You SUCK editionPrevious >>217190519
>We'd never harm you>isolates you even though they know humans are a social species and isolation can do real harm>We'd never lie to you>lies by omission every other sentenceImagine listing to a plurb
>>217233163Like Carol said they have the collective bullshittery of every lawyer in the world at their disposal.>Your honor my client didn’t ACTUALLY lie!
>>217233093>plurb knows they are going to play croquet in this field>one or several plurbs delegated to go there at the same time and run the scoreboard just in case there's any funny message that needs to be displayedhow many other plurbs are following Carol around at all times just to add whimsy to her day at any given opportunity?
>>217233093Dead show.
>>217233163She's looks like Laura Palmer.
>>217233218Anything they can do to distract her while the plurb scientists work on cracking her clone baby's stem cells. Its all totally worth it.
Guys…
>>217233093>Have sex with a plurb because you find her attractiveSo is carol really fine with this? They're a hivemind that does anything you want, so they cant really consent. If anything, it's a power dynamic and I thought she was all about morality and shit. She's no better than that one African guy and his plurb orgy.
>watch show>have to wait 3 years for next season Yeah I don't think so dog.
Pluribussy
>>217233581Wrong. Carol was emotionally broken and Zosia made the first move. Koumba took advantage of the situation from day 1.
>>217233581>So is carol really fine with this?What's the alterative? Just be a virgin?
>>217233705She had already had her muff busted by her wife (who is frowning at her from hell as she eats out that plurussy)
>>217233464>and I was telling vince if the plurb was real this is what I would do
>>217233593You'll wait 1 year. This show doesn't have crazy effects. Shows used to be made quickly. They're going to try to crank this out, especially since shows lose a ton of interest the longer they spend between seasons.
How has the question of consent and rape never been brought up? The plurb often say they can't say no but that's not a yes. They're simply just trying to make the non-plurb'd happy by any means necessary. They're just using bodies as puppets. How did no one see Koumba as a rapist?
>>217233877https://www.nme.com/news/tv/vince-gilligan-says-pluribus-season-two-may-not-arrive-for-a-while-3921495
>>217233694What if Koumba was also emotionally broken before the plurbening
>>217233163I forgot the most important part>we won't do anything to you without your express consent>performs surgery on manousos without his consentDoesn't that prove they can also lie?
>>217234202Wait until you finally learn about the idea of implied consent.
>>217233877>This show doesn't have crazy effectsYeah, we noticed that with the use of a greenscreen for a wide angle view of ABQ and using a still image as a backdrop for Carol at the beach kek. That 15 mill per episode is going straight into Vince's pocket with effects like that.
Manosous just dying to a tree after the plurbs told him that would happen and him just being deleted from the show would have been so incredibly based
>>217234132I think he was lonely and poor before
>>217233593It would be worth it if the next season is good. Severence made us wait 3 years and then just shit the bed completely.
>>217233877The problem is that the whole industry is a fucking bloated and wasteful bureaucracy beyond all logic, and it's only gotten worse in the streaming era. As long as studios are shelling out hundreds of millions for cinema-quality special effects, A-list actors with absurd contracts, and a small army of PAs who are there just to get your coffee, which they seem to show no sign of stopping even as they stare down impending financial collapse, TV shows will never be efficient enough for annual broadcast ever again.
>>217234584Yeah, but then we would be stuck with the useless lesbian
>there is literally nothing it did that can only be explained by it needing to intelligently "trick" anyoneexcept that goes against the plurb ethos, they can omit the truth but can't resort to fuckery of any kind and the rat has the same biological imperative
>>217233961Only online leftists care about this shit to such a degree. It's just a fun thought experiment.
>>217235469you literally cannot prove there was any "fuckery" involved in the first place. you're taking it for granted for no reason. the rat was having a seizure. it recovered and felt the lab tech pressing on it trying to get a pulse and nipped her finger. the end.
>>217234584And then the plurbs eat him
>>217234355That doesn't matter if consent for care was refused. He was already dehydrated and hurting before and refused care multiple times. He is completely in his right to go off and die if he wants
>>217235809Consent for help was refused, he didn't say to not provide care in the event of injury.
>>217235766would they? his meat would've been tainted. they might grind him up for fertilizer.
>>217233961it's not koumbait's MONSIEUR DIABATÉSay.His.Name.
>>217236227Diabetes.
