the way he was talking , and way he was copying her eating made me think he was a hive mind trying to seem human but nah i think he’s just weird and french

i f***ing love the paraguay man. my moms a b**** too bro.

They really tried that mom s*** on the one guy it wouldnt work on 🐐

also where does carol go from here? i feel like Got Milk was a whoooole set up for HDP, which immediately shot it down

she should use her hot tub while she still can, that’s what i’d do

i felt so f***ing bad for her pure silence ”i was just kidding” NOOOOOOO

her meeting up with Paraguay will hopefully be good for both of them

Broadly, a time too short or too long to get the attitude of something across.

Like you, I think that pace is largely a perception, but it works both ways. Both the viewer and the creator observe it, and while the creator obviously gives authority to the pace of something, it doesn’t mean that they’re “right” any more than the viewer is. Vince Gilligan and Gandja Monteiro aren’t perfect beings incapable of being “wrong.” Executing something exactly the way they want to doesn’t mean it can’t be perceived by some who watch it as poor.

You can’t just rebut every criticism by saying that’s how it’s supposed to be, because far more often than not, that will be the case no matter what you’re watching, reading, or listening to.

which makes him the most dangerous man on the earth to the rest of the survivors , he’s the only living thing with the ability to kill the remaining when they try use frequency to turn them back . They already alluded to This as well when the hive said they can not guarantee the safety of carol from the survivors

hearing Rhea talk on the podcast, it’s so wonderful such a passionate artist for this job. she gives a f***. and Miriam as Helen seems like the perfect acting partner for her. i’m glad they’re both getting this in their career

Between this and Weapons, 2025 is the year of the high-concept sobriety metaphor

The main issue here is that y'all only think of fiction as just a plot device, nothing else matters not the physicological study, the mood, setting the tone, scenes taking it's time to savor and observe all the characters and actors' nuance and detail and the technical aspects of it, the same way any person interested in art consume every other artform, name it music, painting or literature. The only "correct pacing" for some people is the one that focus solely or vastly on plot, can't even fathom that other ways to approach fictional storytelling even exist, that there's more than storytelling than just plot

That’s a very big generalization. I never once mentioned plot. I said attitude, and that encompasses everything that you mentioned. When it comes to pacing, the actual time matters far less than what you fill the time with.

Saw this on the pluribus discord earlier and it was another example of redditor's creative writing after they checked the account posting history

Refrigerators can advertise?

It’s obviously fake but yeah there has been smart fridges forever

No surprise that The 5th Step was the biggest play of the year too

Hello Carrol

We are Charlie Kirk

The frozen eggs/stem cell theory doesn’t really make sense to me considering they clearly want to avoid making Carol upset… and her finding out they stole her eggs would probably send her into a rage that would kill the entire planet

In a situation where she is the final one or close to it . She is currently lonely and upset misses zoisia they are communicating with her via signs .

Like I doubt they do the embryo method it’s just something to note

No traffic but crazy far to go in a car that he is in right now

lol she was hyped to lecture him more about how he should be panicked too . I think that’s part of what makes Carol unlikable to some. She could ask the hive anything yet centers it on herself under the guise of caring about humanity returning to normal .
