>is the show actually any good?

no

It's aight.

maybe

Better call saul was such trash I'll never watch anything by him again

>>215833475
It's too early to tell. As far as the acting/ directing/ generally shit you know bravo vince is good for, he's still got it. But a lot of shows start off good and shit the bed and whether it'll shit the bed or not hinges on what it will do with it's premise.

>>215833475
The premise is interesting but theres a couple major plot holes already
>oh if you get super emotional it short circuits the hivemind and makes them seize for ten minutes
>except at the very start when you were pulling them off your dead girlfriend
>despite the hivemind having the collective of human knowledge and ability and the ability to use it through anyone part of it it doesn't seem to include any sort of psychology and continues to push an emotionally unstable and distraught white woman towards these freakouts
I'm expecting the seizure thing to be the hivemind putting on a show trying to guilt trip her and use her being against it to turn the other regular people against her otherwise that shit doesn't make sense

Feels like syfy/cw slop in both story and quality. Not sure where that 15+ million budget per episode is going

>>215833475
This is a retarded question, pluribus has nothing to do with Breaking Bad.

>>215833475
It's long-form television without direction which precludes it being good. Long-form is already trash 90+% of the time but Vince coming out and saying that he doesn't have any sort of plan for where the story is going and that he wants to keep it running for as long as possible guarantees this is a huge waste.

my gf says its the best show she watched this year so yeah its really good

I like it so far and I like how they got the most obvious stuff out of the way right away. The world gets taken over within the first 30 minutes and she meets the other survivors within two episodes. No mystery box BS so far, though >>215833845 makes me worry a bit.

gonna rewatch the first 2 eps before the next one comes out (its that good)

>>215833640
It's really fitting that a technology that's supposed to create a utopia ends up being the easiest way to kill humanity. Even if they had no independent humans left over, would civilisation degrade because the mere act of maintaining it results in unwanted deaths? Back to living without electricity because all forms of energy generation require damage to the environment? Farming is out of the question. You kill countless insects and rodents in the process. So now billions will die from disease, starvation, heatstroke or hypothermia? A species can't survive if everyone is shackled to the sensibilities of a 5 year old.

Part of the reason I'm on the fence about this show is not trusting how vince will plan to handle answering the lasting consequences of this type of utopia, like, humanity needs to have children to continue, that means the hivemind will have to choose men to breed and women to get pregnant, but under what criteria? The best fitting, healthy, intelligent? that'd be very problematic for the writers of this show, then again, they talked about how proud they were of releasing zoo animals, even though in reality, that will almost 100% guarantee them dying because those animals can't survive in the wild anymore
>>215833640
yes, carol has no real reason to believe what the hivemind says is real, the other 'survivors' could also be pretending for all we know, everything she's been experimenting could be a giant simulation to study why the invasion didn't work on her
>>215833845
he had to say he has more or less a general idea where to take it, depending on how much rhea want to continue, but to me that sounds like bullshit made up to drive away the annoying redditors who will try to predict the plot.

i have a question is saying bcs is bad just bait to get (You)s?

>>215834489
We don't even know what the point of the technology is yet, it's basically turned humanity into one big hippie anthill, but I wouldn't call it a utopia necessarily. They bring up a point in the second episode about how they no longer kill animals, and even would mourn a bug if they accidentally stepped on it at the dinner scene. Survival may not even be the point of it, just creating a population of placid slaves that "fix" everything humanity has done to the planet, good and bad and slowly dying out so that the source of the signal can come in and take the planet for their own.
The biggest thing that rubbed me the wrong way though is that the TV message to Carol explicitly brought up "fixing" her. If that's not a red flag that they shouldn't be trusted I don't know what is

>>215834892
bcs is bad. its a breaking bad fanservice cashgrab

Great first episode.
As it goes on I think it'll be hard to judge on an episode to episode basis, that's mostly just fun for if you wanna talk and theorize.
It seems promising but I don't think it can be good for 4 seasons.

>>215835102
if we're to believe it's all fake, their plan could be to introduce her to a group of retarded fake survivors, so that she loses hope of a rebellion or any possible solution and has to start accepting them, which is what's happening at the end of the episode, carol is 'rescuing' pirate lady from pervert president.

