Discussion: Season 1, Episode 9 Join the Discussion
599With your youthful maximalism (18 years old, heh, I'm already jealous) this is quite normal, somehow even zero complaints. But blocking and disliking (taking advantage of the fact that you can't be blocked now) is somehow, ahem, unsportsmanlike :)
I sincerely wish you to stop "crying, stabbing, but continue to chew the cactus" — and start commenting only on those series that you like.
even if May shows hidden social networks, and there is only one - and another date.
and anyway) since the consumers of shit don't carry authority for me, his opinion is a funny set of letters for me.
It's just ridiculous that you decided to put some emphasis on age, but whose age is it? He's beautiful, I agree) I would proudly wear the sign "I was born in 2007" if, in this case, the baggage of the background had not evaporated along with other years with:
you can always block anyone, even here you are critically mistaken. Grandpa, maybe pills?
I feel like a dumb Carol talking to you, and you're Roy. I am free to comment on what I want and how I want, limited only by the rules of the site < 3
but I wrote on social networks about the target audience of this series based on the comments in this application/website.) THIS is much more interesting hehe
In general, in this series, this moment, which is at the end with Zosia, perfectly shows the danger of the "virus".
Plus, I'm curious to know something about the song that the girls sang during the ceremony. In what circumstances was it performed by the people before: funeral, wedding, birth?
They gave her an atomic bomb after all! It wasn't perfect, but it turned out to be a pretty good ending. The meeting between Carol and Manousos and all their scenes did not disappoint - in general, Manousos is a cool guy (even when he was shouting in Rick's face), I hope he will decipher the waves and find a solution.
By the way, he reminded Carol from the first episode of the same desire to fix the situation. But Carol was completely relaxed, funny when she talked about love, "you're mine.." Zosa, in general, the scenes with Zosia are great as always, I can't stop being awesome at how they manipulate. But it's good that Carol found out about the frozen cells and is now in the "
get a girl, save the world" mode.Great series, Ray Seahorn is very good, see you in 2 years
Over the course of 9 episodes, we were shown how Carol Sturka is a psychoemotionally immature, impulsive person, unable to control herself even in front of a small group of "untouchables" (which she assembled herself), pouring alcohol until she blacked out in front of them, and not ready to understand what she ultimately wants to achieve. At the same time, she tends to haunt those who are happy with the current situation.
The highlight, of course, was episode 8, where Carol was initially outraged when she realized that the renovated cafe was a scene played out for her, and in the evening of the same day she happily bought into the scene with a different entourage, limp from a woman who was exactly the same GG of her romantic fiction. And here it is worth paying tribute to the authors, because it was comical to watch Carol appear in literally the same light as the readers who are prone to escapism through her books, whom she arrogantly and disdainfully muddles at the beginning of the season, and by the end forgets about her dead spouse and the apocalypse thanks to a mini-honeymoon with the hero of her own dreams in the flesh.
As a result, the only sobering factor becomes the awareness of impending death (which, in fact, is the merger with Highmind). But even that only leads to a shift in focus to a new game: "Now I'm saving the world with you, Manusos, and not playing out a romantic arc with my pirate," and to the explosive hypertrophy of her fragile ego, as we see from the fake (quantitative, but not qualitative) growth of the character from "bring me a grenade." before "bring me the atomic bomb."
Given the above, it is clear that the audience who are impressed by the character of Carol Sturka is the same kind of berry as those who, say, are running around with Patrick Bateman, who is now popular in memes, impressed by the spectacular antics, but deaf to the essence of the audience.
but manousos is certainly a pleasure to watch.
It's funny, but we have not received any confirmation or refutation of the hypothesis that he was part of the highway before the first genocide of Carol.. although the confidence with which he performed his couch exorcism hints that he knows something about the subjective life of the plurbs first-hand. : "I know you're there, and you can remember.". Or maybe he just conducted his interrogation of Zosi with honors
. Judging by his books (from the library, very nice), we will see the mentioned Faraday cage next season.
Well, it was nice to theorize in the comments, see you in two years at best :D
And so, yes, the global neural network manipulated her beautifully. But Manousos, being moderately sociophobic or moralistic, showed her that she had become too accepting of the current situation. Without him, the whole story would have died out in the third month, until they would all have been assimilated. It's not for nothing that all dissenters are quite lonely people, separated from or deprived of close assimilated relatives or loved ones.
>hypotheses that it was part of the highway before the first genocide of carol
Where can I read more about the hypothesis, how is it Googled? It's not very clear what this assumption is based on, but it would be interesting to read, it's a cool idea.
A Reddit post with this theory is called I think I know why they discovered Manousos (the paraguayan man) so "late"
My personal feeling is that the ambiguity was left intentionally to give the writers room to maneuver when writing the next season.
Does he know about the origin?
1. Manusos was fed not with milk with substances, but with ordinary products left in stores, like everyone else. And he did not eat them out of distrust and principles.
2. When he arrives at Carol's, he offers to kill a lot, because he believes that the process is irreversible. It is only after a dialogue with her and Zosia that he conducts his experiment and realizes that people can be saved by drowning out the frequency of their waves.
But that's why he was initially looking for these waves and where he was before that, which was not immediately discovered, is very interesting and leaves questions. I hope the next season starts with a story about him. By the end of it, he was more interesting to watch than Carol's changing shoes.
2. Mm, well, not really about murder and irreversibility. he understands plurbes more as malicious individual entities that have taken over human bodies, and suggests detruire, destroying them, and in the next sentence says "if you can't bring people back as they were, then it's better to kill them." plus, he leaves money on the way, which hints that he has at least some idea in his head that everyone can be "cured."
We have been informed of the fact that it was not immediately discovered. for some reason. if you arm yourself with Occam's razor, then it is simply designed to complement the portrait of manousos - it immediately informs us about his isolation, and is an exposition for the beginning of the next series, explaining why he is locked up because he simply overslept the beginning of the apocalypse while sitting on shift in his cubicle.
I don't know.. in everything that they show and tell us about him, there is a certain degree of fanatical excess. dog food, refusing help, walking through the jungle. Since we don't have any tangible assumptions about how people would actually behave in such a situation, there's no place to start from in assessing the normality of his behavior. therefore, looking at this excess, we can think that it's just his exceptionally principled character, beliefs, faith, soldier's background, unique stubbornness, etc. but if we consider the idea that he was part of the highway, then the manifestations of his intolerance and paranoia are a little easier explained by the fact that he saw some game while hanging out with everyone.. xs, I'm not convinced of this theory myself)
As for the waves, the simplest and most logical assumption is simply to look for other survivors like them.
I agree that I would like to know more about his first day. I wouldn't be surprised if the new season starts with flashbacks, from his point of view.
