Anybody watching "Pluibus"? I just finished episode 2 ***spoilers***

I'm hooked, even though I find it horrifying.

What a nightmare scenario!

I find the idea of having a hive brain just beyond terrifying. I don't want to know everything anyone has ever thought about me.
Ugh!!!

Also, considering the hive, or whatever, has all the wisdom of every human, they sure seem to do some stupid things.
Like, setting zoo animals free?
That's not kind at all!

If I were in Carol's place, I would have lost my temper over that!
That's consigning most of those animals to a cruel death.

I do suspect that somehow this infection is a set up for an alien invasion.

I'm also really disappointed by the five other "individuals" Carol met.
You'd think at least one would be freaked out by such a radical change in the world.

I've watched all 3 episodes released so far. As a huge fan of both Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn, I've been looking foward to this for months. It has not disappointed! The only thing I am sure of is that this was set up by that alien signal. But why? I suppose we are much more compliant as a happy hive, but....? Each episode so far just keeps raising more questions, so I will wait for you to see the 3rd episode before saying more. I will say that I am intrigued on many levels, but that's part of what Gilligan does oh-so-well!
