>>216816067I think things are fine the way they are
>>216816067>Former survivor shows up as plurbThis one has already become true lol
>>216816067the leaks were realits going to be a homo erotic fan-fic ending and nothing is going to happenjust some more carol raping zosiamano meets carolroll credits
sex with zosia
UFO! UFO! UFO!
>>216816203creamplurb in her polish zosiahole
>>216815942just caught up with the season. when do new eps air?
>>216816382tonight breh
So, wouldn't they have been able to analyze the RNA sequence before fucking injecting it into lab rats?
>>216816414sweet. what time?
>>216815942
how did Mano find out Carol's address and why didn't he just call her on the phone?>>216816067>Former survivor shows up as plurbalready confirmed and there's no such thing as unnecessary feet shot
>>216816112Good you posted. I cant im on christmas holidays
>>2168165469pm est
You're Carol, Zosia walks up to you and says>Carol, would you like to have sexual intercourse (sex) with us?Wat do?
>>216816602its on the package retardand he is a retarded spic that can't speak English or had a phone, just his shitty radio
>>216816637thanks
>>216816697oh yeah, the tapes. I forgot.>can't speak English or had a phonehe can't speak english irl either...
nothing happens then cliffhanger
>>216816583She stopped short? that's my move
>>216816747>>216816697also he has a phone which is how he found out she exists. who's the retard now.
Mano is based. I hope he let’s the plurbs starve to death and repopulates the earth with carol.
How would the plurbmind react if an uninfected tried to do something really disgusting to them like scat or a gay blowjob?
>>216816697He had a phone, Carol called him on his phone. I don't think she ever wrote down her own phone number on the tapes though, as she thought if anyone wanted to call her they could ask her number to the hivemind, but she forgot/disregarded the guy who lives in isolation.
>>216816788I like nothing happening I want more of nothing happening
>>216816221did you honestly miss the whole "ufos are real" thing?
>>216816897>oh yes, yes. We love the scat, and the gay blowjobs :)>Which ones?>all of them :)
>>216816221tora tora tora
>>216816583Man, the hopes i had in the first episode that her storyline is just one of many, and the disappointment i felt as I was realizing she's gonna be the single main character.
>>216817046how did you feel when you realized its not a scifi show but a middle aged strong independent lesbian coming of age love story.
>>216816067Some vince hack shit like POV phone calls and character changes their mind at the last second.
>>216817106>coming of agedoesn't that usually happen to young people?
I actually hate this show.
>>216816067zosia has husband and kids, they're saving the reveal in the next seasons.
>>216817143or women going through menopause
Countdown to eppy?Streaming on the tube??
>>216817143since mid 2010s and "coming of age" genre means anything where characters end in a new life phase, even if adult to elder
carol is rapist
E novem nihil
>>216816683>y-you too
diabate rapist
zosia rapist
carol not rapist
I want zosia to rape me
who would you rape/be raped by/have totally consensual plurbin' time?
how many hours for new ep release?
How much time from this post the episode airs?
>>216817585ur mom lmao
>>216816067The plurbs get violent when manitsisios attacks themCarol sides with the plubs when manistotios says he wants to take them downCarol and mafliolopiosts discover something huge about the plurbs like a major weakeness that changes everything and makes you look at the plubs completely differently and makes rewatches different Either way cant wait
>>216816897Well if the plurbs like everything anyone has ever been into, id assume theyd be up for it. Maybe they draw the line at pain. Next ep should be carol pooping on plurbs
Manusos is really mean to the plurbs. Maybe he should get plurbed.
about to start episode 6 so many things will be happening
>>216815314We need a Mr. Diabate spinoff where he asks these questions including the unredacted Epstein list from John Cena and gets answers
>>216817585too flat.
>>216817585I... decline from answering this question
Does anyone else think Manousos is kinda cute…
>>216816979
>>216817585Plurb, bring me Sydney Sweeny, Jax Slayher, Jason Luv and Mandingo.
How many plurbs?
IM GUNNA FUCKIN PLURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRB
Isn't it sus that they never sent cute girls Mano's way?
is the finale going to be plurbulent?
THE FIRST SHOW TO SELL A PLURBILLION SEASONS
>we can't get your stem cells without your consent because it involves a needle, which will cause discomfort >but we can kiss you on the mouth without your consent, even though it will cause you discomfortWhat's the logic behind this? I get they're different levels of discomfort, but where does the hive draw the line?
>>216818224It's plurbtriguing
>>216818377It really makes zero sense. It seems like they only made up all of those rules after their takeover.
