I love Carol.I love that she had a hard time having fun in an ice hotel. I love that she protected Helen’s grave from wolfdogs. I love that her comfort watch is The Golden Girls. I love that she doesn’t speak snap. The fact that so many people find her challenging and unlikeable just makes me love her more.I feel grateful to Vince Gilligan, Rhea Seehorn, and everyone involved in this amazing show for bringing us such an original and three dimensional protagonist.
>>216913928>just plurbing with ma plurb>good thing they can never plurb me
Ok all plurbs on the board? Captain - next stop Little Saint James island
I miss them...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh07rhLuMUs
>>216913965Sup Vince. Your show fucking sucks
>>216914032i am a chud enjoying a lesbian love story, whats going on vince???
Rhea really is a great actress in the way she fully inhabits a character. I haven't seen anyone comparing Carol to Kim because she seems fully realized from the first minute onscreen.
>>216913928>The year is 2028>Gavin Newsom is President>New season of Pluribus is premiering>Life is good
>>216913928>OOOOOOHHHH I'M PLURBING!!!!!!!!!!!
>>216913928IQ gate show. You can tell because Reddit hates it. I do think it should have all been released all at once though instead of weekly
Yeah so the diabete character is a real degenerate pervert for exploiting the situation to have sexual relations with women that wouldn’t otherwise associate with himAnyway, yeah apple I need another 150 million so I can keep trying to sleep with Rhea Seehorn. If we wait another 2 years to start filming she’ll be even more walled and desperate so I’ll have a better chance than ever before. Thanks
Let's start the weekend off right with some plurb-related funnies and lols
>>216914074You caught yuri brain worms
what is she going to do with the bomb?
what are some good sci fi shows I should watch?
>>216914163I spend most of the episode thinking about what each scene implies, not everyone wants that from TV.It’s such a fun show to rewind and analyse
>>216914178Vince doesn't really seem to take Koumba's harem stuff that seriously, it's not like the show ever judges him too harshly for it.
>>216914193Vince hasn’t decided yet but I’m sure he’s rubbing his hands together at the thought of spending 3 days filming a montage of Rhea struggling to open the box
>>216914032I like how Zosia dresses in blue to match Carol's eyes. It's like she's hoping to be the one who captures Carol's gaze and fills her sight.
>>216914216Just you wait till season 4 when diabetes is sentenced to life in prison for the sex crimes committed against the plurbs. Meanwhile carol is excused because she was a vulnerable woman experiencing trauma
>>216914216It thinks it's funny if anything.Only 4chan thinks the show is judging Diabetes
>>216914032failed pairing
>>216914243i laughed
>>216914294Vince should have casted himself as Koumba and then after Kim turned he could add her to the harem
>WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DO VIOLENCE>bites a person in the first episode
>>216914294Manousos is gay.
>>216914163>I do think it should have all been released all at once though instead of weeklyBinged the entire thing yesterday, definitely seemed like the right thing to do. People are retarded, but I can kinda understand how waiting week to week would make it feel much slower than it actually is.
>>216914216Yeah, he gets treated as "that silly Koumba with his harem and his sports cars! Look how he copies Carol's breakfast and flies around in Airforce One! What a silly guy!"He's never presented as a villain, but rather as a semi-helpful clown who like Carol understands the situation as what it is, but chooses hedonism instead of heroism. He isn't an NPC like those other immune people, but he is also not really useful unless it benefits himself.
>>216914125>Gavin Newsom is PresidentTrump will be President until Jan 20 2029
>>216914207V miniseries from 1983
>under-secretary of agriculture? Can’t I speak to the president?>*presidential entrance music plays*>*Trump waddles on screen*>Carol, I’ll help you because I know you voted for me. I won with the people of the great state of New Mexico. I won bigly - I would’ve won even more if it hadn’t have been for the RIGGED ELECTION. Many people talked about the WOKE MIND VIRUS and TDS - we called it TDS - ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ - many people were saying that, anyway this mind virus is similar to that. It’s not so bad though, everyone is living together in peace and harmony. One big beautiful human race. No more racism, no more terrorism - the great people of Isreal are finally safe from attack. Thank you for your attention to this matter
>>216913965This but unironically. It's nice that she tries to do the right thing a bunch, even if it doesn't turn out. I look forward to further character development in S2.
>>216914207man in the high castle
>>216914243classic.
>>216914125I am a very patient person with a good attention span (I enjoyed Pluribus, after all) so I wont have any problem waiting three years for season 2.
>>216914570I’m continuously shocked that John smith isn’t the most talked about character on /tv/ He’s a literal Nazi but he’s also a good guy
>>216914532>we are all equal drones in the hiiiiive-mind>I am the best though>they never had a drone like me, everyone says it on the telepathy networks>you can ask anyone!>we have big things to do here, take care Carol!>*waddles off screen*
>>216914671is he one of those woke nazis?
