credited for Episode 8 as wellEpisodes 4-8 will be the hive slowly repairing Carol's home.
>>215933462The character was supposed to originally be a male imagine if she was Glen Powell instead, I actually Ryan Reynolds would kill this role.
>aaaaaaaaaa save me science!!what's her plan here, ask the one or two scientists that might exist to pray to Sagan for deliverance?btw this show is already starting to grate because she's retarded in that way that most women are (good writing I guess)

>>215933531I hope they find a heckin scientist and he turns out to be a dentist or something
>>215933570>They bring a social scientist to her
I don't get the atomic bomb thing at all. If the hivemind doesn't want to hurt animals/uninfected people, how could they allow Carol to use one?
>>215933116I can retell the entirery of red vs blue seasons 1-5 from memory, line by line
>>215932945Why do you need new shit? Just get a backlog of kino. Surely you haven't seen everything there is. Even have the hive give you recommendations based on your likes - and have them make subtitles for shit in foreign languages that don't have subs. Visit new places around the world, you can even have them set it up for you in advance so it looks more lively upon your arrival.
>>215933511>All these hints at Carol wanting a scientistThese "home repair" people will be ordered by Carol to build a lab under her house, she will eventually find a scientist to make a cure in said lab
>>215933599Preemptively evacuating the area of effect
>>215933477episode 1 established the premise of the event, but did it in such a slow and redundant way that it and episode 2 could've been combined if they cut down the bloat from 1. the only major developments in 2 is that there are other people like the main character, but they don't give a shit and that the main character can kill people with seizures. and episode 3 isn't much better, just reiterating things because apparently the MC is extremely dense. if the show actually had used any kind of mystery to encourage people to watch the next episode things might've been different, but they were very clear in explaining everything in the very first episode. so all we get are sprinkles of hints of things that might happen in the future, which is very boring.compare this to even the very first episode of lost, where they establish stuff like Jack's dad apparently being alive and the weirdness of Locke. or for a more relevant example, think of the first episodes of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, they both have hooks to keep the viewer watching. Pluribus doesn't. it just tells you exactly what's going on and then expects you to theorize about every little detail in hopes that they'll become relevant.
>>215933410>primed grenade literally about to explode>"erm... epic fail Carol, methinks! yeah... maybe WE should take over?" i'm willing to defend most of the shit people are getting pissed off about but I can't with this part

ngl plurbusbroskis.If the next episode doesn't deliver anything to change the current dynamic of the show or otherwise make things more thrilling then I'm out. These past 3 episodes could have just been 1.5 episodes max if you cut out the shit that literally did nothing. The entirety of episode 3 was irrelevant as fuck, with the only things of note being>Carol froze her eggs >purrugaylord dude is the only other survivor that hates plurbs so will returnThat's it. The rest of the episode was literally filler and it's sad that at EP3 we are already getting filler of this level. How the fuck can this be "4 seasons worth of content" if they are already running out of ideas on what to show us this early in the run?>CAROL, WE WILL GIVE YOU A GRENADE!>Uhh what the fuck? Audience, are you as surprised as I am?? haha, that wacky Pluribus amirite?Actually, Carol, we literally established this last episode you retarded speedwatcher. Chad asked them if they'd be willing to give him weapons to hunt his own meat, and if they would be willing to prepare said meat for him as long as he did the killing, and they already said they would. Maybe if you stopped looking at your fucking phone and watched the fucking episode you'd already see this was established and wouldn't have to waste 30 minutes of our time setting up a question we already had the answer to, retard.>CAROL, YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET IS OUT OF STOCK!>What the FUCK Pluribus! I want my market NOW! I am STRONG INDEPENDANT WOMAN and I WILL NOT RELY ON YOU. Now STOCK THE SHELVES FOR ME BECAUSE I CANNOT PHATHOM HOW TO MAKE MY OWN MEALS WITHOUT BUYING FROM A STORE DEPENDANT ON A LONG SUPPLY CHAIN OF INDIVIDUALS!Okay Carol, this was also established previously when they fucking told you they were cleaning up and consolidating resources for the next phase of their plan. Fucking ADHD zoomer bitch stop scrolling Twitter and watch your own fucking show.
>>215933599it's very clearly meant to be a metaphor for AI prompt engineering (e.g. 'tricking' ChatGPT into telling you how to kill yourself)i'm hoping they actually pull it off in a satisfying waymy lowest IQ theory is the mauritian guy also realizes he can get nukes and uses them to force carol to let him fuck zosia
>>215933800The grenade didn't injure her, it was wooden debris that stuck into her.
>10 Episode Season>Credited for 9 episodes.hmm
>>215933840hope she dies
>>215933811You asked ChatGPT how to kill yourself?