>Stay out of my Plurbitory Damn, Vince is a master of foreshadowing
>>216818377You guys think any of the freaks slipped a little tongue during the kisses?
intriguing isn't "oh my god", it's not a major reveal, it's "huh, that was intriguing!" that's the word they used not exciting, enthralling, dramatic, provocative or even satisfying IT'S OVER IT'S FUCKING OVER IT'S GOING TO BE SHIT
>>216817585Nice try FBI
I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW WAYFARER BECAUSE I KNOW BREAKING BAD
>>216818472>Zosia will gradually regain her individuality over the course of the show>every comment under any clip of Pluribus will be "this is the moment Zosia became deplurbed"Bravo, Bince.
>>216818716What if Zosia is Plurb Prime?
>>216818377it's non invasive, which is how we know the rat is not a plurb
>>216819005Why was it playing dead then?
>>216817649>makes you look at the plubs completely differently and makes rewatches differentWhat would that even be?
>>216816583>>216816795you must have dozed off during that scene
>>216817910Muchly cute! :D
>>216818853wouldnt mind her priming my plurb if u catch my drift
>>216819044some rats just want to watch the world burn
Pluribusting in the pluribussy
>>216817764go back to korea
>>216819044it was mid plurbing.
>>216819089Nice of Carol to check for breast cancer
>>216817764Name 6 things that happened
there was an orgy scene at the end of a matrix movie? i've only seen the first one.
We're gonna get some shit with Manousos not liking that Carol is gay aren't we?
>>216819360it was at the start of the movie and you only get to see 2 people having sex while everyone else is at a sweaty rave
>>216819360I think it was just in the middle of the movie at some point. And it was rather tame. The sex part was mostly implied. A big rave party before the robots kill us all kind of deal.
>>216817229>>216817619>>216817627see>>216816637five hours and forty-eight minutes from now
>>216819322yea its one of the easiest ways to get around the AI mods. the prompts are extra strict when using real pictures vs AI genned originals
>>216819367Probably more like he thinks she's an ally who hates the plurb as much as him but she's fucking them now. He's holding them at knife point and shes playing board games with them, so they might have conflict at first
>>216819328their 3rd child dies their first child gets into SNUher bf starts his military service it's revealed who paid for 3 months rent back before they got their own placethe family comes to terms with the death of the youngest siblingthey decide to not sell the cabbage field
>>216819284What was Brock's problem?
>>216819367it's appletv. not a chance. a plurbsexual on the other hand...
>>216819005I think the ethics of the hivemind has to do with the ethics of the host species. If the rat was really infected, it didn't have the evolved mind to rationalize right from wrong.>>216818377Showrunners believe everyone is some form of gay and don't consider a kiss like that as a bad thing.
>>216815942It's plurbin time
Montana was one of the filming locations for this season but we haven't seen anything in Montana yetIt's where America's nukes are stored and it's associated with reclusive survivalists like Ted KaczinskiDuring the finale a bunker full of unplurbed survivors will be revealed
>>216819668directed by Christopher Nolan
What was the font of truth?
>>216819668What if in the season finale its revealed to be a drug-addled dream Jesse is having while bored at that feminist art museum.
>>216818853There is no plurb prime, only a patient zero who we saw in ep 1 (not zosia)
I would enjoy the show much more if Carol was played by Julia Garner
>>216819584>don't consider a kiss like that as a bad thingThere was literally an evil scary violin sting during the kiss, it's very obviously meant to be frightening and weird
Zosia is so fucking ugly it's unreal
so the plurb is probably a biological weapon sent by those aliens to subjugate entire planets remotely before they even arrive. the question is will we see them arrive at some point in future seasons or would that be too weird/too big of a departure?
>>216820010I expect they will show up once Vince is out of ideas
>>216819765>Carol and Manousos discover that just before the Plurbening they both did some potent methamphetamine they found under the sofa>The Plurb finds out and tries to run them down>1986 Fleetwood Bounder rolls up>"Come with me if you want to cook">"I guess I got what I deserved" starts playing
>>216819759Arial
>>216819746I really, really doubt that the plurbs can lie. 13 is all that is left.
>>216819584yeah in the beginning it was clear they were intending to convert carol for sure. it was only when they learned they’d have to physically harm her with an invasive procedure that they realized they needed consent. carol herself said they obviously didn’t get consent from the billions of people they converted without asking, and they didn’t really have a good answer to that.
>>216820010If they could travel fast enough for it to somehow fit their arrival narratively, they wouldn't really need such a weapon. Unless they're just listening for new sources of the plurb code and only then begin to consider that the source might be worth looking at.Also, I doubt Kepler-whatever is the original planet. It's probably just what the Earth will become if the plurb wins.
>>216820010there arent going to be any aliens, its literally just a virus that acts like a computer virus with code to make intelligent life peacefully go extinct after using available local resources to build another antenna to spread further, kepler 22b is probably dead aswell, the plurbs dont know what is on kepler 22b because its just a program holding humanity hostage.
