>>215839277Premise matters I guess.This show just doesn't have an interesting enough one for me to want to start watching it.
>>215840403>>215840482It's got trannies in it? I know her gf is manly looking but I didn't expect a tranny plot.
>>215841134no, you're replying to an indian who's upset that Vince didn't pay the pajeet shill tax
>>215841089It'd work as a mini series but 2 seasons with the potential of extension means there's no real plan or resolution in mind. It's a pretty thin premise to extend over multiple seasons.
how hot will the carol zosia sex scene be
>>215841160this ain't going for more than 2 seasons if it doesn't have merchandisable scrimblos
Here's that new fucking LOST
>nooo I have a legion of fans who love my novel starring a man whom I secretly based off of my lesbian wife ahhhh I'm literally going insane
>>215839277Why is everyone shilling this lame shit. I dont feel like watching Vince slop again
I heard someone say kim is a bad actor and they might be right
>>215840855E Pluribus Anus
>>215841288It was more that's he can't carry a show as the main star, which is pretty accurate.
>>215840270No it introduces more characters and the horror deepens.
>>215841089I gave the first episode 15 minutes to win me over, and I've watched both episodes. It is the best sci fi series of 2025, which is an extremely low bar, to be certain.
>>215841160The fact that it Apple+ is another huge flag, but it is interesting so far. I'm ready for it to become awful at any moment.
>>215840436When Carol asked the hivemind how it works and it answered>we don’t know, it just worksI clapped.
>>215841522>It is the best sci fi series of 2025This is bait to start an argument about Alien Earth
is that..? a Plumbus?!AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH IM FREAKING OUT
>>215841633Alien Earth was awful from moment it was revealed it wasn't really on a part of Earth that mattered, and it only got worse. This show is actually building around the Twilight Zone Body Snatcher premise with moderate competance.
I don’t care about lesbians and their problems.I shan’t be watching.
>>215841563that whole scene felt surreal almost like a Neil Breen movie but with a budget kek>I want to speak to the president>he's dead. they're all dead. I've killed all the politicians
>>215841134No, trans people no longer exist in show’s universe unless one of the independent people we didn’t see happens to be one
>>215841488It's fine, but the hivemind logic about no killing is antithetical to how humans live. It's either an oversight or the hive is hiding something. Either way, I think we all want a survivalist character to treat them like the zombie husk meatsacks that they are, but sadly, it's not Evil Dead so it can't be fun.
>>215841896It makes the hivemind seem more alien. They have an imperative to assimilate through unstoppable altruism, which is not how humans work at all. They are an alien hivemind that lovebombs sentient species into submission. It's a fun premise.
see 8 billion people dissolve the illusion of being separate selves“ah yes, this is just a bigger guy now”“or maybe they’re a hive villain secretly plotting something”unable to comprehend “self boundary was a hallucination”think everything must be a person with motives because that’s the only model I’ve got“If we choose one of you over another, we’d hurt ourselves”me: “WHY WON’T THEY PICK A SIDE THAT’S SUSPICIOUS”wasp flies byme: “lol they’re weird bug cultists”still using brain that thinks ‘I’ is a real thing in a skullcannot compute, must be evil collective mega-person.
>>215839277Including the lesbian shit was fucking regarded, could do without the woke stuff
>>215841972I agree but if the hive doesn't start killing animals and insects they'll run out of food reserves within a decade, and everyone will starve. I get that it's alien and weird, but contrary to what it says, it doesn't really seem to want humans to survive very long. I wonder what its take on oil drilling and lithium mining are since it actively puts creatures in harms way/kills their habitats. Won't be able to fly around the world when oil reserves run dry.
First episode was good. Actually explaining the premise instead of doing endless 'oops nothing happens lol' episodes of mystery farming was a breath of fresh air. However the second episode is where it all went to shit, the other survivors being retarded brown third worlders was funny as fuck, but seeing as Vince is a libshit, he definitely did not mean for it to be funny and them being retarded was just awful writing. Also, out of all personalities types to pick for your main character, agressively cunty lesbian may be one of the worst possible choices.
>>215842193It makes it funnier when she verbally attacks the coomer guy.
>>215842237Just because the author doesn't get how racist he is, doesn't mean that we can't enjoy racist humor, retard. Just enjoy third worlders being depicted as the retards they are, retard.
>>215842224Presumably, the hivemind is no longer fucking like rabbits and shitting up the planet with extra mouths to feed, so the population will be completely managable within a few decades. They have absorbed the understanding of every race realist, eugenicist, and social planner so they already know this.
>>215842237She is an alcoholic who grieving the loss of her life partner. Sure it could have been 80's era Stallone, but that would be an entirely different show.
>>215839277iz breddy gud
>>215841972>Vince adapts Human Domestication Project
>>215842376what the fuck. I was just checking the thread for that on /trash/
>>215842312>not fucking like rabbitsexcept for that French mandingo fella>understanding of every race realist, eugenicist, and social plannerI don't think the hive can entertain those thoughts but it should
is it vincegem or mysterboxcoal
>>215841288kim?
>>215842052mate you're having a stroke
>>215842699I hadn't thought about the mandingo creampieing all those beauty pageant contestants. I wonder if this will be addressed in 9 months time, since the hivemind can't abort.
>>215842193It's a good choice. A normal woman would want babies and a man would fuck every woman. I know i would.
I like Indian Katt Williams
>>215842789>can't abortuh that doesn't count sweetie
>>215842743it's agingvincecoalI think he's just too old. The humour just falls flat
>>215842917if you can't kill a bug then how are you going to kill a fetus
>>215839277it insists upon itself
>>215843125just a clump of cells chud. they can't even photosynthesize or pollinate, much less eat up food crops or contaminate water sources.
