Carol naked in pool editionPrevious thread >>216574578
>>216576782It would make me very happy if someone edits the entire first season to a 90 minute movie.
>>216576782Apologize.
why do the Manusos parts feel like they came from a better show than the Carol parts
This show stinks more than Carol's stinky feet and the crevices between her sweaty toes
>>216576806There isn't 90 minutes of content though
Pluribussy
in case there's any doubt that the general population is retarded
Why is Vince Gilligan obsessed with Georgia Okeefe paintings? Both breaking bad and Pluribus has them as some notable moment. Why?I don’t even know what thematic meaning is to be taken from them given they’re just vagina references apparently
I wish I was in Carol's position for breast sucking related reasons
Rhea's feetsies are making me Seehorny
What would you ask from the hive mind?I think I’d have Dove Cameron sucking my cock, Emma Watson licking my ass, and getting Natalie Portman and Scarlett johansin pregnant Oh. And Rebecca Ferguson to do some mommy femdom roleplaying
>>216576831It's obtuse to say that they're "just" vagina paintings
>>216576818Fine. 60 minutes.
>>216576811For the same reason the Nacho parts were the best part of BCS.
>nothing happens! so boring!uuuhh it's a Vince Gilligan show. Nothing ever happened in Season 1 of Breaking Bad and Saul but they still ended up being some of the best tv shows in history. He makes slow burn type of content for the patient and intellectuals.
>>216576855Id ask the have mind to make me a 90 minute edit of Pluribus Season 1.
>>216576831>look at vagina painting>miss lesbian crushThat’s literally it. We’re officially in the wheel-spinning phase of the show, where the initial themes fall to the wayside and it becomes entirely plot-driven.
>>216575276Gotchu senpai>>216576847
i wonder how zosia smells like in that hug
>>216576856Not really. She was the first to do them, but that’s really all they are. Not saying they aren’t pretty.
He WILL have sex with Carol, and she will blame it on booze and say she’s totally not bisexual
>>216576811Vince actually had to leave the Albukeke set for once and put some effort into the planning. Come to think of it, every bad part of the series is in that closed set.
>>216576855I would ask if they can bring back my dead dogs. If they can't, they are worthless to me.
>>216576867Please be ironic Niggas out ther really be thinking that Vince is Abbas Kiarostami or something lmao
an incredible episode of FUCKING NOTHING
What is in the bottled water? Zosia tried to give it to Carol and the guy in the truck tried Manousos. They don't just care about hydration
>>216576829inflation hit everything, even imdb scores.
>>216576824Pluriboring
>>216576930if the Manousoss segment is nothing I suppose you might stop watching the show
>>216576931Ebolaids
>>216576829On reddit they're complaining that these scores are too low lolhttps://old.reddit.com/r/pluribustv/comments/1plk5av/imdb_notes_for_pluribus/>>216576861*worst
>>216576831because the museum is in New Mexico
>>216576782So if >>216572202 is true, is the seizure from Manny killing an other finally gonna kill the poojeet child?
>>216576831Because they're one of the few significant things in New Mexico I wish they'd set this somewhere else
Unironically is mano autistic? In particular the insistence on cutting his hair made him seem a slave to certain habits Also curious about his family. I swear we saw a pic of a wife and kid but he hardly seems to be worried about them
If you think anyone in this show is going to cure the virus or solve the issues, or defeat an enemy or something, then yes the show will be boring to you, unless it turns out some ultra-hyper schizo super genius, who built a bunker somewhere in america is working on a cure in pure secrecy who is not part of the main group, but considering the plurbs have advanced spying technology, and access to a majority of the population, i'm sure they have fully scoured the earth with everything they have and weeded out anyone like that by now.
>>216576867Walt and Jimmy both did things in their first episodes. They have expertise, a goal, a character flaw that also drives them, and relationships with various characters that are always changing dynamics. Carol is supposed to be a good writer with ambition, but that hasn't really come into play other than that scene with the whiteboard. She isn't researching or asking questions or learning the rules. There isn't a big cast of interesting characters, just a static plurb drip-feeding information.
>>216576956>>216576970next episode Carol raids GRRM's house to find out if he was planning on finishing ASOIAF
>>216576976>is mano autisticcould be why he's so based
>>216576950The Nacho scenes were the only ones with consistent forward progress. Vince is better at B-plots spoken in Spanish for some reason.
>>216576931There's no way the plurbs aren't spitting and pissing into all the food and drink they're giving the immunes
>>216577007No, those were always the most irrelevant and worthless parts of BCS
>>216576855i'd make them build a pyramid the size of conneticut with nothing but muscle power for quarrying and hauling the blocks and putting them together
Could a plurb infect a bodysnatched?
>>216576829There should be a hard drop to sub 6 for E2-E7. Btw fuck Vince.
>>216576987Agreed. I think vince fucked up writing this show.Would have worked much better as an ensemble cast. Each episode either having shared time between Carol and manousos and whoever else. Or alternating episodes dedicated to each character. (I’d say 3 different ones, 3 different perspectives on the infected)E.g.Carol hates it but also co-operates with them and interacts with themMano completely isolated from them and journeys alone with no helpSome elaborate scenes of diabete playing out his fantasies and role plays for funScenes where e Indian mom is trying to live her life as normal as possible. Most of her family is alive after all. And it gradually becomes harder and harder to pretend they’re still her son and husband and not a hivemind Instead we get endless shit of Carol ordering stuff from drones and the same answering machine message for episodes and episodes
The scene where Manousos watches the tape is so kino. You can literally see second by second the beam of hope reaching him and how the news chokes him up.Not gonna lie, it makes me tear up.