>>215833475

Getting infected doesn't seem all that bad desu

I like how the show is essentially a Faustian tale
The world gets destroyed, but only the White Woman takes it upon herself to fix it, the non-infected non-whites are incapable of thinking grander than themselves

Having thought about it, I want us all to be a hivemind. I want to feel your thoughts and memories.

Its well made but after the reveal what is there to show or tell? Its old even during the first episode.

So if Carol just spergs out she could eventually kill all of them if she wanted, and the hivemind cant do shit about it but let her mass murder them all.

Seems retarded to just outright reveal yourself to the last few humans on earth.
The dudes that didnt show up will probably have to come kill her later to stop her.

So what Trolley Problem will Carol force it to make a decision on? She's got to force individuality on the hivemind.

>>215835102
well statistically 5 out of 6 people are probably retards, so that checks out.

i honestly dont think its a hivemind, i think the virus is just some sort of ''programming'' that turns people into subservient thralls and forces them to spread the programming, this is why they don't have any form of self-preservation and why they cant ''manipulate'' people beyond giving them anything they ask for

>>215835614

>>215833475
AppleTV has zero advertising.

>>215835932
They are networked and can do anything humanity knew how to do, but they dont have any drive beyond spreading the virus, this is why they dont use psychology/grooming to manipulate the remaining humans despite the fact that they should be magnitudes smarter than anyone else or imprison them until they get assimilated, etc. This is all speculation we dont have enough information yet

>>215833475
>Lesbian main character

At want point do so many red flags become just a red sky. Do you really need to see more of this to know how bad it's going to be? They never START with the gay race bullshit, it always comes later.

>>215833475
I liked the first two episodes but they need to pick up the pace. After finding out Vince intends the show to AT LEAST four seasons, I think I’m out already. BB had a perfect length but BCS meandered.

Is this supposed to be AI critic or what

>>215836048
explicitly so. vince has even said that.

the cuck shit at the end made me drop it, was interesting until that point
the hivemind chosing to gobble some idians dude dick so as not to upset him over trying to appease the lady that has actively shown unhinged signs resulting in deaths makes no sense.
The hivemind should want to keep carol stable so as to prevent millions from dying, yet they chose to cuck her right away

>>215835987
When she speaks out it's because she gets pushed.
She's not in a great space mentally to begin with, and already has all the reason in the world to dislike the hovering. Her completely losing her shit repeatedly is way more believable then the hivemind repeatedly deciding to bring up topics that send her into hysterics. You dont have to be a genius to understand that telling someone who just watched their closest loved one seize to death a day prior "actually she thought it was super fucking cool to be brought into the hivemind as the blood vessels in her brain ruptured and now we know all of your intimate secrets too!" Is an awful fucking idea. Hell even severely autistic people can probably understand its not a good thing

>>215833475
A show based on a gimmick just doesn't combine well with pretentiousness. Like the first ten minutes of the second episode, complete mismatch in genre. Vince should know better but he is letting his pompous self image get the better of him.

It's absolute garbage. It's been a while since I've seen a show so devoid of any merit. It's not even worth getting mad over. I think that 1 month long movie about transcontinental shipping would be more stimulating than sitting through an episode of this.

>>215836135
IMO we cannot say yet if they are manipulating the remaining humans by using their families, the hot models with the greasy guy or straight up gaslighting about feeling wonderful inside the hivemind or if they are being truthful and genuinely think being assimilated is the most ''good'' they can do for them

>alternatively they will use one of the characters we met that are not in hivemind as an ally to her and they are actually in the hivemind all along
>whilst she's not controlled they are all linked to her since she has the virus hence the seizures
>because of the link she's creating a breakout where the individuals of the hivemind are trying to break free whenever she spergs out about it

it's going to be up to Carol to stop it herself. They already said they can't do anything to stop the unaffected from hurting each other. it's WAY more interesting for this to be true. She already feels bad about killing so many people, they don't need to trick her
>oh if you get super emotional it short circuits the hivemind and makes them seize for ten minutes
the end of the second episode disproves this, she had a mini freakout and the french dude told her it wasn't good for them, and she stopped. did you even watch the fucking episode?
jesus christ your education system failed you, or youre just a retard. not sure which is worse

We didn't actually see ALL of the survivors (forgot the name used in the show) they said there was 14 but they could only see 5 English speakers right now. What there could be is super cool guest stars (we just know ONE has to be Bryan Cranston!).