>>217236227Cumbrain Diabetus?
I'm already completely over this show.
>>217236380Alright, see you tomorrow.
>>217236380See you in the next thread anon, we love you.
>3 hours to even get to 40 postsLol
>>217236518It's slowly dying and that's okay
>>217233755she's so fine bros...
>>217235846Any result of injury from his initial refusal is on him. He or someone else would have to actually call for assistance. They just continued to spy on him after the refusal.
is this gonna follow the gay trend of one season per 2 years?
>>217235478I'm adding this to the thought experiment. Carol of all people should've used this argument to get the rest on her side but she just went for the pajeeta's son instead
>>217236739yeah imagine if Carol had the wherewithal to conduct herself like Koumba did. he put everyone at ease and calmly made his case and even though I think most people would have objections to him it's easy to sympathize with his point. meanwhile, Carol....i think that's one of the points the show is probably trying to make too. like being "right" doesn't matter if no one ever hears your ideas because they've written you off because you're so horrible to be around.
Isn't it a little weird being intimate with plurbs knowing that your mom, dad and family are sharing minds with the plurb and acknowledging that it's happening?? (and may even be engaging with the act also in some way??)
>>217236909not if you're just using their bodies to essentially masturbate and don't think of them as actual people
Carol = WaltManousos = Mike/Jesse Zosia = GusDiabete = HankLaxshimi = jeet-SkylerProve me wrong.
>>217236909Your family members are dead. It's a super intelligence that has a copy of their memories stored and maybe keeps some of their bodies around for labor.
>>217237025>Your family members are dead.not necessarily. actually it would seem there is no survivor so far without any family members left alive.
i hate everything about this show
>>217225724>>217227570>>217227656No guys. All life on Earth uses the same RNA bases, from plants to humans, because we share a common ancestor. Asteroids have been found with nucleobases but not nucleotides, which is like the difference between finding eggs milk and flour and finding a pancake. Unless the entities that built the transmitter that was picked up on from share a common ancestor with humans, which seems highly unlikely, then the idea that the aliens would happen to write an RNA sequence that matched ours is very low. It would be like right now if humans needed to guess the RNA sequence of unknown life elsewhere in the universe. There is NO WAY! that Gilligan will explain this. It will be handwaved away. I'm sorry.
>>217237179god you're retarded
>>217237179>The aliens might also have eggs milk and flour but there is NO WAY they would ever also know how to make a pancake out of them. Vince will NEVER explain how they have pancakes.k
If things return to normal, my entire family believes that there's no way you'd get punished for raping the plurbs. They believe everyone would let it slide for saving the world. Even my die hard leftist relatives agreed and said at most you'd get some mean tweets made about you.
>>217236969Diabete is Saul
>>217236626do you mean fine as in fine? or fine as in meh?
>>217236969>Carol = Waltthey're both the protagonists, there's a hidden genius to this
>>217239156nobody says "so fine" to say "meh"maybe zoomzooms don't know this but "fine" means hot
>>217233093>this general is still going 2 weeks after the finale>when the first season was meh/10 at best and the second won't arrive until fuckin 2028literally what is there to discuss?
>>217239250It's a word-of-mouth type of show, anon. No one watched it airing, because fucking no one has apple TV. Air dates mean fucking nothing because of anons like >>217223724 >>217208797 and myself who all binged this in 2 days, and want to talk about everything. This slow trickle of new anons who want to disect and disscuss this show will continue for the next 3-9months, until the generals become a self sustaining cancer. This is the way it works. All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again
>>217233163You cannot trust the plurbs unfortunately
>>217239502I watched it while airing and binge watchers can have their nuts roasted. It's not the same.
>>217239580>humanity is saved thanks to Manosous >Zosia returns home>is stoned to death for having lesbian sex
>>217236484Why did they draw Zosia so evil here?
>>217239654>We know what you did, Zosia...>We ALL know what you did!!!
Apparently this is the same actress. Talk about getting walled
>>217239733>This scene from Breaking Bad was brought to you by 5 Hour Energy
>>217239994The car stuff was even more overt. It really undermines the series.
Why is Sexler some arrogant, hypocritical, dykechild and not some nihilistic cunt? Would be way more interesting and I feel like there is no way to play into the plurbs at all; you either completely accept them or deny them like the sudaca. So the first season was kind of a way for developing her character.