>>216577069>Would have worked much better as an ensemble cast.it probably was in the beginning and then Vince got obsessed with Rhea Seahorn and turned it into The Carol Show.
>>216576987>She isn't researching or asking questions or learning the rules.This kills the show. She can literally sit down and ask everything. She won't, because... uh, fuck them, or whatever. It was funny to see Diabate figured out the eating humans thing just by asking. Painfully obvious that they're stretching this out.
>>216576964>>216572202 the fuck do we believe this for
>>216576983The show is boring because there’s no clear plot.>We have to return the plurbs to normal!>But we don’t because it’s better this way.>Wait, the plurbs are eating people!>But no one cares lol>Ahh, I just want to return them to normal anyway.>Okay, how?>No fucking clue.The audience is as lost as the main character, which means there’s no tension. I really don’t think Vince thought past the first three episodes. He just assumed it’s come to him.
>>216576782notice they dont show this whore tits nothing, if it as a man they should show ass penis etc.
>>216576970I don't really get why Carol would stay in the ABQ anyway.There are way nicer places to live and nobody is going to stop you from taking over Bruges, New York, Venice, Paris, whatever.
>>216577132Vince isn't typically a nudity guy.The fact they showed hot girls ass and cleavage in the Vegas episode was unusual for him.
>>216577136Bruges? Bruges is a shithole.
>>216576360Damn I've been on the "first stage" for 8 years now then
it scares me to think that if any of the survivors are evil degenerates they’d be like a super Epstein.6 of the survivors are menAnd statistically, since 87% of sexual predators are men. That means one of the male survivors are predatorsWe have already seen Diabate and his depravity. I fear the other men are doing much much worse. The Chinese guy seemed shady The only male survivors i trust is Manousos
>>216577144Ep 1 of Breaking Bad has naked boobs all up in the window bouncing plastered all over after Jesse fell off the roof
>>216577132>ass penis
>>216577136Lesbians don't have good taste, they're not cosmopolitan like gay guys, Carol's ideal setting would probably be an even more rural area
>>21657715887% of convicted, dumbass. Statistics mean jack shit, you know how many things happen everyday and dont get reported. Yeah, they never make statistics.
>>216577173I was ready to post that webm.
I've binged the show over the past 24 hours - it started strong but then seemed to get stuck on a slow meandering path. I saw the reaction to the latest episode before watching it and I'm glad I did since it set my expectations and I actually enjoyed it because I understood the point of the episode.>>216577069ye this. I think it makes a lot of sense given the pace of the show being so slow along with the fact that there's other non-hivemind perspectives we could be following and their stories to be told. I think narratively it makes sense for Carol to turn and join the side of the hivemind, especially after the last episode - but her story could still have been just one of a few that intertwine and come together at the end.>>216576834me
>>216577171Sure. I get the appeal of Appalachia or whatever.I just dont' get the appeal of ABQ besides she used to live there.It's flat, ugly, hot, etc.>>216577149Fuck off Ray.
>>216577136>New YorkWhat would she even do in plurbed New York? The appeal is the nightlife which doesn't work without people. Unless she's a giga architecture nerd. I'd rather be warm in ABQ desu. Granted she could've gone to some touristy beach town on the West Coast instead.
>>216577132notice how that creep vince showed zosia and the random women on vegas naked but not her precious rheafucking simp
>>216577143Pluributton
>>216577018The Jimmy parts were irrelevant. No tension because you know he’s going to end up safe.
Anyone notice how clear the roads were during Manousos' journey?No overgrowth or anything.The hive wouldn't waste any of their time/energy maintaining this shit.
>>216577234Its been 12 days lil man
I fucking hope there's a partial cure developed by the end of the season. one of the best aspects of television is the ability to introduce new characters with new seasons and this show has like, hard-written rules minimizing the cast. Vince isn't a good storyteller but he and the crew write damn good characters and dialogue there needs to be a mechanism to bring new people in who aren't plurbs
Bravado, Vince.
>>216577255I think we've only seen 8 (?) of the survivors so far. They purposefully left a lot of them out of it for that reason I think.
I can’t tell if this is just a plot hole or proof the hive mind is lying>hive mind claims they can’t violate your consent to infect you>when their entire strategy early on was forcibly kissing people, and spraying the infection on the unconsenting publicHell. I’m not sure if this is reading too far into it either, but they SAID they are incapable of any violence or hurting anythjng living . To the point of not plucking fruit or killing animals or using needles But the rat was infected right? And he fucking bit the scientist to infect herHow about them rescuing manousos now? He’s going to need an IV drip. That will require harming him via a needle which he won’t consent to if he’s awake as he hates them, and he can’t consent to if he’s asleep Suspect he wakes up in tne Albuquerque hospital next episode and panics and escapes to meet Carol. Sees Zosia is now living with her and that Carol is now “with them”. And mano does something wild like killing zosiaMano HAS A PISTOL remember. They kept highlighting it so it will be used at some point
>>216577069Yeah, much of the focus on Carol comes out pretty flat. All this screentime is doing nothing to further an understanding of Carol. The depth and connection to her do not at all feel proportional to how much time the camera spends with her. It's repetitive.Now Manousos is the reverse, with significantly less screentime we're given a very effective communication of his conviction, his strength of character.Manousos' short speech to the plurbs is infinitely more characterizing, more engaging, than anything Carol has said or done.I'll also agree on the ensemble cast notion, I've found myself during episodes begging to see the other humans. The refusal to do so feels like stretching out trying to disguise itself as 'intellectual slowburn'.