It will be like LOST when we were all trying to figure out (if you are a mega oldfag) who the Tailies are maybe her quest becomes using the actual survivors that aren't traitors to save the world.

>>215836519
They aren't enemies of hers they are just normies that she is trying to save because its part of her character, like she believes in freedom to be an asshole and these people are now SLAVES.

>>215833475
I don't like her loud obnoxious character. Episode 2 was more of a comedy with quirky characters. At least they hinted a bit how weird the super rape gooner guy actually behaves. I hope the end isn't just her making everyone uncomfortable until they snap all out of it. All this time and she never ever asked stuff about whatever, like who killed JFK or other stuff.

>Everyone in the world is happy except for the 40 year old childless dyke

>all the 70iq third worlders go along with it and hope to be assimilated themselves
bravo vince

The big problem is where is the show going to go. At the moment it seems like it has a concept more than it has a story. It feels like a mystery box show but there isn't a box. Is it just going to be a show of "look how smart I am" base level philosophy?


>>215837168
The pod people won but instead of it being an alien intelligence, everyone is connected to everyone, sharing their entire knowledge and everyone is happy and benevolent towards the few non-pod people

>>215837309
>everyone
Her only loved one was her friend she buried.

since they've released 2 episodes at once, I've expected a hook at the end of the second ep. like something powerful happens after 2 hours of (sort of) serenity.
instead kim went to save that cute pirate lady from the negro
bleh

>>215837307
Indian dude??

Calling it now, the unaffected people are all basically psychic pylons who are enabling the hive mind. They're being waited on because they're fucked if they don't keep them safe. At some point they're going to figure out a way to imprison the unaffected people without the psychic backlash from emotions killing them and will start hunting them.

I wonder, can you take one, get it away from everyone else and stick them into a faraday box/bunker?
They have to be sharing brainwaves in one way or another, surely it can be prevented.

>>215837416
the hook is that strong emotion, especially anger, overwhelms the hivemind and kills some of the infected. Very similar to the STOS episode where Spock is infected by a flower and Kirk finds that strong emotion negates it.

>>215837467
The guy with AF1 and a haram.

>>215837529
>kills some of the infected
I assumed the deaths were due to say planes falling down because the pilot was offline, not that it directly kills them

>>215837359
>The big problem is where is the show going to go. At the moment it seems like it has a concept more than it has a story.

Are you retarded? The hive mind will begin constructing a huge radio transmitter to beam the signal to a new planet and spread the virus, Carol will have to decide whether or not to stop them, whether she wants to remain bitter and cynical yet real, or to give in to the hive mind fantasy and finally be happy.

this crap is gonna end up like Three Body Problem, with the signal senders landing here and easily conquering the infected. It already rips off Invasion of the Bodysnatchers and a few other series.

>tv people talking directly to her
>kids in her neighborhood help her get in her house
>drones she cant see following her everywhere
>if ANY single hiveperson sees her, they all do
oh but we're supposed to take it 100% seriously that they had total privacy on AF1 because the hive girl said "we turned off the cameras, pinky promise :)"

>>215837558
There won't be any aliens. you misunderstood the premise of the show. It's about the spread of viruses and by extension, the spread of ideas.

>>215837555
Why should the audience care if they do that? There are probably countless other worlds beaming and receiving the signal and it seems like the psychic signals don't travel far enough for there to be any benefit in doing it.

>>215837555
>give in to the hive mind fantasy and finally be happy.
I don't think that is whats happening. I think they are being taken over and ridden by the virus. "They" are not happy, the virus is happy. THe hivemenid is the virus, using the people and all their knowledge.

fucking hell it's a show about Scientology.

