It’s intentional to help you feel the monotony and solitude that she was living through. I found it an interesting if painful trope.


Yes, I'm well aware! But tropes grow tiresome quickly (think SpongeBob, "I ripped my pants!") and it's not funny by the 10th time.

I wonder about babies and children - other than the one son of the Indian woman, we haven't seen any kids at all. Are people still procreating? If so, who raises the children?

I think they have been saving meat in freezers just for her. I mean, if there’s only 1 of you eating, the albeequeque Costco will last a good long while.


But they will eat meat too - they just won't kill it.

I saw a theory that they have the collective knowledge but obviously not the physical capabilities, so they’re sitting around in rooms practicing motor movements while they grow.


But how does Zosia have that skill with the game she played, Carol says that it’s muscle memory yet Zosia shared it. So can like a toddler perform brain surgery?

This last episode was interesting - Carol seems committed to reversing the hive-ing, but also seems to sincerely enjoy Zosia's company while trying to get her to individualize.

Or was it all a cover for her to get information?

A PP mentioned that the hive is going to extraordinary lengths to appease the individuals left, and that indicates the individuals can likely reverse the entire condition by doing something simple. I think this is where this is leading.

I kind of like the slowness. It’s relaxing to watch instead of shows that are intense or fast paced.


Agree. I love the pace and find all the little details interesting and revelatory, not boring at all.

I think getting people to remember a bit of their individuality is going to be Kay to breaking the hive.

I still have so many questions about the logistics and why no one is ever in a bad mood. They are all sleeping on the floor but don’t end up with stiff backs? This makes no sense. Are peoples physical discomforts just being suppressed along with their personalities? So somewhere under the hive mind there’s a woman grossed out at sleeping with the Las Vegas guy, a a person grossed out by drinking dead person juice, and a person really sad that they were separated from their child?? I think that’s what so creepy. What happened to the individual preferences? Are they still there or just gone forever?

Nobody saw last night???

I’m still here, still dying for Manousos and Carol to finally meet. I love that batsh— crazy man.

I think Carol managed to finally pull out a bit of Zosia’s individuality out and it would be neat if the solution wasn’t a “tech” one.

And what happens to people when they’re disconnected? Do they still have all of the memories of the Hive? The knowledge?

Manousos seems wildly capable- why didn’t he just take a boat around the gap?

Is it just me or is the actor who plays Manousos very, very sexy?

What is going to happen when Manousos wakes up in the hospital?



HA! I had all of the same questions/comments!
Wildly capable - 100%
Very, very sexy - 100%
Why not a boat??? Exactly what I was wondering.

I understand he refuses to ask for any help whatsoever from “them,” but I was so hoping he would just take them up on the offer to fly him to Albuquerque.

It seems from the date display the show uses that he’s in the hospital for a long time. I wonder if he’ll accept their help to get to Carol when he’s recovered or if he’ll just continue driving.

Too bad we know they won’t be falling in love, but it’ll be interesting to see what kind of relationship they form.

I might have cried a little when Carol embraced Zosia at the end. How lonely she must be at this point!


pp you are responding to- my husband didn't get it! But he was jealous.

"He's not even that handsome."

"I didn't say handsome. I said sexy. Crazy sexy."

I think things aren't going to be rosy when Menousos makes it to Carol and find her palling around with Zosia. Menousos is hard-core and laser focused in a way that Carol isn't. He's going to look at her the way she looks at Diabete. The man set his favorite possession on fire just so the Hive wouldn't touch it. Carol is hitting golf balls into office buildings.

And can you imagine what Menousos would do if he met Diabate, someone who is using stolen bodies for his own entertainment and pleasure? He would consider him a rapist, which, well, he is.

I think Menousos failing to get a boat was just a plot contrivance so that he would need the Hive which is my least favorite thing in the show so far.

The episode was beautiful and cinematic but way too slow. If it was a Youtube video I would have put it on 2x speed.


It was slow, but I also found his trip beautiful (not the Darien Pass part!). One thing I am getting supremely sick of is the telephone message that we have to keep sitting though every time Carol calls to make a request. Maybe now that she's reunited with Zosia/everyone, they can cut that.


I liked the journey and I didn't even mind the phone message but the rest was SO SO SLOW it was a killer!!