why doesn't she just do heroine DOESNT MAKE SENSE
>>216577277>hive mind claims they can’t violate your consent to infect youThis never happened.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrIQLiB3HPI
>>216577277This has been discussed to death. They don't see plurbing as harm, therefore no consent needed. The rat was too dumb to follow their "rules".
>>216577276Sure but aren't they all completely ignorant to English? Not even ESLs like from Episode 2? guess the Zoom meetings could mean they're learning english maybe they could get around it but pretty much every european country the majority of people who aren't 50+ years old can speak english whites seem off the table
>>216577231>Saul was irrelevant on Better Call SaulWanna shit diarrhea into your mouth
>>216577277>if he’s awake as he hates them, and he can’t consent to if he’s asleepEmergency medical personnel do this shit all the time. Once you're unconscious (or if you're completely psychotic and going to harm yourself) there is an implicit assumption that all humans want to continue living and that saving your life overrides any need for consent.I think the hive would probably prefer that he died because he's a douche but their programming probably forces them to intervene to prevent death as much as it forces them to avoid killing.
>>216577343tl.dr
QUESTION how did the plurbs know Mano was definitely headed to Carol when he never talked to them once?they previously always asked to clarify stuff and weren’t that great at picking up nuance and reading between the lines. E.g. the austistic decision to give Carol a grenade and confusion on whether she wanted another one or notThey didn’t ask mano if he wanted to see Carol. Or inquire if that’s why he was travelling north. They knew for a fact he was going there. This seems weird and inconsistent with their previous inability to read between the lines with.a person they had extended communication with, but somehow they had absolute certainty on what mano was attempting despite him giving them nothing to support that idea
The plurbs most amoral charactersitcs is their lack of free will.What do they mean they "can't" kill? If they don't want to that's fine but to imply that they have 0 agency is what makes them actually evil.Therefore, plurb genocide is always gonna be justified.
>>216576855I would ask the hivemind to pretend they were the cast of Everyone Loves Raymond except I'm Ray but im not called Ray they call me by my real name so its like Everyone Loves Anon but not like recreate every episode, just for the hivemind and I go engage in family dynamic shenanigans and specifically ask the below to be the cast;>Antonia Gentry as my wife>John Cena as my brother>Jamie Lee Curtis as my mom>Danny DeVito as my Dad>Emma Myers as my brothers ugly girlfriend and eventual wife.And sprinkle three mixed kids for me and Antonia but they have to be good at sports
nothing happens then ends on a cliffhanger ahh show
>>216577358Consent doesn't matter if you're unconscious and it's a decision between living or dying.
>>216577277>hive mind claims they can’t violate your consent to infect youNo, it can't stick a huge fucking needle in your body because it counts as harming you in its fucked up hippie mind.
>>216577306His trip made me want to visit south america. Beautiful episode.
>>216577358Manouso's plan was ruined by not wearing a Do Not Resuscitate bracelet
>>216576782The plerbs are vaxded normies from us in the future/past to stop 8 billion people killing the planet for us in the future/pastIt's going to pull a simulator within a simulation ending your welcome bravo vince
>>216577380So you're saying it doesn't count as rape.
>The show doesn’t make sense because if it made Carol happy for them to act as they did before the joining wouldn’t they just do that? Problem solved.
>>216577409Yep
>>216577152The thing is it’s not actually a problem until your TV show needs momentum. That’s why this whole premise is flawed.
>tfw you learn there is a literal death forest that prevents America from being overrun by drug dealers and terroristswhy do we need a wall again
>>216576782She is so cute and perfect, bros...
>>216577438they have boats and mexico is north of panama
>>216577069Pretty much nailed it. I think Vince probably got some contract from Apple for multiple seasons so he’s happy to drag a one season story over 3 or 4 seasons and this is the result
The way this show makes chuds cry and seethe every week only heightens my enjoyment of it
>>216577338Probably French, they refuse to learn English because they're still seething it supplanted French as the international language.
>>216577277It seems like the plurb hive is just trying to exploit the weaknesses of each character.>Carolher ultimately unsatisfying life, loneliness, her grieving>ManoHis fucked up family situation (but he doesn't fall for it, because he doesn't give a SHIT)>CoombaHis turd-world fantasies of status, sex and power, even though there's no real people to see them.>The poojeetaYOU MADE MY SON CRY SAAR! Take a guess.>The other immunesWho cares but probably some variation on one of the above.An alternative explanation is that they are revealing their weaknesses to the plurbo by it simply giving them what they ask for (like a King Midas type thing). Anyway, I guess we'll find that out in Season 3 or 4.