Dropped the show at around episode 3. Can I get a qrd?
>>216914742whole lot of nothing keeps happening you're good. Don't bother. Maybe get into coloring books.
>>216913928Do you know how they do these studies of people watching daytime TV or scrolling TikTok, and in the end they spent hours without noticing the time passing and can't remember anything? So it's like the opposite of meaningful social interactions or holiday trips that last only a short time but that people remember in detail for years?Pluribus is like that. I undeniably spent 7 hours sitting in front of the TV watching it but it feels like it was only an hour or two. I remember the first and maybe last couple episodes and nothing else.
>>216914671>He’s a literal Nazi but he’s also a good guymany such cases
>>216914687Not particularly>>216914742Kek someone in a previous thread said they stopped watching at episode 4 and asked for everything of note that happened after that to be spoiled for them. The thread was only able to come up with 2 interesting things>they eat people>she gets an atom bomb
>>216914415>>216914163What makes it deep? I have my own personal ideas and interpretations, but I dont believe a mainstream show has the balls to confront humanity as a whole and the average person like that. Its too obvious what the show means, if you interpret it the way I do. And that is basically a questioning of the value of some socially validated platitudes and ideals.To be fair I havent finished the show yet, so Carol being pathetic for Zsosia somewhat counters my interpretation, but yeah. I wrote a big post about this some weeks ago, and everybody just ignored it here.
"Hey Zosia, could you guys give me my eggs please? They belong to me."Seriously why doesn't she at least try this? They have to fulfill her wishes and this one is very reasonable.
>>216914742you missed the best character, a road trip, a lot of scenes with Carol's feet, a trip to vegas, another sightseeing trip and finally a sad goat
>>216914671Because the show shit the bed at the last episode and ruined his character
>>216914832We can assume she tried some stuff until she settled on a consolatory nuke
>>216914832>Huevos?
>>216914866She acts so retarded I'm not convinced she did
>>216914832the plurbs can just say no where the biological imperative is concerned, so I'm assuming she tried that and failed until more comes out.
>>216914899Why is he dressed like a park ranger anyway?
>>216914959She didn't find out that they needed her consent to extract stem cells until the brown rapist told her because she's too stupid to ask them the right questions. I don't blame her though it's not her fault she was written that way
>>216914980Someone shoop in godzilla behind the building
>>216914990>brown rapistHe’s not a rapist. There are only a few women left that it would even be possible to rape and he’s shown zero interest in any of them
>>216914990>rapist?
>>216915052The women he fucks are possessed by the Plurb and can't consent
>>216915078If he's a rapist then so is Carol.
>>216915078So carol is a rapist for scissoring with zosia then?
>>216915024>>216915052I said it for the (You)s, thanks chumps. That and I don't know or care about his name
>>216915078but the plurb collective consents to make him happythey all consented including the ones who get penetrated
>>216915097So are the married survivors still fucking their plurbed spouses.
>>216915078Hey midwit maybe you should watch the show before you post in the general. Their minds are all one
>>216914980god I miss the 90s
>>216915097Carol is rapist even if Diabetes is not.
>>216914980Looks like a Sega CD game sequence, lol.
>>216915097>>216915098Yes, but reddit forgives her because she was lonely.>>216915118Correct>>216915129Maybe you should watch the show. The individual personas are gone or suppressed. Their personas disolved like a drop in an ocean. The drones are mindless zombies that only pretend to have personalities when the Plurb wants to manipulate the survivors. Vince couldn't spell it out even more clearly.
>>216913928What city are they in right here. I don't recognize that skyscraper with the double spires
Haven't watched this show since ep 3. Have they shown a baby plurb yet? I refuse to watch this premiseslop if it even avoid exploring the premise fully
>>216914899>machete>walks 9k kms and don't arm himself even with a single .38 revolver¿En serio, Manousos?
>>216915213No actually they hadn’t. They had a baby basket in episode 1 and it was implied the baby was having the seizure inside but it was turned away from the camera
>>216915213We didn't see him, but the show showed Carol's reaction to a baby getting plurbed in episode 1.This brings up the fun point that among other cannibalism, the plurbs are also eating dead babies.
>>216915234He would have to steal it.
>>216914994
>>216915234He doesn’t believe in guns just like he doesn’t believe in socialised medicine
>>216915271hehe kek
>>216915144She's definitely more of a rapist since the vast majority of women aren't lesbians. And even if they are they probably prefer young attractive women with big tits just like men. Brown guy is okay looking for a brown guy. I'd wager if you'd take all 4 billion women on earth, more would choose to sleep with brownoid than with blonde menopausal bitch.