>>216820010>plurbs are literally building a satelite to propagate the signal>"hmm I wonder what are the motives of aliens who sent the signal"take a wild guess
>>216820108NTA, but not knowing about something and therefore providing a wrong reply is something they can do.We also know that they do use radio waves to communicate, so it is possible to isolate a space enough to cut that communication and stay where the plurb can't feel you.Still, for this to work, everyone who would know of such a place would have to die before getting plurbed or it'd absolutely try to make its way there.
>>216820010my crackpot dark horse theory is that they're slavers the plurbs are completely non hostile and servile
>>216820192they can't sense other people, they just have the collective knowledge of everyone they infect and use that to find and infect everyone else. so even if there was a crazy guy in the woods, someone around would likely know about them.
just caught up, I was wondering if there's a way to support the show without giving apple my dollars
>>216818429>>216818377The plurboids are mentally ill. It's that shrimple.
>>216820045kek true>>216820115well they said the signal could have been getting sent for thousands of years, it was only just found by humans, so they could have sent it a long time ago and been traveling for a while. true that it’s probably not the original planet>>216820124true but it was invented by some alien people at some point, presumably. also it’s unlikely the plurbs would go extinct as their would be more than enough food even just from falling apples/naturally dead animals/etc to feed at least several million people indefinitely. >>216820134probably true but I still think it being a weapon sent by nonplurbed aliens is a possibility >>216820198yeah something like this.
>>216820297Yeah, that's why I mentioned that everyone who would know of such a place would have to die pre-plurbing or it wouldn't be a secret at all.As for the feeling, Zosia did mention that Carol has "it" too, she's just not using it, which of course don't confirm or deny that they could feel or trace it in some other way (like making a detector using the pooled knowledge from all the scientists etc.). They can sense each other, obviously, so any human activity they could pick up in any way, which doesn't feel like their own, is, by default, someone they should be infecting.Mostly I'd just want to see what becomes of the plurb when cut off from the signal, and I am surprised the show didn't even mention that yet, because it could happen naturally/accidentally too (spelunking, scavenging a bunker, passing under a faraday cage installation etc.).Though I bet there's some gay adaptation that makes it seek the herd to sync back up or something, rather than immediately temporarily revert.
>>216820301well it seems like apple just distributes the show but sony produces it, so presumably sony technically owns it which means apple might not make any money from merch sales, but it’s also possible they do get a cut of the merch. no way to know really. also they use a lot of online metrics to determine how popular a show is, not necessarily just how many people actually watch (although I’m sure that’s a big part of it), which means talking about the show on social media and stuff literally can increase the odds of it getting renewed, getting a bigger budget or at least no budget cut, etc.
>>216820297>>216820108ITT: People who have never watched a TV show before and/or can't think of things from the writers point of viewThere is a 100% chance that more survivors exist
>>216820010i don't think the OG Pluribians actually plan to subjugate other civs, or even visit other planets at all. I bet they just sent out the first Plurb Signal as some kind of self perpetuating wonderweapon to destroy other developing civilizations. Like an artificial "Great Filter" to reduce the chance of any other civs reaching Kardashev Stage 1-2 and sending wonderweapons of their own towards Planet Plurb
>>216818377Kissing != discomfort, incel
>>216820476I bet mano will trap one in a faraday cage next season after carol tells him they connect/communicate electromagnetically. it will be interesting to see how it affects them.
>>216820559He should already know that though. He is the one that figured out the exact frequency they use, so I'm quite surprised he wasn't shown even considering trying to do that.I'm sure the plurb would be very upset and could give him the cold shoulder treatment afterwards, but he is the least likely survivor to give a shit about that. Then again, if they did fuck off like he wanted them too, he'd be dead in Panama.Also, I am quite surprised his constant disdain for plurbs doesn't cause them to get the jitters or avoid him altogether.Guess it needs to be more direct to do that, since both times Carol made it happen, it was directed at one unit, rather than the entire concept of the plurb.
>>216820536possible. that’s a pretty brutal interstellar genocidal preemptive strike.
it is ILLIGAL to make glorp Zosia
>>216820676Well, the idea is to use your advantage before anyone else gets a chance to use theirs. If you give them time, who knows what kind of freaky tech they COULD hit you with, which you'd be powerless to counter.
plurbos binted?
>>216820672he just picked up some noise on that frequency but wouldn’t know it’s how they psychically communicate without carol’s info. yeah I also found it strange that holding a scalpel to one’s neck didn’t cause them to all seize up but getting karened by carol did. I guess she’s just that insufferable kek.
ummm when are we getting the vince gilligan™ character methodically prepares something he will use later in the episode scene?
>>216820476What's odd about the telepathy/energy thing is that it means other alien species have that too and the signal relies on sapient creatures being innately capable of it. It separates it from being part of the virus, the way it was explained.
>>216820748They knew he wasn't going to do shit
>>216820134it's a valid question. not the kepler people necessarily but the one who started the daisy chain>>216820536I subscribe to this notion alsoOR their motives are pure but they didn't consider that an advanced civilization would not be energy beings who don't require organic mass for sustenanceI'm split 50/50>>216820505yes, but discovering them before the plurb or keeping them away from the plurb would be a challenge.she's barely interacted with the 12 known ones tho so it hasn't come to that yet.