>>216577365I think it's something in their biological-programming, put their by an alien culture that deliberately created the pluribus virus.I imagining something like this:>artificially produce biological bodies that will serve as host to the pluribus rna>perhaps, for one reason or another, this alien civilization is not in danger of a passive-takeover by the plurbs>you now have a workforce of artificial bodies that work in concert very well and are disinclined to harm othersit's a very rough idea i know
>>216577472>>216577069All of his shows start out this slow.And typically they stay this slow until their last two seasons where they suddenly ramp up the pace to the point where you wish it would slow down a bit.Example: The first 4 seasons of Breaking Bad only take place over a single year and the last season takes place over 2 years
This episode was actually good. Goes to show that “nothing happens” is only true if the episode is also visually uninteresting.
>>216577512>The first 4 seasons of Breaking Bad only take place over a single yearwe're really stretching what the word "slow" means now aren't we
>>216577128Plots like this would be way more fun if they took advantage of the situation.Basically yeah, you want to return humans back, but in the meantime, you mayswell basically be Stalin and create a utopia for humanity to return into. Solve Fusion energy, create a fully automated luxury planned economy, redesign global cities into beautiful traditionalist styles for the cultures, build mass housing and infrastructure, regreen the deserts, solve cancer etc.
>>216577192>along with the fact that there's other non-hivemind perspectives we could be following and their stories to be toldYou just wrote season 2 for them. Expect 8 and a half episodes showing how the Indian bitch makes her coffee and how Park Chan-Wook has a gambling addiction and 25 minutes of actual plot advancement.
>>216577518Nothing happened in the sense that there wasn't a big explosion or plot revelation or whatever.But they spent a lot of time showing just how strong Manousos is and how weak Carol is.My man travelled a continent in a piece of shit car and refused any assistance offered to him meanwhile Carol just gives up because she's bored.Everyone thinks they're going to team up but I think it's clear that /our guy/ would rather genocide The Hive than spend one more minute with them and that's going to be the major conflict in the final episode once he learns he can do exactly that from Carol.
>>216577568In this situation why would you want things back like they were before? I don't get it. As long as you can't get plurbed, who gives a SHIT.
>>216577193She was living there and she resists the plurbs so she doesn’t want to move so freely. It makes sense within the show. It didn’t need to be ABQ, though. That was just Vince hoping redditors would speculate as to some kind of Breaking Bad expanded omniverse.
>>216577571>25 minutes of actual plot advancement.you mean 5 min
>>216577485>His fucked up family situationWhere do people get this from? He just got mad that the plurbs are puppeteering his mother's body. He wasn't actually mad at his real mother.
>>216577618
>>216577608More like 5 seconds
>>216577368Hey look everyone, it's Pee-Pee Anon!!!
>>216577618>He wasn't actually mad at his real mother.He did call her a bitch, anon.
>>216577618Plus in this spanish context, he meant moreso that his mom was a badass bitch and not this soppy mopey nostalgia baiting farce he was talking to. He was showing a respect for her individuality that the plurb was unable to replicate. God damn I cant wait for a fanedit that removes all the carolfiller. Manousos is literally the only reason to watch
>>216577586>would rather genocide The HiveIf he wanted to kill them he wouldn't leave money and IOU notes for them in hopes they will turn back into regular humans
>>216577571I guess it would make sense. Season 1 sets up the antagonist in Carol and establishing the protagonist in Mano. Season 2 explores the rest of the gang's journeys to reach the point where they're done with the hive - S3 is the culmination.
>>216577669He doesn't fully comprehend the situation yet. He doesn't even know he could kill them all.
>>216577277I guess the idea is they weren’t a hive mind at that point. They needed some time for the collective unconscious to settle and consensus to kick in after infecting anyone.
the people who are mad about this episode are the retards who still think the whole aliens thing is important and their theories have meaningthis show is actually about the struggles of being a lesbian in current america
>>216577294You’re joking but the fact that she hasn’t just had a fucking orgy with a million people she finds hot is honestly a huge fucking plothole.
do they maintain all the infrastructure just for carol? gasoline has expiration date. pool has to be maintainedyadda yadda and so on
>>216577342The whole show was irrelevant. No one needed it.
>>216577764It has only been 2 weeks guys.If the show actually goes on long enough I expect the decay of critical infrastructure will actually become a plot point.
>>216577772I'm pretty sure the counter stated something around 48 days in the last episode
>>216577791Do you think they couldn't maintain the world for 48 days?
>>216577752This show is actually about AI and social media.
>>216577791What "infrastructure" did we see on day 48
This show could have been great, but it ended up just like The Last of Us, totally tanked by the terrible female lead. A different actress would have made it to be kino.
>>216577359The only explanation is that Vince has forgotten what the limits of collective consciousness are and thinks they’re literal mind-readers.
>>216577837IN THIS HOUSE RHEA SEEHORN IS A HERO. END OF STORY.
>>216577837>>216577872I just want my ugly gelfling back
>>216577837Not even close.
>>216576847at least post the webm
>>216577837I agree. If they ever kill off Zosia, I'm dropping the show. Seehorn is not good enough to carry it alone. Which actress would you replace her with?
>>216577379there's no cliffhanger though, iutard
If that answering machine message comes back in any way I will be angry
>>216577872
>>216577922Hey, Carol. Have you considered that job offer yet?
