Idk how happy I could be once everyone has to go vegan. The no-kill clause is interesting. I wonder if they'd step in to stop violence between 2 of the normies (pirate lady told Carol that she wouldn't be able to protect her). What do they do if someone decides to run amok and treat the world like it's Grand Theft Auto?

A cool lil thing that they may end up doing is Carol or someone finding a cure, turning people back to normal. Now a lot of stuff gets looked at in a different light if people can "come back". Them 11M(and counting) Carol took out looks a lot different. JBO breh having to deal with the women learning what he did to them while they were "gone".

Watched the first ep, thought it was dope and I'm sure it's been pointed out, heavy "X-Files" vibes. Which is only right given Gilligan's pedigree.

The only minor complaint (and it's possible it will be addressed later) is what was the plan had that rat not bit the lab worker? How was this meant to spread? Was it even meant to spread? We obviously see it as creepy as hell but it could've been meant as a gift (a unified planet, everyone content) that whoever was trying to spread.

I see people comparing this to "Rick & Morty" but it's closer to a less sinister version (so far, anyway) of season 4 of "Angel". But I'm sure if we go even farther back there's other examples.

:jbhmm:There doesn't seem to be a main body/mind for the hive; it looks so far like they exist in all bodies/minds at the same time.

I more so meant everyone being happy and the potential fall out if Carol "cures" them.

The summary for this show is Carol trying to "save the world from happiness".

If you're familiar with "Angel" I'm sure you remember what happened after Jasmine died.

I'm not saying this show is biting "Angel", certain narrative threads just have logical conclusions.

I imagine the "we cant kill" thing gets put to the test. They will kill her or imprison her(or whoever has the cure). Their drive seems to be to spread. If a cure pops up then that goes directly against it and they handle it how they see fit :manny:

My guess is that their plan was for capitalism to take over and big pharma would eventually make happy drugs to help people suffering from depressions, PTSD, case of the Mondays. Even during early clinical trials it would probably be enough infected to spread over the world quickly.

I wonder if we’ll get flashbacks to the time after the scientist figured out it was RNA and before the mouse bite in the lab. I’d like to see patient zero and how it spread from there.
