Raban does look like a woman with a fake mustache on the book cover, how did those fangirls not notice?
>>
>>215841827
no - even if it was there are national differences which would cause significant cognitive dissonance within the hive in terms of morality. the hive doesn't care what the immunes are diddling. they don't even care if they're poisoning their bodies with excess alcohol. they're stalling for time before assimilation and no doubt they're preparing for whatever their primary goal is.

Vince said he wants it to go for 4 seasons so i am sure other stuff will happen. As soon as the hivemind converts the rest of the normal people the show ends
>>
>>215842341
umm acshully you'll find that they might just move to a vegan diet immediately because it's acshully much more beneficial to your mind and body and it also makes them good fucking people

It's a callback to when Carol mentioned her son was also her gynecologist, its snapping her out of her denial that's still her son

As much as you know. They lie and practice sins of omission. They'll have other things planned beyond full assborgers.
>>
>>215842341
Do you have any idea how much meat there is preserved in the world ? Canned meat in supermarkets, warehouses and distribution centers, that alone would last a small group of people millions of lifetimes, frozen fish on fishing boats it goes on and on, also not to mention, wild game populations will drastically increase.
>>
>>215842341
>them figuring out how to join you?
didn't the hive say that they were only months away from that?
For fresh meat you could simply move to somewhere where there's a lot of live game to hunt and kill them yourself and have that last for years
>>
>>215842341
Why would running out of meat happen exactly? There's 1 billion less people than before and everyone still does their jobs.
>>
>>215842387
This is true, but they are clearly an existential threat to the remaining uninfected, and and that is enough to know.

Zosia is one big scheme from the hivemind

Zosia looking one last time was a carefully calculated move to seduce Carol and trigger her into being a saviorfag. Look how jelly she is>>215841760
>>
>>215842245
They couldn't run her over because they can't knowingly harm humans. This show might be too advanced for your kind.
>>
>>215842417
They're not going to raise new animals for slaughter though, once the meat is gone or spoiled, that's it. I'm not even sure if they'd eat veggies. Eventually they might just create some shitty diet supplement for everyone to avoid killing anything

disagree - plenty more to know, what else are they doing offscreen and away from their goal of distracting the immunes until they complete human instrumentality project? what reproduction structures do they have? how do they handle attrition? what grander function does the hivemind serve beyond orange tanging the humans? how do they plan to integrate/isolate from the animal kingdom and natural predators? when will they show Kim's feet covered in a shiny, vicious liquid?

What if they didn't see her because they were on that ridiculously large and phallic airplane, possibly distracted by the Indian RAPIST and our brave heroine's tiny presence wasn't noticed. That would be unknowing harm and she might have died. She's literally the only thing left to save humanity and like they say: if you want a job done right, ask an experienced but cynical woman to do it!

Providing they've got sufficient strength to stand upright and walk, it's more than that. They've all got the knowledge, experience and mastery of parkour, ballet, gymnastics, capoeira, fuck it MMA, you name it. They can then articulate every move they're making, using manipulative linguistic techniques (Milton Model, etc) whilst studying your facial reactions to make accurate assessments on whether you're lying or what true feelings you're hiding.

I think that's the implication. They're going to start building a giant dish the size of Africa while trying to figure out how to assimilate the remaining 12 to ensure they don't mess up their plans or at least keep them happy and pacified so their outbursts don't give them any more seizures.

This sounds the most accurate. If reeeeing can cause a lot of them to die and they are unable to harm anyone, they're going to either assimilate them, keep them compliant or wait for them to naturally pass on before doing the giant dish or whatever.

Or it might just be some lazy outcome where the hivemind is meant to be like worker bees to some other race that will come for the planet once assimilation is complete and the communication has been sent off.

Interesting as that may be, it's obvious there is some build happening and I think the worker bee thing is the most likely outcome here. It would also explain why they can't harm, since it means they are unable to turn against their incoming masters.
>>
>>215843228
Ok but the hivemind idea doesn’t work. The largest group of life on earth is bugs , meaning 80% of the hivemind would have bug instincts.

Does the show explain the specific time lag between the first rat bite and total global infection? It seems like there wouuld still be pockets of uninfected humans. I might have missed a key detail in episode one.
>>
>>215843181
It was said that the release of lions caused some maulings, maybe the virus doesn't infect carnivores at all.

Thus far we've only seen it infect mammals, like humans and rats.
Being a mind virus it may be unable to infect invertebrates at all, being more specifically crafted or evolved for central nervous systems of vertebrate types. Or maybe even more specific and just mammals.

