>>217190633for you
This was just an act, right? there's no way the plurbs sleep like this. THey say it's to conserve energy on heating/cooling, but look at all this fucking wastes space. Look at those shitty futon fucking sleeping bags on concrete. Zosha and Carol probably drove past 5 mattress stores to get to this place, and any one of them would make for a better communal sleep center.
>>217190974Its not enough space for the amount of people we know are living there but I think its just laziness and low budget in action. It does make a bit of sense that they wouldn't ALL sleep huddled together because diseases though.
>>217190974It was probably a sanitized version of reality. The plurb are pretty good at propaganda. Just look at that HDP infomercial.I assume most of them sleep in some tight spaces, bunched together, optimized for space and heating. They would not bother with a full stadium. What Zosia showed Carol was eerily similar to what you would see during a hurricane-type state of emergency where everyone has to work together and hunker down.
APOLOGIZE.
>>217191101And that's a good thing
Where is my giraffe plurb gf
Who's gonna be the first one to sneak in here and throw a pizza on Carol's roof

>>217191190You mean some old chinese lady?
>>217191055I still don't get. How plurbs reach consensus? Where they get their ideas? Such collectivism would make only sense if there is a central intelligence/a borg queen tier of control. How much of the Hivemind is a gestalt and how much is a collective like the Geth? From where such decisions came from? Why it needs to be so utilitarian? From where the command comes? I need answers.
How would you mog his harem of mids, /tv/?

>>217192528Easily
>>217192528first things first, I wouldnt go to vegas. I'd probably go to Universal Studios. The plurbs should be recreate any location I want with all the sets, props, and costumes they already have on site. There's also a shit ton of restaurants and other amenities right there, if I want to go out somewhere. With it being in hollywood, there's also no shortage of 10/10 models, actresses, and influincers I can fuck my way through.Not sure where I'd want to stay tho. Main Street might be cool, or maybe one of the resort hotels might make more sense.
>>217192669holy FUCK

>>217192528i'd one-up his harem by having ten twinks and ten BBWs carrying me on a palanquin. And i'd establish myself as the alpha by surviving on a vegan diet of breastmilk and cum.

>OOOOOOHHHH I'M PLURB-ACK!Carol is the type of dumbass who ends up shot in the head by ICE in minnesomalia.
>>217193366Actually, now that I think about it, if I'm already staying in Universal, It would be fun to turn Hogsmead into a harry potter themed sex LARP.find some lookalikes for 18yo Hermioni, luna, gini, etc
>>217194665Huh, big surprise >>217194146

See you in 2028, pluribros.
Hivemind, role play myself as a captured rebel from Star Wars being interrogated by Imperial Intelligence. Make the interrogator be Denise Gough reprising her Dedra character from Andor in full uniform. Make it where she plans to torture me herself for information except her idea of torture is sexually satisfying me. Put all phone calls from Carol on hold and lock the door.
>>217190519BRAVO VINCE
>>217191055I am really interested to see how exactly the plurbs live and in their own home, when no one else is watching. Like the kids. What the fuck do they have the kids doing? because we havn't seen any except for Laxmi's little crotch goblin. We know they don't need to go to school, but where the fuck are they?
>>217195702>headcanonit's true
>>217196553Huh what you mean. The kids are working like everyone else.
>>217196800oh yeah, I forgot they had that one extra. Still kinda weird that we don't see more, but im sure it probably has something to do with all the laws about having kids on a TV set
>>217196800starting at what age? and do babies have the same access to the hivemind knowledgebase or does it activate at a certain age?
>>2171905198 interesting episodes followed by a shit finale

>when she looks at you like this and asks you to hand over your stemcells
>>217193192All I could think of during this scene was:>My name is Manousos Oviedo. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
>>217194665She deserved it. I almost believed she was a real dyke.
>>217195257It'll be funny when they find Kusimaya in Vegas next season.

