>>217102837
Because what you really wanted to watch was pic related. And that's ok because it's the better show. I can't remember a series that has done this kind of mystery box apocalypse thing better than pic related in fuck knows how long. Just a sensible show with sensible characters that keep the mystery at the forefront and the character drama is secondary. It's no surprise that the best moments of both shows are when one or multiple characters spend time trying to work out wtf is happening and that's what most people (men, most likely) want to watch, and not a post wall Rita Seehorn eat pray loving her way through an apocalypse.
The Walking Dead went to absolute shit (for me) after the CDC blew up in season 1 and they stopped giving a shit about what caused the outbreak and instead focused on gay character drama. From shines when they're trying to work out what is happening and becomes skip city when there's 2 lesbians on the screen preambling about scissoring. There's enough of this shit on TV and you're just wasting arguably one of the most interesting takes on the end of the world ala Pluribus when you focus on character drama

Personally I just want to voice that humanity should build a transmitter of our own and send out something that forces every sapient species that comes in contact with it to individuate, balkanize and militarise, leading to a vast and diverse galaxy of small hostile races which we can test our strength against when or if we get our shit together and also use as a buffer for fucking off communist ayys out there. Even if we don't survive our creations, it's the Right thing to do.

A new Plurb pussy for Koumba's collection

Is it possible that the plurbed aren't actually in some happy high state but more akin to prisoners in their own body, watching as their words and actions are controlled by a different entity?

It would explain Manousos saying they're better off dead if not saved. He probably got unplurbed (there's no way they wouldn't have detected him early on).

How fast do you think he had her flown to him when he heard she plurbed out?

>>217102865
True, people aren't interesting. Only NPCs need to see people being people, everyone with a Faustian soul already knows everything there is to know about real people and has the intelligence to appreciate the unknown and imaginary instead.
>>
>>217102921
Suck my dick autist
>>
>>217102952
It's more plausible that the plurbed aren't conscious beings at all, just simulacra. Manousos didn't get joined because he wasn't around people when it happened so they didn't know he wasn't dead. His position is what makes sense to him.

I was enjoying the hell out of From until season 3 when it devolved into gay drama with no story developments and the Iranian chick and her mulatto husband became the central focus of the season. I regularly skipped their scenes while watching season 1 and 2 since I caught on that they were boring filler characters and nothing of value was lost from pretending they didn't exist.
>The Walking Dead went to absolute shit (for me) after the CDC blew up in season 1
I dropped it during season 2. I called it "life on a farm".
I later found out it was because Frank Darabont was fired for fuck knows what reason and they brought in some retard who made melodramatic bullshit for wine aunts.

Pluribus is not as bad as these other shows in this regard. I get where you're coming from and I hate needless drama faggotry that serves no purpose--no character dev, no genuine tension, no plot relevance, just manufactured drama for the sake of drama--but Pluribus is actually building up the characters, showing you who they are and setting the tone for the world.
It's slow, but never pointless.

>>217103219
They knew he wasn't with them. They didn't know he survived the infection stage, some didn't even get as far as Helen.
I guarantee that if he was an unplurb they would react very differently to him. They were willing to make Zosia kill herself when she was lagging, they know what's at stake.

Just watched ep1&2 after being exposed to little more than the premise. I'm 100% certain this has been done to death by this point but holy shit Gilligan really made a Rick&Morty episode into a dramatic series.

As I type, I'm watching Return of the Archons from original Trek. It's the same premise. They're all into a quasi-hive mind, and when necessary, Landru binds them all together into one for big tasks. Peace be unto you!

YOU'RE NOT OF THE BODY! TRAITORS! LAWGIVERS! THEY'RE NOT OF THE BODY!

This hive mind isn't exactly concerned with keeping individual units happy, especially if they resist.

Also, this episode has a Saturnalia type thing, the "Red Hour", from ancient days and the prototype for The Purge. I guess being in The Body needs a break from time to time.