>>215837548
>>215837529
Yeah thats hwy deaths are happening, because they are seizing in the middle of doing something like driving or flying

what if you gave a hivvie DMT and put it into an sensory deprivation tank?
these are the questions the show should answer

>>215837709
what if hivemind could provide you with a 8 year old Natalie Portman dressed as Hermione
these are the questions the show should answer

>>215837168
they foreshadowed it.
the show is her unfinished book. its all imaginary.

>>215837416
you dont know why she's stopping the plane, honestly
it could be the pirate lady, or she's got more of a longgame in her mind
her only chance to save humanity is through these other unaffacted people. she needs to connect to them on their level

The hivemind seems a bit retarded.
Is it concerned at all for self preservation?
Obviously the easiest answer is to kill the immune, but okay sure lets buy that they want to study them to make the virus stronger.
They could easily mitigate Carol's tantrums by firstly not provoking her, and secondly anytime she is communicating with the hivemind humanity could stop collectivly doing dangerous shit.
Like why dont they pull over at the side of the road and wait until Carol stops talking to someone 5000 miles away. The fact 14 million died from humans being afk for just a few minutes seems like a massive amount.

>>215837662
This reminds me of a Brian Aldiss story, which wasn't a hivemind but it was the idea the the frontal lobe was actually some kind of intelligent symbiotic parastic creature that attached itself to primitive humans and it is the higher thinking we have while our "real" primitive self is overridden

>>215836516
>you're stupidity
Anon, I...

>>215837627
>Why should the audience care if they do that?
Because the virus is presented as a bad thing?

>>215836847
What the fuck are you talking about?

anons I'll be honest with you
I'd probably hold for like 2 minutes before asking the pirate lady to tickle my balls and then going on some kind of drug/rape rampage

>>215833989
>implying thats a high bar to pass

eat poopoo

>>215837843
through carol's mind, sure
the other survivors seemed okay with it. hell, they want to be infected too.
the premise is interesting because they other unaffected people are more accepting of the virus than Carol is.

Didn't only the one girl want to be infected? The Indian woman had her "family" to keep her complacent, they kept captain rape happy by giving him sex dolls, and the other ones I don't remember getting much time.
The only thing Carol had that kept her happy the virus took away from her, but they're trying to do the same with the pirate woman, it's just not working as well because she's kind of a bitch who's still (rightfully) upset about losing her girlfriend/wife

Pretty weak ass hivemind, no way this is just "humans psychically linked", the virus is clearly doing some fuckery

I would never get infected
just built different

>>215837469
I think this might be it, and also why the hivemind can't kill anything. They're affected not by just the negative emotions of the non-infected, but by their own negative emotions should they try to take anything's life. I also hope Vince covers the far reaching consequences of not killing anything like what >>215834489 said. Stopping all animal butchery and fishing will drastically reduce the sustainability of the entire human population for one.

>>215837751
I wonder, the hivemind is probably a-ok with pederasty, isn't it?
No child on earth is a child anymore.

Wherever the hivemind RNA originated from will have motivations not too dissimilar from the combine of HL2. The hivemind will also attempt to make another signal to spread it even further, until every living organism in the universe has been absorbed into one.

> I was fucking joking that they'll end up being faggots and non whites..
> ended up being right
are the writers are jewish or something?

Are the hivemind controlled humans going to continue to have sex with each other and procreate? Is their goal to continue humanity and grow the hivemind, or is it something actually sinister?
Are they going to build a continent spanning radio transmission tower like it was implied in the first episode at the start? The radio astronomers said that whoever broadcast the signal to Earth would have had to use a transmitter the size of Africa or larger and it would be powered in the gigawatt range and would need to be aimed exactly where the signal needs to be transmitted, the total energy generation for humanity is in the terawatt range so this could be achievable.

But this would also mean the virus / hivemind would have to discover a new target to beam the virus to, and the virus seemed to be specifically targeted at humanity. Even if they did find a new target to beam it to, it would take perhaps centuries depending on the distance in light years that they were beaming the signal to in order for the next target to receive and decipher it. Would the hivemind just die off once they accomplished the goal, built the transmitter and then send the signal, or what is their purpose once they achieve that? If the goal is to just spread the virus around (dark forest) to kill any rival civilizations before they are a threat to whatever entity / alien civilization sent it to them it would make sense for them to kill off all of humanity.