In general, a separate argument against this theory is that if you come to another survivor with this knowledge to plan a fight, then you should ask her from the doorstep if she knows about the compromising diet of these demons, especially noting that she has developed sympathy for them..
and didn't he later find out from Carol that Roy feeds on human flesh-she sent a note about it to everyone who survived?
Like he's trying to save humanity. Yeah. A hero, damn it!
This is the imperative of this "nevirus" - to make everyone happy.
you can fantasize that the vapors were made specifically for her from her cells, but what prevents you from doing the same with the rest of the immune system? as the series has shown, the consent of the immune mind is not required, they will do everything without it and try to convert them.
A story facup is coming out.
and if we go further, then Highmind said that he could not lie, but it turns out that they lied when they said that without the consent of the immune cells, cells would not be taken from them and they would not be stripped.
well, or the 2nd story facup.
But where I see a violation of logic, but not of the series, but of Carol, is that she can request her eggs immediately and they will have to comply.
And ruin the whole series with one smart decision? You're crazy. You would also advise Ned Stark to keep quiet...
1. Do not harm the living
2. Do not give out information that could kill them and avoid danger or dangerous people.
If they had acted more aggressively, they would already be a potential threat to their creators, but a simple "No" is enough to forbid them to convert you if they need stem cells from you.
The funny thing is that there are people in the series who, at the very foundation of their cultures, have the idea that people are one, and not just people, but all living things in general. It's us, people with European culture, who can't understand, but how can it be, it just doesn't fit in our heads. We are the same as the American Carol, who, against the background of the American flag on the plane, tells everyone else, other people from a different culture, that we need to save the world, otherwise it will be bad for everyone! And Manousos is generally a security guard of a warehouse, private property, he is ready to kill for it. That is, he is ready to kill for material things, for him, first of all, the material part of the personality is important, unlike the "weirdos" who honor the idea in the personality, the personality itself.
Well, speaking of cultures. We have all been drawn to this community since birth, destroying other cultures. We are a product of this community. We speak Russian and destroy some culture. We're learning English, doing the same thing. And first of all, culture is about people, not houses with baby goats. And in the series, everything seems to be in order with the preservation of identity.
=====
There are no more personalities on Earth except the remaining 12. No.
Initially 12
Plus Manusos from Asuncion
Minus the Peruvian
Here, 12
In order for the series to be perceived as really cool, episode 9 had to be the fourth or fifth in the first season, after which Carol and Manousos would save the world in the rest, because their mixing was already in the beginning. But in the final episode, the classic Gilligan finally began to be viewed and the foundation for the future was created well enough to continue watching further.
To me, it was the perfect pace for this series.
But in the last episode, some kind of eventfulness really began, the plot progressed at a rapid pace compared to what it used to be. Gilligan, in theory, can support him, if the confrontation with the "weirdos" becomes open, something new will be told about them in each episode, Manusos will learn how to return people to their normal appearance, maybe the "weirdos" in this case will not become so peaceful and meat in the style of Walkers will begin. In general, there are options for how to disperse the plot.
Although maybe I'm being too optimistic about Episode 9, it just exceeded all expectations in terms of the number of events that took place. I waited for Manousos' car to be filmed from a drone for 20 minutes, so many more minutes of empty conversations between Carol and Zosi, and only in the last seconds, perhaps (but not exactly), the appearance of Manousos on Carol's doorstep. As a result, Gilligan piled on so much that it could be enough for about 5 episodes of the second season, if we take as a basis how he provided information before that.
I want something new, and it's new — this deliberately slow analysis of all the emotional swings of the first 2.5 months. It couldn't be that everyone is ready to fight for the future right away, these are ordinary people who may well be in complete shock. And then I'm shocked again, but in a different way. And then start deceiving yourself that you can live as usual in such conditions. And so on
What a weak aura
ps why didn't Carol realize that, in general, the agency, which she clung to even in the last dialogue with Zosia, would in fact make no sense with her similar kind of life? to live the rest of your days side-by-side with a character specially made for you? I can't believe she could do it with her eternal awl in her ass, which, in principle, was shown.
It was like being hit on the head.
Well, yes, in general, the ending was good, I got exactly what I expected from the meeting between Carol and Manousosa. Excellent dynamics. He is quite ruthless, but this ruthlessness is necessary, no matter how strange it may sound. Carol still feels guilty for those 11 million deaths and believed in their "love" with Zosia, Manousos does not have such baggage.
It was clear that Zosia was and remains a part of the Hive, but Carol surprised me. I didn't think she was so caught up in this self-deception about love. But I am glad that in the end the realization came.
At the same time, it's so amazing that in the last episode Carol managed to get something really personal about the "individual" Zosa, but it never even occurred to her to ask about Zosa's "personal" free will - or maybe it did, but she didn't want to know the truth, because it's generally easy to assume. She was deeply hurt by the waitress who was pulled out of the diner for the sake of the performance, but she did not ask if the real Zosia would ever want to spend time with her, Carol, make friends and sleep. The team is very interested in pleasing. I understand that it may be too much to demand such awareness from Carol, who has been in isolation, but this is something that would worry me personally. She even tries, throwing in a question about exes, but she doesn't have the heart to really ask, and she doesn't put the squeeze on it again. It seems that it was still difficult for Carol to finally realize how much all the old people are now the primary soup, until the moment when it became impossible to deny. Maybe the psyche is so protected, understanding is scary. That's why this shameful pang of resentment is because broth loves the unpleasant Paraguayan as much as she loves her special and only one. After all, self-deception, when you yourself know that it is self-deception, cannot last forever.
It is very interesting that by asking how much time she has before "joining", Carol looks and reacts like a terminally ill person to the information about the diagnosis. Which underlines that for us, the dissolution of the self is indeed the equivalent of death.
It's a good series. A lot of things make you think not about the plot or the characters, but about yourself.
And the moment with the "Left Hand of Darkness" is just suddenly relevant.
But I won't be watching the next seasons online.
True fans and researchers have been looking for a video this week that Gilligan specifically recorded. Marketing solutions- such as advertising on refrigerators, running lines on Google, etc. - are great, I miss such companies.
Let marketers think about how to make it legible that this is an advertisement.
Well, even if you follow the logic of the series. Carol may ask to return all her eggs, and they will be OBLIGED to return them to her, because it follows their logic to please. That's it, and she continues to enjoy Zosia for the rest of her life.
But in fact, Gilligan is now manipulating history as he wants, if he turns his own rules into conventions.
The moment of the appeal was perfectly shot, although predictably, it was immediately clear that after the appeal she would simply stand up and become one, there would be no hugs or congratulations. But it was beautifully shot.
It doesn't matter about the atomic bomb, I don't think this "Gun" will go off, it's more like for the viewer to show that the story in the second season will raise the degree more.