how does carol have so many 128gb sd cards?
>>217197559They cost like 12 bucks at this point. Just buy a dozen.
>>217197559she's a writer, anon. She probably uses them to store things she's working on. various drafts and backup copies and etc. You don't need that much space for text documents, so why bother with bigger cards
>>217197095thats harveys apartment wtf
>>217197559sex tapes with helen
>>217190519Just watched Severance season 2 and god damn it blows Pluriboring the fuck out.Things actually happen.
>>217197724Are they still in the office and slightly mysterious things keep happening?
>>217197743NTA, but they get to spend an episode outside and slightly mysterious things keep happening. IT'S MUST SEE TV!!!
>>217197678makes total senseonly reason why people have camcorders nowadays as well
>>217197743>>217197794We like mystery box shows when half the runtime isn’t spent listening to the same answering machine message in its entirety ten times, or inexplicable lingering closeups of Carol’s bare feet.
>>217197637Who the fuck stores documents on SD cards? SD cards primarily fit in photo and video cameras, but it's not uncommon to have multiple if you own any of those devices. She sends out 2, so she has at least 3. She also could have just ordered them in her drone care packages.
>>217197987>casting kino before the swine
>>217197794Season 2 was one of the biggest fuckups in modern entertainment. S1 was so well plotted and paced, and the finale shook up the status quo in just the right way and set up plenty of new threads, and then S2 was just one big cop out. I'm cautiously optimistic that Pluribus won't follow the same path because Vince swears he has a clear idea of where he wants the show to go in future seasons, but there's always the risk of Sony/Apple execs ruining it.
>>217198581You can put one in your laptop and use it as extra removable storage. Pretty useful actually. Especially with cheap shit laptops with little internal storage.
>>217197743Adam Scott wastes like 3 episodes working on a scheme to get a message to his innie only for black surgeon lady to just randomly drop in to tell him it won't work.
>>217190519You guys are actually watching this? After few episodes even my wife got fed up with the focus on a middle-aged white woman and the general female-centric point of view.
>>217198786it is what it is
>>217198786your wife sounds retarded
>>217191101It's a character study, yeah. Once you're over that and accepted that it's not primarily about exploring the origin of the hive mind or finding a way to reverse it, it's actually really good.
>>217198962^ midwit take< bigwit take
imagine watching this show and feeling the need to virtue signal to your faggot husband about how you hate women as much as he does
>>217198786Your wife was just impatient to get into bed with the bull.
>>217198978A character study about individuality vs. the collective, the nature of happiness, the meaning of life, and retarded lesbians.
>>217198786The problem with Carol is not that she is White
>>217199241This. The problem is she's American
>alien invasion but the aliens are your slavesLet’s say your goal was to return humanity to what it was originally. How would you do it? I feel like the solution should not be too difficult but I’m not too smart either.
>>217199867You'd have to find out what the virus did exactly with the bodies of the infected. There might be a new organ in the brain somewhere that controls the whole plurb business and acts as a biological radio transceiver. Then you could maybe disable the organ.
>>217192524>How plurbs reach consensus? Each human is a neuron, their memories are accessible when activated, like AI>Where they get their ideas? Such collectivism would make only sense if there is a central intelligence/a borg queen tier of control. They are an emergent single entity born of the data corpus. >How much of the Hivemind is a gestalt and how much is a collective like the Geth? From where such decisions came from? Why it needs to be so utilitarian? From where the command comes? I need answers.It's all emergent, tiny fundamental parts plus scale = capabilities and motivations that are powerful and reprogrammed. The utilitarian part is unspecified, it could also be emergent or it could be a deliberate feature to make the planet's intelligence destroy itself.They co-opt the planet's energy to send the mind virus signal, then die in the process.The originator comes along and takes the now empty planet.

