They should unplurb someone first, even if it's just as a fuck you to the hivemind. There's no way of knowing wtf aways them after a potential unjoining. Do people come back thankful? Are they "oh fuck thank God you took me out of there I was stuck watching my body do all sorts of crazy things" or are they actually enjoying it? Wouldn't the Peruvian girl willingly joining imply there are people who would have wanted to join as well, and might even take action to go back?

A game series called STALKER explored a lot of this concept about 20 years back. After leaving the hivemind, many were elated to be normal but were extremely regretful over what they had done while part of the hive, then there were others that missed being part of a greater whole and desperately wanted back in.

Redditors are bending over backwards trying to defend Carol and explain why they still like her. She's "human" and "flawed" and "imperfect" and "understandable" and "fleshed out" and "still wants to save humanity" and "unique" as if these address why she isn't a good protagonist

Walt had his pride and his cancer and his chemistry knowledge and his family, all which serve to push the plot forward and threaten his relationships and generate conflict. Jimmy has his ambition and con skills and his relationship with his brother. What does Carol have? Isolation, grief, self-doubt. She just doesn't work as a protagonist.

I honestly would have killed her the next chance I got when she shot her gun at me. She was clearly absolutely useless and compromised and who knows what she will do if you hurt her precious alien friends. It's literally too dangerous to keep her alive. The show made her turn around almost immediately but obviously you'd have to kill her in a realistic scenario.
>>
>>216852695
It's a series with a lot of depth. The group that are in a hivemind are called Monolith, and at the end of the first game you disable the psy-field and everyone is detached and returns to being themselves. You can find a group of them roaming in the third game and they don't know where to go or who they can talk to since regular people hate them and fear them because of what they did when they were in the hivemind.

This is what I'm saying. Vince and his minions will defend Carol saying Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul had horrible evil immoral characters that people liked because "they were men", but the problem is that Carol genuinely has nothing going for her. She's not smart, she's not fun, she's not kind, she is not selfless, she's not brave, she doesn't have any skills or good personality traits.

For sure. What's funny is the central plot of STALKER 2 is about former Monolith that want to rejoin the hivemind while a majority of other former Monolith don't want to, but rejoining the hivemind will force all the former Monolithians back into it against their will because their minds are permanently susceptible to it.

As for overall gameplay, pretty gud. There's some DLC coming out early next year too which sounds pretty kino but it's still a great game as is.

dude she hasn't even begun to try. All she did was to talk to the plurbs for a bit and discovering some personality traits. Rofl, congrats on several months of work there. She is not misunderstood, that's the thing: She's a typical, useless, cunty person who has never done anything for anyone but herself and even in the face of global annihilation she still doesn't change. Billions of people starving to death? Well that's just crazy! I came up with a solution immediately that just because the plurbs cant kill anything: You can have them build a machine that Carol presses a button on to kill a million cows each day. She could also be doing the exact same thing as what Manos did and keep screaming at them and seeing if that helps get the real person out again. That was the first thing he tried but somehow this is too complicated for her. He even thought to warn them first so that 9 billion people step off their ladders first or land their planes so nobody gets hurt.

Bruh this episode made me hate carol so much, it literally goes to fuckin show, don't send a woman - especially not a lesbian to do a mans job of saving the world kek. Say what you will about our schizoid latino - that brother was focused on his mission even after carol sturka failed him in every way.

Carol kneeewww exactly who these people were and she thought she could love bomb them into submission? What in retardation...i get she had her nervous break down , that's no excuse to forget.

Season 2 - Carol is gonna bitch about why she has to die alone and drag her feet , me me me bullshit while our boi literally becomes a fuckin engineer (deadass could ask to be taught in a lecture if he wanted too with virusGPT over here) in the meantime and its only his work that's gonna lead anywhere. Vince HAS to know how he's portraying these characters, is this lowkey a sneak jab on LGBT-tards?

Vince probably knows he's got at least a 3 season run with this I would assume. I have to admit, I would never watch this shit week to week - so I waited until season finale weekend to binge this. FUUUCK this was a well written, well shot, boring AF show. Nothing happens!

What bait, oooo finale is gonna turn everything on its head. They didn't do shit really. Two conversations and a change of heart.

Zosia is deadass my fave character tho after latino-man.

He assumed it wasn't bugged because he randomly "borrowed" it. But realistically the plurb did have time to bug it when he wrote "+ one ambulance" on the I Owe You. Generally he underestimates what a hivemind super intelligence could do.

in general you can only do so much, he has to sleep at some point. While he sleeps they can easily plant listening devices all over him, his phone, into the soles of his shoes or directly into him. He is doing the best he can with a big dose of hope.

