Yes, Sprouts is real and it's kino. But it can be expensive and they don't carry most mainstream brands. Practically everything is labeled "organic" and is some privately owned obscure indie brand you have never heard of. Upper middle class single white women swear by it. Also every employee looks like a Starbucks barista, no exceptions.

Realistically, you do have to try and take advantage of the plurb somehow, provided you weren't off-the-grid pre-infection. You're guerilla fighting an enemy that has roughly 99.999% of all human knowledge. Assuming your goal is somehow removing the virus from humanity, you should be pushing it as hard as you can.

holy shit what a boring nothingburger of an episode

I got PTSD flashbacks of “The Fly” in the opening ice hotel scene, was grateful when it ended. But still ended up being a boring as shit filler episode anyone.

>urm just because the plot didn’t advance this episode doesn’t mean the things that happened won’t have impact later on the plot!!!
holy shit, the hive will do anything Carol asks?? holy fuck the implications!! that reminds me of episode 1 and 2, where we learned the hive will do anything you ask

>>215938857
It fliched when it got to the atom bomb, I think thats relevant

>>215938791
Yes

>>215938791
No because every scene isn't from Carols POV. That tired cliche would make sense and be super predictable if it was all from Carol's POV. But the entire cold open from the premiere had nothing to do on with Carol. Then they show the pirate girl flying all the way from Bumfuckistan in a C130. The shit going down is real.

>>215938857
It seems the entire point of the episode was to establish Carol had her (presumably immune) eggs frozen.

>>215938872
It seems like there was a discussion going on in his head the entire time.

>>215938872
OWAH ATOM BOMB?? they’ll give her an atom bomb??? this is almost too much to learn in 60 minutes, I can’t fit all of this in my brain. where will I make space for what I learned in episode 1 and 2–that the hive will give you whatever you asks for, even the nuclear football.

They thought that didn't work, it probably didn't since Koumba didn't want a nuke.

>>215938857
> “The Fly”

Literally the most overrated episode in the history of television that only gets attention because of it's kino title. If the episode had been titled "squeaky clean" nobody would care and it would be one of the lowest rated episodes.

I don't care if the show goes completely off the rails. I love Rhea and I will watch anything she's in. She's a great actress and even more hotter than she was when she was young, and she was a smokeshow then.

oops, posted in the seethe thread by mistake.

I was thinking it just doesn't add up for Vince to make a series about the triumph of individualism (capitalism) over collective good will but what if it's just more of a general "toxic positivity" thing? that would also line up in opposition to Carol's cantankerous but practical persona.

The trick is to not give a shit about discussing it with others on 4chan and other places and just wait for all episodes of a season to come out and binge it.

Im making a pact with myself after this season to never give a shit about discussing a show ever again until Its all out already

people here were wondering how are they going to stretch this for several seasons, well that's how, by having carol not learning important information, either by writing her as dumb or reluctant to learn, and instead spending time doing character drama, it's like From all over again.

>>215939434
walt did nothing wrong

>>215939423

I'm all about posting about weekly shows.

He just did that because he was gay, it's wasn't even a hivemind thing.

I'm not buying the whole nice hivemind act, maybe I'm just coping because I want this story to have a clear line between good surviving humans vs an evil alien threat, I'd really hate if after like 4 seasons, this show just ends with a shitty theme of 'actually, a perfect utopia is possible and coexisting is necessary'.

>>215939616
>I want this story to have a clear line between good surviving humans vs an evil alien threat
Brainlet.

>>215939501
There is still some individual differentiation around physiological state, that's why they don't collectively orgasm or get drunk. Maybe their lower-order neurology makes them more prone to unconscious smiling and expressions of joy.

I don't get how this disease thing is dormant then suddenly everyone infects at the same time

Carol is probably the most unlikable character in all of fiction.

>>215939693
try watching the show without distractions. otherwise need to up your iq

I like this show so far but they never really explained what all these big disk things from the first video were. Is this how the hivemind broadcasts its psychic waves to everyone? If so, why are they already built before the scientists make the virus? Seems like a bit of a plothole.

I'm only on episode 2 and I heard episode 3 is a filler, anyone else think Vince is hack enough to do a POV episode with the french nigger portraying him as not a rapist at all? like he never had sex with any of the pluribus?

i must have missed it but why is carol such a raging cunt like what is her actual problem

>>215939765
Since the plurbs have a power imbalance to his detriment, the french guy is actually the one who is being raped.