>>216577837>>216577914what about the same actress but when she was in her 20s and not 53
>>216577639FUCK YOU, YOU LITTLE SHITS IM GONNA KILL YOU, HIVEMIND DONT DRIVE AWAY FROM ME >:(
Would you have sex with a Plurb knowing your family members were in there somewhere?
>>216577995I had sex with my cousin when I was 13 so yeah I don't see it as an issue.
Why does Rhea Seehorn make such a convincing lesbian?
>>216578018method acting
>>216577837It should have been Claire Danes fretting over everything like in Homeland
Mutating plurbs next episode
>>216576782Is their picture where she no clothes?
My theory is that Manousos isn't just headed to NM for Carol, he's headed there for the very large array to disrupt the signal he found.
>>216577069You “people” really don’t understand the slow burn high quality writing.Maybe try watching some thing more your level like the walking dead
My theory is that Manousos is taking this opportunity to finally immigrate to the US
>>216577923Zosia's cute blue car is such a neat addition. I'm glad it's in the show.
Pluribus feels like it's heading toward House of the Dragon territory. /tv/ will be rooting for Manousos (Greens) while normalfags and redditors will be rooting for the Hive (Blacks). I can't wait for the articles about how um actually Manousos is the real villain for wanting to save the world. They'll paint him as a chud too for being a religious man, not stealing, and not giving in to vices.
>>216577231This but the opposite. You just knew every new character in the cartel world was gonna die (Nacho, Lalo)Complete waste of time.
>>216578078>You cannot give me anything because all that you have is stolenBased AF. What a great line.
>>216578078Pretty much everyone on the internet is anti-Hive, especially on reddit.Personally, I'd be 100% pro-hive and it's not even a question. Finally, every problem solved forever.
>>216578078>normalfags and redditors will be rooting for the Hive No one is doing that.
>>216578078>Literally burns his image of JesusWhat did Vince mean by this
>>216578114> Finally, every problem solved forever....No? They're going to run out of food and die while building another transmitter to infect the next planet.
>>216577837not her fault, it's how she's being written and directed
SPOILER: Carol has been a plurb since the beginning and it's all an act to trick the AUDIENCE
>>216577918You really think they're gonna wrap anything up in 2 episodes?
Anybody else annoyed that the main character is for some reason both>extremely curious about how and why things with the hive mind work>repeatedly fails to do the most basic thing, and ask them fucking questions which all the other survivors casually did It’s odd. Especially when she has had this happen like 3 times now, and she still refused to ask them anything Hell. I’m still confused on whether>the literal book cover was originally a woman based on zosia who was a model or soemthing, then when it was decided to be a man they just painted a beard itOr>the cover was always drawn to be a man but was made extremely feminine looking for some reason
>>216578114>Pretty much everyone on the internet is anti-Hive, especially on reddit.wrong, half of them are pro-hive thirdies who think pluribus proves that white americans are selfish and spoiled
>>216578137I mean every man-made problem. Solved by humanity dying out.
>>216578189What in the fuckedy-fuck?
It's incredible how bad the actress is at playing this snarky gal with an attitude. "That Gatorade was lukewarm". Jesus, she just comes across as a completely insufferable cunt. And don't tell me "She's being written like that on purpose!" like some faggot redditor. I know FOR A FACT that tard Gilligan was masturbating himself thinking he was writing this supercool aunt role for his fetish actress.BTW, check Kurt Russel as Snake Plisskin as an example of a character who's also an asshole and talks back to everyone but he's so charismatic that you end up liking him.
nothing ever happens in pluribussy
So is the Internet down in Pluribus world?Why? You’d think they’d maintain it for the sake of the survivors. So they could do their own research, talk to eachother with more convenience. EtcSeems weird they just collectively abandoned it. They could just keep it going without updating stuff, not like the survivors need breaking news
Who here /manusos/?
How much money does this guy have if he’s paying for everything he takes the whole way north?Physical money too. Who has that much today?
>>216578319he seems like a prepper, he probably had a shoebox of cash under his bed and gold bars
how will Manousos react when he finally gets to Carol, and sees she has embraced the hive, is living with zosia, fucking her, taking the blue pill.Will his arrival wake Carol up?

>>216578289it must be working - they somehow remotely turned on the gas station lights. this implies they had some kind of connection to some kind of PLC
>>216578357He should've just called her back.
>>216577188Why is that pretty girl flipping off the camera? That’s not attractive
>>216578289I might just be a retard but isn't the internet reliant on millions of local routers and servers that connect to each other and require electricity to power?Just having your router have electricity wouldn't allow you to connect to any website. All the servers hosting the websites and everything inbetween would need power too.
>>216577837I rewatched better call saul a few months ago and i noticed she was actually supposed to be a real character.Had completely forgotten about her character, and when i realized why i just started skipping every scene she was in, which is sadly like 30% of the entire series.

>>216578380Not really and depends on the scale. 8 people can shut off the Internet yes. The entire internet. Not even the president knows who they are. Their job is to reset it if it crashes. They are the key holders. No I am not your ask jeeves. This was done after 2003 when it was decided the usa could not be trusted with the entire internet.