Vince is revealing that LGBT-tards are not tolerant towards browns the moment they have to sacrifice anything of their own even if the brown dude has a good reason for doing what he did.

She shoots at him and then racks the shotgun and tells him to back away. The next thing we see is her treating her slit friend. It's obvious she ordered him into the closest containtment area she could find to keep him away. Once the plurbs were back the drones would be instantly monitored and he would have been seen getting out of the trunk.

What the fuck do you people even want to happen? Deaths? Solutions to everything? This is obviously a show that focuses on the drama and humanity of the characters.

We'll probably get some deaths at some point though. They seemed to imply the plurbs wouldn't take kindly to be deplurbbed and treat it like a "fire".

I'm not sure those stem cells work that way. Those cells in adults just repair damage, while embryonic are the kind that can be used to make things from new and grow more of that new shit continuously.

Why do you people think she can just ask them to destroy her eggs? Their desire to spread supersedes everything else - they were willing to kill for it, though not purposeful they were aware it was a risk.

>Manages to learn basic english in less than a month, all while also traveling by car
>Almost manages to cross the Darien on foot
>Actually manages to make more progress investigating the plurb in a few hours than Carol in a whole week because radio obssesed schizo
>Managed to deal with white lesbian woman temper tantrum with little context somewhat
>Traces a bunch of conspiracy theories about the plurb, and probably more than half of them are right
>Learns basic physics and electromagnetism in less than a week.
Thus guy is just hyperfocused as hell.

Every episode she seems to drink until she passes out, I think it's more than a problem. And it would be pretty based if Vince never addressed this, she will just have to save the world while being an alcoholic.

Manousos reacted more calmly to Carol's antagonism than I expected after the conversation with Zosia, and I think it is probably because Zosia told him Carol was the only survivor to try and resist the hive and about the whole drug induced interrogation thing.
>>
>>216853310
And atom bomb does not directly keep them from their priority to spread to her. For them it's just a more extreme version of the grenade. You shouldn't need to be spoonfed that the protecting the joining and infecting everyone is the number one thing they won't compromise on.

If I was Tim Apple, I would tell that fuck he has 2 months to get back with us with the story and 4 months after that to get filming.

Carol was right about literally everything until she chose to go live with Zosia instead of helping Manlysauce, but it makes perfect sense that she did because shes been miserable all of her life and for the first time in a very long time she was happy, REALLY HAPPY. Happier than she was even with Helen it seems.
>>
>>216853479
I heard this too but after watching the first episode it makes no sense. Would a man be writing fantasy romanceslop?

There's also the massive CGI budget needed to have footage of Rhea standing on a roof looking over Albuquerque, you can't film a wide shot of a city in live action, it's too complicated.

the spic guy who's a conspiracy theorist is way more interesting

When this show first started a lot of you were "she's literally me" about Carol, what changed? Did the mirror become uncomfortable?

What is carol going to do? She cant force them to give up the mind control. Their autonomy is completely lost no matter what she does.

No of course not, she should be helping manly sauce fix them so they can regain their autonomy. But carol is not the one enslaving them, she is not forcing them to do anything. Not even remotely.

>>216853507
This, I wish the POV of the show would change to him because he actually seems to be driven by something even if he's also got his mental issues, he has a philosophy and he sticks to it while displaying more agency in how he scans for the radio channels and tries to figure out some scientific way to turn things around.

But Carol does start to wonder once they find the device planted by her wife in the cabinet. Carol even angrily rings up the Plurbs to ask "Did you plant that bug?" To which they answer no (which is the truth). But again, it never crossed her mind that the correct way to question this is 'Did you bug my house?"

Carol deadass watched brown guy drive upto the house via predator drone on her TV, carol is retarded.

They don't have to bug her home , she uses a fucking landline , the FBI had a program decades ago that can reverse tap land lines , im sure they can just boot that shit back up and say "no we did not literally bug your home" , CIA can watch u via your TV if they wanted too

Zosia says "that wasn't us" , could the president have survived and is keeping tabs on the survivors as well? That would be a genuine twist , a third party with its own motivations. But I think the atom bomb dispells this theory a little.

I think its a subtle implication that she never actually trusted these things, if they have them, they have copies, she knows they want to plurb her so why wouldn't they make copies

Sure, but the point of turning military and high level officials early would be to circumvent such isolation.
The president asks his Admirals to recall all submarine crews or others that might be hidden away in some top secret bunker. They comply, returning to port or base only to be infected.
Even people that are off grid like uncontacted tribes, can be written to say that they were still affected by the magical chemtrails that happened to reach everywhere.

I'm sure that Vince can have some isolated people that weren't affected as an excuse to introduce new characters in future seasons.