>>216820795And she was? She just shoved Zosia a bit and said she hates her. That's playground tier. My best guess is that he is treating them like air, or objects, not worth talking to or thinking about, instead of actively fuming at them. At least until he figures out a way to fix it.
>>216816067Here's another one:Diabetes has a change of heart when the little south american girl stops coming to zoom meetings because she got plurbedHe'll feel like the plurbs killed her and he won't feel like an elite anymore but a prisoner
>>216820794or maybe the virus just compels a species to communicate in the most efficient way and this is something humans have the ability to do so they all started doing it. maybe on other planets they all have to coordinate verbally, or online, or whatever.
>>216820794Well, even rocks or "the vacuum" have some electromagnetic activity to it, so maybe it's a safe bet that a living thing would have some too (plus a way to format it into something purposeful) or maybe the virus just adapts to the host to find or create a way to communicate like this.
>>216820917I think it creates more questions than it answers and it doesn't seem the showrunners realize this, but sure that could be an explanation.
even from was better than this turd of a show and i got memed into watching it again. only thing it has going for it is the visuals.
>>216820878he would just fuck her.
>Manousos: "why are you gay?">Zosia: "who says I'm gay?">Manousos: "...you are gay"
>>216820838>yes, but discovering them before the plurb or keeping them away from the plurb would be a challenge.Not relevant to what I said, don't reply to me again
>>216815942>>Vince plans for 4 seasonslol, fuck off Vince, you fucking hackunless the Trisolarians have the capacity to lie, the plot self detonated in EP1.
>>216820997No I don't think so. There's more to him than just that. He likes being an "elite" with a world of servants. One elite member disappearing into the masses of servants is highly disturbing for him.
The Hivemind is a slut
>>216820955>>216820794There was some finding lately about how all living things emit low level electromagnetic radiation that is detectable
>>216821007>zosia gets unplurbed>starts liking manus>manus likes carol>carol likes zosiaI'll detonate my suicide vest in ABQ if this turns into love triangle bullshit for women
>>216821016there's 100% chance that you suck cock by choice
>>216820850>>216820795>>216820748Maybe it's just me, but my interpretation was that the plurbs reacted to Carol's emotions; when humans have strong emotions, this is reflected in their EM wave communication whatever, and even non-plurbs can do this (They mention that Carol has that electric field, even if she doesn't "use" it). So what happened is that Carol's emotional outburst generated those EM waves that resonated in the plurbs and made them seize up, but Mano was much colder about the whole situation when he was holding the plurb hostage; clearly he was stressed, but he was in control of his emotions.I predict that in the future, survivors weaponizing their subconscious emotion-driven electric field against the plurbs will be a plot point somehow.
>>216820838the whole>we can’t hurt a living thing, not even harvesting plantsjust seems like such a drawback that it seems obvious that the survival of the plurbed species is not important at all to the senders, and maybe not even desired. and obviously if the sender has bad intentions then they’d absolutely program docility into the plurbed. I guess the only real question is whether the signal just wants to propagate itself or whether it’s senders have some ulterior motive.
>>216821104manousos blast
>>216821042insightful. I could see that.
Breaking bad, better call saul, pluribus whatever man just keep bringing me that
>>216821074true but it’s hard to make yourself feel a certain emotion. you can act angry but actually getting angry on command like pulling a trigger is difficult. I can see them using it though, just not easily or often. also, given that they all seize up when just one of them gets disrupted by carol’s emotions, I wonder how they would all react if just one of them was isolated in a faraday cage?
>>216821160Just remember who you're plurbing for.
>>216821070virtually guaranteed if the show lasts more than three seasons.
>>216821104this show would be better as shonenshit
i love the physically unimpressive but persistent and selfess hero archetype like manos and the squid game dude. probably because it taps into the canon of jesus christ. it's more meaningful to be noble if the odds are against you.
>>216821104>stop my unplurbable son
the empty box captcha is killing me
>>216821175If the electric system is operating on the level of hard-scifi I'm expecting, I think if the plurb is in a properly isolating faraday cage, that plurb could start seizing up, or get new information, and the rest of the hivemind wouldn't know about it. If we ever hear about those astronaut or submariner plurbs we might get confirmation on that, since those can act like faraday cages.
>>216821292just fucking count, anon
>>216821217most shows would be
>>216821073ESL failure
>>216821341we don't sign our posts here
>>216821175Maybe they couldn't even react and they'd assume he/she died because of the lost communication.The key would be the moments before though. If they knew you're purposefully trying to do it, there'd absolutely be some kind of a self-preserving kneejerk on their part.