>>216915271Who Will Plurb
>>216914074Lesbians are based when written by straight men
>>216914742>the plurbs eat dead people for sustenance because their no-harming-living-things rule extends to picking crops and plants>it's implied that the hive mind operates on a specific radio frequency>Carol becomes the female version of Air Force One guy then goes back to wanting to save the world in the last 2 minutes of episode 9
>>216915305The way Carol asked Zosia about her former partner made it kind of obvious that she was straight
>>216915485Or bi, simply as. The fact she had a husband/bf doesn't mean Zosia before plurbing were open to plurb women too.
>>216915530>wasn't open
It’s an allegory for how capitalism is taking away our individualism but everyone supports it because of “convenience”
???
>>216914980why is it like that?
>>216915572>capitalism is taking away our individualismHow?
>>216915634IT'S PLURBENING
>>216915654Something something New Mexico sun messing with lights something something CGI to compensate.
>>216915572It's about social media / AI. Also that makes no sense because the social repercussions of capitalism is that it makes everybody hyperindividualistic
>>216915677Why not just write a full, coherent sentence?
>>216915634>Vince accidentally submitted his 45 minute Carol's feet collection to AppleTV as episode 10
>>216915728Why don't you have a wife and kids and a good job like your cousin?
how come vince is so obsessed with central/south americans? is he on the mexico city payroll?
>>216915654Someone in a previous general said something along the lines of TV industry union laws requiring scenes with any kind of combat or violence to be filmed in a greenscreen padded room for safety
>>216915654Vince probably added the whole smartphone sub-plot later to round out the Mano-Carol encounter
>>216914832yeah, i assumed the crate at the end was just her eggs in a freezer, given that she can ask for anything. stupid gaping plot hole.
>>216915572I think Manousos character has to do with that mostly.
>>216915814>can I have my eggs>no
>>216914532kek
>>216913928Great show, I marathoned the whole thing yesterday and I haven't done that in a long time. Too bad it'll be TWO YEARS until S02 comes out...And had I been in that situation, I wouldn't have cared if aliens were taking over humanity, I'd have done like that one guy and lived in a mansion with a harem of qts.
>>216915024let's not forget that the minds of a billion children are in the plurbies, and he's fucking all of them. so did carol. they fucked every child and baby in the world.
>>216915853So they say yes to every request including an atom bomb but won’t give her the eggs?That seems like something she should at least ask for, given that they have said yes to everything elseAnd if they say no it seems pretty relevant that they would show it in the show with it being the first time they refuse a request no? They even give her heroin
>>216915728Any predictions for season 2? I think by the end the Plurb will split due to Molases fucking with the frequencies and the split plurb groups will end up being loyal to their preferred survivor. Carl loses Zosha but gets all the woke huwite women
>>216915944whoops, didn't mean to reply
>>216915939>And if they say no it seems pretty relevant that they would show it in the show with it being the first time they refuse a request no?It wouldn't be the first time. They refused to tell her how to unplurb people.
>>216915944vince here, sounds like a good idea, thanks
>>216915976No they didn’t
>>216915976>They refused to tell her how to unplurb people.i don't remember this
question: what happened to all the domesticated pets? seems like there would be cats and dogs everywhereif they let them all starve isnt that the same as killing them?
>>216915939Plurbing everyone is their highest priority. Being honest and helpful is secondary at best. >doesn't answer questions about how to reverse the plurbing>abandons the entire city when Carol keeps pushing (even though that definitely makes her unhappy)>tries its hardest to not tell Carol about the egg thing until she straight up asks about it (lies of omission)>not to mention the mass plurbing of all of humanity without everyone's consent
>>216916017>>216916055Guys... the Please Carol episode? Did you forget what that was about? Am I going schizo
>>216916108I guess we got a wave of speed watchers after the finale
do you think they finally made indians and pakistanis clean up their countries when they shared their minds with everyone else? is it even possible to clean up that much garbage?
>>216916138probably just abandoned the area like those peruvian villager plurbs. only a tsunami can fix that mess
>>216916068They explained this in the show, speedwatcher.
>>216916068probably ate each other and then eaten by coyotes and wolves and foxes and badgers
So what's the alien's end game? Turn humans into compliant sheep who will never leave Earth and thus never threaten them?Also, why are the aliens so intent on converting the remaining 13 normal humans? Do they fear the normies might breed with mind controlled humans and produce uncontrollable humans? Because if I was in that situation, I'd be breeding the fuck out all the supermodels on Earth.