My question is, why didn't she just ask to get her frozen eggs back? They couldn't have denied her from that, could they?

The big twist down the line is that the hive can lie, it just chooses not to because it considers that to be "right". But when it has to it will.

I used to think this as well, but then it begs the question of why they have given up so much information that is literally helping carol and manly sauce stop them.

Zosia/the show pretends like the rules are ironclad, but they're inconsistent within the show.
It has all these rules, but it has shown that it WILL make exceptions, such as stocking a grocery store of food just for Carol even if it means a bunch of food wastage and inefficiency and additional starvation, or digging a grave/building a diner just to please Carol even if it means killing plants and ants.
So if its main priority is to spread and it has already shown the ability to withhold information and plurb people without consent, then it WILL lie to Carol if it comes down to it. And the same thing goes for it's "no killing" rule, if the "spread at all costs" rule takes precedence.
>>
>>216852201
the finale didn't even really feel like a finale it just felt like another episode. It also pissed me off how carol suddenly was so sympathetic to the hivemind and being a overall dickhead to mannusos. Like I get she doesn't want to be alone again and wants to be happy but that should stop her from exercising basic critical thinking. like if she sat down and thought for one minute and went

There is enough existing produce to present to carol at that point in the timeline , there are only 12 survivors , they can just the fronting for them as a business expense to stay in the good graces of the remaining 12 or whatever the number is now.

>what changed? Did the mirror become uncomfortable?

did u miss the psychological breakdown? Carol was one of those modern computer addicted humans (like 4channers) who thinks they are "such an introvert" and could totally fend for themselves alone if it came down too it cause they are so quirky. But she was lying to herself, she needed people, and called the plurbs back. She knew how insufferable she was when the other 12 rejected her. Lashed out with the golf and the bentley - but ultimately still broke down.

I think everyone points that out. But it's valid. Like they can't directly kill anything on purpose. Not a bug, not a blade of grass, nothing. But they did DIRECTLY kill eight hundred million people in the mass joining. So they're rules can be bent or broken depending on circumstances. I think the big rule is to mass assimilate at all costs. It's such a big rule, that they can and will break all other rules to get to that point.

I can somewhat see the logic, in the case where they are infecting billions of people and nearly killing 1 out of 7 of them, they need to aggressively multiply in order to ensure that they are not quarantined and studied. They need to aggressively ensure their own survival. But once the plurbs totally take over, they let Carol and the spic guy fuck around and they are willing to starve themselves without even trying to develop sustainable food sources. Either they value their survival or they don't. Either is fine and could make for good scifi. Flipflopping between the two is retarded. But whatever, this show exists to give the female actress a career and let Vince spend millions of dollars on expensive filming locations
>>
>>216853006
Plurbs wouldn't go for that, but they would go for radical genetic experimentation if it was within their expert tier risk parameters and perfect awareness, zero error bio control.

I'd tell them to just radically biohack crops so they grow faster and shed fruit.

She behaves exactly like most women do, dumbass.
She knew her relationship with Zosia was dumb but wants to validate cheap emotional delusions instead of being logical and literally cannot live life without fully validating any kind of emotional need she might have.

But realizing they're going to fucking MURDER her by making her join them wakes her out of her BULLSHIT and her logic that was there all along finally overrides the emotion.

Pluribus is a metaphor for the entire industry going to the streaming model, and Carol is Vince refusing to go along, and the plot is how he and a couple old colleagues burn it all down.

>Would you fix the Pluribus situation?
>How would you?

My question is what is the decision making matrix of the plurbs? Do they just do a bunch of statistical analysis on what the next logical step for the antenna is one by one? Or is there a head plurb even within all that noise that takes hold , or is it simply majority rule when at an impass? But what is the majority or decision maker if they all brain dead nimrods post joining?

Something (even a concept) is directing this or is the implication that plurbs are just high on life drug addicts that just roam their local environment until they are needed for the main quest line and waste away otherwise? Biological imperatives

Plurbs are basically reverse zombies that can mask as conscious beings. They can speak, think, and mimic a human, but they aren't actually there if its a virus.

> You need to generate antibodies from the immune system of the survivors , if its a true virus with a DNA sequence as implied by the intro being how we got it , then that means our immune systems can do something about it.

Maybe the radio jammer signal can fracture the hive mind into factions and they all have to vy for power and influence.

And then we can have the aliens arrive from Kepler-22b in their FTL starships and Carol and Manousos and Laxmi have to team up to infiltrate the mothership and smuggle the nuke on board.

When Carol was asking Zosia about her former life and partner, does anybody get the sense that Carol was purposefully and carefully wording her questions to avoid receiving any hints about the real Zosia's sexuality?