P.S. In general, I would look at such a development, Manusos slams Carol so as not to interfere (in the middle of this episode) and the second season is devoted to how he will radically deal with them)
In the Vegas episode, Carol asked, "Is it true that you need my table cages," they answered, "yes," "is it true that you need to put a needle in me and you need my permission to do this," they replied, "yes." That is, the whole point was to agree to permission to extract cells from the body, not permission to infect it. And if they had another way to get the cells and achieve their main goal, why would they need Carol's consent at all (again, did the other 7 billion give their consent?).
Here, as in one of the first episodes with a question and answer about vegetarians, they specifically answer so "interestingly" to mislead. Well, even in this episode, in fact, they manipulated a girl from Peru.
And the topic of completing the wishlist is not above their main goal, and if Carol asks, they won't give a damn to her. If they could infect the water in the world to convert, they would do so. Without asking any Carols, Manusos, etc. In fact, there were only a few ways of infection shown in the first episode.
Yes, it's all broken down by the fact that Carol could just as well ask for all this stuff to be given to her during the cooking process and destroyed, making sure that they don't mess up anything else secretly. But trust in them is still undermined and they would not stop, plus they are not such truth-tellers and evade answers on painful topics for themselves. Here she comes to a real understanding that "weirdos" are a real threat and they need to be turned back into normal people, and all this romance with Zosia is life in pink glasses
Avoiding answers is not cheating. Even in this episode, Zosia told Carol that Magnus asked the exact questions and we had to answer. Literally erasing the series, it answers the question that they are required to do everything they are literally and precisely asked to do.
1. causing physical pain
2. cheating
and they fulfill the wishes of the remaining people only if these desires do not contradict the goals of their swarm.
For example, they will no longer comply with Manusos' requirement to bring another individual to him for an experiment.
3. Please
They have repeatedly said that they will fulfill any request. When it was about a grenade, or an atomic bomb in the hospital. They were well aware that it could explode and some of the "individuals" would die in the process. So this means that their instinct for self-preservation is expressed only in distancing themselves from dangerous people who can yell and "reset" them, since this affects absolutely the entire "we", and not a separate group of individuals. Or they may keep silent about information that threatens their existence.
The request to return their eggs does not pose a threat to them in any way, but only creates a violation in their plan, according to its "connection", but they have no emotions and "they" would interpret it like this:
"we comply with the request, we give the eggs, we start looking for another way for her to join,"
All the rest is pulling the owl on the globe to protect the great Gilligan.
, otherwise, at the beginning of the series, when gg said she did not agree to apply, Roy would have replied "we obey and obey," but no, they said they would convert her and she would realize that she was mistaken in her desire to remain
an individual.E. conversion or death of a person is a priority, and everything that does not interfere with this priority can be fulfilled.
You can also do things that don't pose a threat to the virus.
Therefore, everything that poses an immediate threat to IT (not to individuals, but to the virus as a whole) they certainly do not comply, this includes withholding information about how to get rid of it, avoiding "toxins" that pose a threat.
The eggs themselves do not pose any threat, as well as the request to return them, they only delay one of the chances for Carol to "join". Therefore, they would have completed it and started looking for another way to "connect" it.
In any case, it was the most obvious question for her, and then Gilligan could come up with a reason why the eggs could no longer be returned. But apparently it turned out to be very difficult to justify and they just gave up on it.
Otherwise, we could easily beat any option:
- get your eggs, we no longer need them, we have already done everything we need to get stem cells.
- we will return them to you along with happy gas.
- I'm sorry, Carol, we still treat you the same way, but they are currently in operation, but we will immediately return them to you when the time
comes or something else
, but I repeat, Roy is not obliged to fulfill absolutely all requests from individuals, another thing is that the viewer did not hear the necessary request.
, maybe the very eggs to which the device is added as a gift, with which Carol and Manusosum will create a vaccine for the entire second season?
, and if you also fly into the vastness of fantasy, then you can assume that with the atomic bomb (Carol's eggs) in the container there is a detonator in the person of the hostage Zosia - she is definitely a specialist in virology)))
It's a good series, and it's nice to see Ray on the screen again.) I'm really looking forward to the second season, I hope it will be released faster than the Division of the same
But the season ended perfectly, the cliffhanger with an atomic bomb is explosive in every sense of the word))
Why didn't Manusos ask for books on radio engineering in Spanish, since he was already communicating with the hive, living in someone else's house, and had clearly tempered his principles. Translating technical literature with a dictionary is generally unrealistic, there are special translators for this, and without knowledge of the language it is generally meaningless.
Perhaps by removing your unjustified racism, you would at least be able to understand that Manousos is not an Arab and thought that he might have a technical education and understand much more, since he researched radio waves than the writer.
Well, with Carol, yes, Vince was outsmarted. It turned out that Carol was really mentally retarded, fell in love with Zosia in a month and forgot about what she had learned in the first episodes — one might have thought that this was a multi-trick to outwit the highway
@Djigman:
People learn the concept of self-deception. 2025, photo in color.
Yes, Camon, well, sketch it out, Carol was well aware of what she was doing. I knew that there was no love here, I just constructed a fantasy, escaped to the land of rainbows and concepts. Just like most people turn a blind eye to uncomfortable topics, situations, and problems in the hope of "well, it'll sort itself out somehow!"
After Manousos almost killed her pet, she was afraid that she would lose what little she had left, and realized that she had to live for today. Well, they can't force her to join)))))) Oh, oh. Oops!
It's especially funny to watch such nonsense in a series that consists of 70% fillers, i.e. there was more than enough time to adequately register the development of attachment and a change in attitude towards biorobotics. To show how Zosia manipulates and falls in love with herself, but Vince is a genius — it was enough to rub her furry legs to convince Carol.
He's sitting here, talking
Yes, I squandered it in some places, I wanted to get the action as soon as possible, but I also enjoyed the measured style in some places.
I saw some similarities with the "World of the Wild West", where people also fell in love with artificial intelligence, with a black mirror where there were stories about how the hero had feelings for an "unreal" object.
And "freaks" are "unreal" for an ordinary person, they are like artificial intelligence - they say what a person wants to hear, echo him, but in depth they realize their ultimate goals.
I don't think there's much point in demanding the eggs back — they've already figured something out and will continue to work anyway to figure out how to put the heroine in their chains.
I will look forward to the second season with interest)
, and the bees understood this.
I wonder what happened to them during production in this fight for a smartphone scene, why they decided to redo it on the green, because the rest of the moments of their meeting were filmed in a real location.
at the beginning of the episode, it was made clear that the girl was preparing to join on her own. Of course, they knew that she might fall, and since they are pseudo-pacifists, they put a blanket on her.
And about Manousos, Zosia said bluntly that he had warned them about his actions before.
And how these two judgments lead to the idea that if Carol hadn't started to get hysterical, her mind would have retreated, I didn't understand at all. Maybe he really would have turned off this particular guy, but certainly not because two individuals had a place to fall))
The virus itself originally came from outer space, as it was shown in the first episodes. Maybe the signal caught by Manusos is an antivirus?