They got turned because of chemtrails in the sky. The hivemind figured out how to do that later. At first the virus only gets transmitted via bodily fluids.

i never read any of the comics so i was genuinely surprised about the army of beetles that looked kind of out of place and it wasn't really in a good way, but it didnt detract from the show much. its smartly written with smart characters that rarely do dumb shit. theres also very little bullshit character drama that pervades so many other shows of this type

I just finished binging this. I was all set for the slow pace that I've heard complaints about. I was enjoying watching Carol dealing with this her own way. Her small issues of dealing with daily shopping or the local wild life. Her eventual abandonment from both the collective and survivors. All of this captured nicely with the high production cinematography, music, and Rhea Seehorn's performance.
They they finally showed Manousos and his journey. That's when I realized what was actually interesting to me about the show. How it's an episode of The Twilight Zone being explored beyond it's usual runtime. I get the complaints now and agree with people like >>217102865

>>217109718
ok here is what I DON'T like and kinda has taken me out of the show: Carol buying in to the idea that Zosia is some kind of real person that she can pretend to have a normal life or whatever with like I get she's lonely but it feels really stupid to watch this cynical angry miserable fuck be that desperate when literally nothing changed except that she was deprived of contact for one month. I understand she'd be relieved to not be alone anymore but going all the way into delululand was too dumb for me. It honestly made me bored. she's back out when she realizes "oh shit nothing's actually changed!" but yeah I knew that thank you for wasting 2 episodes on shit that was obviously going nowhere and was out of character anyway.

It's a common narrative device to have your hero give in to the temptations of the villains for a while and then get back on their mission. But that should have happened in the middle of the season, not at the end.
That's why season 1 feels like half a season.

I'm on episode 5 and I really want to like the show, but it's annoying me that the character has the amalgamation of all human knowledge that cannot lie and willing to answer just about any question, but she doesn't really ask anything interesting.

if all non-plurbs, except for Manos and carol, love the plurbs and are actually trying to save them, why did not one of them try to kill carol yet?
Carol's two tantrums probably killed up to 300 millions plurbs, the non-plurbs really shouldn't accept her just living normally, being able to do it gain.

>>217112994
Plurbs do not get involved with interpersonal beefs. Laxmi could try to kill Carol, but she would have to do it herself, and the plurbs would warn Carol well before she got there.

They are NPCs who can't think outside of their narrow frame of reference from the pre-plurbing time. They think shunning her socially is already the worst thing they can do.
They would never ask for nukes or do anything their fake plurb family members and neighbors might dislike.

I believe plurbs value non-assimilated life because it means more hosts to snatch. It may be silly when you consider that there are only 12 of them compared to billions of assimilated humans, but if one of the biological imperatives is to snatch every possible available host, it makes sense that the virus doesn't ever want to harm life. In fact, plants may be carriers of the virus too which would explain why plurbs don't even want to harvest crops.

The abundance of 40kiddie posters who hate the show because the MC isn't an anti-xeno fanatical autist who dedicates every waking moment to saving the world is just ridiculous. That's essentially what Manousos is, and I am almost certain that he will be an antagonist in the show.

The conflict between the comfort of living like a king with the plurbs and the nagging feeling telling Carol that doing so is wrong is the driving force of the story. Taking that away would make it an isekai anime where the ending is never in doubt because the retard protagonist's human spirit can never lose.

I also find that the "nothing happens" criticism is pretty silly for a show that has had over a billion human deaths and the successful occupation of Earth.

It should have a story arc. All we accomplished in 9 episodes is harden the MCs resolve and to bring the second main character (probably) to her.

The drone getting caught on the streetlight was the funniest scene in a television show I’ve seen in years.

It was perfect. No dialogue nor context needed. Just a very upset and unimpressed woman taking joy in utilizing a rigid systems’s shortcomings and watching it struggle and fail to do anything but crash into abject failure.

I thought it was the best piece of (nearly) silent humor I’ve seen in years.

I can talk for days about the philosophical implications of Pluribus, but that scene was pure comedy gold.

Anyone else agree, or have you all become part of the hive mind?

people hate the "personal dramas" part of these sci fi mystery box type shows but Carol is such a fucking piece of work it had me genuinely wanting to know what the fuck happened to this woman to make her hate being alive so much despite the basically dream life she had. the way she acts is not fucking normal and as far as I can tell she's not on any meds for that specifically which you would think someone like her would be. so maybe there's no medical excuse but I still feel it warrants an explanation of some kind.

she's a lesbian
that's a miserable existence

What is the mechanism of why the plurbs feel so completely happy as if they're in heaven? How are they in that state, on account of them just being unified? People wouldn't automatically achieve inner peace when they're joined together telepathically, because people aren't inherently in some blissful state.

if you're a hivemind there's literally no reason to experience any kind of negative emotions because all of the things that cause one to have fear, hate, despair, etc are mitigated by being one mind and embodying the entire human experience and knowledge at once
>>
>>217117085
they're probably being bombarded with serotonin and dopamine
>>
>>217117174
you can and will develop resistance to those chemicals if you're bombarded with them constantly, it has to be deeper than that

>>217117143
Feel free to elaborate, this is pretty vague and I don't blame you because the show doesn't give much. Carol never bothered to ask more than a few questions.