The pacing of the show is fine, it's the pacing of Carol's brain that is questionable. Just for example the grenade to bazooka to tank to bomb conversation in episode three. If you understand they will do anything you ask then your brain should make the logical leaps on your behalf, and you don't need to hit each point of conversation like a dog taking three minutes to walk twenty feet because it has to stop to piss every other second.>Walt: Soooo... I can make... and sell... weed?>Jessie: Yes.>Walt: Hmm, very good. Well then could I also sell cocaine?>Jessie: Yes.>Walt: Wow... but then it follows that I could sell heroin, correct?>Jessie: Sure.>Walt: My God... but wait... what about...Jesus.
>>216916178they did?
>>216916138if I were an immune the first thing I'd do is make the Plurbs clean up India out of spite. I wouldn't even intend on going there,
>>216916207>why are the aliens so intent on converting the remaining 13 normal humans?They can control the plurbs, similarly to the alien overlords.
>>216916207>breeding>supermodelsenjoy your 20 week premature 150g baby
>>216916207the aliens who created the virus originally are long gone. the signal was sent by the last planet infected by it. after the antenna on earth is built to spread it to the next planet, eveybody will die.
>>216916220They let the pets go, if they hang around they take care of them.
>>216916211Yeah, it took her a frustratingly long time to figure out how a hivemind works. I would say most of us should have understood it by the end of the first episode, but there are people still making dumbass theories about the hive even after 9 episodes of spoonfeeding the constraints to us. .
>>216916229>They can control the plurbs, similarly to the alien overlords.They can freak them out and make them go into shutdown mode but that leaves the normals without anybody to do everything that has to be done.>>216916251You know what I mean.>>216916283>the aliens who created the virus originally are long gone. the signal was sent by the last planet infected by it. after the antenna on earth is built to spread it to the next planet, eveybody will die.Ahh.
trvke
>>216916427Why do brown people love the idea of being merged into a hive mind
>>216916486I like the idea of Amerikikes being neutered so they can't kill more people.
>>216916424>They can freak them out and make them go into shutdown mode but that leaves the normals without anybody to do everything that has to be done.They can shut them down yeah, that's one big thing.But the plurbs also seem to really want to serve the non-plurbs. Probably they are programmed to serve any non-plurbs as a sort of engineered slave species. That works as long as all non-plurbs are aliens and not humans. Non-infected humans are a bug of sorts.It's hard to say how aware the plurbs are of all of this. Maybe the immune could also trick the plurbs into building planetary defense systems and other things that would fuck up the plans of the aliens. So yeah, the non-infected need to go.
>>216916486because the number of white people in the world is in the hundreds of millions, and the number of dark people is in the multi-billions. merging would drag the average white iq down to about 75, meaning whites are no longer competition for anything.
>>216916283well there have to be some people left to do maintenance on the radio and the power supply. you’d have to keep the signal going for like a million years to be sure you hit a planet at the time it has intelligent life that can receive it. in the case of kepler 22b it’s possible they’re extinct by now, but there’s no way to know.
The drums in the song at the end instantly reminded me of the Haruhi Suzumiya soundtrack:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJiOf_sld3k
If they can use Carol's eggs for stem cells, could they also collect the sperm of Samba from one of his lady friends to turn him as well?
I don't like seeing Zosia sad :(
>>216916486I just finished the show. Is this really a common viewpoint that people wouldn't turn the world back?
Show's over. Next season in about two years.You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
>>216916547There's no big plan behind the virus, it's just a virus. We can infer that what's happening on Earth already happened on Kepler-22b.
>>216916694Only commies and women working in HR
>>216916680I do. Fuck that Polish whore, I'll bully the fuck out of her.
Was Kusimayu feeding the goat with her breast milk and that's why it was so attached to her
>>216916680It makes me happy :)
>>216916679You can trick eggs into a "virgin birth" kinda thing which then gives you stemcells, but this doesn't work with sperm.Neither eggs nor sperm contain stemcells initially.
Something I like about the interviews with Zosia and mano's actors is that they keep arguing for their character's side of the debate.
>>216916525whats that gotta do with being a plurb
I'm only up to episode 6 so there's a chance I'm wrong.But my wife and I's first reaction to the Hivemind is firmly "this sounds great, how do we join?" You can only value individualism as an individual. The effort it takes the Pluribus to stock a shopping centre for Carol shows that she is not an individual, she is a parasite.No wars, no violence, no heiracrchy, no rape, no exploitation of the natural environment, a steady reduction to sustainable population levels. All good.In that sense, Carol is a selfish American CatchYouNextTuesday. We hate her.I'm European if that matters.
Pluribussy
>>216916838based NPC
>tfw the stripper at the club pretends to love you back
>>216916547the whole super nice, honest, obedient thing really reminds me of how Jews see Americans. prob not a coincidence that the mind virus starts in New Mexico, symbolically where the current world order started with the manhattan project.the show isnt really a serious drama in the slightest, it's clearly a comedy. I mean ffs the drama starts with chemtrails. the unplurbing will most likely use tinfoil hats.
