The season’s ending was pretty disappointing (https://hexbear.net/comment/6743863)

I wonder if Manousos figures out that he can disable the plurb through outbursts and just keeps doing that to one plurb’d node and Carol would have to stop him. If this plot ends up happening I’d be disappointed because I just came up with it in 30 seconds.

Bravo Vince collecting the apple check to do whatever he wants with a sci-fi show that can basically magic any scenario he wants out of thin air and be patted on the back for it.

Also Carol is also just like Diabaté (French speaking dude with the air force one) and only stops when she realizes that she can’t treat the plurb as her own sexual fantasy and slaves.

Manousos is goated only because he envisions a world where the virus is cured. Diabaté is also great because he shares little to nothing about himself and gets to learn a ton from the plurb without them suspecting him (and is actually trying to find a solution to the windfall thing).

Carol shooting at manousos with a shotgun got me heated, white people will always ruin the day.

In any case, I don’t know what angle the show is going for. I guess people called it when it became a christian “lets save the world” type story by someone who only sees the world through ideology.

      Though he has access to some radio equipment people usually don’t have and is systematic in his pursuit to learn at which frequency they communicate, he otherwise lacks fundamental knowledge of the field. Since he gives himself access to a storage facility it’s not necessarily his own. (Another inconsistency regarding his respect for property.) Also, his office (I presume it’s his) is not rigged the way. (He is no car mechanic either.)

      And, first thing someone with some background in medicine and related trades has (or adventure sports practicioner, or nurse…) when facing 20 day+ treck through dense forest is, you’ll be needing at his body composition 20× 2200 kcal in food minimum = about 15–30kg of solid proviant alone without foraging or hunting. Yet he’s embarking with a 15-20 ℓ backpack. So, neither a soldier, nor game warden, nor farmer.

      He’s disinfecting his wounds with absolutely the wrong means (don’t do that!), treats it incorrectly (again, don’t imitate), which rules out he were a trained nurse or medic.

      Mystery to me where “that look in his eyes” were coming from, unless maybe mild starvation or dehydration.
