[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just caught up with the show and read this thread.

- The people complaining about pacing are going to have to deal with it.  Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul both had similar aspects, leaning heavily on showing repetition and “setting” shots that intend to immerse you in the world of the characters.  It paid off immensely in those shows snd I hope it does so here too.

- Up until the Darien Gap, Manousos was “paying” for gas and other items.  The idea that he would have stolen a boat at that point would have felt like a character break.

- I am also wondering how they are going to deal with procreation.  Especially knowing that starvation is likely.  That’s the topic that does make it seem more like an alien invasion where they use resources and then move on (not in the physical sense, but beaming their way of life).[/quote]

On the last point, if it’s like a virus that wants to repllicate, a virus only “cares” about killing its hosts if that means it can’t spread.  So if the goal is just to have humans send the virus code out to additional planets (which they presumably are doing), the hive might not care much about human extinction/proceeation.

The question carol never seems to ask which is driving me nuts is … if you weren’t skiing in aspen with me, what would you be doing?  It seems like none of them have individual desires/intetests.  So do they just work and then stare at the wall?   And how do they decide who does what work since they are all equally capable?  Why isn’t the ditch digger asking for a turn at a desk job?  Who is allocating the resources?  Even the proletariat needed a vanguard.  A hive has a queen bee.  It’s not 8 billion people coming to instantaneous consensus over how to organize each little task every day, is it?

This is what seems to make procreation problematic.  No one has an individual urges so ….. basically they would only have sex if/when the hive decides to allocate those resources in that direction???

PS they should inseminstr carols eggs to manouses — presumably their babies would be immune to the virus?  [/quote]
