Just going to give you a heads up. I watched this type of show over 5 times. This is what you are in for
>Season 1 - Amazing. Great world building. Ends on a cliff hanger you so badly want to see resolved. All the effort put into this show and all the best content, story and lore will be here because this is the season they use to sell the show to streaming services
>3 years later
>Season 2- "Dear lord why has the quality dropped so much?"
>"That cliff hanger resolution from the 1st season was so underwhelming and stupid"
>"Why are the characters acting so differently now?"
>"Holy shit this season's cliff hanger ending is even more dramatic than the last season"
Rinse and repeat till they get to the last season assuming the show doesn't get cancelled before that and it's still worse than the last and all the explanations will piss you off and come out of no where. You are watching the best the show will ever have to offer now. You will wait every 3 years for underwhelming new seasons after this.

>>215862293
It is

>>215862300
Just mystery box shows. Other shows actually have to try and not rely on a mystery they dangle like a carrot the entire life of the show

>>215862335

>>215862246

>>215862359

>>215862246
She’s already likable though

>>215862396
their motives are that they want to fully unite humanity
and they only lie when the truth hurts whoever hears it

cool concept and execution but I don't know how they get a series out of this, let alone a single season. I'm cautiously optmistic but this does give very similar vibes to Apple TV's other series Severance which I didn't even bother with the second season because I couldn't see them taking that interesting concept in a good direction.

Pluribus seems like it needs something more, they did foreshadow that Carol would not be protected from other normies so I think that is where the drama will come from. An impending threat of joining and an urgent threat and philosophical debate between the (uncharismatic) survivors.

>>215862439
this, the marketing was making her seem like some crazy femcel bitch or whatever but she's just a little sassy

>>215862447
I think they will add more and more unaffected people, maybe some of them will help carol, some will stop her because they don’t see the downside of the hivemind.

The show is not "reliant on some big mystery to chase". Figuring out the mystery is not the focus of the plot. The plot revolves around how the main character is dealing with the situation. Just because a show has some mystery elements it automatically doesn't make the genre a mystery box.
You have to be a media illiterate 3rd grader with how you are unable to grasp such a basic concept.

Because that's how it breeds. We're all here because we have a biological imperative to breed. The virus obviously values its spread more than it values conquest. Which makes sense because everyone every host it infects it gains their knowledge.

>>215863727

I think it needs to learn why they were immune so it can adapt. I think the hivemind will start building huge radio transmitters to start broadcasting the signal out again but this time with the updated genetic code to reduce the amount of beings who are immune it.

WE is a group

Look, I don't think you guys are grasping that it's really just a virus that seeks to spread itself.

1. Why did the rat infect the lab tech? Surely even a fleet of rats wouldn't have the higher brain function necessary to know to infect humans.
2. Why did the lady lab tech act different and infect the other lab tech when she only shared her psyche with some rats?
3. Why does it still seek to infect Carol when she has explicitly said she does not want to join?
4. Why didn't it spread through voluntary joining? (Carol actually asks this)

I see no reason, if it can communicate instantly metaphysically, why the hivemind is not also representing many other species that it's not telling Carol about. It is the top of the food chain on a galactical scale.

>>215864071
or the virus could have just been engineered to alter people's biology in a specific way and then die. it's possible none of the hivemind people are even infected with anything anymore. they were just changed permanently.

>>215861524
A zombie meatpuppet is not actually your dad.

I like the "Dark Forest" theory that whoever sent the signal isn't even the original aliens, but the virus is designed to spread around the entire galaxy to wipe out any sentient life intelligent enough to receive and decode the data in the signal and create the virus.
The civilization that send out the original signal might not even exist anymore, they could have died off millions or billions of years ago, but the virus just continues to spread because it causes each species that receives it to become a hivemind with one goal; build a new continent-spanning transmission apparatus using all the resources available on the planet and making that the entire focus / goal of the virus until they build it and create a power source powerful enough in the terawatts to transmit a signal to another planet.

Once they achieve that goal, and the transmission is sent to a new planet, the hivemind dies off and humans go extinct thus preventing them from developing interstellar travel and ever being a threat to the original civilization that created the virus. The process has been ongoing for millions or billions of years spreading throughout the milky way as each new sentient species is consumed by the virus and builds a new transmitter to send the virus to the next planet.

The goal of the hivemind on Earth right now is to stabilize the situation, make sure there's no more humans immune to the virus / force them to join the hivemind so that they can fix any kinks in the virus and refine it before its sent to the next destination. Maybe they need to wait to find a new planet to transmit to as well, so they need to build telescopes and find a new earth like planet with possible life.

The question is how did the planet that sent the signal to Earth 600 years ago (they said it was 600 light years away) find Earth and knew to target it?

It is possible that it doesn't procreate the host it infects, but not likely as that would reduce it's survivability. It's optimal survivability in that case would be to not spread so rapidly and to keep people like Carol alive for breeding purposes.

>The question is how did the planet that sent the signal to Earth 600 years ago (they said it was 600 light years away) find Earth and knew to target it?
It didn't, they say in the episode that its trajectory was drifting through space.

You will never be a woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.

Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

>>215863800
Wasn't the "do not redeem" meme from squid game?

I see a lot of people have already come to a very strong conclusion that the other "survivors" are traitors to mankind and Carol is the only sane person out of them. The certainty many people have with this idea surprised me a little bit, because I came out of the episodes with very different feelings.