>>217234202they told him to wave at the skyhe waves at the sky just before he passes out
is Wycaro an allegory for Breaking Bad?
When does Mike show up?
>>217240421He's covering his eyes from the sun.
So wait, Carol calls in love with Zosia because she resembles the cover art for the pirate character?Zosia doesn't seem to have a pirate personality, she's very placid and compliant.
>>217240535She's not in love. She was alone for over a month and Zosia kisses her then Carol gives in. She's in love with Zosia the same way as a weeb is in love with their waifu.
>>217233464is rhea gay irl
This could still be miscommunication, the fact that Carol hasn't explicitly told them she will never want to turn through any method needed to be addressed stronger than it did. Carol never told them not to use her eggs when she found out what they were doing. The fact that she immediately doesn't try the most obvious shit is frustrating but it's probably the only way the show can continue with the concept.
>>217240678A little bit
>>217240769I think the idea is that they won't accept a blanket refusal to plurbing. We are doing this because we love you etcThey only accept situational refusals to being punctured with a needle etc.
>>217240584>She's in love with Zosiashe's in lust
>>217240808Did you stop reading mid-sentence?
>>217240781That seems to be what it is, but I feel like that needed to be addressed more because shit like the stem cell refusal happening because she didn't ask can't just happen again. Like her escaping plurbing just being she didn't ask something before and she asks something now in a season 2 episode would just be "you're doing the same thing again" and I feel like they're having Carol intentionally not say certain things so that they can keep doing thatEither that or Carol is supposed to be really, really dumb
>>217240843>they're having Carol intentionally not say certain things so that they can keep doing thatYou're quite right. The egg question would have been a good exchange that the audience would have liked to see rather than just imagine.The character interaction is pretty poor actually.
they already tried to plurb Carol against her will. there's not some kind of magic loophole where they suddenly care about consent. the only thing they refuse to do is physically harm anyone. so if they can plurb you without doing that, either by kissing you or stealing your stem cells that are sitting in a freezer somewhere, they are going to do so. there's no logical contradiction with how the plurb has behaved so far imo.
>>217240969>there's no logical contradiction with how the plurb has behaved so far imo.I agree, however they were never outright rejected by the people they forcefully plurbed. They could believe in an implied consent for plurbification that there might be some way to opt out of, but thinking back out of all the episodes she never directly tells them "I don't want you to do anything to me through any methods that will plurb me" or asks them for an opt out.She does tell them she will resist them and that they can't extract her stem cells, but that's different than flat out telling them not to do it. All I'm saying is I'm reeeally hoping that some kind of bullshit like that doesn't come up later. Also I would be even happier if I'm wrong and I just forgot some scene where she tells them never to plurb her.
>Get the plurbs to stock up an island or a remote area near a power plant with decades of food, water, supplies, guns and ammunition, fuel, generators, medical supplies, terabytes of entertainment, etc>Have them build a fortress style perimeter laden with high walls, barbed wire, mines, and more>Get vehicles and ships (if it's an island) stacked up>Get them to feed power to your fortress for as long as possible>Ask them to divulge every military, government and scientific secret, discovery and scandal to you in the form of documentation and testimony>Then tell them to stay the fuck away from you at all timesIt's that easy
>>217240822Yeah admittedly I did, I'm sorry.
>>217241165They can plurb you through the air you breath, you'd have to be in some kind of dome and have an air filtration unit and have it be maintained and also how would that effect your sewage system and alsoThere are a lot of factors to consider
>>217241218Might be better being in a bunker then, but then the downside of an air filtration system as you mentioned would come into play.
>>217241098so far their limits are clearly explained. from the first episode they made it clear their intention is to plurb her and they only reinforce that idea in several other episodes. i feel like i totally understand the rules and they haven't been broken yet. they think Carol is drowning to death right now. they aren't going to hurt or kill her but they will stop at nothing else to "save" her. makes sense to me.
pluribus is peak /comfy/ tv
>>217239733Honestly, her body is pretty much still the exact same shape, just bigger. Butter face has definitely seen better days
>>217239733Good god
>>217233093PLURIBUSSY
>>217240850did she win an oscer?bravo, rhea!
>>217241943Okay, kid, you can't just slap images on top of each other like that, that's not how camera lenses and perspective work. Sort yourself out.
Did Zosia tell Manu about them eating people? Is that included in "Todo"?
>You gave her WHAT?!