>>217199867Boring. Let’s say it's day zero of the infection. Not in some lab with doctors and scientists, but right here with just us retards. Your goal is to plurb as many people as you can without getting caught. what do

>>217207756Because they're not built by individuals, but developers, and it's easier to develop homes near each other so that utilities can be routed to them all in one place rather than spread miles apart.
>>217191204Is this where the 150 million went?
>>217207050we haven't seen them without makeup
>it's a manousos suffers episode
>>217190519pity bump for culturally irrelevant shownot even Apple spamming ads can save it
>>217208077lol, funnily enough, it's not the show that's irrelevant. It's the entirety of apple TV that's irrelevant. The only apple threads that I've seen that dont need constant bumping is only on new episode days. A good friend of mine is a turbo consoomer who has literally every anime and streaming service, EXCEPT apple. I'm pretty sure the only people who even have an apple TV just got it forced on them with a bundle
>>217207821Nah, that definitely was a big cost factor, but nowhere near 135 million. Renting all of those planes and helicopters was definitely expensive too. Vince is a plane enthusiast and he definitely blew a lot of his bloated budget on those. They also filmed at location a lot, the Las Vegas stuff must have been expensive to film. Generally every time they have to empty out a big public space to make it look abandoned.
>>217207050Speak for yourself, I was always into them. Downside is that I know I'll never find 60+ women attractive, Helen Mirren minus a decade or so excluded.
>>217208205I don't know anyone who has an Apple TV subscription either. That said, I enjoyed a lot of their shows. Much more than the shit other streaming services put out lately. I liked Severance Season 1, For All Mankind, Silo (kinda) and now Pluribus.Still won't pay for it though
>>217208021Both Mano and Zosia are made for abuse
>>217208302>the Las Vegas stuff must have been expensive to film. Generally every time they have to empty out a big public space to make it look abandoned.Vegas Strip has actually been pretty fucked ever since covid. so probably not as expensive or hard as you might think to clear out a casino floor for a few hours. But yeah, they definitely spent a lot on renting locations
Just finished it in two day.Overall quite liked it.I suppose it's extremely slow, the content of each episode fits in 3 sentences.I like a lot of the scenery, but I still feel there's a lot of blue screen, even on the rooftops.Will there be an explanation for why they are capable of moving any vehicle but unlearned how to recognize sarcasm and the ins and outs of not being creepy? Or, given they have energy efficiency incentive, they make no recommendation of not using giant airplanes to fly 5 people?Also, why would it be against their rules to encourage breeding of cows and then just eating the dead. I mean if they let wild animals free, clearly they don't care to manage how many animals get eaten. I mean I suppose you can explain it by just postulating a strict hierarchy of desires, but yeah I don't know to which extent their selective passivity is coherent. I suppose it's to keep the tension, but imho Carol doesn't seem to ask many obvious questions when she could. Like, what are most people doing, apart from building a big signal thing.Not that a sci-fi show needs to be completely logical either, this is just what crossed my mind watching it.
>>217196800Everyone talks about the tattoo girl, but where's the love for the big booty nurse?
>>217208797>Will there be an explanation for why they are capable of moving any vehicle but unlearned how to recognize sarcasm and the ins and outs of not being creepyI assume its because they have access to the sum total of human knowledge, and can easily recall objective facts and stuff like that. But they have trouble dealing with the more intangible things like emotional nuance, because that is filtered through the subjective perception of many different people. also, the hive is still immature as a collective consciousness. They will learn to lie, hate, and even kill before the series is over
>>217208449Westgate is not really on the strip, it's on Paradise Rd which runs parallel to to the strip, but it's in the immediate area. Still it's a busy road, so shutting it down for even a day or two of filming would be a huge pain in the ass. But these days a lot of extraneous stuff can be erased with CGI, too. I think the scene where Carol watches the plurbs drive away on the hotel roof was entirely green screen.>t. vegasfag
>>217208797>>217209022They did recognize that Carol might have been being sarcastic, but as they are an inherently trusting collective, they also had reason to doubt that her words were insincere.>Also, why would it be against their rules to encourage breeding of cows and then just eating the dead.Their own starvation isn't a concern for them. And aside from that, enforcing any form of containment or control seems to be against their nature. They could also just overgrow to have enough "windfall", but again, they don't actually seem to care.
>>217209035>the scene where Carol watches the plurbs drive away on the hotel roof was entirely green screen.Yeah it was, but that one also looked horrible and was very obvious. Unlike the Las Vegas stuff.
