        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.

        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.

            It's been a long time since a show has captured my imagination like this.

            The other day I had nothing to do at work in the office, so I just opened notepad and started typing out Pluribus ideas.

            ::: spoiler spoiler
            What would I ask the Hive for?

            How would I solve their food problem?

            What could the cure be, how would I prevent them from conversion me, etc etc.
            :::

            It's a great show that can do that.

                  No problems, I accept your apologies. I just wish the 3rd-episode would drop into my PLEX like it is supposed to, so I continue.

                    I hear Jellyfin is the new plex. Regardless the show is worth torrenting now rather than waiting on 😜

                          Thank you, I appreciate that, is rare in The Internet.

                          We need to be exchanging with each other, more often. Even if we disagree,

                          That is the way I think, outside the box & anti-Capitalism, now that we are moving to Feudalism, have to say, & anti-Capitalism & anti-Feudalism.