This means the reason that the uninfected are an issue is that the virus needs to be modified so that doesn't happen the next time they send the signal to a new planet or else whoever they nuke with the signal might survive.

Anyways I can't wait to learn more about what is happening in the rest of the world in this show and what the hivemind is actually up to, it's certainly an interesting premise and I hope they have an interesting story laid out. The weakest part of the show is the characters thus far just aren't very interesting.

I can't take a premise like this seriously anymore after spending years on 4chan. It's so rare to just find any sort of comfy or pleasant discussion. The amount of threads where you just have one fucking schizo that completely wreaks havoc and is a total mentally ill menace. Those are supposed to be the free thinkers that we admire?

Its morality and behaviour is non-human. It is not an amalgamtion of all the humans minds peacefully working together, its something over-riding them with its own agenda and access to their memories

First two episodes are kind of lame. I can't imagine what they can do with the unlikable characters and weird premise. But VG must have something in mind. I didn't like the first episodes of Breaking Bad either, but then it became one my favorite shows of all time, so I guess I'll give it a chance.
On the other hand, it has signs of being pozzed already. I get the impression it will be cringe and preachy undertones against capitalism, whiteness, maleness, AI, etc. but then if you noootice it bots will insist you lack media literacy. Girlboss will be boring and annoying but then bots will insist you have to like her because she's morally superior, she's in a rough situation, or else your knees are soggy.

The Turkish cover of Nobody Told Me by John Lennon at the end of episode 2 is a bop.

I can't see how it could go any other direction except ultimately some way of releasing individual people with a "cure" and they can become normal again. I think it will be that they are not really a happy commune but the individual's consciousnees is being overwritten / subdued by the virus itself being the hivemind using people as vessels. Possibly even some who are released might resent it and want to return, that kind of shit.

so they released, onto the street, lions, bears, giraffes, cobras, etc
multiple maulings (and more) occur
so what? there's just a pride of lions in chicago now? mauling and eating humans as they feel like it?
not to mention the many animals that would simply starve outside of their natural habitat
even though they have the sum knowledge of all zoologists on earth, access to all the infrastructure including animal transport and release
and no reason to believe the animals would be threatened in their natural habitat

Still wakes the deep had the most interesting take on a hive mind for me

Everything from the humans to the deep sea creatures are “linked” but still retain they’re consciousness, so they are instead bombarded with the senses and stimuli of every thing trapped in the amalgamation and are driven into insane rage

>>215839223
animals raised in captivity can't just be dumped into the wild, they have never learned the skills to forage for themselves or protect themselves from predation. it's as irresponsible as abandoning a pet dog in a forest or a goldfish into a lake, it's going to starve or be eaten

I did like the infected people's take on animals though. People have become so blinded to the great spectrum of animal life outside the narrow bandwidth in which we conduct human civilization. There is a harmony that we have lost.

>very first person who got infected immediately started infecting others, despite no one else being in the hivemind
Why?

>>215839122
But that's boring and retarded. At least the stated premise of all of humanity genuinely becoming a hivemind entity is somewhat original, even if the execution is still kind of retarded. If the writers are smart they can use this to demonstrate that what most people watching might commonly think of as a "utopia" (no conflict, everyone agrees on what is "good" and always does that, etc) is actually stupid as fuck, but I don't have faith in that outcome.

>>215839360

I don't see how it can be a pure human hivemind, like >>215839324 says, its something else. How could all people joining and becoming one all agree on everything, how would differing opinions be reconciled? Unless the writers just didn't think about that themselves, to me it seems like it would only become like that if there was something with its own set of values already, overwriting what humans think.

no, that's not responsible either. why couldn't they just look after them in the zoo, they could even build a bigger better zoo if they wanted to. I'm just saying they can't be dumped in the wild if they were raised in captivity either. Or maybe they control the animals too (since it worked on the rat in the beginning)?

the animal testing lab at the beginning of the film sickened me deeply.

ok, so while the viewers know it's aliums, she doesn't actually know this because she didn't see this
all she has is hivemind lies, or truth, she has no way to tell
to her, the hive and the other non-infected, could all be lying for whatever reason at all
the non-infected are utterly retarded and subhuman (and brown lol) for taking anything the hive says at face value

the options are
1) friendly aliens like childshood end psychic bullshit (you need psychic for hiveminding)
2) evil aliens killing humanity (since they're retarded pacifists now)
3) its all a dream/heaven/insert more mystery boxes here

It's obviously not JUST making them a hivemind based on the fact that it appears to have hard-programmed directives like not being able to cause harm and wanting to spread to everyone else, but even if it was just a hivemind link, at the point that every person on earth has a single mixed consciousness, the people they used to be cease to exist, they're dead.