It's a commentary on AI. It's erasing individuality, something that is mindlessly accepted by old people and delusional people in developing countries, and the arguments against it fall flat because they're being made by an annoying privileged artist and a schizo.

I could probably resist the hivemind virus through sheer force of will.

chat do I understand it correctly that the pirate lady's bare ass can be seen in the beginning of episode 2? Please confirm so I can fap knowing that. Thanks.

ending of the show would be the pluribus finding a cure for the virus and they give it to carol, carol says her goodbye to her pluribus companion in an emotional moment because she grew attached to them, months after curing everyone she meets zosia in an airport but she doesn't really know carol, they go their separate ways and they look back at each other one final time, fade to black.

>>215939911
yes

The reveal will be that the virus, after assimilating all intelligence on the planet, expands by converting all the resources on the planet into a transmitter to spread the virus to new planets, killing the host planet and all life on it in the process.

>>215939901
My mind is already an amalgam of 11 different macro-psyches each with DID. The Pluribus would just be another ant in the colony.

kim kardassian pretending to be a lawyer on a ryan murphy show is much worse, rhea at least is a real actress and, despite her character being written to be a depressed bitch, offers more vulnerability that still makes you want to watch her story

>they're gonna get the party guy's cum and make babies with her eggs therefore raping her

>>215939920
how does this make sense? there is no guarantee after transmission of the signal that anyone receives it
the virus could potentially do this, shot its load so to speak, die and then never be recreated again effectively ending its existence permanently.

I like this show because I imagine myself in the setting
I hate how she hasn't asked how fast it think or does any cognitive testing
I hope they get into that

>>215939911
I believe that's her ass yes, you can see the silhouette of it and its the same shape when she was wearing that yellow pants of hers in the episode.

i mean you can transmit a signal to reproduce but it would be foolish to kill yourself and your planet in the process. Instead keep the people alive, well alive enough, to just keep transmitting until the sun burns out.
The hive would have no other purpose but to run the transmitters indefinitely, no reason to die.

I do think that they'll appear with her children at one point in order to manipulate her after she starts fighting against them in some way.

I wish Carol had pushed them on not killing anything. How far does that go? They have to kill some organisms when they sterilize food, for example. Bacteria, multicellular organisms like tapeworm, tardigrades, etc.

>>215940058
The power of the transmitters fries their brains or they just devote so much to it that it they all die from starvation or something. Some viruses kill the host.

>>215939693
They put chemicals in the water that made the fucking frogs gay

>>215940109
Why sterilize food? It's not like they care if a few humans die from food poisoning. Besides, the hivemind members can survive just fine off of a diet of basedbean gruel.

I understand that but given the vastness of space and the slim possibility of infecting another planet I think it would be a sub-optimal strategy for survival of the virus.
the best and most prolific viruses don't kill their host but do maximize their ability to replicate

when carol offered pirate lady something to drink, I thought that was going to be the beginning of a plan, to start 'experimenting' on what the hivemind can and won't do, like getting her drunk just to see what happens, but the whole granade thing really ruined that and now has demoralized carol even more, to the point of making her feel like anything she does, she will ruin it, which is fine for drama and character development, but something else needs to start happening or people are going to start dumping this show

We already know about the Paraguay man who's another contrarian like Carol.

>>215941189
What do you think her (body's) backstory is?

>>215941741
sex slave for the mujahideen (and she loved it)

>>215941741
We have already seen her backstory.

>>215941782
We've seen 1 day, from AFTER she was absorbed.

are there any theories about the immunity yet?
i didn't notice any similarities between them or any particular actions Carol did during the big infection in episode 1 except maybe that she was drinking and smoking at the same time but that would be fucking retarded.

With three episodes dropping you can have filler episodes and not have it feel so unsatisfying. As long as at least one of the three is a major episode it's all good.

We need an AI movie of this where lemonade is spilling out from under her skirt

Carol is immune because that is how she wrote the story to be (this is all a novel she hasnt released) she also thinks all men are pigs so she needed a villain sex pest to hate.
She didnt want to come off as racist so there will be 1 person from every non white country surviving.

Why is she standing(sitting?) like that.

Why pay for such a pityful ass shot.