Who knows what would have happened if Carol hadn't come in? No wonder they quickly all jumped out of the city at once.
Only Manusos didn't initially signal them down. Because at first he was sitting next to the guy without a receiver, and later he ran to the car and took out a notebook with wave numbers from his bag and took out the receiver from there. Therefore, it is clearly not the radio signal that affected them in this series, but it may actually be an antidote)
Eh, now we have to wait at least a year for the second season (
- Carol was very annoying in this episode, quickly and, frankly, her mind was somehow pointlessly obscured as soon as the Hive pissed in her ears, plus she forbade receiving her stem cells many times, but they didn't give a damn about all this, where is their honesty, which she defended in front of Manusos?
And the final accusatory "you won" made it even more like Manousos was to blame for something. 🤣
- The first meeting with Manousos is probably my favorite moment of humor concentration for the whole season. 😁
- The season ended well, I hope they won't keep us waiting long for the sequel, and in the comments to the second season we won't see individuals who are always unhappy and still watching.
P.S. HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU
The season turned out to be very cool for me personally, I liked everything, as I wrote earlier — "Vince Gilligan won't shoot any bullshit."
The scene on a green background with the fight for the phone was a bit upsetting...
Well, actually, I liked the series as a whole, it's just a pity there aren't enough episodes in the season, there would be at least 20 pieces, otherwise wait 2 seasons for 2 years for what? To find out that it is possible to block the signal? Is this the way to separate a person?
Although I will add, I like Manusos because he is not afraid that he will kill a lot of people and acts as he should, observation, testing, result. It was lucky that such a person remained himself and did not join them. Well, in general, I understand him, it's better to really kill everyone than if they stay like that, they're not people anymore. Even if 70% of the population has to be killed to save 30% from the virus, it will be worth it.
As I said before, this alien virus of slavery is obvious to me. But now we have realized that this is a smart, super effective virus. We were shown how they deceive people, how they managed to turn a girl into the same weirdo, this whole circus was in order to turn her, i.e. this is the main task of the virus, to turn an intelligent person into nothing.
Who is Otter in fact? Well, it's just a body, and they (the weirdos) gave her this body, and Carol just starts to get a liking for weirdos through her, although it's just a shell, there's no personality in the Otter, it's just one big collective mind that has all the memories of people.
And Carol was already so brainwashed that she grabbed a gun just to save the body she has sexual desires for, nothing more, it's so funny and brilliant, because she herself was doing the same thing as the Paraguayan, killing millions tens of millions of people with her tantrums, and now this Paraguayan is crazy for her, although He is the most adequate person on planet Earth at the moment.
And what is its super-efficiency? Or is it sarcasm?
First, the virus signal must be picked up by an advanced civilization. The chance of such a random event is about 0. Then decrypt. Then create a strain. Then a safety accident must occur for the virus to get out of control. The efficiency is off the charts.
Let the moment of infection itself be rather banal, but it is so filmed. This does not negate the ingenuity of the virus transmission scheme to the victim.
People are capable of great good and great evil, they torture their fellow human beings for their own pleasure and create the greatest art, advanced medicine and the destruction of themselves by industry, science and religion, reason and feelings, people are a spectrum and a vortex of cultures, and each person is a separate universe with a unique experience - two identical psychics simply do not exist It exists.
Therefore, for me, there is not even a question of which side I am on: what is shown is no longer humanity. Although opponents will say, "how great it is, because there is no crime and all social problems." Of course they don't exist - it's not a society anymore.
Manusos is super, although sometimes overly stubborn. But in this situation, it's more of a plus: if you have to die, it's better to remain a person until the end. His background is interesting: what shaped him like this.
In turn, Carol...just a human being, with his own weaknesses and sorrows, just like each of us. It's good that the illusion has been destroyed, I wonder what the pace of the series will be next, because Carol is actually a month away from applying.
The theory of the happy genocide of mankind is simple, a virus is being created that can only be caught by a civilization of a certain development, and all civilizations that have reached a certain level always strive for knowledge and development and for their domination.
And now humanity has caught this virus, the virus seeks to infect all beings of a certain level of development, i.e. man, this is his goal in itself, the virus does not deceive, but in fact deceives, by powdering the brains of the surviving people with flattery, gifts and appeases them so that they lose their vigilance and also become infected with weirdos.
And now the whole planet is left without humanity, in 10 years all the weirdos will die because they have nothing to eat, they cannot harm and cannot use the resources of the Earth.
And in this way, aliens arrive and, without war, settle in the pure Greenery without people.
And all people mercifully die happily and painlessly with a smile on their face, they are happy, but they are dead because they are not able to pluck an apple from a tree, such a creature is not able to survive, everyone needs resources.
And that's why it's a theory of the happy genocide of humanity. Without war and pain, people just self-destruct.
And if rukozhop hadn't been working in the lab and the virus hadn't escaped, would the whole plan have gone down the drain?
If he was purposefully sent to Earth, then this is some kind of too cunning and unreliable plan. It would be easier to terrorize some kind of lifeless planet, I think.
They connect you to a car and you "fall asleep." During sleep, you live your best life. Do you want to become a cool Hollywood actor? You are welcome. All the money in the world? Easy. The most beautiful girl? A car? A house by the sea? Do you want presidents to bring you breakfast?
And it feels real, not staged.
One disadvantage is that in reality you are sleeping and connected to the car. That's how you'll die when your body expires.
So the question arises, would you join it voluntarily? The sensations are more than real, the brain is deceived, the necessary hormones are coming. Constant happiness, joy, finally a controlled life, no more pain and suffering.
In fact, "connecting" is something similar, eternal happiness, and romance with Zosia is a kind of test drive. The whole point of happiness is that it can't last forever, that you have to try and suffer for it. So Carol got a "reality check." I like how Hive is like, "Come on, we're not going to force you, no way... Oh, no, we will)))"
Voluntary-forced labor, in general.
I even thought it was a sinful thing, maybe by absorbing the consciousness of billions of people, they receive an initial huge charge of happiness, which gradually dissipates, and that's why they are so happy about the same books by Carol? Because it is an external source of joy that is not available to them within their community.
Difficult, in short.
I understand that the scriptwriters were recruited from Zaunyvnaya Street, but what could the Apple technology giant have done not on Amatorskaya Street? It's a shame. Was there anyone talented in this team at all?
The actress plays everything with a stony face. He begins to look for the answer to the question about stem cells and, with the same stone face, finds the answer in eggs. With the same stone face, he puts an atomic bomb in front of the house. Every time, she has "complicated" emotions on her face. I understand that a garbage scenario is justified by a slow narrative, but it's already difficult to cram a brick face into this tralebus of excuses.
I have a comparison with this elusive meaning of a banana taped to the wall.
or an exposed toilet bowl.
Did he learn this from his interview with Zosia? Then she's right, Manuses guard is so precise and specific.