Zosia mentions at the lunch scene that they were infecting people individually for the first month, and then the military found out so they had to accelerate infection to infect everyone at once somehow.
>>
>>215843299
Yes, it regularly shows a counter before the "joining". The time lag between the rat bite and total global infection is about 30 days. In the final day, they use planes to cover the atmosphere with the virus.

The hivemind fixes literally every issue you have with nonwhites.
>>
>>215843285
The hivemind is additive, not an average of its parts. Otherwise it would be not that smart or skilled at anything, instead it's more like it has the skills of the entire human race.
>>
>>215843329
The hivemind is purposefully playing on Carol's romantic fantasy; she's rescuing her female character from fawning over some asshole dude, which she hates
>>
>>215843329
She was contemplating the unique personal decision she made which favoured one immune over another. She was struggling with the dissonance. She'll be made to make more decisions of that nature until Carol splits the hivemind. The next episode is called "Grenade" so I'm guessing there's an explosive Trolley Problem being lined up.

Ahhhhhhh right. It all clicks now. Thanks chemtrail fren

what worries me about this show is the lack of characters.

First, because 99.99999% of the population is hiveminded, none of them can be unique or interesting, they're all just the same person that talks with a different voice.

Second, because there are only 12 non hiveminded people, and the ones we've been introduced to so far are uninteresting. Annoying pajeeta, old asian guy, latin lady, old chinese woman and the only interesting character with any personality, the Eritrean dude.

Rhea is going to have to carry the entire burden of character development on this show unless they pivot and have far more uninfected people in the world somewhere.
>>
>>215843097
if the virus is in animals it means the alien is lying to the survivors when they claim they can't purposefully harm humans. The rat had to bite the hand of patient zero for the disease to spread.

the virus shit also includes a biological imperative to infect others

the hivemind knows everything everyone alive knows, so the only people that aren't infected would have to be known by basically no one in the hivemind, so no living family, living like hermits and the atmospheric dumping of virus didn't impact those people, since most of the hermits around would still have been infected.

None of them seem to have had anywhere near as rough of a day one as Carol. And all of them have family. Accepting that the human race is now just meat puppets means accepting their family is gone even though they're right in front of them and probably acting normal not to alarm them. The show basically spells this out.

i mean it depends on how long the virus could stay in the atmosphere before decomposing and how isolated someone was.

Idk, with Breaking Bad and BCS the first episodes were immediately gripping, the dialogue and writing were clever and the visuals were very creative and striking. This just feels like SyFy channel tier slop. The cunty lesbian is gonna save the world with her 2deep5u novel, it's so gay and retarded, Also the writing is sooo bad. Having the other survivors be that cartoonishly stupid to the point of it coming accross as based racism is really telling.

BrBa and BCS had great pilots because they promised something big was going to happen down the line. In Pluribus, the big thing already happened in the pilot. And the rest of the series is the characters reacting to the event.
And the premise of a small group of survivors learning to live after the world ends has been done to death by now.

There will be an episode where Carol tries some plan to break the hive mind and instead of breaking it, it actually implants her personality in the hive mind and causes it to override everything else.

So by that lovely analogy you are implying the humans are all dead and they are basically just the hivemind with no trace of the individual occupant, ie if they were disconnected from the hivemind, that body would just drop to the floor as a corpse. So there is nothing there except the hivemind, which consents.

Some throwing some questions out there

1) the hive mind morality would surely seem to be that the ends justify the means (eg willing to kill 800k for assimilation). Why balk after at killing the remaining 12 outright? Or at the very least kill or detain Carol who’s causing them lots of damage?

2) is it possible some or all of the other “unassimilated” people besides Carol are actually part of the hive mind, possibly to demoralise Carol. Most of them just seem remarkably NPC like

3) Is Zosia acting more emotionally complex than others and may be still battling the virus? Which is why strong shows of emotion and aggression from Carol affects her really badly? Of course the hive mind would have capacity to be a manipulative genius, but just speculating


4) Would the assimilated procreate, or be capable of procreating? If so, for what end?

They didn't kill those people deliberately, and in their logic as long as those people "joined" in their death throes then they're not really dead.
>2)
I think they're all unassimilated, they're just accepting the situation because they have loved ones and can't accept that they're gone. That and the fact they don't see that they can even do anything about it.
>3)
It's not really clear yet how fuzzy the boundary is between individuals and the hive. I think that the hivemind can't handle negative emotions, it needs everyone to be placid and agreeable or the whole thing breaks down. They have hyperactive/psychic empathy to make this possible but it makes them vulnerable to outside negativity.
>4)
They will procreate just to keep the hivemind in existence, and they need humans to build the continent sized transmitter to send the signal to another planet.