How has the hivemind of billions of people reached the conclusion that human existence is fulfilled? What's the standard of completion, because in 10 years humanity goes extinct. Perhaps the unification means an erasing of will to achieve anything, somehow. Wouldn't humanity still want to accomplish goals? Every individual wants things, but the hive is like some monk who doesn't want anythin.

>>217117174
This. Zosia lists the feel good chemicals in your brain and mentions "it gets even better", being plurbed is a constant high. Kusimayu first reaction from being connected was to have a large smile.
>>
>>217117335
>Feel free to elaborate, this is pretty vague and I don't blame you because the show doesn't give much.
that was my interpretation. when Carol is asking them if they liked her books they kinda make it seem like they operate that way. because surely there were people who hated her books and thought they were shit. but now the people who have held those opinions are one with the people for who her books gave them real happiness and improved their lives. so what use is there for the feelings of hating the book anymore? so I think it kinda works like that for everything. feelings of happiness, love, etc are stronger and shared by more people so they kind of override negative ones that are useless and fall by the wayside. even when you're not a hivemind most people will have more positive feelings towards something they don't like after being exposed to it more and understanding it better. it's just that phenomenon happening within the plurb. that's my theory or whatever.
>>
>>217117335
Plurbs act by biological impulse, and many of the hivemind shenanigans occur at subconscious level. Zosia explains that they don't share sensorial input and many things they just know, it happens on subconscious level. My take is that the personality/person consciousness is there to a degree, but the hivemind is like the voice of Saruman, it makes sense, you agree with it, it remains in your subconscious. Add to that the plurb directives (do no harm, love everyone, spread) and the feel good chemicals in the brain, and you have the drones being so cooperative to the uninfected.
>>
>>217117335
I mean some people have a natural resistance but they're really rare. Like the way the Peruvian girl acted she looks likely to have that type of personality. There's also people who developed a resistance from previous drug use, namely heroin addicts but I don't think any of the immune has done hard drugs. Maybe Koumba.

Heroin is a crazy drug, it fires all of your synaptics at once this is why most people who are addicted to it just chasing that first high. Their brains are rewired to depend upon it, heroin addicts are miserable all the time.

>>217117942
To be fair if we go by that route plurbs would be freeze in place trying to conciliating every opposite view and feeling. They are both victim and perpetrator. They would experience the memory of every violence and abuse as both sides. I don't think their bliss comes from understanding each other motives, their personalities are all rewritten to a degree (remember Manousos telling his mother that she wasn't a nice person like the one in front of him)

>Bad Version
They are high on drugs/hormones. Good little drones that just do what they are told.

>Cursed Version
They don't have any emotions. They are effectively puppets controlled by the hivemind. The hivemind just controls their facial muscles to makes them appear happy. The hivemind simply lies when asked about it in order to lure in more suckers.

>Hellish Version
Same as "Cursed Version", but their egos are still alive, but trapped inside of their heads. They are screaming into the void while their bodies move against their will.

I've thought about this too.
And I think the answer is simple: this show is riding on the idea that these plurbs are quirky and awkward. It's solely for the viewer.
If this were real, Carol would ask them to stop constantly greeting her, and she'd probably also ask to record a more verbose answering machine message.
But we can't have her doing that! Because then we couldn't fill the episodes with quirky plurb scenes

I think it's no coincidence Carol and Zosia talked about "happy" chemicals in the brain during their little vacation. Plurbs claim that they are very happy all the time and we know they can't lie. I think the virus is just constantly pumping their brains full of dopamine, serotonin and whatnot, artificially inducing happiness while puppeteering them.

Can someone explain to me why Helen would be monitoring Carol's drinking because she had her eggs FROZEN?

