‘Pluribus’ What Do You Think? What I would have Preferred,
-
I really like this series & find it unique & interesting, though I do not have Apple + streaming service & It is not yet downloading in order & all the episodes to my ‘PLEX’ service, so all I have watched are FIRST-2-EPISODES, SO PLEASE NOTHING ABOUT EPISODES PAST 2ND.
What is your opinions?
SPOILERS-
I do love the idea that our stupid need to explore space (while <not in the series> on Earth there are huge, sick & evil problems that gets push aside) causes a microscopic beings into Earth & they escape through scientist. With that being said, I am so tired of this Individualism in our society & is manipulated a lot for Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes’/Owners’ increased wealths, thus her trying keep what makes her an individual & trying to save what all of her species members individuals (personality & such) is the only story line. I also love that the microscopic Beings do not want them to want for anything or come to the least bit of harm. I love how interesting it is when the main character passes-out, I assume from drinking or gets angry, they freak-out/rush over to help her, only to drop to the ground & pass-out themselves. Though I can guess where that is headed,See if you think this would have been a better story line to the series-
Our stupid need to explore space & need for Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners to make profits/wealths over everything else, while on Earth there are huge, sick & evil problems that gets push aside. It bites our species in the BLANK when we decide to kidnap a microscopic Beings back to Earth, with returning robots & they escape within a scientist, because she accidentally injects herself with some of them. The microscopic Beings are of two-make-ups, one is like ‘The Pluribus’ series where they are all of one-minds & no room for individuality & the other make-up is all are individuals & no room for shared existence, no matter how many bodies they both take over. Both are the problems, The not infected/controlled people are individualistic, unlike ‘The Pluribus’ series microscopic Beings, but they can also come together to act as one, not just because they can share one-mind, like the microscopic Beings, more importantly, over time they learn they can respect, understand & Etc. work together for the betterment of the species & for the species survival. Thanks to appreciating their shared experiences, from the good & bad happening all around them. Thus they can do what both (I guess that is the best scientific term to use) families of species of The Microscopic Beings can do, at will though, switching back & forth. Sure I like how the members of our species that cannot yet be turned are far from healthy members of our species. Like the main character is a alcoholic.
People have asked why, so I will put it here for all to read,
I am tired of the individualistic BLANK in our entertainment, when really if honestly look at our country, let alone most countries (especially Capitalist & Caucasian dominated countries), individualism is the problem & is manipulated by The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners for their benefits.
Look at The Canada & Scandinavian Countries, where just being respectful, understanding & Etc. working together for the betterment of their lives, thanks to appreciating their shared experiences, from the good & bad happening all around them. Result better countries & people living in them. Of course I agree the people, in the above, are almost entirely Caucasian & thus that are not & already there are treated a lot worse (like Canada’s Indigenous peoples) & those non-Caucasian people trying to get in have go through tons of Capitalist dominated EU countries that try make as hard as possible to get through.
I really enjoyed the show and look forward to more. There’s a lot going on in terms of metaphor use, with Vince Gilligan’s somewhat dry humor.
I just torrented the whole series since I’m also not subbed to Apple at the moment.
Got me to finally go back to watch Better Call Saul which I just finished recently! And now I’m back onto Breaking Bad for the second time.

What are those?

Yes, this show is the perfect example of Blue & Orange Morality.
The aliens simply do not make sense to us here. And that's the point.
Great phrase for this that ive never heard. Tvtropes warning yall.

I think this is a very small grievance. I don't recall if that girl was the only person in the cockpit at the time, but you can just imagine there were two other hived there if you want to.

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying it seems like a small oversight that doesn't really change anything regarding the hive as a whole. You can just imagine there were two other people in the background.

So far as I've seen you're purely focusing on them being reckless with the plane as contradicting their ethos.

I just don't think the plane thing is that deep here. I think the writers just used it to illustrate that anyone can fly planes now so they use some teen girl for that.
So I'm asking for other examples.

That’s the problem! I do not know how you fail to realize this, but that’s the damn problem!
Because I don't think it's that important. When it comes to little oversights like that I can just view it as if a couple of other people were also in the cockpit (in this instance) and nothing changes.
If the entire motivation of the species is to minimize waste and impact down to a single human, using anything close to such a plane is absolute insanity. That’s still ignoring the logistics that such a plane is LITERALLY DESIGNED TO BE FLOWN BY MORE THAN ONE PERSON.
They've shown repeatedly they'll be very wasteful for the survivors wishes. Given that there's only 12, on a planet scale, it's non-existent.

Dude, stop being ridiculous. I didn't block you.

Jesus, so you're Skavau. Did this dude seriously just edit every single comment they made under this post just to mess with you?

Amazing series.
Your take is weird.

His entire post history under the false idea that I blocked him.

That is wild.

Your post confused me a bit so I want to clarify: you're proposing an alternate path for Pluribus, where instead of one strain of the Joining virus there are two; one strain is the classic "no room for individualism" as we see in the show, and the other gives room for individualism but also creates a shared pool of knowledge between the "infected"? And there are still those who can't be "joined" by either virus strain/version?
Do I have that right?

There’s a lot going on in terms of metaphor use, with Vince Gilligan’s somewhat dry humor.
What are those?
I forget everything at this point but there’s the stuff like how isolating the automated world can be, there’s the weird AI chat bot angle. And the main plot elements like how it’s a little alien, a little virus.
Maybe those are the main ones, but it’s interesting the different little elements of those they can mix into the main actual premise.
And Vince Gilligan’s dry humor seems to come from often come from living in those awkward silent moments. Both the ones between characters and others like just waiting to watch something play out expectedly or unexpectedly.