>>217209373Well I want to act that with how the show is set up, I think it's a category error to think of it as being about collectivism at all.It's not too hard to read the whole thing as a "14 people left on earth" situation. It's not collectivism if several bodies think as one. Every action is following their own goals or incentives, not that of another individual. In that sense, "they" are individualistic. There's no two people where one would do a sacrifice or could put expectation on the other.desu this also plays into the no concern argument that you bring. It's true.where one of them is a retarded but powerful (and secretive, but merely due to it being written - the character just don't ask enough)---Ah and one blunder which strikes me as almost plot hole'ish is that when Carol is on the plane after airport scene, at the end of the episode, that she asks to get out to "stop the other plane". I mean the guys who let her out are the same as those going with the other plane.And if Carol would be let to put 1+1 together, she doesn't have to get out to signal that she wants the Pirate lady, she can just tell whoever is flying her own plane.
>>217208398lol yeah, i'm never paying for it either. But I have to admit, I do really appreciate the corporate strategy Apple TV is using. Apple as a whole is profitable enough that they can just make prestige TV award-bait and not fucking care that no one is paying for it
As someone with difficulty trusting/being comfortable around people the episodes feel less about world domination and more about the struggle to open up to others, allowing yourself to be vulnerable as well as rejecting happiness that comes with it. I won't say it moves me to tears but I look at Carol, Manousos rejecting others and clinging to their... separateness so strongly. At first I thought they weren't taken into the collective because of some trauma that caused them to reject the unity but other characters don't fit that explanation (and the girl who willingly joins the many is a very explicit inversion)
>>217209838good post
>>217208797Carol is a faulty character. She was going into the right direction only because of her shock and spite, and even then she ended up burning the bridges with other survivors because she lacks tact.In contrast, Manuosos is even more spiteful character but is capable of solving the epidemic. He's just going to need Carol and her accident based findings to reach the needed conclusions.>The originator comes along and takes the now empty planet.I doubt it. It makes more sense that the virus is merely self replicating and the originators might've even created it by accident and died out. Space travel would take enormous amount of resources and time to be worth it.
>>217209838>allowing yourself to be vulnerable as well as rejecting happiness that comes with ityeah, one of the things that jumped out at me was how literally they were acting out relationships like that. The plurbs were LITERALLY giving Carol the entire world, and even that was not enough to make her happy, and even that just wasnt enough
>>217209587>I think it's a category error to think of it as being about collectivism at all.Hive minds are collectives by definition. Many parts acting as one.>And if Carol would be let to put 1+1 togetherOne of Carol's "faults" is that she treats them as humans and individuals. And as she's so individualistic herself, she's used to doing a lot of stuff on her own without telling anyone. Aside from just being dramatic by running out on the tarmac, she's tends not to direct any of the plurbs in the first place.
happiness comes from within
>>217210198you mean like cummies?
>>217207050Once you grow older you like the older pretty women more than the young hotties because the young ones are so fucking hollow and annoying they're not worth it.
>>217201848Why do they draw Zosia brown
>>217211610I honestly thought she was middle eastern too at first. I guess she was just dirty.
>>217211610she looks tanned sometimes
>>217212009why does she have a peg leg I don't rememb- oh I get it. it's not funny, but I get it.
>>217193243I fucking loved this scene so much
>>217193243>The girl saves the mouse from the trap.
>>217213808is this carol unplurbing zosia?
>>217214105My interpretation is that Carol saved Manousos from his isolation
i don't understand why Manousos is so autistic and stubborn that he would rather eat dog food, sugar packets and/or starve than accept food from a plurb but he just totally unthinkingly trusts and accepts a package from them. so you think they're trying to kill you via food but that they wouldn't fill an envelope with anthrax or something? he's actually retarded and can't even be a conspiracytard correctly.
>>217193243His little spiel to the plurbs before entering the gap was pure cinema
>>217214285Well I read him as the ethical to self-rightous foil, as opposed to the individualist loner Karen American and the collectivist Asians.While I think it plays a role, I don't think being afraid to get poison is the only reason he reject it. The "stolen" items, as he says.
>>217214285He doesn't trust the plurbs because by ignoring them he didn't get any of the information about their motivations and boundaries that Carol did, and he only took the envelope because it was different from the usual meals his mother left him and I guess it piqued his curiosity.