When confronted with the fact that the other English-speaking individuals are more or less fine with the situation, she is completely dismantled. She reacts with contempt towards the "traitors" and speaks as if her perspective is the only one that has any basis in reality, that she's the only one with any sense. She stands at the end of a table with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" writ in large behind her as she shouts at a people of color about how their view of the world is wrong and that the world needs to be remade how she sees fit.

This, to me, seems a deliberate connection to American imperialism and the idea that American individualism (literally, individualism!) is an inherently more correct way of life than any other. Again, I think Carol has a very reasonable perspective and she's gone through a terrible lot, but I don't think at this point in the story it matters who's right or wrong yet, what matters is how Carol is completely shut off from even considering the other perspectives to what has happened, to the unimaginable positives in the world. Of course there are also plenty of negatives, existentially terrifying ones, but it's not like she's even trying to be objective. She's drinking her worries away and belittling a south Asian woman's child in front of her, because she doesn't see him as human anymore. She never asked the people in the hivemind how it feels. And again, she literally does not see them as human anymore. They are something lesser to her, obviously, she doesn't even need to justify that thought, it just makes sense. That's some scary rhetoric, no matter her justifications.

Anyone who doesn't see it as a takeover is a traitor. No consent was asked before being "joined". And even if they seemed to be happy once joined, well, some people physically can't help but enjoy rapre, doesn't mean they wanted it. Its changing people to be happy to be slaves, a similar idea to Brave new world.

Traveling to the International Space Station (ISS) can take anywhere from 6 to 48 hours, depending on the launch procedures and the station's position in orbit. Typically, astronauts aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft may dock with the ISS within about 6 hours after launch.

>>215865346
Isn’t it implied the seizures only occurred because they got found out by the military and had to mass-integrate people?

The central theme they seem to be going for is the question of whether its actually a bad thing - lose all individualism for peace on Earth and happiness, or individualism is better even if that means all the shit things that come with with it. But only a traitor to humanity or brainwashed bugperson could think its ok to happily accept being taken over by an alien hivemind, so that conflict is meaningless. Losing your "self" is unacceptable, no matter the reward. The Plurb must be destroyed.

>>215865698
I think the seizures are a natural part of it. When they had to rush it the people died due to being in unsafe situations, like flying or drining, or simply falling over because no one was there to hold them up while they converted them directly

I wonder if hivemind is subject to hallucinations in its internal workings in a similar way that a LLM is.

Answer: Because you know (or feel you know) their personality. That's a large part of what you're attracted to. They no longer have those. Every woman you fuck might look different, but you'd quickly find they're all exactly the same. This will happen to the brown guy in the show.

Might be fun watching Carol and the Hivemind find inventive ways to destroy each other working around their moral boundaries. The pacificism thing is a bit of a piss take, obviously the show would end if they could just kill Carol, I'm pretty sure they are going to try manipulating the others into killing her when she goes on the offensive.
She is also going to have some ridiculous moral dilemma that stops her from making the obvious move.

Can't wait for inevitable eugenics reveal and shift in 12 independent characters. Bodies at this point are just a resource. Once you're in the hive cloud body can be discarded. So all overly disabled bodies are heading for removal. Also there will be a breeding program for new bodies i suspect hive wants to have capable biomechs to further it goals.

Same principle here. She doesnt bother to consider what the hivemind actually is in principle. She just concludes its all batshit.

chud, the hivemind is the internet. it is pro white though.

>uhh dude you should just be on board with weird bullshit mentally (if not physically) snuffing almost the entirety of humanity because they’re now more productive or whatever
Ironically valuing the extrinsic value provided by a society over the actual quality of life of individuals in it is a consistent issue nowadays

2 episodes in it's not interesting enough.

I believe at some point it will be revealed to have sinister intentions and the white american is proved right to be suspicious of an alien virus taking over the whole world and telling you to just accept it and how wonderful it is to lose all individuality or sense of self.

It's crazy when you realize how many people are faceblind.

>could the (former) most tone-deaf motherfucker on earth suddenly start singing soprano?
just knowing isn't enough to do certain things, I may learn bodybuilder techniques perfectly, but since I don't have their actual physique, I won't be able to lift as much as they can, same thing probably applies to singing, it would still take training to get results

I am only faceblind for third worlders.

It’s so funny how it takes maybe 10 minutes of fully considering things to realize how existentially terrible the plurb is, not even regarding the crazy suspicious shit like them being super pacifists that won’t kill a fly or do anything to Carol despite her threatening to kill millions of them but deploying the virus en masse and knowingly killing nearly a billion people

Breaking Bad was brilliant as was Better Call Saul. This is dire and after the first episode I will not watch another one. A cross between a plague and a zombie film. Utter rubbish. It seems I have to add another 200 characters to describe how bad this is. It is really terrible. Do not waste any money subscribing to any channel.

I really hope Peter Bergman comes back in some way.
He could have been a good character actor outside of The Young and the Restless.
This is like his first role that wasn't Jack Abbott in 30 years.

>Whereas the others realised this is how things are
Most of them are just coping that the meat puppet controlled by a blended amalgamation of all humans beside them are still their relatives
Only exception is the black coomer guy who is just taking the chance to have fun with the hivemind

Immersion breaking that the poo didn't have famous baby jirls with him.

the hivemind doesn't need to keep the useless parts of the shared mind

>>215867014
I think some of them don't really get whats going on either, like the indian woman looked shocked when her kid was answering carol about the medical stuff