>>216821297true, it wasn’t specified whether they could psychically communicate with the astronauts of if they had to do it the old fashioned way until they got back to earth. it doesn’t seem like there is a distance limitation, unless each one is like a relay to the next.
>>216821353it would be cool/scary to see them get physically aggressive, not against carol or mano but like break into the house and break open the cage, etc. to get their lost member back connected again. kinda like when carol (stupidly) tried to drug zosia at the crowded hospital where a bunch of them were all around kek.
>>216821292I just solve that one with vibes
Bad news, boys Vince is dead.
>>216821422vaxxed?
Kinda weird how during carol and zosia playing croquet zosia said "still my turn", and 10 minutes later in the episode shes struggling saying me instead of us.
>>216821355I think it literally works like the opening animation; new information propagates through the hives as a wave, being relayed from one member to the next.This show has clearly cared about the science of the whole thing so far, so let me explain my theory.Each human generates this electric field naturally. They're only humans, and this is a small portion of their energy expenditure, so the strength of this signal cannot be very strong, the range must surely be limited. Even at its most generous, a single human can't send this signal more than a few kilometers away; more on open plains, less in mountainous terrain.If there is a large group of humans in one location, they could plausibly synchronize their signal to increase the range, though. I suspect such a signal could be what Mano detected on that one frequency.The humans on the entire planet form a single connected network, through which electric signals propagate at the speed of light. This means the latency to transmit a signal from one side of the planet to the next is around 0.1s, and perceptively instantaneous at a short range.So, I don't think they could communicate with the astronauts. Somehow, they must have gotten the virus onto the station without arousing suspicion, and once they took it over they relayed the news back to earth with standard communication channels.

>>216821526mano is who we all wish we would be if we were survivorsdiabetes is who we would all actually be
Manny has been in like 4 scenes, delivered one good line against the plurb and then acted 100% certifiably retarded for the rest of his scenes. I don't see why people act like he's a crazy good character.
>>216821575he might be a retard, but he's MY retard
>>216821575nervous, plurbigger?
>>216821352>there's 100% chanceWorthless shitstain
>>216821575he's superpower is a pure heart, that's pretty cool too
>>216821602god fuck that scene was so damn based. awesome delivery
>>216821518the opening credits could also be depicting how the message propagates through the galaxythey probably got the astronauts through the food, although I suppose they could’ve sent someone up to smooch them. I agree that there’s probably a limited range for an “individual” person’s signal, but we haven’t seen any indication of that yet. also the plurb would just know to keep people space out around the world as repeaters to keep communication connected for everyone.
>>216821575diabetes is going to become the beta cuck of the survivors and there’s nothing you can do about it
>>216821458She was nervous
Can't wait to see what good old Vinnie Bravo has in store for us tonight in the season finale!
>>216821060Lately? I don't know why I'm even in this thread or even watching Pluribus, this show is like an IQ filter.
is it true S1 was designed to also work as a self contained story if other ones weren't greenlit
>>216821458we’ll never know if that was a mistake or not because it’s pretty clear that zosia will be the one they try to turn back to normal, so anything she says could retroactively be construed as evidence she was already becoming independent
>>216821652>the opening credits could also be depicting how the message propagates through the galaxyThe one rhyming with the other is probably intentional, neat.
>>216821564>mano is who we all wish we would be if we were survivorshe's operator coded but he hasn't actually done anything cool yetpretty sure we all wish we were Diatribe
>>216821575consider the other characters this show offers. he is far and away the best part of this boring dogshit
Normalfags are losing their shit over the plurbs all sleeping on their left sides (it's most efficient at digesting) but Zosia woke up in Carol's bed sleeping on her right side
>>216816067>Chekov's Pussy Destroyer 5000 Massage GunWhat if it's actually a mindbreaking orgasm that deplurbs Zosia?
>>216820545>being kissed by a smelly jeet with rotten curry breath is comfortable
>>216821820Both seasons were greenlit at the same time.
This has to be some kind of social experiment by Vince, right? The show beats you over the fucking head repeating exactly what is going on with zero mystery or subversion and yet all online discourse is trying to dissect extremely minor details to create grand theories that make zero fucking sense and have no bearing in reality. People are acting like its a mystery box show when its precisely the opposite... what the fuck is happening? are Vince fans just retarded?
Well fellow we, it has been an honor plurbing with you. We shall see us in 2 years.
>>216822160we want to believe
>>216818377>kissing without consent isn't discomfort>picking an apple from a tree or berries from wheat is discomfort for the tree or plantThe contrivances in this series are ridiculous
>>216822058We can only hope
>>216822204might not be satisfactory but it was addressed and justified as a basic biological imperative, to spread. everything else is secondary.
>>216822052I thought the shoulder grab thing was kinda lame and awkward. She should have hugged her midriff or something. That would have been more natural.
>>216821786I hate how little trust the plurbs have in Carol.
>>216822052damn, I've always done that instinctively. this confirms that I'm always right.they could be doing it for snuggling purposes too.anyway, it's called turning in your sleep.