My assumption is that the point of the show will not be for Kim to "get out of this" at all, but instead be an attempt to explore what a society like this would actually be like, with Kim as a stand-in for the viewer experiencing it.

Now I could be totally wrong, and even if I'm not the chances they actually execute that well are pretty low, but I really don't think this is supposed to be some kind of mystery that the characters "solve".

That's the dumbest part about the premise, if they're actually all one consciousness now they have no reason to do anything, and even if we just accept that they just want to go on with life as normal but in perfect harmony (retarded) there'd be no reason for them to not just commit mass suicide down to an optimal manageable population level first thing since all their memories are preserved within the collective and the individuals supposedly don't matter.

So throw in a bunch of stuff that COULD be foreshadowing of something later when they think of it. Thats what I would do.

How did the aliens or entity or even if it was just another hivemind that was enslaved by the virus know how to send a signal to Earth?
The first radio signal ever sent on Earth was in 1895. These early radio signals would be very weak too, but at best our signals could only have traveled just a little over 130 lightyears.

The only thing I can think of is if the other planet that sent the signal had people searching for other planets with habitable life before, and Earth was a planet that they detected, calculated we were in the habitable zone, calculated that we were the right mass, had some kind of spectral analysis that led them to see there was liquid water in the atmosphere, and that meant Earth became a primary target to beam the signal to.

I think it would be interesting if the signal is just replicating itself out into space uncontrolled, either it was an accident or some weapon that was created by a civilization millennia ago, and has been spreading throughout the galaxy as each new planet detects the signal and if they're capable to discover it manufacture the virus and then it takes over the sentient life on the planet, and then its goal is to create another signal that it can beam off to another likely planet. Maybe most of the planets the signal reach are dead or don't have sentient life on it and Earth was just one that happened to, and the virus just keeps spreading out of control this way wiping out whatever civilization it comes into contact without even needing to start a war leaving the planet without sentient life so that they are no longer a threat to whatever civilization sent out the signal.

such a fantastic picture, thanks for posting this, I might fire up space engine and zone out

Small dumb particles please understand
Besides the most successful viruses are the ones that don't kill the host. The common Flu is easily the world's most effective virus because it basically doesn't and reproduces like a motherfucker, Meanwhile Ebola fucking sucks arse.

>white person discovers that non-whites are even more bug-like than the actual hive consciousness
what did they mean by this

Creators struck gold with the concept and it is shot very well
Too early to say if it will be good or not. If it is just lots of mystery boxes like severance then i'll be very disappointed. If it gets /x/ pilled then it has potential to be the best of the decade

>why would your first thought be to take care of the couple remaining holdovers?
Because the holdovers can go buck wild and kill billions of you at once if they get angry

do you guys think there are far more people uninfected than the hivemind is telling them? only having 12 people globally is an insanely high percentage considering the massive amount of genetic diversity in almost 8 billion people globally. Unless the virus was meant to kill people that couldn't be assimilated, and did when it first was spread around the globe though many people also just died in accidents.
what I really want to know is what the overall purpose and goal of the hivemind collective is. Do they have a plan, or is it just to create a utopian society in general? Can they learn and continue to develop science and technology to advance humanity as a collective?

I've been using 4chan for nearly 20 years, possibly longer than you have been alive.

To add: they can't kill animals and insects, but they can kill plants and fungi? Why the distinction? Surely, the Earth's meat supplies would run out pretty quickly, feeding 6 billion people on a fixed amount. What happens after that? Also, they got awfully lucky that one of the 13 or so immunies isn't a psycho hunting/raping the hive for sport because they wouldn't be able to stop him.