>>216914980I didn't even notice when I watched it, it's weird, same with the rooftop green screen
>>216913965I love how Carol raped Zosia.It was so wholesome.
>>216916895It wasn't rape, just like Koumba didn't rape anyone either.
I love that she had a hard time having fun in an ice hotel. I love that she protected Helen’s grave from wolfdogs. I love that her comfort watch is The Golden Girls. I love that she doesn’t speak snap. The fact that so many people find her challenging and unlikeable just makes me love her more.I feel grateful to Vince Gilligan, Rhea Seehorn, and everyone involved in this amazing show for bringing us such an original and three dimensional protagonist.
>>216916895As the last American, Carol is now the first female president by unanimous vote. Which means she rules over the US and the wider world and can decide what is or isn't rape.
>>216915933I though people didn't have their "minds" anymore, and that's the reason why it's rape, make up your mind
>>216916944>>216916838So the reddit post re-poster shows up again, in the darkest times
>>216914980PS1 cut scene
>I spend most of the episode thinking about what each scene implies, not everyone wants that from TV.>It’s such a fun show to rewind and analyse
Season 2 Manousos just dropped
>>216916959Nah the rapist black guy has three things that make him US President by default>he is in possession of Air Force one and the nuclear football>he is black>he is a rapist
>>216916875damn look at the height differencethat's hot
>>216916895women can't rape
>>216914163Reddit loves it though
>>216916781oh, ok, thanks!
Nah why does the main character lesbo woman agree to sleep in a hockey arena full of other sleeping people what a fucking weirdo imagine the smell
>>216914178Im pretty sure he is obsessed with Rhea lol
>>216916781maybe they collected the jeet sperm and already injected it into carols eggs and now they have both of their DNA
>>216917043Why does this look like a fucking set or a greenscreen? Looked normal while watching the episode
>>216917295the entire culdesac is a set. the homes arent real
Do you want to save /tv/ or shitpost?
enough time has passed is this show woke or sleep
>>216913965>speak snap???
>>216916427It's funny because the last episode shows that the young girl is being manipulated by the people from her village. They are singing and are acting very human to give her a false impression of what being part of the hivemind is like. So the survivors are being manipulated to accept the fusion. Lakshmi is probably being manipulated by her "son", who pretend to still be a normal son and Carol has probably been manipulated by Zosia who looks like her fantasy character. They can't tell direct lies, but they can pretend and manipulate. One of the reason Carol has a different view than the others is not because she's american, it's because she lost the only person that was close to her during the fusion while the pro fusion survivors stayed with their closed ones.
>>216917043more like PS1 gameplay
>>216913965
>>216917295I also didn't notice when I watched the episode. I think it's because your eyes only focus on the smartphone and their struggle.
>>216914294>Made in Heaven
>>216913928Most (and probably only) based character in that show. The fact redditors call him an hyperrapist just makes him baseder.
Ze childrenBring zem to me
>>216917079>>he is in possession of Air Force one and the nuclear footballI don't think that makes you president :/>>he is black>>he is a rapistokay might be enough for a DNC nomination
>>216917327anyone have that photo of the culdesac set from the sky with the "come back" painted on the ground?
>>216917479You know he at least gave it a go once
>>216916597it doesnt work like that, merging actually adds up everyone's IQ
>>216917327>>216917428How the fuck. Granted there were some obvious bad greenscreens here and there, but I somehow didn't notice any at the cul-de-sac
>>216917534The Plurb is way too retarded for that
>>216917520If it were me I’d have had air force one filled with kids by the first time we meet him (approximately 1 day and 17 hours after the outbreak)
>>216916838You're either baiting or retarded. I'm european too btw. People like you don't understand that the hivelind is one person with 7 billions bodies, if you join, you are dead. 7 billion people died and got replaced by one
>>216917550I think that was the first one. There are some speculations why they didn't just film at location.Like it's a fight between the actual actors and not stuntmen. Someone said that means it has to be filmed in a padded studio? It's also possible it was a re-shoot when they had already wrapped up filming. And it would have been too costly to drive everyone back to set.
>>216917608That's a reddit repost
>>216917608Wrong.
Why does she look euphoric, like she’s having an orgasm?
>>216917728They are all drugged out of their mind.
>>216917359There are some valid criticisms to the show, but I don't think being woke is one of them.
>>216917461>hyperrapistwhat
>>216917728Because diabetes is already eating her out
>>216916838>Redditors would love nothing more than to join a hivemindShit writes itself
>>216917611Maybe the weather wouldn't have matched.