>>216578184She believes she has to outsmart them or outplay them somehow. Next episode I'd predict she'll ask them questions more directly. >>216578319The first thing he did was visit every house of people who owed him money and he took it all lol
>>216578436what money
...7 key holders, one principle Yes. They can shut it all off or reset it. It's been known for decades Fucking brown shits. Come on this is basic internet shit
>>216578447time is money
currently plurbing as we speak
Pluribus is so fucking boringI'm all for a slow burn. But the tension and the stakes have to become clear by the time you reach the mid-season point. I'm on episode 7 and I feel like I'm watching the character arc happen in real time. Villigan's "just sit in their brain for a bit" trope doesnt work when the main character is just doing the same self-serving, mundane and repatative shit over and over. I've never been so invested in the show where the main character I'm rooting for is the endinghttps://old.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/1plhfi0/pluribus_is_so_fucking_boring/
>>216577958I don’t understand, why is she so hot here but not nearly as hot nowIs there some optimum sliding scale of where females are hottest in terms of age?
>>216578422>>216578455https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluribuswat Vrabo Bince
>>216578397>>216578422>>216578455That doesnt' really address my point.You would need electricity powering every server and everything inbetween.It's a waste of energy to keep it up.
>>216578018Because her character is annoying as shit, ruins everything and acts like a victim when people don’t want to be near her as a result
>>216578511They're willing to waste that energy for the immune people to be more comfortable.
>>216577995>>216578012In 1992 my uncle lost his wife in a car wreck, later that year he started fucking his daughter (my cousin) on her 13th birthday. Apparently the first time he got her drunk, crawled into her bed, pulled down her pajama bottoms and went to town on her coiinslot while she was still half passed out. After that it became a regular thing, after school or on weekends during the day, bringing his friends over, and so on and so forth. Another cousin of mine fucked her once when he was staying at their house too. Funnily enough, the only reason any of this came to light is that he went a town over and kidnapped a deaf girl walking home from high school and raped her, but somehow she was able to identify him and he got caught. They tried to link him to another missing girl but the DNA evidence off the clothing they found didn't match up with him. Turns out the prosecutors thought he did it but was working with someone else so couldn't prove it. He died in prison. The daughter went on to marry a real-estate guy and is addicted to pills.
>>216578514Some say that in preparation for her role as Carol Sturka Rhea Seahorn lived as a white woman for 50 years.
Next episode is called 'Charm Offensive', so probably some kind of sneaky Carol shenanigans.
>>216578457i don't think your time is worth any money
Yeah. The Internet Everything It all can be shutdown by 8 people. Even China It was built that way. It's been known decadesHow the fuck do Asians spend so much time online Not know this. It can just go. Vanish. Snap. Crypto, social media, just vanish. It's not real and never was meant to be.If an AGI gets onlineThey shut it all off. By turning keys.Everyday I come on here and everyday I see all the asians pretending to be westerners And they are insanely ignorant to the real world especially Indians. If Skynet pops upWe turn the keys And reset it all back to zero
>>216578545
>>216578560You're projecting, hard.
The survivors are regularly meeting up. In person. To discuss shit like how to stop the huge dying from lack of food. And we don’t get to see this at all.Bravo vince I get Carol is a miserable cunt but I can’t believe she didn’t want to spend as much time with the real people as possible. She gave up way too fast.Even if she thinks black French man is gross, he’s a person she can talk to. It shouldn’t have taken this long Bonus question:Do you think this guy had much sex before this happened?
>>216578567What stops a country from just organizing their own internet specific to their country, and then using whatever protocols to connect to the larger internet of the rest of the world?
>>216578498Are you 10?
>>216578587nothing. he's just a faggot spreading bullshit
season 2 opens with a flashback of other survivors before the plurbening and this playshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJkCsXemB5M
>ummmmm, you guys don’t get it. The character is MEANT to be unlikable and annoying. Lacking media literacy much?Why is Gilligan like this? Always women too
>>216578587How the system works at a basic level. I'm not your ask jeeves and this isn't an argument. This is reality. Don't ask me another indianism question where you are passively aggressively trying to argue
>>216578634nobody says thatthe argument is that skylar isn't unlikable at all. and she isn't. neither is carol
>>216578545yes she is clearly trying a ''keep your enemies closer'' strat, the end goal hasn't changed.
If this show was at all realistic, carol would have a long distance relationship with a plurb, move across the country for her then domestically abuse her and cheat on her Lesbians have the highest rates of domestic abuse
>>216576831A show set in Albuquerque, NM featuring local landmarks? Crazy, right?
>>216578643You're a strange man
>>216578643That's literally the most direct question possible given the premise. I agree it's reality. Now that we're on the same page, what kind of effort do they make to ensure no-one ever makes a local internet that would stay online when the key-frens pull the plug? I'd guess they just engage in a lot of exceptional diplomacy to make sure it just doesn't happen. I do remember a few years ago people were freaking out about Russia trying to set up their own internet protocols, I assume it had something to do with this.
>>216578526So losing his wife caused him to become a pedo?Crazy that grief can affect the brain like that. If only he’d gotten some counselling he wouldn’t have abused his daughter
>>216578682You're retarded I'll take strange over that
>>216578691Well people could take hammers and crush your skull for asking Indianism questions, feigning curiosity but really trying to argue. Lol
>>216578722yikes
They are so fucking madhttps://old.reddit.com/r/pluribustv/comments/1pln7j4/episode_7_left_me_confused/
>meant to be unlikableI really don't know if this is the case, but this last episode seems to be clearly designed to starkly contrast Carol against Manousos and provoke the viewer to 'take sides'.
