while i agree with you, i’d like to add that we all can convince ourselves that someone likes/loves us and it doesn’t mean that we should *always* use those feelings to justify our actions, but i know what you mean.

consent is such an important word here, because the hive wants carol to join them and while it may happen with her consent, we know it’s not how it’s going to go. the hive wants to share their worldview and feelings with carol, meanwhile carol wants zosia to feel love for her, just her. #pluribus

it probably depends on what type of person you are now. i’d probably fall somewhere in between - i’d like to enjoy life, but i don’t think i’d like all those people to pretend we’re in a movie lol. also, i think mr d is abusing them, e.g. taking baths with naked women who can’t consent.

lmao fair, but at least you could order good food delivered to you for free

exactly! tbf i’d probably just sit around and do nothing, but she really believes she can fix it all (or believed, who knows what her plan is now)

hopefully! i’m wondering how they’re going to communicate and what they’re going to do since manousos probably ended up in the hospital.

speaking of koumba, i felt sad for carol after seeing his reaction. she wanted to be part of something, maybe not necessarily their group chat, but she needed a human connection with anybody and she was rejected, again.

supposed to be portrayed as a rude entitled american because this is one of the things that people in europe (probably applies to other continents too) say about americans - everyone has to speak english, it’d be best if they could spend dollars in europe, etc.

now let me respond to that because i think you’re right! i didn’t think of her behaviour as an act of rebellion, but you explained it perfectly - she’s extremely independent and has to be in control, so her little demands may feel like form of rebellion against the system. i do also think that she’s

another thing to add: this is a long journey. manousos’s travelling from paraguay to usa by car. he has to find petrol, food, water, places to sleep (he won’t sleep in a hotel or airbnb, obviously). if you, as a viewer, are annoyed with this journey, imagine how manousos may feel #pluribus

i’m scared like imagine what carol would do

i think she doesn’t ask because it’s the only human voice other than hers that she can listen to. she was annoyed at the phone message in episode 6, but it changed in episode 7, like she accepted it. not everything has to be efficient ;)

i love that the government is just people who think that us, commoners, won’t do anything to show them how their ideas don’t make sense

this whole thing is truly embarrassing. they don’t want to protect kids, that’s for sure.