Carol, in a conversation with Manosos, had previously mentioned that:
- The other immune ones don't want to communicate with her.
- One day she drove the hive to the point where they left her alone in the city for 40 days.
Based on this, he could already question Zosia more specifically.
In general, it's strange, of course, that the other 10 don't understand that this is not a good thing. After all, the whole essence of humanity is the constant striving forward, to discover new things, to learn, even stumbling, even somehow, but this is our whole essence. Through the thorns to the stars, to swim. Without all this, people are not people. In short, either they are really stupid, or this is how their defense mechanism works.
Even Manusos was blown away by the atomic bomb at the end. However, I didn't quite understand why Carol was standing right on the doorstep. Is this a safety net for the day when they come with a thermos to take a sniff? Would he shoot her with a gun and blow himself up along with part of the city?
And an interesting question was asked above: if Carol demands to take her eggs, will they be given to her or not? Because Hive is very categorical about the spread and infection, and here "we will do everything for you, Carol" doesn't seem to work.
We look forward to the next season and a detailed conversation between Carol and Manousos. She should show him the board, and he should tell her about his ideas about the radio signal. Of course, I expected to see such a conversation in this episode, but we'll do it anyway.
And yes, Manusos is a beast, I'll be rooting for him :)
That's not how it works, as far as I know.
And yet, yes, I still really like the pace of the narration.
By tradition, they will now ask more questions next season and close the project...
He's the only one who has it right away.:
1) Motive. He literally has a lot to lose._
And
2) Resources. Where the main resource, of course, is the absence of restrictions in behavior
Okay, loneliness, the cuckoo is gone. But just after loneliness, you can at least behave like a normal person. In this series, we're ALL shown what's going on with Carol. They didn't tell her something to be so afraid of about Manusos. Even if you're afraid, to exchange two phrases with the dude who farted at you from Paraguay, and send him like I'm tired - well, fucked up! It wasn't that long ago that survivors talked to you the same way, well, fuck? As a human being, pour him a fucking cup of coffee, ask him how he wants to save the world, tell him what you've found. Is that too much to ask? Ask how you got there and help me work off the wounds, at the very least. Oh, how infuriating)
In general, it feels like if everything was predictable before, because we were given hints in previous episodes, then here we decided to fuck off, like do it unexpectedly and give a conflict for the final episode, considering that we still need to combine it.
How could you seriously believe that she was somehow particularly loved... lol.
Manusos honey is a normal experiment, he brought a radio with him, he's sitting reading electric books (imho they have them in Spanish, but okay). If the series was about him, four episodes would be enough)
She's just a dumb bitch.
Oh, Carol.. a lonely soul is understandable, but after saying that they love her as much as manousos, one could think that there is nothing personal in this "relationship", no feelings, no affection, and somehow shake things up, and not travel the world with zosia
At least the egg story had touched her after all!
If I were Manousos, I would have sent her away and stayed away =\ She spent a little over a month in luxury isolation, playing golf and arranging Michelin dinners for herself, while he was licking cans for a bean, and for some reason her mentality was completely blown away, but he had the strength to send los otros 100,500 times (I just liked it, I'll call them that now)) and overcome 9k on your own. Vaya con Dios, Carol Sturka, as they say)
It's clear that she didn't have the happiest marriage with Helen, and then she was given the physical embodiment of all her sexual fantasies on a silver platter, but I probably would have been more into it if she had broken down at least six months later... Apparently, for some reason, they don't want to stretch the timeline.
But it's funny with a bomb, of course) Maybe Carol will fly on it, waving a cowboy hat, like at the end of Doctor Strangelove🤠
If it's very stupid, then there's no question.
And of course there's a metaphorical bomb.
I'm going to scroll through the precepts of Gilligan's fans. I can't stand another second of the main character's brilliantly filmed living room.
I understand everything, Zosia is cool, but damn, you lost Helen because of the virus, and they would have eaten her if you hadn't intervened. Apparently, forty days of loneliness had a strong effect on Carol, it was downright psychological torture.
If the season had ended with Carol in this state, I would have been upset, but fortunately the frozen cells shot, and Carol returned to beast mode to fight the kindest virus in the world. I'm thrilled.
About the finale. I remember how in Breaking Bad the scriptwriters added a scene of Walter White buying a machine gun at the beginning of the season and then barely figured out at the last moment how to use it at the end. So, I hope this time they have at least an approximate plan in advance, because... 💀
about, but Manousos is just my idol, he doesn't give up until the last moment, considering that he really doesn't have anyone close to him, and he understands that he has to save everyone)
and Carol took a mini vacation and returned to reality again)) I hope she and Manousos will solve this problem of the return of humanity)
The first 3-4 episodes are intriguing - what happened, how it happened, what's next, a rebellious heroine who sees through "utopia" and so on.
And then herak - and just despondency and suffering, literally and figuratively.
All the significant plot content of the series could fit into 4 episodes instead of 9. Well, OK, add melancholy to the atmosphere - 6 episodes. But at least 3 hours of the series can be stupidly cut out and nothing will change.
And the finale is just about nothing - because in fact, the series ended with what happened at the beginning of the season - she wants to save the world again. Well, thank you.
Gilligan apparently forgot to take his pills when he was writing the script.
Why did the virus infect mice at the beginning of the season, but animals don't get infected in real life (for example, through eating or licking plates or biting)? Why would a mouse bite a human if the virus can't do any harm? why is the virus so ceremonious with the remaining ones, if no one asked all the first converts about anything - maybe the virus needs not so much to convert them as to study their genetic cause of the "misfire" (hence the need for stem cells)?
I also have a vague feeling that "we don't know how to lie" is just another pretense - they are too good at simulating, manipulating and pretending when they need to, and they also know how not to answer important questions.
as for the fact that he was sent for an advanced civilization: perhaps he was sent in the same way that earthlings are going to send now - just into space somewhere, maybe someone will "get lucky".
The series is, of course, wild class. Gilligan is a fucking genius, I repeat.
I really want a second season right now.
Otherwise, at the end of the season, I can say that I really liked the series)
Carol was pissed off at the moment and how well Manusos blurted out to her about a girl or the world))
Well, the atomic bomb smiled at the end, of course)
All in all, it's a very cool series. Yes, it's slow, yes it's long, and in some places it may be illogical, as other commentators write, but I personally am thrilled, and I missed it. Breaking Bad was my first series that I watched from beginning to end, and apparently Gilligan's style of filming is well imprinted in my mind, because I'm just drawn to the picture, the plot and the very idea of the series.
We met, and then what? We'll find out in a year
Everything would be fine and I like everything that is happening, but I want at least for the x2 — half of the season we were waiting for some progress in the line of struggle against "them". And in the end, a last-minute reunion? Thank you, we look forward to the next season.