Freezing them means that they weren't ready to have kids yet. Why would she care if Carol drank? Plus, I would assume that Helen would be the one who actually carried the kid.
>>
>>217120634
Carol should by no means ever be a mother. I'm surprised Helen wanted kids with her at all
>>
>>217120634
Because heavy drinking can still damage her eggs before they're extracted? Of course her previous heavy drinking would have already done that, but still, why do more damage? Also Helen could have just wanted to spy on her drinking regardless of the eggs.
>>
>>217120634
Alcohol has a negative effect on egg quality
>>
>>217120734
not quality, quantity. you're thinking of sperm.

>“some studies suggest that chronic, heavy drinking can lead to diminished ovarian reserve (low quantity of eggs).”
and it's more important to overall fertility like you're less able to actually get pregnant but that shouldn't matter for just harvesting them
>>
don't you guys think the
>we refuse to harvest plants so we're simply reserved to starve to death
is really stupid? so plurbs love their hivemind so much they're willing to forcibly join people into it against their will but they are NOT willing to pick vegetables to keep it alive? explain that. Carol is "drowning" and has to be saved so she can starve to death with the entire rest of them? make it make sense.
>>
>>217120940
The plurb virus is likely intentionally designed to kneecap and starve intelligent species to death.

Alternatively, the species could have a strong biological imperative to procreate/spread, while having a diminished or even non-existent imperative for self-preservation. Similar to salmon, some spiders, and some other fish who always die after mating.
>>
>>217120940
also fruit and vegetables are literally made to be eaten by other creatures so the seeds can be shit out and that's literally how plants propagate themselves. it's not "killing life" it's literally part of the life cycle. it just quite literally makes no FUCKING sense any way you look at it.

>>
>>217120940
Yeah this bugs me about the show too. My head cannon on this is that all life is a potential carrier of the virus so they wanna preserve it. Even if humans are extinct after sending the signal, the plants remain there carrying the virus? Still like the anon above said picking a fucking apple should be fair game
>>
>>217121238
actually i think it could have been good but without the long pretentious silent shots where nothing happens. s1 should have ended halfway thru the movie or limited series.
>>
>>217120940
It's weird, but we don't know if it's weird because it will serve the plot beyond the "we're running out of resources" or if the writers are just retarded.
>>

>>217121274
>>217120940
>>217121004
Why do you assume that the plurbs care at all about preserving their drones when it is obvious that is not the case?
>>
>>217121502
it's not "obvious that is not the case" but I'm amenable to the argument that they don't actually care about preserving the plurb they're just content to ride it out for as long as it lasts. it's just the fact that the "problem" of them starving was even brought up and that they figured out the HDP thing to try to mitigate it would suggest that they do care about not starving in order to keep the plurb alive.
>>
>>217121502
I never said they'd want to keep humans. Humans just happen to be the only species on Earth intelligent enough to build the antenna, at which point their job will be done. But other life may just carry the virus. Why wouldn't the virus want to keep Earth infectious for potential future visitors even after the humans are gone?
>>
>>217121502
They seem to care about life that is immune over life that is a part of the hivemind. They assume that animals want to be free, plants doesn't want to be picked but humans somehow needed to be turned. The plot made no sense but neither did BB and BCS.

Like Walt had a friend that was willing to pay for his cancer treatment but he choose to sell meth instead.
>>
>>217121584
how are you going to keep Earth infectious when any sentient species you inhabit will starve to death because you refuse to end life? the only thing that could happen is after the last living things on Earth starve to death their bodies will decay and the virus will end up back in plants somehow that some future visitors might eat. and that is not going to plurb anyone because the only way it worked the first time was through mass dispersal.
>>
>>217121502
They say that the signal coming from Kepler might have been going for all of human history as far as we know. If you want any hope of someone else receiving the signal you have to keep it running. Plurbs will probably just want to keep the minimum number of puppets needed to run that because they have everyone else's consciousness already so the bodies don't matter
>>
>>217121642
The Earth can continue to exist without humans, my man. We already know animals carry the virus, apparently without being affected by it. Nature will just continue to function while carrying the virus
>>
>>217121570
>it's not "obvious that is not the case"
The plurbs threw away hundreds, if not thousands of lives freeing dangerous animals from captivity. They say so themselves. They are actively choosing to starve billions, though the supply of HDP from the joining and Carol/Manousos's outbursts has probably delayed that a great deal. They don't seem to mind when Carol has emotional outbursts that kill millions, so long as she isn't interrogating a drone to try and find out how to kill the entire plurb.

