Spoilers Pluribus

Another Easter egg:
The person who started giving Zosia CPR at the end of episode 4 is Rosa Estrada, who saved Bob Odenkirk life and gave him CPR in front of Rhea Seehorn when he had a heart attack while film Better Call Saul.

Four was much better than three! My wife is definitely more hooked than I, but that episode was good.

Pluribus is on Wednesday this week instead of Friday.

Carol is a very interesting main character, I've read somewhere the tagline of some video analysis of the show along the lines of "One Karen against a woke hivemind" and I can't stop thinking about that. Even the name Carol/Karen have some phonetic semblance.

I think there is something there.
But also, I watched a video (OK, a bunch of videos) on Pluribus, and it was mentioned that Carol is an anagram for Coral... which is a clever/ironic play on the fact that coral is a colony of identical organisms.

Another fantastic episode.
Probably the funniest so far, and also possibly the most disturbing.

I made the mistake of being on social media yesterday afternoon and had an element spoiled for me, so I'm holding off talking too much about the episode in case anybody doesn't realize this week's ep was out early.

Hi, Carol. A please and thank you would be nice once in awhile.

The drone but was amusing.

They’re impractical even in big spacious nearly empty areas. They’d last 2 seconds where I live. They’d have to navigate 10 times the obstacles. I don’t fear the drone delivery incursion any time soon.

Can’t really blame the hive from starting away from Carol. She keeps nearly killing her ‘contact’. The temper outburst, the grenade, then the drug.

I wonder what that food/liquid is? Just a concentrated form of all the nutrients and calories a human needs? Or does it contribute to the actual hive effect?

It's people. Mystery liquid is people.

It's people. Mystery liquid is people.

It might be worthwhile rewatching Zosia's response to Laxmi's question "So you are vegetarian?" during the meal scene in episode 2: a sideways look and a few moments of hesitation, followed by a cautious "That would be our preference, yes."

 

[Aeson]

Some people just can't take a joke. I'm watching the same show as everyone else. I'm aware of their preferences. It's a Soylent Green reference. I prefer to have fun with my entertainment, not nitpick and analyze it to death.
