How was 4chan like just as the hivemind started to spread?

BRAVO VINCE!

Why is she still surprised that they give her everything she wants after everything she has witnessed? What a pointless episode.

so this show is just basically about one white woman having an american moment?

>>215949354

Asking the real questions

>>215949354
As much as I want to be against batch releases, I'd forgotten how agonizing it was waiting for BrBa and BCS every week only for it to be a coin flip over whether it would be a "people doing menial tasks for 15 minutes while funny music plays" episode.
Vince you fucker

At least in BCS the "nothing happens" episodes were still interesting because each time you learned something new about the characters. This whole episode was just a repeat of information we already knew.

I'm expecting some big sci-fi twist. Like the hive has some deep dark secret or plan

>>215949385
The surprise is they'll do it even if it's something that obviously will cause the gestalt consciousness sizable harm.
Previous things like plane trips, sex, food, booze are irrelevant to the group consciousness.
Highly destructive weaponry are not. And bringing it up even made the gestalt consciousness flinch, whereas before requests were met with an instant "sure".

>>215949493
nothing you haven't seen already, but the cinematography is pretty kino.

>>215949562
I'm willing to bet the season finale final moment they'll show the timer thing but it will again start counting backwards, then next season it'll be all "oh what is it counting to"

>>215949493
So far it's alright, but I expect it won't deliver on its premise.

The number 13 is most likely linked to a different anthropologist's work: William Boyd's 1958 classification. Boyd proposed a classification of humanity into six groups, which were further subdivided into a total of thirteen races based on blood groups.
Boyd's thirteen races were:
European Group:
Early European
Lapps
North-west Europeans
Eastern and Central Europeans
Mediterraneans
African Group:
6. The African races (excluding North Africans)
Asiatic Group:
7. Asiatic races (specific names not detailed in search results)
American Indian Group:
8. American Indians (specific names not detailed in search results)
Pacific Group:
9. Indonesian race
10. Melanesian race
11. Polynesian race
Australian Group:
12. Australian aborigines
13. One additional, unspecified "Asiatic group"

just binged all 3 eps.
ill be good faith and assume since its so early into the story there are some hidden facts that build up to all of this making sense.
but with what we are given right now. my biggest problem with the show is that i dont really know what stance are the writers taking?
>Carol is the only real human being! look at all these sheep npc enjoying their new godlike status! what dumbfucks! cant they see??? a real life is suffering 9 to 5 in a shitty job and barely surviving or even better, living in a 3rd world shit hole while dirt poor. that is worth fighting for!! what horror is it to be able to get everything you want whenever you want!
or
>the situation is kinda fucked long term and its normal to feel shock and disgust. but Carol is clearly being an unreasonable bitch about it. any normal human being would enjoy the situation to a good extent.
i really am not sure because there is evidence they think of both stances. on one hand there is the opening scene with the ice hotel where its very clear the point is that Carol cannot relax and be easy for the life of her, she is a very unpleasant person intentionally.
but also with the composition of some scenes and the music and everything. how the hive mind is an allegory to AI. with it knowing too much about you, too agreeable, all knowing being. and Hollywood writers are way too dumb when it comes to "le AI is pure evil!!!"

point is, if it was me. i would fuck around as king of the world for a decade or two. then join the hivemind probably. otherwise if i decide to cure the hivemind virus. through basic logic, ill be the most horrible person on the planet and directly responsible for every horrific thing humans do from coming back to how things were.

if nothing is gonna happen it can't just be carol and chatGPT, way more interesting characters need to be present for that shit to work

>>215949385
Its very revealing if you can infer things. It reveals that the Plurb is not human or linked human minds as it claims because it does not understand sarcasm. The episode also revealed that they are diverting power from anything unnecessary, and centralizing resources, which could mean they need the power and people in one place for some reason. Pretty big implications.

>>215949642
>4-5 european groups
>1 african and asian group
that is certainly a decision

first for loli harem

>>215949562
You mean the big alien virus thingy that took over the planet has some ulterior motive? How is that a twist? An actual twist would be if it actually was trying to help humanity, like in The 4400

>>215949493

Why does the hivemind keep speaking to Carol in unison knowing full well it freaks her out? Shits dumb

>>215949156
This show doesn't really feel like Vince.
I have been rewatching BCS and BB and there are very little Vince stuff

>>215949255
>People can't shitpost anymore because everyone knows each other's intentions
Grim

I don't get why the Hivemind delivered all that food to the grocery store. They're all about efficiency and they dumped way more food than Carol could ever use. I get that maybe they wanted to give her options to choose from but they didn't need to load so many. They could have brought like 2 bags of onions 2 bunches of bananas etc

>>215949793
They're stylin on that ho

>>215949793
Hive-chan is autistic please understand

>>215949844

>>215949684
I think it is still collective humanity. Not all cultures and languages use sarcasm which is why it flagged it but wasn't sure.

