I don't follow. How can you test a truth serum on yourself by yourself? She just seemed completely confused and delusional to me.

I actually would have asked for a tank and not rhetorically. Plus I could think of some cool bitchin post apocalypse vehicle for living away from the swarm. They would of course build it for you too!
By the way my wife never heard of sodium pentathol or what ever. I'm like bitch have you never seen a spy movie?

it's well established that this show only works by having the protagonist by an insufferable dyke bitch. A man would of spend the first week pumping loads into every supermodel that survived the conversion and then fixed everything already.

yeah vince gilligan said he originally came up with the show with a male lead but realized the show would just basically be a porno for the first season so switched it to a woman lol

That dude was hard core eating that dog food! Maybe he comes into play later in the series?

That schizo fanfic video linked earlier about the whole twilight zone 600 year space flight shit was pretty retarded but it was right about one thing. Unless something changes or they handwave it away the 7 billion hive mind people have about 2 weeks left before they all starve to death. The entire human food chain relies on killing a lot of creatures at industrial scale and just in time logistics means they're already living on canned/processed food at 1 week in. I mean they kind of teased this when they had zero lobster available like day 2, but the reality is that applies to literally everything not preserved and there simply isn't enough to feed 7 billion people.

people just need protein, fat, and carbs to survive and probably half of the planet lives on little to no meat for 70-80 year lifespans. lentils, rice, and some fruit and most people will be fine and fat fucks would get skinny
like 30-40% of food produced is wasted world wide, because we are shit at getting food from A to B.
a hive mind would solve that problem instantly and nobody would starve and almost no food would get wasted. A hive mind would be infinitely more productive when it comes to nutrition, as they would have centralized kitchens (and living too) reducing massively the amount of heat/food waste. The current distribution system of everything is nuts if you think about it as an alien
sucks for me since i eat steak or chicken daily and i hate beans but i also know cows/chicken are way more wasteful than rice/beans, but fuck the Earth

Oh man have I got some news for you.
Even an entirely vegetarian diet requires large scale industrial farming which kills millions and millions of wild animals, not including the deaths of billions of insects via pesticide/etc.
They literally can only do hand foraging to avoid killing animals, which will feed about 7 people. they've got like 2 weeks to live max.
Don't even got to worry about hypotheticals like what it takes to process petroleum into fuel, you literally cannot use any machinery to farm if you are even pretending to avoid killing animals, not a plow not a tractor certainly not a combine harvester. It's all gotta be done by hand and it will take about 75% of the worlds population in manpower to feed 100%, except you aren't going to get anywhere near enough yield farming by hand to feed 7 billion people, without pesticides insects will eat half the crops before you get them out of the ground.
its either hand waved away mcguffin style or everyone starves to death in the next few episodes.

I wonder how muscle memory/physical capability works for the hivemind. Like does every single person in the collective have the ability to do every physical activity to the extent of the most talented person on the planet? This is of course obeying the actual physical aspects of the individual involved. Like can every person now throw the world's best curveball and perform the most complicated of surgeries? Is every person now a potential super soldier with every bit of worldwide combat knowledge? A veritable Taskmaster if you will, but for EVERYTHING and at the absolute highest level. I wonder if the hivemind is an alien (or is it?) AI attempting to branch out into organic beings to attempt further expansion/integration/knowledge building. The main thing I don't like about AI being the bad guy is it's just... too on the nose for 2025. Vince Gilligan is way smarter than that.