We have seen that they will try to feed everyone with HDP, and they do take care of the disabled and pets (from the arena sleeping scene). It would seem to me that this is done for the benefit of the immune, and the HDP serves to maintain a workforce to build the antennae. But as a whole, I think the plurb is done with people once that signal goes out.
>>
>>217121708
>apparently without being affected by it.
that's not apparent at-fucking-all. and it makes no fucking sense if your virus is designed in such a way that only a human level intelligence could ever be the ones to create and propagate it in the first place and all it does is then obliterate that species. non-sentient animals without hands cannot keep that going.
>>
>>217121769
>>217121708
so what I'm getting at is the only thing that would make sense to me is if the plurb signal is just a really peaceful and passive way to exterminate planets of intelligent life
>>
Someone post the webm of Mike licking, sucking, and biting Rhea's shoulder, please
>>
>>217121660
>If you want any hope of someone else receiving the signal you have to keep it running.

In the grand scheme of things, the difference between total human extinction and the preservation of a small group of lobotomized gatherer drones who exist solely to keep the signal going is pretty negligible.
>>
>>217122004
Now you're getting it.
>>
>>217121769
>that's not apparent at-fucking-al
Did you miss the part where the researchers say there are no clinical signs whatsoever after testing it on a bunch of different animals? You think while monitoring them they wouldn't notice the twitching and conversion happening? The virus clearly targets intelligent life. If you can read and interpret the signal, you're probably advanced enough to emit a new one, spreading the virus.

>>217122004
This is exactly what I think. It seems like a way to neuter intelligent life which may be a potential threat to the original creators of the virus. They just emit a signal which captures intelligent life, makes it send a new signal and extinguishes itself. And obviously the original creators would have a vaccine for this shit
>>
>>217122068
there's no "clinical" signs in humans either. they just go through a process and then they're linked in. there's no way to know unless you're aware of their thoughts and feelings. that isn't anything they were looking for in a lab setting in animals. they could be experiencing similar things that humans are.
>>
so can the plurbs lie or not? is the individual still inside the plurb somewhere deep down?
>>
>>217122112
actually nevermind I remembered that this is disproven by Beijing lady saying she saw a freed zoo giraffe was eating leaves. so the animals won't starve to death. and I'm assuming zoo animals are infected because they were all breathing the same air as everyone else.
>>
>>217122112
The process of conversion itself wouldn't have gone unnoticed with hundreds of animals being closely watched. From what the show has shown us, it's quite clear when an organism is joining.
>>
>>217122165
that's not the point. the point is "without being affected by it" which we have no proof of because you can't tell if even a human is "affected" without talking to them and having them tell you they're part of the plurb. it's a behavioral symptom not a "clinical" one to know if one is "affected" by the virus.
>>
>>217122205
Okay, and my point is the show pretty blatantly tells us it doesn't work on animals.
>>
>>217122152
We have not seen the plurbs lie (that we know of). But we do know that they can withhold information by refusing to speak.

Effectively, one can still figure out a great deal by figuring out what they refuse to speak about.
>>
>>217102798

>so can the plurbs lie or not?
Only by omission or withholding information
>is the individual still inside the plurb somewhere deep down?
No way to tell by now. If a person is defined by their memories and brain chemicals, and the virus irreversibly alters them it could mean that the personality is destroyed

I just finished Episode 3. Really loving it so far. It's refreshing to watch a new show that isn't just empty mystery box horseshit. The story so far is really well plotted and takes its time without feeling like it's stalling. The little set ups and payoffs are clever and well done.
>>
>>217122161
No animals have been shown to be affected or infected aside from the first rat, which was lying in wait until it bit patient 0. All the other animals seem to do just normal animal things without any influence from the hive mind, and they don't seem to be interested in controlling them at any level either. It seems more like the hive mind is "setting the stage" for whatever alien that sent the message to come and inhabit new planets without any form of intelligent resistance.
>>
what if people convulse when being plurbed because they are experiencing a brain-shattering orgasm before the lights go out
>>
>>217122152
>so can the plurbs lie or not? i
If I was a super intelligence then I would also make the mortal think I can't lie. That makes strategical lying all the more valuable.