>>215949844
she did specifically ask for her spruce (or whatever the store name is) back
does not make the scene less unnecessary though
the writer/director just thought it would be cool
which sure it was kind of cool but it is not cool that it takes time that could have been better spent on other scenes in this fukken drip-feed 10 episodes every 2 years slop

>>215949684
>It reveals that the Plurb is not human or linked human minds as it claims because it does not understand sarcasm.
Yeah. Have you missed the parts where they acted nothing like a human in the first 2 episodes?
>The episode also revealed that they are diverting power from anything unnecessary, and centralizing resources, which could mean they need the power and people in one place for some reason.
Everybody who is not a media illiterate reatard knew already that they were going to do something with the combined resources of humanity, not just sit at home and jerk off.

>>215949856
Do you think Autistic people became "normal" once they joined the hivemind?

>>215949720
So far the hive is being presented as only positive, the other immunes see no problem with it and Carol is the exception as a generally negative person that is being a bitch to it when its only trying to be helpful. Despite 10% of the world's population dying, thats just an unfortunate accident. I'm not sure what they are going for. Are we supposed to be horrified at the situation much like Carol, or are we supposed to feel like she is being unreasonable. So I can't really decide what their direction would be with a "twist", if it turns out its doing something terrible or they are actually going that direction of saying that "no really it actually is good" and Carol learns to accept it.

so what happens when the hivemind figures out how to turn the immune? Will they drop the friendly act and force them to join?

>>215949844
they don't care about efficiency when it comes to pleasing her, speedwatcher

>>215949899
Well then rather than revealing it, it confirms it if you already thought that. There can be no doubt that this is an inhuman creature with an agenda beyond what it reveals to Carol openly.

The real twist will be when there is no ulterior motive and the Hivemind really does just want the best for humanity but Carol can't deal with it because she refuses to be happy

>>215949668
>look at all these sheep npc enjoying their new godlike status! what dumbfucks!
That's just the african coomer, the rest deluded themselves into thinking the body being puppeted by the hivemind is actually their family.
Or if you're talking about the hivemind, it's clear they're not really just "psychic linked humans" by their values
>with it knowing too much about you, too agreeable, all knowing being. and Hollywood writers are way too dumb when it comes to "le AI is pure evil!!!"
It's only like AI in a very superficial way, chatGPT and the like are far different from it if you actually know about AI.
Doubt it's an AI allegory, or at least intentional one.

>>215949793
the same way it somehow doesnt understand the best possible thing to tell her at any given moment and how it takes several episodes for it to leave her alone somewhat proper. while being comprised from the all therapists on the planet and the smartest minds alive.

>>215949493
They don't know how it ends, so don't bother getting invested in anything. The longer you spend trying to figure it out and theorize, the more disappointed you're going to be when they inevitably fumble the ending.
>Open ended "there is no right answer" bullshit
>A completely nonsensical twist to stick it to all the Redditor theories

>>215950023
>if you actually know about AI
You're assuming the writers know about AI to the same level as yourself. It could be a badly wirtten AI allegory. Like any media that references video games or virtual reality, its usually retarded in some way if you actually know about them.

>hivemind is very much about preservation/anti-killing/etc
>provides, without any reservations, an explosive device that has no purpose other than injure/kill/destroy to the immune

These threads are just stupid people trying and failing to find plot holes over and over.

>>215949562
1. it's an alien pathogen designed to make slave labour. the aliens will arrive soon and earth becomes a giant plantation
2. it's a rogue pathogen that has been going around the universe infecting different worlds like the flu. the aliens that sent it to earth were infected themselves. humanity will soon build a giant satellite too to infect other planets
3. aliens saw how fucked up humanity was and specifically designed a pathogen to fix us before we posed a threat to them

But I honestly don't think the origin of the signal will be relevant in this series. This isn't going to be about aliens. Maybe the true nature of the infection will be revealed to be more malicious than it now seems

Carol is going to cave and make her handler adopt the persona of Helen

>>215949562
I bet the hive is glued to beings from other planets too. They probably possess knowledge that we on earth don't have.
I'd be positively surprised if their goal wasn't to make a giant transmitter.
Those are the reveals I predict.
If I was Carol I'd ask but she doesn't because she's a miserable cunt.

>>215950139
Why did they full restock the entire store with perishables when they could have just put a small selection of everything for one person. For example there was an entire tower of bananas. That is much more than one person would be able to use before it went off. They could have just put a couple of bunches in case she wanted some bananas and replace them each day with fresh ones.

>>215949493

If the plot twist (hint: Kim will show it) foreshadowed by Marco in this BCS scene pays off it could be certified kino

>>215949156
Fuck you all you stupid hiveminders I like Carol.