ITT: characters who have done NOTHING wrong
>>216914866its not an atom bombthe way she said 'its an atom bomb' is probably joking -- its likely radio stuff
>>216917843Carol is too much of a dumbass to get anything useful
>>216917838but he's brown
>>216917838>Your honor, all Plurbs share the combined memories of humanity, so technically she was thousands of years old!
the cure is going to be tinfoil hats. this has been pointed out before, right?
>>216918003yea, too on the nose though
>>216917990>My client had her parents permission, Hell, she had the rest of the world’s permission!
>>216917990I laughed out loud at this
>>216918049is it? the infection event had chemtrails, I dont think anything could be too on the nose.
>>216916762that damn smile
>>216917728Because in the TV show they use dialogue to inform the audience that there is a euphoric feeling to being in the collective
Season 2: manussos gets deported by ICE
>>216918003>>216918049unironically mano will put a plurb in a faraday cage next season, but probably not until the end of the last episode and we won’t see what happens to a caged plurb until season 3 in 2035.
>>216918339Nah, he’s the first latam man to actually do his paperwork before coming, it’s sitting inside a booth at the border checkpoint
They will disconnect one plurb from the hive, but not reverse the effects. It will cause the hive to go into full meltdown and raze everything trying to retrieve the one plurb they have in a cage.
despite the male gaze i am still just a plurb in a cage
>>216918640>carol this one was a navy seal with 100 confirmed kills
>>216916680She's thiking of him....
Is Mano gonna punch Diabetus for collaborating with the enemy?
>>216918717How is denying their offer and continuing to use them as a fuckmeat carousel "collaborating"?
>>216918717who the fuck is diabetus
>>216918717>boss...don't you think it's time to join the plurb?
>>216916680The entire show has been "let's see how we can make Zosia suffer on today's episode"
>>216918758His name is Diabetus Cumbrain and he's from africa or india maybe
>>216914990In her position one of the first things I would ask is "Once you've turned everyone who is immune and have built your signal tower, what are you all going to do?"Because I imagine the answer is "nothing" seeing as how the hivemind doesn't seem to want to do anything beyond pleasing the immune, turning them when they can, sending the hivemind signal to another planet and stockpiling loose food while untold numbers of them starve and there's nothing to do, since all are content slaves with no master to serve.
MS13 comes all the way from Paraguay and tells you to get in the rape van
Get een de foggin ambulancia jew whore
>>216918788I am plurbroused
plurbed to death
>let's speak in my ambulance full of radio tech
The next person to say plurb is getting pistol whipped
pluribussy
>>216918717I wish we would've gotten one meeting between Manousos and Kusimayu before she became a plurb. I think he would've back handed her desu
>>216918925He would’ve passed her village on his way from Paraguay to the estados unidos. There will be a flashback scene in next series or the one after
>>216918925>*snaps fingers*>no more aunt talk, you go home and make babies for humanity
>>216919075Another way the plurbs lied to him by omission.
>/tv/tards criticizing Carol for fucking around when they would all be plurbpilled with a harem from day 1
>>216919238She’s a hypocritical whore though because she judges diabetes and she thinks her repeated raping of the sex trafficked polish woman is different because they have a special connection
Fun fact: if manusos decided he was just gonna rape the shit out of carol Zosia would not intervene because she wouldn’t want to take pleasure away from a human
>>216914742Actual list because I want to see how much really mattered:>Carol learns they're eating people, but only ones that have already died, and Diabetes and the others already know>Manousos gets Carol's video about this and goes to meet her>Zosia tells Carol they're building a giant antenna to transmit the signal to other planets>Carol fucks Zosia>Manousos arrives and wants to kill all the Plurbs>Manousos figures something out about the anomalous frequency he noted (maybe that their telepathy also occurs on that frequency)>Kusimayu becomes a Plurb>Carol learns the Plurbs are going to try to convert her by harvesting her stem cells from her frozen eggs>Carol gets an atom bomb and teams up with ManousosWorth noting that the last five of those were all in the finale.
>>216919238
Plurbs, please fly me to Europe and have Milena and Lola pick me up from the airport. Have them eat the gaseous Serbian food an hour before my arrival. After pickup, have them take me to their apartment where they'll react to my favorite kino while barefoot and I'm sitting in the middle. Close the windows to not let any air out and lock the doors.
>>216914243i can already tell what the music will sound likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQx45ONvork
It’s 10 minutes before the end of the season finale and the South American main character is looking up the word “loop” in an English dictionaryVINCE IS A SELF CENTRED CUNT I HOPE HE DIES
>>216919552kinooooooooooo
>>216913928Do you think they were wearing bikini's for this scene? Only bottoms maybe? Maybe there was some foot stuff happening beneath the bubbles ;)
>>216919438>barefootCringe, they should wear their white socks that they keep waving around right in front of the camera.