>>216578790Based old Reddit user.
>>216578018It's the voice
>>216578585Yeah but the survivors are kind of retarded.
Pluribus, invent androids and send me a Kara
>>216578814I don't think it's that. I think it's more to show that these two are going to have to team up, but be an odd couple sort of team. One person is more emotional and hot-headed, the other is more calm and level-headed. Definitely going for a hot and cold thing with their dynamic for when they finally team up.
>>216578790>[deleted]
>>216578790>Am I missing something? Did we need to watch the Spanish dude drive across the country for ten minutes? Did we need 20 minutes of Carol doing whatever she wanted?
Pluribus, force James Gunn to make Peacemaker season 3.
Why don’t we see many kids in the hive scenes?Did the young ones all die during the conversion or soemthing?Or is Vince just keeping them off screen to avoid the inevitable questions raised about Joe fucked up it isEven ignoring pedo stuff. Surely they have the kids cleaning up the dead bodies like everybody else, and eating them
SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>216578790I still don't get what the point of seeing Carol do all that time-wasting nonsense was. In the previous episode, when Diabete said "They want to come back," Carol could've said "Okay fine" and then go to the scene of her and Zosia hugging, and it would've been literally the same.
>>216578892>Am I missing something? Did we need to watch The Hobbits walk across middle earth for 3 hours?tiktok and youtube have ruined this generation
>>216578929>Or is Vince just keeping them off screen to avoid the inevitable questions raised about Joe fucked up it isThis. It's why I'm expecting everyone to not remember anything they've learned about everyone else when they're connected to the hivemind. Because if every person DID retain knowledge afterwards, everybody's gonna bring up the obvious implications of that.
>>216578959you are a redditor and not in a good way.
rumor has it, the plurbs are having mutations one of them is in this thread speaking gibberish>8 people shutting down the internet dont ask me why askjeebs instead

>>216576824BASED
>nothing on this planet is yours>you don't belong hereinteresting that the plurb doesn't even bother with the "psychic glue" meme around /ourguy/, just stares blankly because it knows that he knows that it's an invading alien force

>It's a filler episodeOne letter off.
Questions are being answered like never before.
>>216579001bruh, what are you yapping about? This has nothing to with what I said.
>>216579043>tOh it was a fillet? I didn't really recognize some of the dishes carol was eating, thanks for answering one of my questionsboring fucking episode tho
>Plurbs, invent a time machine and deliver it to my houseBoom, humanity saved
>>216579063you're having a schizo meltie and you need to take your meds
>>216578929Probably worse at physical labor? They might all be behind computers.The real reason is that child labor laws are way stricter than for adults, so you don't want a ton of kids on your show.
>>216579043 You're right, it's a killer episode.It killed all my interest in the show.
>OMG SHE ALMOST UNALIVED HERSELF Can you seriously kill your self with a fucking firework? Wouldn’t she just be burned and in pain?
>>216579105Dumbass, you're comparing this slop with LotR, the literal GOAT. Fuck off.
>>216578939NOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T SUCK MY COCK
>>216578929It's because the unplurbed guy from Japan requested to send all children to him for some reason.
>>216579123That doesn't work. The anon used an image of a filter icon and named it t. meaning that's the letter he has provided. you cant pick kI think you need to leave this type of thing to the pros because I already handled it with filet
>>216576987>Carol is supposed to be a good writer with ambitionShe’s ambitious, but she’s not a good writer. She writes fantasy slop for horny middle aged women and autists. When she actually tried writing a real novel, it took her years to come up with something extremely mediocre and forgettable.She’s a lot different than the other Vince Gillian protagonists. Walt is basically a chemistry genius, and Jimmy is a master conman. Carol is just extremely mediocre and happened to get lucky with her terrible books (her lesbian manager was likely a significant factor in terms of how her novels grew in popularity).
I don’t understand. If the hive is all human minds that were alive. They have countless rapists, pedos, degenerates, murderers, imprisoned serial killers etc all as part of the hive mindAre they just suppressed, or would the hive be cool if a survivor was a pedo serial killer because they can relate? Too many questions. No answers
are we still going with the theory that this is just the plot of her unpublished book?
>>216579231That's too kino for Vince. Like the timeline theory for BCS
>>216579193I don’t think it’s fair to say her books were terrible. They weren’t some high art but they were enjoyable and had a big fan base for a reasonI liked hearing about that one depressed suicidal woman who found a reason to keep going thanks to the booksCarol is well aware they’re not fantastic examples of literature but that doesn’t mean they don’t have value
>>216579248the what
I don't like this show, it's ba sci fi, it's barely sci fi.It's a shame because you'd think proper budget and unrestrained director could do good but the writing is shit.Only part I felt was touching was the paraguay guy and his journey, it's the only really serious character and serious context.I felt sad when he abandons his car. It was well done. The concept of this hive mind makes no sense, in no way.
why isn't episode 7 on eztv yet? i'm too retarded for this
>>216578498TIMETAKING IT'S TOLL ON YOUTHE LINES THAT CRACK YOUR FACE
>>216579220Well, I personally believe it's too soon for direct answers. At this stage, inference is all we should really have to go on.The overall hive behavior is obviously not an "average" of human behavior/thought, or anything like that.I think the inference at this point is that their so-called 'biological imperative' is directing all activities and suppressing any non-conducive human characteristics.
