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.

    I guess that gets a bit weird with the “biological imperative” thing.

    Like a berry bush can’t withhold it’s consent to have me eat it’s berries, but that’s also literally how it spreads it’s seeds.

        True but if a hive mind takes over all of humanity is it now it’s own being that has a biological imperative? Even if the bodies it inhabits once were conscious beings. I guess that question lays on whether in individuals within the Plurbs still exist and can be recovered or if they are gone and the Plurb is now the Plurb.

          I could press on my particular reading but I guess the show hasn’t revealed enough information to support either possibility here.