If the hive wants a worker bee caste, why would it cut off the meat production that keeps the workers healthy? If it knows how the human body works, then it knows humans need meat as part of a balanced diet, and killing livestock is justified. Also, killing insects with pesticides to keep crops from getting overrun. And polluting areas for mines and mills and drills to keep transport going indefinitely and the workers working efficiently. What the hive is doing is against its own interests.
>>
>>215844704
We'll hopefully learn more about why they want to assimilate so badly, but my guess is a large part of the drive to assimilate is about acquiring the individual's unique thoughts and memories. They don't want to kill the immune because they want their minds. And why bother detaining them? The immune can't really do anything and even Carol's outbursts don't matter because the memories have already been distributed across the collective.

I think the Hivemind can't work if aggression or negative emotion is possible. It suppresses those aspect of the personality because negative emotion is like a seizure to it. It's a precondition to there even being a hivemind that they are incapable of violence, at least in a direct sense.

For the retards in the thread, the radio waves were broadcasting the information for how to build the mind control groupthink virus. Once the science nerds decoded it and built the virus, it spread via biological contagion, like HIV. Once a person is infected, they somehow know everything that every other person knows, possibly through biologically enabled telepathy, but not radio waves. Hope this helps.

so the aliens' plans for spreading their virus is entirely dependent on hoping some retard scientists immediately start trying to recreate the virus waves they heard from space

>so the aliens' plans
There's no alien plan. They're a hive mind themselves and are just broadcasting the signal into the universe hoping someone out there will create the virus.

There's going to be a hamfisted message about how humans are the only intelligent lifeforms the gorillion year old hivemind has come across that kill other living things to survive, isn't there?

In the movie Contact, the aliens send plans to build a spacecraft thru radio waves and the scientists immediately build it without knowing if it's dangerous or not. Could have been the plans for a bomb.

Catastrophism is the theory that human society is doomed to repeat itself in cycles of prosperity followed by total destruction. The only way to make the next leap, to becoming a spacefaring civilisation and beyond, is with help of ETs.

You'd be able to tell from the plans what it was, like ti would have seats and a steering wheel and shit

I read an article that said that primitive tribes functioned much like a "hivemind", maybe in a way more literal than we think too.
That is to say, this concept isnt new at all

In fact monotheistic religions like Christianity and Islam are hiveminds too.

That's not true, unless you're talking in some vague metaphorical sense.

Really doesn't matter that much to this story though. At some point somewhere someone made a virus that made everyon unite, then they built a big telescope and beamed it as us, thats where it starts. And probabyl they would want to do the same thing on earth and beam it somwhere else, thats just what it does. This kinda show is not so much about those details but how the characters deal with the situation.

Yes i do mean it in a metaphorical sense. The religions function as hiveminds. No god but allah. Only through christ. Us vs them etc

it is true, the only difference is the hivemind is enforced through cultural brainwashing rather than telepathic

Carol is currently hellbent on saving the world which means figuring out the origins of the virus in order to undo it.
I have no idea how you can be so certain its "not that kind of show"

Well the hivemind itself says "we dunno how it works, it just does". The setup is ridiculously presented as some pissant operation when it would be a massively secure facility in the middle of nowhere. Its basically saying "it doesn't really matter, the virus just got out ok"
Plus it just gives that vibe that it isn't interested in presenting technical explanations for how and why, its just about the concept itself, ie if everyone is happy whats so bad about it etc, no more killing no more bad stuff blah blah

I expect that they will pursue the idea of trying to "cure" it but that itself will be some other immune who's a general purpose scientist who says some le science mumbojumbo and wa la we got a cure or some shit. Its about the idea, how people cope with it, what it means to be part of it or out of it. I don't think we'll see a long history of how the aliens that created it came to be, like the three body problem VR sections for example.

We may not get to see full alien reveal where they come down on UFO and tell us their plans but we will at least come to know their intentions, specifically if its malevolent or benevolent
>>
>>215846432
>we will at least come to know their intentions, specifically if its malevolent or benevolent
I doubt it, the only thing they sent out was the signal. I think they were also under the effects of the virus and this is just how it spreads itself.
>>
>>215846517
Are they? That's a big assumption.

"Aliens did it" is the explanation, thats it.