>>216914980Oh no lads they finally coming
>(sarcastic voice) ugh, *rolls eyes* you win Carol Sturca, what is this?>heh it’s le heckin atomic bombPure fucking Reddit
How do you even set off an atom bomb anyway, especially if you want to survive
>>216919807>what is a deterrent?
>>216919807Plurb it
>Her le box had... what?
>>216919828a deterrent only works if they think you can and will use it
>>216919828I mean the plurb would know if she doesn't know how to set it off, so it wouldn't be a good deterrent would it. I'm sure there's some kind of process to it not just flick a switch and run
>>216918709Damn she's gorgeous.
>>216919859nta but I think Carol would rather die than become a plurb and nuking herself is the deterrent
Just call them and ask for the detonator
>>216919858>I have become Plurbius, plurber of worlds
So if he thinks he can unplurb them, that means that everyone still alive has locked-in syndrome and they are completely conscious of what is going on but can't do anything about it while plurb.exe keeps chugging along and does its thing with their bodies?
Family friend of the Gilligans hereIn season 2 the signal is going to start reviving the dead and there will be a zombie outbreak. Zombie Helen is gonna come up from under the patio
>le atom bombGod what a reddit ass ending. Vince is a hack
>>216920341>heh *rolls eyes* you win, we save the world. I’ve got le atomic bombSuch a fucking Reddit ending I can’t believe I watched this shit in full. I came to my senses won’t bother watching season 2
>>216920341My thoughts exactly. Possibly the worst thing about the finale. So fucking gimmicky and stupid.
>>216917153This. Absolute hivemind levels of worship for this Vince slop.
It’s an allegory for colonization and the downsides of religion
>>216914207The Eternaut is pretty similar to Pluribus, although the plurb-like robot men hardly even appear in the first season and the second one is not out
When was the last time /tv/ was this raped by a show
>>216920143Dont think so. They are happy, drugged on happiness, so it's not like Gortash mother in BG3, screaming inside her head. If they got unplurbed they will go on the worst withdrawal ever.
>>216920053Yes but Carol has no way of detonating it
>>216920474And today that have been all about "it's about colonization bro!!!! It's about gay conversion therapy bro!!!"Ugh
I swear I've had some conversations on subs for this particular series that have me questioning my sanity and whether or not everyone's been kicked in the head. I know that sounds snobbish but I've seen everything from one person arguing that the plurbs have already won (when we've only just finished season 1) to someone who thought they were harmless and cared about consent.Feel like they're watching a different show.Not to be ageist, but I wonder if the confusion/shallowness/confusing conversations are because this is Gen Z’s “Breaking Bad”, and they have grown up with a very different kind of media than older folks have.
>>216920539People need to put down their fucking phones and actually watch a show with 100% attention
s2e1 will start with carol accidentally detonating the nuke, killing her and manousos. rest of the episode and season focuses on otgonbayar doing daily chores.
>>216920539So let me get this straight… you went on reddit and were surprised that they were pro-hivemind?
>>216920485No, Pluribus is about life during the COVID lockdowns, dealing with isolation, loneliness, and the mental toll of being stuck at home. The infection in the first episode makes it pretty obvious. The show also explores how the growing distrust in the government, health organizations, and the media added to the confusion and uncertainty people were already feeling.
>>216914243>what is she going to do with the bomb?She won't do anything with the bomb. But the shipping container is a faraday cage in which they will experiment on a captured plurb. The cage prevents plurb telepathy by blocking radio waves
>>216920800its also about AI even if vince denies it. plurbs can’t create, they can just steal thoughts and repeat them back.
>>216920534I'm sure they gave her a remote.
>>216920800The parallels to lockdowns are very superficial, but they are there.There are also superficial AI parallels with the way the plurbs act towards the survivors; very agreeable, not really able to describe what it feels like to be themselves, and completely unable to be creative.But the real meaning of the show is actually about overcoming addiction by rejecting false chemical happiness in favor of authentic existence with all its discomforts.It's even in the tagline>Happiness is a state of mind
Fresh Plurb pussy for Koumba
>>216919859She might use it. They can't take that risk.
>>216920885On the plus side, they probably won't develop AGI superintelligence to delete the human race. Maybe the Ayys send this message as part of an interstellar Butlerian Jihad of Meat vs Bots.
>>216919263She's not even polish, nor sex trafficked.She's just a random Moroccan woman.The plurbs gave her a fake polish name and accent because they estimated this would appeal best to Carol
>>216920716Nah she accidentally detonates the bomb in the first minute of season 2The rest of seasons 2, 3 and 4 are a Timelapse of the Albuquerque desert where the bomb exploded, first showing nuclear fallout, then emptiness, then life restartingThe montage is occasionally interrupted by the white clock coming across the screen telling you how many days have passedThis will be a record in terms of financial cost because Gilligan is insisting that Apple TV build and detonate a fully functioning nuclear warhead rather than use CGI
>>216914032>Zosia is going to hate Carol when she's unplurbednot like this yuri enjoyers...