>is the individual still inside the plurb somewhere deep down?
It's possible, but it is definitely suppressed pretty tightly as we could see with the Kusimayo scene. She (or the thing that replaced her) drops everything she ever cared about straight away.
>>
>>217122365
I can't imagine this show doing the actual alien arrival though, so if this turns out the big twist at the end after 4 seasons and it's already this obvious that's gonna suck
>>
>>217122477
honestly I think it will be kind of refreshing if they go with the obvious thing because not every fucking thing needs to be a "twist." if that was indeed their plan it was a pretty brilliant one and seeing how it would play out is interesting in and of itself. plus I'm the kind of person who loves really bleak stuff like that when it comes to humans and aliens. like yeah nah, the indomitably of the human spirit is actually no match for aliens. sorry fags.
>>
>>217122532
I mean yeah I don't need some big convoluted twist, I'm just saying I don't want them to try and pull this twist off as the big final twist at the end of the last season. If they reveal this at the end of season 2 and then the rest of the show is figuring out what to do about the alien arrival that can be explored nicely

Which celeb would they bring to convince you to get plurbed?

What exactly would showing the alien arrival do? If the immune haven't solved the problem by the time the aliens show up they've lost already. And if the ending is the immune losing, people will be pissed anyways.

I could see the show ending on an alien arrival or cliff-hanger-ish confrontation, but the hive mind is also unaware of the nature of their creators. There's still stuff to explore around reversion and the survivors' abilities to order the hive mind around, more or less. Ultimately, there is a limit to how much you could satisfyingly explore the situation, so I'd prefer if they kept it shorter too.
>>
>>217122738
Thinking about it, the senders of the signal have no way of knowing when exactly the signal was detected and if the virus has spread. They probably keep these antennae emitting for a long time from already infected planets. I mean it may not even be about the aliens taking over other planets, it may just be about controlling all intelligent life and making it a non-threat to them.
>>
the more I think about it the more genius the whole signal idea is because, I was thinking about the "peacefully exterminate intelligent life" thing. but there's more than that. the signal assumes that the receivers of the signal will decode it into an RNA sequence. that would make it so that these aliens devised something that would only affect not only all intelligent life but specifically targeted to life that exists on a planet with basic biologically similarity to their own. that's why the signal wasn't mathematical.

the atom bomb thing at the end is kind of (mildly but not really) funny but also it seems really retarded and confused because....is Carol so fucking retarded that she thinks one bomb is going to make the other 700 billion plurbs on the planet extinct? like it's some kind of "insurance" if they don't managed to figure out how to "save the world." it's nothing more than the most convoluted and retarded suicide for herself and nothing else. what am I supposed to take from it? it just makes Carol seem really, really, really, really retarded and butthurt. which is fine but, it's not like that's new information or a change in character or anything.

There is not a single trope relating to Manousos on the Plurb tvtropes page
>>
>>217124274
that's weird because he seemed pretty tropey
>>
>>217124194
I think it's more that Carol is both entertained by just having an atom bomb, and that if she were to go, she would go out with a bang... so to speak. She's not really interested in actually harming any of the drones either, but she also doesn't want to be converted. Having the bomb and saving humanity aren't related (yet).
>>
>>217124384
>and that if she were to go, she would go out with a bang... so to speak.
the funny thing to me is that she would have no idea how to actually detonate it if she finally tried to and would have to call up the plurbs and ask for instructions

The coral and the pluribus share some characteristics, in that it's a hivemind made up of the spirits of humans. There's a bunch of differences too though.

Vince is trying to have us believe that a Karen and a beaner is going to save the world?
>>
>>217124506
my meta social commentary take on it is that it's saying how the most cynical hateful antisocial independent introverted etc etc type of people might be able to keep themselves alive but their inherent aversion to connection and community will make it so that they can never build anything greater. as someone who identifies with Carol and Manousos, I feel like this is what the show is telling me.

>>
>>217124506
Carol will save the world. Manousos will go off the deep end and and start torturing and mass-murdering plurbs at which point the other immunes will be forced to deal with him.

They're going to put someone in a Faray cage and that's going to work, but that person is going to go insane because they can't handle not being "happy", they'll kill themselves on the spot.

I'm not a space opera/Dune type of guy, someone here recommended The Expanse and I hated it. I'm more of an Independence Day Alien invasion or hard science like The Martian/Contact/Intestellar type of guy.

So my favorite two are This and F A M.

Invasion is not a quarter as good as Pluribus, but feel free to watch it.