Not in the sense that you guessed it, but about the fact that stem cells cannot be isolated from eggs, because they seem to form after fertilization. Well, it was the same, guys, you had a heated discussion about it! And I remember, and that's why checkmate?
Carol finally woke up. And it's funny that she chose the most proven tactic of mankind - nuclear deterrence. There is something well-known political about this.
I'm still waiting for it to end, and judging by the reviews, is there a risk of a repeat of the LOST finale?)
To the commentators with many letters, thank you, sometimes I don't read books as much as I do here.
Peace, friendship, red caviar!🎄
Overall, it's a good series with great actors.
But as if it could be cut by a good third, or even longer. Well, like when the plane lands at the beginning, it's clear that they're carrying a special virus for the girl, but of course we'll stretch it out for 5 good minutes. And so it is with almost every scene. You already know how the episode will end, but it will be dragged on and on..
Otherwise, I liked it! There are a lot of topics for discussion, it is advisable to watch the series in a straight company and try to reason about the topics.
Well, it's a mystery to me what Gilligan has planned for 4 seasons...
Let's face it, this is a stupid assumption. And there's no point in it. Any normal virus would immediately strangle all the uncontrolled ones, given the threat they pose. Against the background of the billions killed, these are specks of dust.
What surprises me is that the swarm is quite calm about the death of its own kind, and if a lion attacks any of them, they don't seem to be fighting off the prey from the predator, as this can cause pain to the lion.
The unconverted pose a clear threat and it would seem beneficial to them that they kill themselves, for example, a donated grenade suggested this idea.
But then why did Zosia, sacrificing herself, save Carol by covering her body during the explosion? Would she have saved her own kind in a similar situation? Probably not.
It turns out that an individual is more than just an object requiring conversion for the swarm?
It seems that the virus creates a maternal instinct in the swarm towards the unconverted.
Accordingly, a radio signal travels 660 light-years in 660 years.
A person is just not too lazy to look for absolutely neutral comments (which do not affect her in any way) and ignore them, sirius?
It's kind of pathetic. It's just, like, why?))
At some point, this behavior becomes interesting, and the question "Why?" is simply not ironic. I discovered, by the way, that this crusade could have started with discussions of Stalin in the comments to Episode 2. If it's not a coincidence, then it's downright ridiculous - but okay, we have what we have.
Thanks, now we really won't piss each other off.
and yes, by the way, thank you for your age - I feel like I'm 15 years old. but you've either forgotten how to count (although I don't know where you were looking for these numbers), or you're not playing well, drawing an unknown age in your sick brain.
"What are we going to do with her?"
- I don't know, I just asked for a nuclear bomb.
Despite the fact that she could have asked to stop developing her personal version of the virus.
They have less than 10 years to figure out how to return people to their identities, otherwise humanity will die out. And without the knowledge of the collective mind, they will not have time to do this.
And as for interpersonal relationships, it often happens in life, like Carol and Zosia: one goes into a relationship with humanity and a real spark and feelings, and the other goes into a relationship with the established pattern of his environment and is often not the most attractive, and it also turns out to be bullshit, and really just want a nuclear to bomb the whole world (metaphorically) because your depth was not understood and not accepted.
Istria about aliens is very original - I hope they will reveal the ent. The last episode was impressive - Carol was revealed as an extremely selfish character, showing that she does everything not to save humanity, but to save herself.
The first season feels like a prologue - then the fight against aliens will begin and it will be incredibly interesting.
10/10
"then the fight against aliens will begin, and it will be incredibly interesting."
copy
P.S. Series - The Magic of Cinema
to show Carol's sobriety so that she returns to critical thinking - well, just bravo!
I hope they will reveal to us with flashbacks how Manousos came to the conclusion that people's consciousness is on a certain radio frequency)
and of course the atomic bomb is just a fume)))
I also liked how much the "collective mind" turned out to be similar to AI, as Carol finally realized that Zosia was just an empty shell who had no feelings for her. It's funny that the author created the series when gpt was not yet in sight, but at the same time he got into the news)
Post-viewing Mood: Stephen King
That's how the subpoena is pushed through, drop by drop. Like, this is normal, this is how it should be. Gilligan sold out in his old age. I don't think I've ever suffered from shit-eating before.
It's literally the same as turning on TV in a Muslim country and criticizing that all women are covered.
but the fact remains that the West always promotes the agenda. because it's so profitable for them, it's necessary. It doesn't matter if it's soft power or just maintaining a social status that they themselves have inflated like a soap bubble inside.
I mean, you're not even hypothetically the audience for whom this is being filmed. You go illegally yourself, download it/watch it, and then "THEY PUSH A SUBPOENA THROUGH TO ME." Look at the domestic works, a lot of good things have come out recently.
No one will forbid it.
They have their own agenda, Soros, for example (who is also a Westerner), has his own. And we're not even the first audience here. They need to destroy their own, to begin with, oddly enough. We are a secondary target.
I don't know what you think about the "purpose" of this for a long discussion. but the agenda is always as readable as possible.
but that's just me, by the way.
because I often see another one from Chinese cinema. such an elevation of moral values makes one feel and seem to wake up in order to throw off the arrogance of individuality.
Probably, an offer has been received that cannot be refused. For example, gaming companies just get their hands twisted. The game will not receive funding without a propaganda agenda. However, in the end - go woke, go broke usually)
and it corresponds to the initial state of gg in any story - an orphan.
what are you afraid of, that after the series you want to become a lesbian? it doesn't work that way))
There seemed to be a rationale for the plot, too, so it was easier to put pressure on the heroine in the form of donated biological material. Here, by the way, for the sake of interest, you can practice by trying to remake the plot for the hetero, without losing the plot hooks along the way.
Why did it appear? This is the result of pressure on the creators, as an essential element without which there will be no work and funding.
Apple is one of the foundations of liberal propaganda. Gilligan was given so much money that he couldn't refuse.
PS: I'm not judging. It's always a matter of the amount)
Well, we now live in such a time, yes, with such a picture of the world. And it's even started to talk about who allegedly sold out there, who put pressure on whom, etc. The best thing you can do is keep your own sanity and ridicule motherfucking. Meanwhile, the pendulum has already begun to move in the other direction, fortunately.
What kind of "other popular TV series" is meant, I do not know. But if you have to scold someone, condemn someone, and laugh at someone, then I would use the fourth season of True Detective as an example. We should just try to make the most dumb, untalented leftist craft, as if it were assembled literally according to some kind of methodology. "Pluribus" can be considered almost neutral against the background of this.
it was interesting how it ended, but alas, the season of this series ended almost the same as any other series.
But in Rick and Morty, everything was better handled, and in the 7-minute episode "When Yogurt took over the World", everything is much tougher and more believable!
Manousos, unlike Carol, is smart, he just took and found out everything from the original source. And even the shit said that he was very smart and got answers to questions that they didn't want to give answers to.