>>216578892based, death to all speedwatchers
>>216579231You don't think she would have mentioned it? Or Larry Plurb would have brought it up?
>>216578892>>216578959I sat through Satantango and enjoyed it but Pluribus is fucking boring
>>216579123And yet here you are, talking about it. CURIOUS!
>>216579256My point is that she’s not exceptional in any way, which is different than Walt and Jimmy. Even Manousos is more exceptional than her.
>>216579257There was a copy of HG Well's Time Machine in Jimmy's appartment. Hinting at timetravel and shifting timelines.
So did anything in the show happen yet? Besides "There is a hivemind" ?
If plurbs are greatly affected by negative emotions, doesn't that mean the opposite is also possible? Strong positive emotions. Maybe Carol is going to use her romance writing skills to make Sozia fall in love with her so hard, she confesses what their weakness is and then Manousos arrives and kills her.
>>216576829If you remove the vince bonus it's pretty accurate.
>Character named Zosia>she is social
>>216579332she's exceptionally SEXOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>216579293based alice poster
i bet if you searched for "bravo vince" in the archive and plotted them against time there would be stark downtrend as the season progressed.
>>216579385>Manousos>acts manly>Carol>drives a car>Diabate>gorges himself with food until he gets diabetesVince, come on man.
>>216579332They are objectively exceptional, a bunch of people like them. Do you know how many books are written that no one buys? If you sell any amount you are exceptionalyou seem to have pretentious views
>>216579429ON GOD CAROL BE DRIVING CARS
>>216577618We also saw in the last ep that there's a photo of just him as a kid and his dad in his home
>>216578703Sometimes I wonder if he could have been a serial killer. The missing girl was featured on Unsolved Mysteries back in the day.
>>216579442You’re right, she’s exceptional in the same way that Dubai Chocolate is exceptional.
>>216576782>IMG_9702.jpg (5 KB, 300x168)C'mon man.
>>216578545Charm Offensive is the strategy the hive has used the whole time
>>216579487iphone filenames combined with thumbnail posting should be an automatic ban
>>216579482like I said, pretentious views. if you have a problem with this discussion feel free to pick better words. mcdonalds is objectively exceptional as a business
>>216579445just skip ahead like you do with every other scene, and while you're at it skip ahead to your grave bitch
This I hope makes people see that Vince is a hack, he has a lack of imagination and humanity to his writing. The speech about the aliens from manosous was good, but this is the only good moment in the show for me, I have to glaze him anons.Making a show just because you wanna give Rhea some scenes is lame
i'm rewatching the season now there's enough eps ^^
>>216579563I take it back, unbased alice poster because you didnt reply to me and are just attention whoring now

>plurb, from now on, whenever I do a finger gun at you and say "bang" that person has to fall over dramatically immediately
>>216578125i'm not even christian and yet that one's easy: he's not an idol-worshipper.>>216578078personally i like everything shown about him so far, though the lack of "stealing" is really funny when the entire social and economic structures that create private property are gone. It's like refusing to "steal" from your enemies in a war or to shoot a combatant first, mixed with refusal to use a star trek replicator or accept a gift from someone because they won't accept payment.Doesn't make his line about everything they have being stolen any less true or hard, I just think it's fascinatingly relevant to his character because it goes so far beyond refusing to cooperate with them and into the territory of self-delusion. After all even just siphoning the gas is already being done without permission -- permission that can never be received, and which was already violated by the plurb far more fundamentally than some property autism. Makes me wonder if it's supposed to convey something about him, since it's just so patently absurd leaving that money, especially given the plurbs 100% left those cars with gas for him along the way and that it just seems really disconnected from the world he's in there despite him in some ways being far more attuned to the reality than most of the other immunes.

>>216579916so stop watching and posting about it then, retard
>>216579916The only time I've really felt tested is during the answering machine moments. They feel genuinely antagonistic towards the audience. I do not believe that Vince actually thinks they're funny, he's literally just being annoying. He has to know it's annoyingFun fact if you hold shift + press the left or right arrow key on vlc you can fast forward or rewind by 3 seconds per press. It really helps watching this show

>>216578945because she's a stubborn person with a dead set attitude that she's deserves more like how she's shown to boss her partner around making her move her books to the top shelf at the book storejust cutting to her hugging zosia after talking to diabetes would be character assassination because they established that she believes what she was doing the right thing, even though her outbursts continually caused death and harm across the earthso they need to further establish her growing into the realization that she should apologize for what she did, which shouldn't take a couple of minutes after being told what she needs to doso you are wrong, it wouldn't of been the same

>>216578567"The Internet" is a network of routing stations that send signals to each other.They each have computers in them. These computers figure out which adjacent routing station incoming message packets should be sent to. They know the target locations because it says in the incoming messages' packet headers.You can't just shut that off. That's like saying there are people who can shut down the postal services of the world, or there is a way to turn off all phone lines in the world.It's decentralized, and even if 90% of routing stations were destroyed simultaneously, the remaining ones would continue functioning (provided each one has at least two connections left).So, shutting down the internet would require some kind of virus that can brick all manufacturers' routing stations at the same time. And even if such a thing existed, it would just cause huge repair/debugging costs and the stations would be back online after some time.Thank you for attending my ted talk.