>>216822204The only way this isn't a plothole is that the plurb's intent really is to downsize the human population, but I don't know what that actually accomplishes. The question is will there still be plurbs giving birth 10 months after the takeover or not?>>216822237True, they did "expedite" their takeover because they were being discovered and didn't care about the collateral in that context. The aversion to agriculture is still fucking retarded though.
>>216822294>The aversion to agriculture is still fucking retarded though.especially since fruit is a naturally occurring reproduction mechanism where the plant literally wants animals to eat the fruit and shit out the seeds so it can grow a new plant. it’s as natural as breathing.
>>216822052zosia was more like on her stomach in carol’s bed, because I remember seeing butt and also her scar. I doubt she sleeps on her right side at all because of her injury/scar.
>>216822175looking forward to tonight!
>>216821786
>>216822386I think it's retarded, by design. The biological directives are extremely literal. They cannot lie, and they cannot kill, simple as. Their whole behaviour had to somehow be compressed into a 78 base strand of RNA, so it makes sense that the "rules" would have to be very very simple.
Try to look at this show from the perspective of Vince.I have this idea I ran across in a number of different shows. I have Kim Wexler. Writers, do something with this. Don't bother me with the details.
>>216822451is she drinking placenta juice?
>>216822451>plurb all over me
>>216822386i'm happy that their pro-life policy is autistically simplistic and doesn't recognize categories of life humans might intuitively think of. it fits with the virus being engineered by distant aliens to work in a variety of circumstances.
>>216822490would you like her to? that can be arranged
I have figured out how the show will end.the survivors will use the huge radio dish the plurbs build to further spread the virus, to send a signal back to kepler22b. the signal will be the right frequency or whatever to disrupt the electromagnetic connection between plurbed individuals. they’ll undo the virus all the way back up the chain to wherever it originated.
>>216822572I dont think it works that way. the inbound signal was a fire and forget thing, not a C2 node
How will Manousos kill Zosia?
>>216822671with a hammer
>>216822671He will use a ham radio to beat her to death
>>216821007Why does the couch look like Homer Simpson trippin' on Peyote?
Jerking off with Manousos inside his bunker
>>216822671carol's shotgun
>>216818617>being scared of pajeet run feds
I owuld have dropped that snorefest already if it weren't for my gf, she likes it, for some reason.>>216821602That guy is keeping that show alive on his own.
Your endgame theory must include the hive's sensitivity to extreme emotions. That is a loose thread that will inevitably tie in to how this ends.
justify why only aggressive emotions cause them to tilt, not violence or pain itself. seeing someone act rude is just a sensory stimulus ultimately. actually i just thought of one: even the immune individuals are still infected and somewhat connected to the hive but perhaps insulated from most effects. perhaps this even explains why the hive serves their desires. way ahead of you vince!
>>216823222>extreme negative emotions cause them to seize up>extreme positive emotions cause them to unplurbCarol will save the world with the power of love
>>216822970Nah son, us tag teaming Carol and Zosia
>>216823310Because the humans' (and by extension, the plurbs') electric field is controlled by the brain's emotions, not muscular actions or pain felt in the flesh, I think. See >>216821074I do like the idea that the immune individuals are actually somewhat infected, but the symptoms just don't affect them, like they've been vaxxed against it.>>216823314You know, when zosia was fondly reminiscing about her own memories with Carol, it really did seem like she was getting a bit unplurby, right? Like putting herself back in her own brain was giving her back control, I thought that was interesting.
>>216823222It was a teenage phase.
>>216823310Yeah, it doesn't make sense that Diabeetus get's to have an orgy but the pets are left to their own devices rather than every dog having a harem of white women to hump.
>>216823430the personal reminiscing potentially disconnecting a plurb thing, this would allow for a plot point where the survivors hack into big tech databases to pull up all personal information about plurbs to leverage. perfectly dystopic, sci-fi and relevant to our times. man vince must be fuming if he didnt think of this himself.
episode 7 and less than half over that's crazy didn't think they still made them like that anymore
>>216823430>You know, when zosia was fondly reminiscing about her own memories with Carol, it really did seem like she was getting a bit unplurby, right? Like putting herself back in her own brain was giving her back control, I thought that was interesting.I wanted to think of it that way after someone spoiled me on the last EP by mentioning she started saying "I" instead of "We" etc.Then I watched it myself and Carol clearly asks her to do that.So now I'm kind of suspecting it could all simply be "an act" of the plurb to fool (or, win over) Carol and get her thinking that maybe she shouldn't be fighting/obstructing/generating bad PR for the plurb and could instead focus on enjoying her "chaperone" and maybe even consider joining after all.