From watching the first two episodes, the plurbs just seem like a (slightly) exaggerated version of liberals (in the common American use of the word)
>>216920920they took that risk when they fucking gave it to her
>>216920951Damn you’re rightCarol is more racist than I thought
>>216914977That's his field trip outfit. He probably has one of those timex expedition watches too.
>Men do all the work while women do nothing but bitch and moanUhhh Vince?Is this the message you want to send?
>>216920979You gotta spend less time on the internet
It's crazy the lengths that Vince Gilligan fans go to to defend this steaming pile of shit just because they worship at the altar of BB and BCS. Breaking Bad was a mediocre show for a mediocre audience by the way!
>>216920979Funny because Carol, despite asserting her independence and self-reliance, still relied on the hivemind for food, electricity, and garbage collection.
Raban is described as "proud and haughty"Not a placid, soothing pleaser like ZosiaYou know who else is proud and haughty?
>>216921028Well she is a woman still
>>216918925Yeah like he drives through the village and realizes with astonishment that she's not one of themThen tries to get her to come with him but she won'tYou'd think with 15m they could coordinate filming this
>>216920910miranda cosgrove
>>216921055Is Manousos considered haughty? He ended up fishing her phone back for her and using it to translate. And he was right about devices being in her house that she doesn't know about.Unless you're talking about Carol.
>carol and manuel unplurb everyone>cuts to a penthouse in vegas>lots of women in bikinis chasing diabetes>zooms in on diabetes>shit nigga I need a lawyer>better call Saul music starts playing >Matlock bursts into the penthouse
>>216917534They sure don't act like itThey act like complete midwitsThe whole collective mind of humanity fumbling around taking forever to figure out how to bypass Carol's immunity
>>216921028no, she just said she wanted her grocery store back the way it was before
>>216921128No I mean Manousos. Carol isn't haughty, she's pissy.Yeah Mano is haughty and a bit high handed. He orders her what to do and expects to be obeyed. Retrieving the phone is the one exception because he had no choice. He even has a sword.
>>216921140KEK>>216921155Nah it’s more than that bitch was even calling them for gatorades and fuel meanwhile manuel was fishing and siphoning
>>216921128I wonder if the plurbs would have thought about the yeggs if they weren't reminded. They have telepathy, but maybe they have limited bandwidth. Maybe they have a hard time crossreferencing knowledge between plurbbed individuals unless deliberately. The seizure for the first infected was pretty quick but when they gassed an entire town maybe they all couldn't upload at once because of interference/limited bandwidth. Then the kid that got plurbbed. She was unconsious for barely a few seconds. She was young - not much to upload, and maybe there wasn't much traffic int hat town.
>>216921184right, she isnt doing it because she needs it and cant get it on her own. she is doing it to make them do her bidding. i notice you arent crying about the so called "diabeetus" character who is relying on them to provide the entire city of vegas for him
>>216916838>You can only value individualism as an individual.Ignoring the obvious opening that you're basically telling the whole thread that you and your wife aren't individuals, the comment is on to something that I noticed on the show too, precisely when Carol asked the hivemind to restock her store for her.She just wants to keep on with her routine while enjoying the pleasures of modern civilization. To be actually on her own she'd have to learn survival skills including how to hunt and grow her own food.I wish the show explored this aspect more and dug into the concepts of collectivism vs individualism on a more intellectual level instead of just being a slow montage of Carol slinking around, getting drunk and being lazy making home videos.
It's not very good, I'm just going to say it. I'll give the finale a watch because sunk cost fallacy, but this show was the most over hyped thing I've seen in years.Kinda feels like he saw all that eventual praise for the "fly" episode of Breaking Bad and decided to do a show that's almost always that slow.If this show wasn't on Apple TV, people would easily just say it's a B- show.
>>216921312you were filtered
new thread pls
>>216920974Zosia wears a wig, how the fuck did Carol not notice this?
This show is better than Breaking Bad
>>216914032You can tell a woman made this because the song choice is retarded
>>216921055Is his mind going to end up in Zosia's body, creating the ultimate pirate love interest for Carol?
>>216920885Vince seems embarrassed about how transparent the allegory is so he wants to pretend like it's way deeper than that. The most you could say is that it's also about capitalism vs. communism and, as that other anon said, COVID and the lockdowns. Even the harvesting of Carol's stem cells through her eggs parallels the harvesting of data by AI despite any directly malicious behavior.
>>216921521Nah she'll make him dinner while he's working on the antiplurb transmitter and they'll hold hands
>>216921576I still think there's a deeper analogy about substance addiction.
