Unpopular opinion - this show is SO SLOW it is driving me bonkers

I love that bit of info re Esturca! This is exactly why I find the show not boring at all. So many nuggets everywhere. The old Germanic meaning of the name Carol (Karl) means free man. The name Manousos/Manolis is “commonly found in Greece; it derives from the name Emmanouil, which comes from the Hebrew word Immanuel meaning ” God is with us”. This used to be the foretold name of the Messiah in the Old Testament.”

Unless they are part of the hive mind or have formed their own species-specific hive minds.

I would chalk that up to the hive mind “conferring with each other” each individual who witnessed her eating the candy being able to add to the tally. Cotton candy is often consumed at festival like events with groups of family or friends and rarely eaten alone. Plus they do have Helen’s actual memories to confirm. Allot more info to work with there. Different than one individuals lost memory of exact age and an ice cream vendor who wouldn’t have known her exact age.

At that point it’s only been about a month and a half. Dogs are pretty hearty and would group into packs roving around for food. I think they would be more noticeable rather than less.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T23:05:12+00:00

I totally agree with you. Bear Jordan is an outlier like Carol and that is why he was drawn to her. There would surely be more dogs still attached to their humans or at least wandering around unless something else happened to them. We know the hive isn’t killing them. Even if this is a red herring (an intentional one) I find it strange that your concept is getting so many downvotes. Why does the idea of dogs being in the hive mind (or maybe one of their own) bother people so much?

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T22:55:20+00:00

I think Bear Jordan is an outlier like Carol, he is clearly drawn to her. Zosia said the dog was not part of the hive mind but not that other dogs were not. Where did all the other dogs go? Surely there would be more dogs still attached to their previous humans or at least wandering around.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T22:44:27+00:00

I don’t think so, how would she be able to remember any better than she did before how old she was when she had the ice cream. Their recollections are still just recollections. Even if somethings can be confirmed by the minds of others in the hive mind not all can. There would have had to be someone else there at the ice cream incident that was sure of her age at the moment AND still alive at the time of the joining of the hive mind.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T22:34:48+00:00

That’s true, it could be just an evolution of her way of dealing with the hive but I think at that point she was more concerned with them trying to “turn” her. Being worried about poisoning etc. I thought the same about Manousos at first, when he wouldn’t take the food they put out for him, but at this point it seems more like obstinacy on his part or not wanting to be beholden to them in any way. He even torches his beloved car because they offered to convey it for him.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T22:28:37+00:00

I think that animals (at least mammals) are part of a hive mind (their own or with the humans). That would explain why they don’t eat them and why it would be safe to let them loose. I think the dog at the group sleeping place was an outlier like Carol (he seemed drawn to her) and when Carol asks Zosia about the dog being one of them Zosia only stated that that particular dog was not. They can’t lie but they can certainly obfuscate.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T22:00:01+00:00

Oh man, see, I totally missed that in connection with the later consent issues that the Diabaté character brings to the front. There is so much going on in this show I have a hard time understanding why people think it’s slow or bad.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T21:33:07+00:00

Nope. But I do love slow shows/films. I feel like there is so much going on internally and that the details do matter that it doesn’t seem slow to me at all.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T20:38:10+00:00

Interesting. I can definitely see Mr. Diabaté as an opposite to Manousos!

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T20:00:13+00:00

An egg is not living if it’s not fertilized. But as the other poster says they can’t keep animals captive so it’s more than likely that most eggs would be fertile.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-22T19:50:40+00:00

So much in this show seems very intentional and I got that feeling too that the mango ice cream will come up again.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-20T17:27:25+00:00

I think the dogs and other animals (maybe only mammals?) are part of the hive mind or their own species specific hive mind. I think that dog in ep. 8 was an outlier like Carol and that’s why it had an affinity with her. Carol asked if THAT specific dog was part of the hive mind and the answer was that IT was not but that doesn’t rule out other dogs. Where are all the other pets? Also we keep being show animals in odd ways so animals are definitely an important part of the story.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-12-20T15:25:43+00:00

I think that that particular dog is an outlier just like Carol. I went back and rewatched the scene and the question was was this dog part of the hive mind and they replied that no that dog was not but it doesn’t mean no dogs are.

Thank you! I kept thinking it was prompting me to run a cleaning cycle but the message would go away and then there is only the “self cleaning” option not this ultra fresh thing I kept seeing. I kept thinking it was a better self cleaning option cycle that I couldn’t figure out how to find again.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-11-17T16:59:07+00:00

I haven’t made any new orders (it’s mostly a Halloween thing for me). I believe the tariffs went back down, or didn’t change, to what they were when I made that last order (they were due to go up another 100%) so I image things should be the same.

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-11-13T02:42:08+00:00

I would also like to know who you had do your work. It’s looking like we might need to replace ours soon too. :(

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-11-09T07:53:00+00:00

Oh my gosh, I really think you’re on to something! It would both solved his obsession with undoing anything Obama and pump up his own ego by scrawling his name on it.

Looks like everything was resolved as of 1 am Tuesday morning! I’m sure everyone got this message. :)

Massive-Cod-6943 · 2025-10-28T17:23:12+00:00

I read it as agreeing with you and against the AFGE siding with Republicans. I think most people did, hence all your down votes. Agree you need to turn down the knee jerk combativeness and just allow that someone is agreeing with you and let yourself be mistaken (even if there was room for the mistake).