>>216823222>>216823314ive been saying this since episode 1, the whole plurbening is carol being confronted with her depression, its gay and lame but very obvious if you know about modern therapy, the hivemind being all overly positive and inevitably extincting themselves pointlessly is the meaningless alternative to her being confident about herself (not being depressed;not overrreacting to external emotional stimuli, rejecting own individuality and flaws, not looking for meaning etc) which makes her realise life with all its shittiness is worth it, the whole situation makes her learn coping skills and control her mind and she will act to zosia the way her dyke gf always tried to have her act and zosia will unplurb because of it and they find a way to unplurb the world by psychologicially untangling them back into individuals, i really hope it wont go that way.
wait does ep9 release in a few hours? i'm reading dec 23 6pm PT on some sites
>>216823581That thought has merit, but I did feel like whenever she was saying "I" in those scenes (after Carol asked her to) she did it with some hesitation or awkwardness, but during the reminiscing she was suddenly doing it naturally. Perhaps the reason they had that hesitation is even because the very act of using "I" weakens the plurbing, which they want to avoid. Or maybe the plurb was just suddenly better at acting, but they haven't seemed to have this much competence with that type of manipulation so far. It's still plausible though.
>>216823567why did you post this image? are you in my fucking walls? ive been eating tangerines alot recently, and every time i'm watching a new ep i'll have like two of them. what the fuck?
The radio signal is the sequence to an antivirus that deplurbs people
>>216823696you know what they say, when life gives you tangerines...
The Pluribus will lose to Manousos because only a latin can defeat LatinBravo vince
Why is Carol so old? Wouldn't it had been better if she was young like Zosia?
who streams again? i forgot the link, also what time? i didnt even know it was today.
>>216823763Only 10 years of difference between them, anon.
>>216823763Because of when she was born.
>>216823763If she were younger it would literally be pedophilia, creep.
>>216823719what are potential sources for that signal? clearly the original dna signal required huge antennas to be received. i suppose the plurbs use radio stations around the world to broadcast it for what ever reason?
>plurbing is a biological imperative so strong we killed millions of people just to avoid being stopped by the government>but we can't plurb you without your consent now because it would give you an ouchie :(
so plurbs can't even pick tangerines off the trees?
>>216823826Shut up it's not a sci-fi show, Vince said so.
>>216823826Until they plurbed the whole world they didn't have the brainpower for thinking about consent. When it was only a few plurbs it was a barely sentient entity, since each plurbed brain is only capable of very rudimentary processing. It needs absolutely gigantic processing power to simulate sapience, just like something else I could mention.
>>216823763Zosia is post menopause
>>216823849Correct. But if someone gave them tangerines they might be able to make something of them
>>216823849What are you, a fucking murdering sicko?
>>216823864where did he say that?This has gotta be the most wasted potential show in a decade
>>216823763A younger woman with Carol's emotional maturity would still he likable because you know she's young. But Carol the old womanchild is extremely unlikable.
>>216823639I think that's tomorrow MOTHERFUCKERS
My prediction is carol gets plurbed and her smiling is the cliffhanger, but it won’t stick and she’ll be unplurbed at the beginning of season 2.
It's just kinda weird that Zosia is in her 30s and Carol looks like to be in her mid-50s to early 60s.
>>216823920It's 2 hours from now
>>216823924Too soon for something that meaningful to happen, Vince is saving that for S3 (2029)
>>216823826The deaths were accidental, either by the rejection of the virus or some accident during the seizures, so it's like "oopsie, but we didn't committed that" while direct action what Plurb can't do.
Plurb plurb bo burb banana fana fo furb me my mo murb, plurb
>>216823948Karolina Wydra is 44, not 30s.
>>216823976They were fully aware plurbing would cause seizures and inevitably lead to the death and dismemberment of millions.
>>216823665They seem to be capable of "learning" and not counting the two exceptions, the survivors weren't very tough nuts to crack. They got one of them to openly consider joining after just a few days.Curiously, their "vector of attack" is pretty much always using loved ones or relatives/family, which apparently makes it very easy. For the frenchie they went with a male power fantasy instead, because I assume he is either too selfish or didn't have anyone who could be considered significant (or they died).With Carol, the plan has failed before it even began, as her gf died during plurbing, so they pivoted to using a random nobody because she happened to look like an early draft of her OC. With Manos it was an instant fail because he apparently hates his mother and I guess there was no one else to try.Carol rejected their offering twice (or thrice), sure, but after they gave her the cold shoulder long enough, she begged them to come back, so they might feel like they have found a way that works on her (like praising her writing etc.).
>>216821070>ifhahahaha
>>216822490Her own. That AI is from ~7 months in the future.
at this pace s2 should have 12 1.5hr epi sodes (and thats a good thing)
>>216823912there are no aliens anon
is it airing tonight or did i order 55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos, 55 pies, 55 cokes, 100 tater tots, 100 pizzas, 100 tenders, 100 meatballs, 100 coffees, 55 wings, 55 shakes, 55 pancakes, 55 pastas, 55 peppers, and 155 taters for nothing?