He is much more caring and thoughtful than Karen. He tried to compensate everything he took along the way to New Mexico. He was even courteous enough to warn the hivemind that he was about to REEEEEE at it. Despite being injured he got on his hands and knees to retrieve that stupid bitch's phone. He is St. Manny.

>>217124555
My take on it is that it's saying how the most cynical hateful antisocial independent introverted etc etc type of people still have the spark of humanity in them and are all that is needed to ensure mankind's survival even in its darkest moments.

His name is Manousos Oviedos, he is not one of them, he wants to save the world.

>>217106513
she got her skull cracked on the pavement when she fell, which i want to guess is how the 800million dead of humanity came from aside from like choking on their on tongue when seizing up or crashing their cars/planes while driving or flying
>>
>>217124712
Manousos's obstinance and stupidity retarded his researching the plurbs for months. He is unwilling to consider alternate viewpoints and is unwilling to work with others.

He's going to be Pluribus's rough equivalent to Wade in the Remembrance of Earth series - his superpower is his dedication, but ultimately he's a deleterious asshole.
>>
>>217124798
like, she was clearly her happiest working her temp job writing her book that made her famous and afforded her her lovely huge house and lifestyle and loving wife. all that happened after her heroin and conversion therapy. so what the fuck is her excuse for her at 40 years old to be acting this way?

i treat the books and the show as seperate enitities as the best parts of the show (Clone emperor drama) was completely made up for the show and the worst parts of the show were them fucking up adapting from the book material.
The last season with the mule sucked though

All addicts are like this, they're always miserable and chasing the next dopamine hit to feel alive. This is why a lot of these wing suit or base jumping idiots are also on some sort of hard drugs. This is also why I think some of the plurbs in the hospital has to remain sedated because they're not fully plurb due to the drug abuse.
>>
>>217124834
I imagine that it's not necessarily the bonk on the head that killed her, but that like Carol being immune, there are also millions of people that the virus just straight up killed in a failed conversion attempt.

plurbs got around imho the question of survivors - there MUST BE ones underground, underwater and in space. plurbs had 1 month till they went all in - and sure as shit they could not act human or even use "I" without crashing out.

Look anon. I am one dude who has no technical knowledge to save humanity from a futa bimbo RNA virus.

If I know that I am alone, my options are:
>become overpowered by the futa harem and be raped (anally and via their pussy to my cock, at the same time) as a slave for the rest of my existence
>join the hive and get to have PiV sex both ways at the same time constantly for the rest of my life
I'd take the latter. If I'm still conscious in any way I'm in a state of perpetually horny bliss. If I'm completely assimilated I'm dead, which is still worse than getting ass and mouth raped until I die of natural causes.

>>217125140
This. If Carol was a white man you'd all be calling Manousous a retarded brown chimp. It's all so tiresome.

he wouldn't be doing "the exact same shit" because men are capable of being logical, rational humans with actual values and impetus (see Manousos) but go off kween

Does this person literally know anything about modern women? They film themselves crying on TikTok when a man doesn't understand her blinking patterns were a way to let him know she's interested in him.

How he would know? For all he got he was surrounded by "weirdos", "possessed" people. He only figured Carol wasn't one of them because she cursed at her.
>He is unwilling to consider alternate viewpoints and is unwilling to work with others.
He literally crossed the Americas and almost died trying to reach a fellow survivor. Manousos was the only one who acted as a real survivor in an apocaliptic scenario. He had all reasons to be suspicious of everyone.
>>
>>217126252
>How he would know?
he could have stood 10 ft away on the safe side of the fence and attempted to speak to the person leaving him food everyday instead of being a literal fucking mongoloid. and that's just for starters. his entire arc is premised on the idea that he is fucking stupid. otherwise it would have never happened that way. he learns what every non-plurb in the world knows months and months after they do. he is fucking stupid.
>>
I've just finished this series and this thread is on page 10, make new so I can post my 1 single thought I had about it
>>
>>217126348
He basically knew there was a weird mind-controlling virus already, but he didn't know that he was immune. He was holed up for weeks scanning radio signals, because presumably any mind-controlling virus can't be trusted.
>>
>>217126545
he didn't know shit. he was paranoid and hung up the phone on anyone that called even though they were struggling to speak spanish, which is something none of the plurbs would have done. he's a typical man who lacks the ability of pattern recognition typically known as "women's intuition" because men are so fucking bad at paying attention that they have to pretend it's some kind of superpower to avoid admitting they're deficient.
>>
>>217126581