>>215950198
because it wouldnt be the same, she wanted her store back the way it was before. presumably the hive is still required to eat. they just consolidated to better distribution centers. they can still goto this store and get food. probably all the "local" they need to support carol will go there for their food instead of wherever they took the rest

>>215950165
yeah one of these 3 but if that's why you're watching you're in for a bad time

>>215949321
In fact, speedwatchers should just skip life entirely and go straight to the morgue.

>>215949668
>i dont really know what stance are the writers taking?
iirc Gilligan said he's not gonna take a side but let the audience debate. They're basically plaing devils advocate in the writers room to make the hive as appealing as possible.
Oh and if I was in that world I'd ask them to research immortality. That knowledge already exists somewhat. The Chinese have been able to de-age a chimp by 7 years.

If something only has tangential connections, and is wrong in some comparisons, to the point it would be a very dogshit allegory I'd sooner assume it isn't unless the man himself says it was meant to be.

Carol isn't smart enough to think that way.

>I'd be positively surprised if their goal wasn't to make a giant transmitter.
it would be so disappointing if this was the twist and not just a small sideplot

it would be an ok twist in a short-film that started with the first episode opening and then ended with them sending a signal out in space fade to black
it would be extremely offensive to viewers to do it in the last episode of a 9-episode slow setup

>>215950377
yeah I started every line with it would be deal with it

Endgoal is they implement brain chips and biological implants and this is the origin of the Borg Collective

>>215950328
These types of fuckers generally just want everyone ELSE to be equal and living in ze pods while they themselves get to be the elite rulers while the hivemind just mind melts everyone together into the human equivalent of an ant hive. Maybe he'd love it while thinking he'd get to be one of the immunes.

This show perfectly depicts what it's like to argue with brainwashed communists. It's a bresh of freath air.

>>215950424
ok carol

You guys are missing the subtleties of Carol's character. She actually WANTS to be part of the hivemind, but in her mind it's like "of course my life is so shitty that i'm left out of this happy existence that everyone is experiencing, having to endure all this pain while the rest of the world is in bliss". It's literally like Connor in season 4 of Angel

>>215950332
>he's not gonna take a side but let the audience debate
>the audience are debating the moral implicationss of fucking pluribussy

>>215950436
Wasn't that actually more like Fred when she saw ze bugs?

I don't understand why the hivemind cares about the immune individuals. just let them die out, in a few decades they'll all be gone.

>>215950424
except these brainwashed communists literally have anything and everything they could ever want

>>215950435
Nice retort, you ant colony motherfucker.

They want to make Carol happy and they can't so no they don't have everything they want. Also it was involuntary. Much like real life collectivization. You're a numbnuts, comrade.

>>215950165
1 and 3 are unlikely. 600 lightyears means the aliens would have been watching us in the year 800 or earlier. We weren't doing anything unusual back then. Nukes could have the trigger but that happened too recently.

>>215950494
Ohhh okay. Wow I barely remember Conner in that storyline. It's been like a decade since I saw that show though.

>>215950481
Except for individual existence. "You" literally cease to exist when you are joined

>>215950538
I don't think anyone is 100% immune to brainwashing really. Maybe like full-blown retards with 60 IQs. Most of what I remember with Conner is he was creepy towards Cordelia maybe? That and he grew up in the Hell Dimension. That really was a good season with the same "Everybody Happy" story type thing.

>>215950544
Ever hear of allegory? Fucking communist brainwashed retard. I said it's LIKE what it's like to argue with people like you. It's a comparison. It's what I am taking away from my interpretation of this show. If they're so happy why do they have seizures when someone yells at them?

How does the hivemind reproduce
Surely it must practice a form of eugenics

>>215950377
Lol the main plot is about Carol which is even worse. The transmitter plot, while lame, would be an improvement. Would be cool to see how they locate other planets that could contain life.

Are animals also part of the hivemind?

>>215950165
continuing from the 'aliens are irrelevant' idea:

if becoming "joined" is like being saved from drowning, you'd assume they'd try their best to save animals too. maybe them releasing the zoo animals but not bothering to put them back into their proper ecosystem will become relevant later. the series might end with the entire planet becoming joined together and that's what humans are plotting right now while they also try to fix carol. they said they were working around the clock to find a cure, which may extend towards the rest of the animal kingdom as well

>>215950774
You're a joke. She wanted the sprouts restocked, they do what she wants. The point of it was to show that it was actaully even more people serving her by doing that than it would be to just get a meal delivered every day, ie she is reliant on them either way unless she becomes a hunter/gatherer. And the idea that she thinks she is independent and self-reliant by going to the supermarket, not realising how many other people that involves.

You stole my comment from the other thread you son of basterd bitch

Realistically, given the premise of the show, I think it would practice eugenics, at least ensuring health through dna analysis since they have the knowledge and equipment to do so. Their only moral principle so far is don't harm things. And given their love of efficiency, I imagine they'd select breeders in a sort of industrialized assembly line of fucking. Idk