>>216824012They can't minutely control when the seizures happen, so it's not like they could've timed it perfectly for every infected individual. Also, it seems they still TRIED to do that, but when humanity realised what's happening and started to violently resist, the plurb had to get sloppy with it (or risk failing).
>>216823951you sure?I read 24th
that scene where the patient zero lady just creeps at the dude to kiss him without words is cinema because it's just one degree shy of how a regular woman might act there
>>216824032>Manos it was an instant fail because he apparently hates his motherI don't see that way. It isn't that he hates his mother, but that she got so out of character that he can clearly see that it isn't his mother. >cabrona >translated as a "bitch"It would be better to understand as a "badass", a tough person, not someone that gently, eager to please the others, but not as someone Manousos dislikes.
>A comfy Christmas Carol with my Pluribuddies
>>216824310Huh, thanks for the detail, spic-whisperer. This small tweak in the translation changes my interpretation of the character a lot.
>>216824195what was the significance of him ordering 55 of some items and 100 of others?
sorry if i'm stating the obvious but manos leaving the paper sign about opening the storages is a signal of his belief and intent of ending the virus
>>216824367He can't drive 55
ok imagine thismanouses drives into Albuquerque and finds the hatch
>>216824032NPCs just tend to take the easy way out of anything anon, I'm not surprised most of the survivors did like that Lakshi bitch and just put their heads in the sand about the whole thing. I think only neurotic, mentally unsound overthinking individuals (like me) would think of resisting the joining once they started trying to mollify them.
>>216824312Reminder that the Plurb is gonna use Carol's Easter eggs to rebirth Jesus and then Plurb Jesus too
>>216824312fren
>>216824310Good to know. That's some atrocious subtitling then.
season 2 spoiler: manouses and carol are inside the house and if they go out at night they get plurbed
>>216824300Tard
>>216824372he does a more of such things later, it's what keeps him sane, but technically it is also what would get him killed for nothing at least once so far
>>216823826Yeah I think it's pretty weird and weak, but there is arguably consistency. The only time they start rules lawyering consent is when the hive's very existence is threatened. I.e. they're halfway hostile to Carol when she tries to separate one of them and get it to confess the secret of how to unplurb. And then they straight up condemn her to glorified solitary confinement, likely knowing it's going to upset her - out of self defense.During the plurbening they faced a dilemma of very real extinction of the hive or "risk it and don't think of the likely consequences." I think they CAN hurt people and lie, if they really want to, but they pretty much never will under 99.99% of life scenarios.
>>216824481It's 24th for us europoors but 23rd in the US

>>216824403Natural human condition, adapt and survive. Fight only if you know you can win and stand to actually gain something from it etc.I don't like how easily they folded, but on the other hand, the two that didn't would be already dead without the plurb, so I guess it doesn't take an expert to determine which is the most likely winning (or at least surviving) strategy here. Especially if you're, for example, a 70yo man, where coming to terms with the fact that you have effectively just lost your entire family and it leaves you with nothing and no time or energy to change it, would be too devastating to take. Also, we technically don't know how many (immune) survivors there were originally, we only know the number from the moment Carol asked about it (and we also know that there could be more, since Manusos was added after they suddenly became aware of him). My point is, some of them might've refused to accept or interact with their new reality and took the "easy way out".
>>216824544>phoneniggers can't post threadsBLOCK ALL MOBILE TRAFFIC REEEEEE
>>216823763She wouldn't be half as bitter. Also Vince is loyal like a dog and reuses the same actors. In shows that run for years.Better question is why isn't Zosia younger. She's an OC from a women's bean flicker novel.
>>216815985what's up with this bitch nowadays? after the police did a welfare check on her while she was living on the wiggers house, I stopped following the whole thing. Any new developments?
>>216824757Vince clearly wants to fuck KimCarol, so he probably has a thing for older women.
>>216824032>For the frenchie they went with a male power fantasy instead, because I assume he is either too selfish or didn't have anyone who could be considered significant (or they died).I heard the show isn't about AI, but slightly unrelated, I will note Diabetes acts exactly like I do with AI and using it to write me one off power fantasy RPGs and interactive on going stories. Interesting how accidentally on the nose that is. The AI tries too hard to please you for it to totally work, but if you handhold it enough and tell it to stay in character, so to speak, you can get it to do whatever. I think it's a way more realistic response than most realize.On pains of anonymity I will say I have a tab open of Grok as a Colonial English EIC soldier that gains isekai powers and is going around India burning shit and taking women at whim.
>>216824759she was silent for a while and now spams the cringiest tiktok moves
>>216824824>grokHeh. There are whole threads, tools and presets dedicated to doing that. More capable LLMs too and it can get pretty addictive for a while. Lot more heinous plots that people use it all for too.Anyway, yes, there's some similarities, though the motivations behind the one running the simulation are entirely different.