>>215933809Anon, I'm going to be completely honest with youYour time is not valuable enough to not spend a few of hours a week watching the episode and discussing it for a bit in these threads. You will watch the whole season. You and I both know you will.
>>215928685
>>215933858>woah, pim, you're suicidal? I knew I liked you bro, bring it in
>>215933622The 13th dude is clearly some high IQ individual. Even if his profession isn't medical scientist, he probably has the chops to learn along the way and is probably busy grinding that shit out right now. Unlike WOMAN MOMENT Carol who accepts her fate half-assed cause she also doesn't want to accept her fate but hasn't the slightest idea where to begin on fighting back so defaults to NPC behavior (with sass!)
>>215933853>>215933840We're going to get a whole episode in Paraguay
>>215933932And it's going to be pure kino
>>215933599>sure carol where would you like it delivered>weapons engineers laughing in the hivemind at the idea of a romance novelist being able to use a nuclear weapon
The show is just too slow and poorly built up so ep 3 is already a filler. Discovering AI traits isn't insightful. Well. Maybe for niggercattle.But what are the stakes here after 3 eps?Can humanity be reverted?Can aliens / AI be beat?Will AI go on the offensive?Will humans war with each other?3 eps and nothing is in sight. Also there is no passion to the show, and you don't need to be raunchy to show it. There is no spark in human relationships. No desire for anything, both in flashbacks and in present.
>>215933599I think this scene is less about whether they will or won’t and more about the fact that we now know she can disturb it by creating ethical dilemmas. Based on the description of the next episode I predict she’s going to ask it to be cruel to her or something and it’ll react weird
>>215933858there's already been multiple news cycles of people killing themselves after AI chatbots told them to and I'm confident the writing was inspired by that after the grenade scene alone
>>215928685Let me be Carol. I will swallow the goop immediately. Fuck this loner life.
>So Mr Weinstein which ones did in fact put out and how? Spare no detail.
>>215933983
>>215933999POKER HANDI liked it that the THEY person drank with Carol. Fuck, seems like Carol would have it made, and really fucking enjoy being waited on by all kinds of bitches.
>>215934009Howard-poster, stop. This hurts too much.
Why doesn't carol just watch NGE?
>>215929608Apparently to show Carol has always been a miserable cunt even to the person she loved most
>>215933651I’d just ask them to cure it then
>>215933983You're so fucking right anon! Zosia should have said "You can save humanity" and then started fucking on Carol and sucking her tits! And then Carol says "This ice is making me fucking horny, eat my pussy!" in the ice cave flashback
>>215934062Lesbians are incapable (that kind) of love. (That kind) of love can only exist between a man and a woman of the same raceEverything outside of that is perversion and lust
How is the potential cure even going to work? Humanity's knowledge is all over the place known. Memories shared with everyone.
>>215934095"These pretzels are making me thirsty"
>Carol could actively get the human hivemind to nuclear holocaust the world for herOkay, I've figured it out."Us" is an alien signal meant to create slaves. The world is taken over by a blissed-out living network that can't say no to anything you ask, and then the aliens show up on a new utopia world full of literal slaves.
>>215934127That theory has already been proposed, you DINGUS
I'm starting to think the infected are the good guys in this show. Carol is a whiny bitch who rejects every opportunity for happiness, even before the infections started. The other non-infected are retards, except maybe the guy from the West Indies who just wants to fuck and the guy from Paraguay. Meanwhile, the infected just want to make everyone happy. They're not hurting anyone. Carol is out here being abusive to the other non-infected and obtaining weapons of mass destruction just because she's a whiny bitch.
>>215933983The flashback was hilarious in showing how lesbian relationships are devoid of passion. All Carol could do is bitch and moan while Helen tried everything she could to liven up the mood, didn't complain at all, didn't let Carol sour the mood, had nothing but the warmest smile the entire time. And Carol couldn't even crack half a smile as her wife cuddled up against her. I thought for sure they would end the scene with Carol loosening up a little and melting her cold exterior away as they watched the Northern Lights in silence. I thought they were going to establish "even though she puts on a tough act, deep down inside she's enjoying this." But nope, they just took a moment to freeze the camera onto her fringed bitch expression and move along. At this point it feels more like Carol is angry she lost her fucking dog than her lover, and that's really sad. And the only reason she's so emotional about it is because Hollywood told her she needs to be emotional when losing a "lover" and it feels so forced. Bitch never showed Helen a single ounce of passion even in the flashback. How are we supposed to feel like they had any connection other than publicist/manager and author with benefits? It's like Carol wishes she was with someone else the entire time. Then again, Helen looks like 30 years older than Carol so maybe that's actually the fucking case and there's a reason Carol fantasized about a young pirate lady instead of her actual fucking hag wife.