If it weren't for this, then in principle, an ideal world, no one touches anyone, you can live far from everyone.
when she told Zosa in all seriousness that she should love her more than manousosa and everyone else should also answer with the truth only to her.... I just don't know, I'm clutching my head. It's like she's 5 and she's telling a friend from the sandbox that he has to give her a shovel, otherwise she'll tell her mom everything.
??????????
why on earth would they single her out in any way?
but the fact that Carol could have brought a bomb, I'm not surprised at all. she's a stupid monkey)
she can do anything, but it's unlikely to make sense or have any kind of plan.
I am sure that these are no longer humans - they are AI, which (as befits AI) strives for its development. That is why they are trying to understand why the virus has not affected some individuals and how to circumvent this restriction.
As I thought, there will be a traitor to the survivors. It was obvious, but there was no interaction between the 13 in the series. And the conversion of the new bee passed even faster than from chemtrails.
It feels like they tried it in the final. But the difference is that Carol initially knew that there was no Zosia. But she chose to believe a lie. Lock myself in a maniac, set up a San Junipero.
I hope the Manusos is not rear-wheel drive.
The plot unfolding is very weak. 70% of the timekeeping is useless, if not more. Even the finale didn't give any clues. Also, the remaining six were never shown.
Develop, get out of your comfort zone
but you can look at it from the other side - she is not stupid and understands perfectly well that no reference books will tell you how to cure humanity of the scourge. there is only one option - to infiltrate the swarm, become one of your own among strangers, and getting closer to Zosia is necessary only for one thing - to find out their weak point, which, judging by the direct questions that put the swarm into a stupor, exists. I have no doubt that by asking indirect questions, Carol has finally put the whole puzzle together and now knows exactly how to heal people. Surely the contents of the container are connected with this tool.
One can build different hypotheses, perhaps there is a connection with the radio frequency that Manusos picked up - maybe the swarm is communicating on it? Maybe you need a transmitter to break this connection, but why bring it in a container when all the largest radio stations in the world are available? Hopefully, the contents of the container won't be kept secret for long in the second season. I assume that there will be the following lines:
1. Frequent flashbacks regarding Carol and Zosi's "honeymoon."
2. I am almost sure that there will be a hot phase of confrontation between the remaining people. More precisely, between those who seek to return humanity to its original state and those who passionately want to leave everything as it is, we will not point fingers at it.
And it was only thanks to Carol that he came into contact with the converted, so how independent is he?
I was thrilled, especially impressed by the work of the frame directors, wow. And the plot is not boneless, I think most of us would be like that guy from Las Vegas) Showed that no matter how introverted we are, we need a human society.
Waiting for the sequel) I was very pleased with the series this year)
The chalet really reminded me of the place where Joel was killed.
but I agree, the idea of evaluating series with the length of a commentary tape is so-so
The narrative is a little different.
Everything went well at first. Slowly, but in his own direction. Then Carol was overwhelmed by the Mauritanian's lack of reaction to "human protein" — and then it turns out that the introductory ones have changed and the prospect of joining the broth has been neutralized. Carol exhales and softens in every sense.
Even before the main events, she was not enthusiastic about her lifestyle. And against the background of a global catastrophe, in a short time she was faced with loss, alienation (it is clearly visible that it hurts her), loneliness, with a lot of small things — like Helen's opinion about her magnum opus.
The logical thing happens. The direct threat has passed, and the heroine chooses the same thing as the other survivors. When the clock isn't ticking on your graduation as a person, what happened to others may not look so egregious. In a chthonic parasite that dissolves individuals and civilization, and leaves shells to starve, fauna, and any rustle, you can find "a lot of good things" — if you want to. That's understandable. I wouldn't even call it a chastisement. And the parallels with the rest of the immune and Vaikaro fans have such a backlight that take care of your eyes)
How did Carol get to the honeymoon with "Zosia"? According to the background, it is clear that she is not a virtuoso in search of a place in the sun, and chooses more "faint—hearted" but simple and convenient options that do not require spiritual expenses and provide superficial comfort. For example, she wants and could publish works that are close to herself. The editor mentally branded this an "average", but not an outright trash, unlike Vaikaro. Nevertheless, meeting a cool reception for something more personal and remaining in poverty is such a prospect.
The situation with the hive is similar. If you think about the state to which Carol eventually exhausted herself, in order not only to turn away from all her attitudes and consciously commit self-deception, but also to believe in him, it becomes sad. Well, at least for me)
At this point, her bowler hat perked up in time, and Gilligan finally brought along an antidepressant—like person who was not too far from science. With ready-made theories and a preliminary work plan.
I agree with the speakers who were mentally prepared for their last—minute meeting - it could have been worse.
But here's the thing. Around the middle of the season, after human protein and stem cells, the narrative turns to a line with "Zosia" and sticks there... how many episodes?.. At the same time, the main plot does not move in any way, the pieces of lore stop falling, the MVP of the season, Manusos, shuts up the timing with an intercontinental road movie. According to internal logic, this could be explained by his refusal to contact the hive, but hey! — when he finally gets to Carol, he gives up on it for the sake of the cause. After all, the trip was for the cause. The very branch of women's happiness with highmind could also be implemented differently — it plays a role in the character's image, but transparent, and, in my opinion, does not require so much space.
As a result, by the end of the season, the plot made a detour and rolled back to the middle. Of course, Manusos is here now, a big step forward. Compared to the previous content. It seems to me that this is the result of signing the series for two seasons at once — the first one was filmed with an attitude like a prelude, although one of the two or three-"until-Ray-gets-tired" implies composition and inner integrity. I don't mind a steady pace, but by the end I want a little more acceleration)
And I think I realized what's special about this series - the plot doesn't say much, and until some events happen, you constantly think about what remains behind the scenes in this world, it's like reading a book, thinking and visualizing the narrative.
Still, I think that there's not an atomic bomb in the box, but something else, Carol just told me that so that Manusos would fuck with the audience, and now we've been tormenting ourselves for two years about what's in the box.
I'm glad that the series was immediately signed for two seasons and the viewings are very high, so you don't have to worry about being closed.
Carroll already considers Zosia his property, he is already jealous, even though she is the same individual as the others! Carroll says if you loved him, you wouldn't do this, would you? What other kind of love did you believe in with the "monster"? She was offended that they wanted to enslave her, even though they had said so from the very beginning!
Manosos found exactly the right station, would it be possible to bring a person out of this state? He was pretty close.
What can I say at the end? The Mauritanian asked the right questions and learned a lot of the truth, the Paraguayan found a station that can help.. And what did Carroll do? She drank incessantly, broke everything, "killed people", but in the end she had Stockholm syndrome? Zosia already considers her own property, which owes her something! I had sex with her a couple of times, and then I was offended that her cells wanted to!)
Overall, the beginning was much more interesting than the second half of the season. I hope the second season will be more fun.