>>215841683>make a show that sounds like plumbus>make the plot similar to the unity episodeWhat did Vince mean by this?
>>215839277It's shit. You can stop shilling it, thanks.
It's really tonally weird. It has that slapstick visual style Bravo Vince had in BrBa and BCS but this time the concept of the show is existential on a global scale so I don't find the hijinks appropriate. Especially since he takes it very seriously one second and then it's some visual gag or funny line the next.Having said that if it was humorless it would likely be an automatic dud, since it otherwise seems dreadfully boring and stock.Basically the only way the show can be salvaged is to lean into some bizarre twists and turns, but looks like it's just going to be Carol outraged by the lemmingness of everyone over and over.
>>215842237The only retard is Carol.>No you can't just enjoy peace on Earth! We have to go back to war and discrimination and taxes and jews!
>>215843301That's the big hope, that there is more to this than what episode two leads on.
>>215839277I’m so brainrotted I thought of this meme when they namedropped Finnegan’s Wake.
>hey anon, what was that about liking milf feet?
>>215843306except this "peace on earth" spells extinction for humanity. millions of years struggling to survive on this godforsaken rock only for it to be snuffed out in a single generation because an alien podcast brainwashed us to be pussies.
>>215843364fucking kek
>>215839277Rhea can't carry the showshe needs a comedy man to even her serious temper
>>215843432She's alright as an actress. Problem is that the "oh wow can't believe this hivemind what the fuck people please snap out of it" [rolls eyes] routine is getting old. I really don't see how they can make her character proactive instead of reactive. They have her under surveillance 24/7.All she can do is start Karen yelling and wipe out a few billy. Maybe if she keeps yelling she can kill all of them and then repopulate the planet with the black fella.
>>215843306>Carol's 11 million bodycount brought up to try and discredit her>When that's only a indication of how much of a liability the hivemind are when they can be that easily compromised>And as a bodycount that's brought about completely by accident, is still dwarfed by the far bigger bodycount of the hivemind had due to an action THEY KNEW would kill shitloads>None of the immunes point this outAll while naively thinking their family is still their family. No they're idiots.
>>215843476i ship her with the brunette hivemind girl let's hope Vince is brave enough to have the first uncensored scissoring scene on tv
>>215843476She’s probably too old to have kids plus she’s a lesbian. Forcing a lesbian to repopulate the planet is worse than having humanity go extinct. I’m pretty sure TLoU had a similar message as well.
>>215843489There's another way of looking at things.It is possible all the "survivors" are also a part of the hivemind and playing their parts because the hivemind needs to mindfuck Carol somehow. So it's all a game of pretend.Even the numbers of dead are impossible for Carol to confirm first-hand. The hivemind said X amount of people died, how would Carol know this is truthful? How would Carol know if there are any holdouts with more "survivors" It's impossible to tell.Legitimately anything the hivemind says, or any of the other survivors say is suspect since you can't independently confirm anything.
>>215843382
>>215843364That mention of Finnegan's Wake, the way they talked about how she was writing a more serious, sadder novel and the fact that when the hivemind experiences negative emotions it seizes up makes me think that at the end she's gonna save the world by making the hivemind read her stupid novel. Which would be the most retarded, shitlib midwit ending to any piece of media ever,
>>215843530Yeah if you want to fuck with Carol, telling her there are only a very few immunes like and then make it look like even they aren't on her side would be a way to do it.Carol is in a hopeless situation where so has no choice but to desperately trust what she is told is right. The biggest example of this was her trying to make sure the room on the plane wasn't bugged. And had no choice but to believe the word of the very thing she isn't trusting to not spy on her that it isn't.
>>215843605BRAVO VINCE
>>215843626what if all of this is an elaborate event 201 but from a cosmic entity to determine if earth is ready for higher existence
>>215843605Yeah you're right, there's a reason they made her a writer of slop instead of virtually any other job.
>last episode releases december 26yeah no. i'll start watching it if im alive by then
>>215843626>>215843720My take on it is that the way this alien society type works is the hive mind obeys the leaders, and Carol is a leader because the way the virus works is it ensures there are immune members that then control the rest of the population, who are extremely obedient. Aliens figured out this is the most efficient model of society and have exported it to Earth.Maybe the virus spares a control group of leaders, and then based on that first filtering the survivors then further get assimilated (since some of them might end up retarded npcs) so the one left standing is the "queen bee" of the entire planet.
>>215841633Alien Earth is straight garbage
>>215843476Trust the plan
I wonder if the hivemind would stop a suicide.
>>215843605>at the end she's gonna save the world by making the hivemind read her stupid novelIt should be the actress trying to genuinely read Finnegan's Wake. Anyone would cringe to death from that.
>>215843905None of the huvemind are capable of even thinking of an heroing. They wouldn't stop the immunies either if they're not willing to stop them from killing each other.
>>215843605>And at the end of the day, it was up to a WRITER to save humanity wielding the power of writing! t. writer
>>215843476Even the reviewers say there is a lot of repition in Carol's isolation beats until ep 5. I'm looking forward to the next one because it's written by Gordon Smith but the next 2 are gonna be a slog
There was that ominous line about the hive not being able to protect the immunes from each other, only for the immunes to be totally docile with no intent to harm each other. As if the hive is anticipating conflict but got a bad roll. It will work to turn them against each other, like it probably manufactured the conflict between the pervy Mauritanian and Carole
Final scene of the season will be Carol upsetting the hivemind again and again to try and kill them off.Also there's going to be a cringe LLM comparison to hiveminds.
>>215839277I haven't watched it yet but I need to ask those who have, are there shots at weird angles? Through glass? I need good reason to scream BRAVO VINCE at my TV