>>215934149>theyre not hurting anyoneLolLmao
>>215934149>They're not hurting anyone>killed hundreds of millions with chemtrails
The truth is that Rhea Seehorn is annoying and unlikeable and that's why the show doesn't work.
>>215934175Booo! Anon, you don't actually think that!

>>215934156Dunno, Kstew became a dirty slut as soon as she dyked out.
>>215932531This bothers me. What is it with their facial expressions, their pauses in thought, their weird "no, actually nevermind" attitude? What are we supposed to take away from the last scene asking about the atom bomb? That the collective of humanity was "ermm, that would be heckin problematic we guess, but what to do? Why not just a fucking yes or no?
>>215934156more like carol is asexual, they sent her her ideal woman and she doesn't want to fuck it
>>215934212She's relentlessly cute
>>215934258It wants to say yes but it's not retarded also knows Carol is trying to make a point.
>>215934212There's more charisma in these 3 seconds than in the entire show so far.
>>215929339get that hive out ya pluribussy playa
>>215934258There are two schools of thought>firstly, with every other item they could easily minimize damage by clearing the area of animals and or plurbs. A bazooka and whatnot can cause damage but it would be relatively small. An atom bomb, if it were to go off, would be incredibly difficult to mitigate damage from.>secondly, which ive seen a couple anons mentioned, due to pure autism, they are assuming she means an actual, literally, atom bomb, which dont exist anymore as theyve been phased out and replaced with more advanced type of WMDs over the years. Giving carol an atom bomb would require building a fresh one, which is a huge resource dump for them when they seem to be otherwise busy with their own goalsIn both of these cases, they don't want to give her the bomb, but they are incapable of actually saying no. It's like when you ask chat gpt to give you the cheatcodes to coomgames so you can unlock their scene gallery without doing any work. It'll just keep telling you it can't do that until you trick it somehow or go find a different llm with less censorship
>>215929518/ourguay/
>>215934127It sounds kinda silly but I don't see any other reason why the hivemind would give Carol full control without it contradicting the objective of assimilating everyone.Either that or it's straight up lying
>Why hasn't the nature or characteristics of the hivemind already been fully revealed to us ?Yeah, that would make for a long lived show.
>hello I'm here to inspect your lesbian marriage yes. Just here to make sure it's all up to code yes
>>215929861Plurbs would just send another over
I'm thinking this one isn't for me bros. I don't mind a slow burn character study but when that character is a constantly bitchy frigid dyke I'm not interested. Call me an incel or whatever I just don't think its good television.
>>215934532Filtered
>>215929608Peter Gould thought "you know what would be funny? if the cold open was set in a Norwegian ice hotel" and devoted entire scene to that pun
>>215932753I wonder how that worked out. Some animals depend on humans to survive.
>>215934532Great, see you in the next thread
>>215934577It's not a pun, it's a metaphor for their cold marriage
>watch the first episode>find the sight of women standing in a trance spasming weirdly hotUh... new fetish unlocked?
>>215934602that sounds incredibly retarded, especially since it was Helen, the happy and vibrant person who brought them there.
>>215928685This whole thing has been disappointing as fuck so far.
>i need to peenot beating the omorashi allegations
>>215934725women don't pee in real life though
>>215933809>wall of text seething about plebbitor not understanding the showMost intelligent /tv/ poster. Carol is literally (you) - given infinite power and still can't stop being a miserable cunt shitposting on 4chan about how bad his life is. The hivemind is just the universe trying to give you free shit and you sperg out because it doesn't come on YOUR terms. The show is a character study about autism. You got filtered. Stay mad.
>>215933840One episode is just a 45-minute montage of day 0 (or whenever it spawned initially) shot in one take like 1917 as it follows the spread of the virus
>>215933809Are you autistic?
>>215929804I want to go everywhere on a human rolling wave, I'd sit at the top on a dinner chair and the mass of humans underneath would act like tank treads.
>>215934532Her being a frigid cunt would be interesting if she at least interacted with the hivemind.
Really liked this episode reminded me of the comfy early BCS episodes
NEW: >>215934916NEW: >>215934916
>>215929804If it happens same time in the show then I'd likely sleep through it and have no way of knowing about it until I go online
Where do the Plurbs sleep, do they just stack themselves up in a room? Do they have breeding pools or some kind of efficient system to make sure only the best pairings fuck?
>>215929285Yeah i was thinking the same thing, the Paraguayan guy is obviously one of them, maybe the African guy too if he gets bored of mindless fucking. I don't really care about any of the other retards they showedI'm guessing somehow someone will splinter off of the hivemind at some point too