In general, in the era of neural networks, it certainly looks interesting.
I waited for every episode that the plot was about to spin.
But in the end, I hoped in vain.
Don't tell me I have to go see tiktok.
I really like measured, deep paintings. But I haven't seen anything "ingenious" here yet.
Everything is very slow, very long and leads to nothing.
I don't think I'll be watching season 2.
And what's your acting score? If you don't like an actress, it doesn't mean that she doesn't act well.
Well, yes, when you have nothing to answer, pretend that you suddenly became uninterested.
I don't really like this trend, it even scares me. I've been listening to Hs for 1.5 years, that's right. But watch movies and TV series at speed? I don't know...
But here we should also take into account that I especially like the post-apocalypse, perhaps I'm not very objective.…
However, I'm impressed with Carol, she's been praised for everything, but that's what makes her alive, isn't it?
P.S. there's definitely not a bomb in the container.
some people know how to shoot, despite the length of the scenes and the timing in general, while others just fluidly focused on this series.
Or the beginning of episode 2. Roughly speaking, 3 scenes for 8 minutes in complete silence. What for? So that what? If you cut them out, it will not affect the further understanding of what is happening at all. And so it has been all season.
And you know, as soon as I turned on the 1.5 speed, I watched the 2-9 episodes of the season in one day/evening in one gulp, without being distracted by the "phone".
But they filmed it God knows how many years ago. A lot of things today are not watchable. Take a look at something from the 20-30 years, today it just doesn't look like anything (maybe with rare exceptions). Time is passing, and the perception is different - what was normal back then is not relevant today (I'm not talking about the topics, but about the filming itself, techniques, etc.).
If everything is going to be too slow for you, then please, your right. But I'm expressing my opinion))
The first episode was cheerful and inspiring, although there was some doubt that the writer would be able to find an antidote to an extraterrestrial virus only if it turned out to be something simple. But with each episode that followed, my enthusiasm got lower and lower. Since all the episodes basically boiled down to showing how Carol spends her time and her alcoholism. And I could understand her tantrums at the beginning of the series, she lost her girlfriend/wife, but after the grenade incident, I somehow became disillusioned with her.
In between doing nothing and drinking, Carol tries to figure something out, but as soon as Helen's replacement appeared, she quickly abandoned the idea of saving humanity. And she returned to her as soon as the risk of her joining "them" loomed.
We could show you more about how "they" live. Zosia mentioned that people are still being born, it would be interesting to see how "they" raise the future generation and how they generally spend their free time, but "they" need to rest. Well, it's also interesting to me that animals can be carriers of the virus, but they themselves are not adjacent to a single system.
I liked Manousos more or less. He is more suitable for the role of the savior of the world. I expected him to get there faster, not in the last episode, and at least they'd give him more screen time.
back in the first episodes, I argued about this in the comments, naively hoping that someone would give answers to these questions ... THE AUTHOR, FOR EXAMPLE???
The Paraguayan is a crazy nutcase... He screams, leaves money, give him the bill for the hospital. Man, you.... Oh, kick-ass, anyway.
Well, what a fucking bomb... And what will they do? Intimidate them (hive) or what.... Well, that.
In general, the series is philosophical. I'm still thinking about everything. But I guess I'd choose happiness to join in. I don't care if I walk or suffer. A la hero, to be a rescuer... To think of himself as the navel of the Earth, to save humanity? Oh, that's right...
In general, happiness and no stress. Not looking for something out there. They don't know (Carol and the Paraguayan) what to do with themselves.
The line with the Paraguayan is a bit crazy, the scriptwriters overdid it, then he is principled to the point of stupidity that he is ready to die because of them, now he is already violating his principles, they probably just wanted to show beautiful views of South America)
, they have her eggs and she will inevitably join them in a couple of months
, so in any case, she had to come out of this illusion to find a solution to the problem
I watched the last three episodes in one gulp and am satisfied. I don't watch the series for the sake of promoting the plot, I just like watching what's happening on the screen. I even liked Manousos' trip.
The only negative is that it is now unclear how long to wait for the release of the new season. Hopefully not for two years.
Otherwise, I'd bet 7/10.
For me personally, the most powerful episode was with the girl from Peru. We have been clearly shown that after "conversion" all boundaries of culture, relationships and attachments are erased. It was as if the scenery had been assembled and the stage had been cleared.
Of course, the "gun" with the eggs went off, and we were told about them several times. In general, I almost immediately thought that they could be used somehow. Perhaps they will grow an embryo? Who knows.
Well, the final point is Carroll's understanding that Zosia doesn't like her as a person, as a person. Yes, and Zosia can't really love. It's sad and sobering at the same time.
The atomic bomb took out 😂
Carol tossed and turned, realizing that this was an illusion, but as a result, she still chose the latter between "saving the world" and "the joys of a love affair with Zosia." With this choice, didn't she demonstrate that she, like a number of other individuals in real life, doesn't care about others at all, her shirt is closer to her body? Financial limitlessness, a wonderful climate, golf, an evening bow in an expensive restaurant, a massage with several hands, a fireplace at a ski resort, a book by the pool, and a companion/companion swims in it (well, who has any preferences), whose main task is to make Carol happy, she certainly won't install a secret camera and she won't pretend that she likes Carol's work, the thrill of discussing the first chapter with them, all desires are instantly fulfilled, just pick up the phone and tell her. Not life, but every woman's dream. And the fact that the companion/companion has a fig in his bosom, well, it's the same everywhere in real life. And a nuclear bomb is every woman's realized dream of revenge for the fact that the idyll turned out to be a lie.
The good thing about the series is that each viewer reads their own meanings. And this is possible due to the fabulousness of the plot. Many thanks to the author of the idea for it.
The bomb has a strange square shape, by the way. It's not a cannon ball, it's supposed to be elongated, isn't it?
(but it's not a fact that Anthony's bond)
Therefore, the forecast for the next season: since all events are developing very slowly, Manousos and Carol, God forbid, in the last episode they will be able to heal someone. Alas, the cured character will not live long, because the emotions received from life in the highway are head and shoulders above those of an ordinary person. He will remember all this, be sad, and commit suicide. Therefore, the third season of gg will resolve these conflicts. Or the aliens will finally arrive!
To be honest, I'm sorry for the time spent. It was long, necessary, uninteresting — just boring.
So what kind of makar will this wonderful couple (in the person of Carol and Manousos) save humanity?
I'm waiting for their desperate confrontation with Diabate
The series has an interesting plot, but my interest in it was aroused after watching episode 4... for me it's a slow and drawn-out story that leads nowhere.
By the way, I noticed how Zosia's image and style changed at the end of the season, as if she had adjusted to the type that Carol likes, well, not as if, but it is.
The plot is not bad, we are waiting for the sequel. And, of course, it was possible to show a lot more in 9 episodes, but it's a big deal, but the picture is mega beautiful)
