I liked it.
I'm sorry I missed the generals when it was airing.
They would have been fun.

Why didn't Vegas Mohammed fill his harem with Emma Watson and Daisy Ridley, instead we just get a John Cena cameo.

An advertisement? For what?

It was amazing how fast they hit the breaks after the second episode and then had nothing happen until the finale.

It’s kind of boring to see Carol do absolutely nothing with the hive, and even when she does drink the kool aid, it’s the most boring shit imaginable she has planned.

Meanwhile Kumba was reliving Bond movies with him as the protagonist, practicing power bombs with John Cena, and probably having the craziest orgies.

>>218311081
im not saying this is a high iq show but youre actually retarded. how did you completely miss the developing subplot about how the joined are trying to use helen's memories to subvert carol and this probably going to play a role in how she attempts to reverse things and win over the other survivors. but then again ive only watched three episodes so far so what do i know.

I was rewatching it today with my best friends Maple and Arianna and one of them said "why don't they ask the hive if God is real?" like how tf would the hive even know that
>>
>>218311081
it’s because the writers are spinning their wheels until the mandated 8 episode quota is up. they introduce a mechanic, immediately walk it back, then reintroduce it like we all have goldfish memory.

“the hive is omniscient”
>can’t answer basic questions
“the hive can’t control you”
>controls you anyway
“there’s a cost”
>there isn’t

it’s not tension, it’s stalling. feels like they had 4 episodes of story and stretched it with moody staring and carol looking conflicted for 6 hours. bravo vince for discovering the narrative equivalent of edging.

>>218310348
I assume it's because Vince Gillian writes his shows literally one episode at a time without a planned out story
>>
I tried to like Pluribus.
I assume the tagline of the show is going to end up being true. "The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness”.

She saves us from the hivemind and "we" all hate her for it.

>>218312167
a lot of people just think the virus is a sentient alien being and brought with it astral, universal knowledge
>>
>>218312776
She's going to be like the squid from watchmen. She will be so hated that even outside of the hivemind the entire world will unite against her and achieve world peace or whatever close to it you can get without a hivemind.

I've always wondered what would happen if you could get every single priest in a room and force them to debate in good faith, and keep them from killing each other, if anything of worth or progress would happen.

Theoretically the plurbs did that.

I would watch this on the condition that Carol screams exactly like Doug Walker doing his Nostalgia Critic scream when she's having the nails hammered into her palms. Like, they have Doug Walker himself doing the lines in a studio and dub it over Rhea.
>>
>>218312375
My problem with the show is that the hivemind (after the pilot) is the most toothless villain I've ever seen in anything ever. It accommodates almost anything (including things that could at least theoretically fuck it over in future, like Carol's messages), refuses to hurt you under any circumstances (including unwanted medical procedures, dosing, etc.), will not impede your movement, can't even LIE to you (???), and it seizes up and (partially) dies if you're too rude to it. It's still scary in the uncanny valley sense for all the obvious reasons, but now that it's spread globally, there's no tension left because it can't DO anything to Carol if she screws up. And when tangling with the bad guy carries no risk, even in the worst case scenario when your plan blows up in your face, that's FUCKING BORING.
>But if it was more aggressive, Carol couldn't do anything.
True, I understand why they did it like this, but that doesn't change my point. Some premises just aren't workable; "A mediocre fantasy author matches wits with an intelligent, manipulative hivemind" is one of them.

>>218313401
And hilariously, the hivemind doesn't fit as an analogy for any one of those things.
>>218316419
I can guarantee that season 2 (if that even happens) is going to throw up its hands say "Fuck it" and have the Others suddenly gain the ability to do stuff that season 1 swore they couldn't do (never mind that the pilot has them doing stuff the later season 1 episodes say they can't do anyway lmao). There'll be some cope explanation that "They were just tricking Carol" which will then raise obvious questions of why they didn't just get aggressive sooner.

kino show, you didnt miss anything in the generals. 9/10 posts were retarded babies who can't pay attention to anything and the other 1/10 were posting the same thing but ironically
