in the first episode when they showed Gaza or whatever they were loading the dead into trucks that said dairy or some such in Arabic

Yeah even before the most recent episode there were a lot of posts on the internet talking about how much "milk" is being shown. It's funny that the milk appears to be a total red herring, since I imagine there are many containers for transport of their soylent amber.

I'm glad they spent an episode having Carol discovery the surface level logistical problems of letting all the animals go free. I hope they go further into it but I doubt they will except to create a big answer like "we only needed like, 5 million humans" or "we lied" rather than some meticulous, math-backed explanation around their economics of creating soylent green.

The animal release instinct is way too big of a weakness for an alien race taking over a planet by turning its sentient species into slaves. We'll see how it turns out!

Like I said I think the wolves was just foreshadowing, scavenging the dead, for the fact that the hive was also scavenging the dead to make their soylent green.

Of the possible source of the hivemind im still on team mass effect 3; a species tasked an ai to end galatic wars and it did so by bioengineering a virus that is concerned only with infecting everyone and spreading, once everyone is infected they repropagate the signal to the next world..while their lack of self preservation or ability to cause harm leads to their extinction.

But its possible that the hive mind evolved naturally on some peaceful garden world and this is its natural state, its never encountered a death world before or one where the dominant intelligent life went to such extremes to increase their population past the point that can be naturally supported, requiring so much death to sustain it.

I agree that the rules its programmed to follow doesn't lend itself to a bioweapon engineered as a precursor to invasion, not at least for enslavement, perhaps only one concerned with resources. The hive infects everyone, calls home to let them know the planet is pacified, then they die off.

What did Carol see!!!?!?

I assume bodies. What do you think they did with all the corpses. This would be recycling!

im honestly not going to rewatch, but the radio shit was amatuer bands. he either has experience in vince's world or was quickly able to pick it up. the age / setup puts it more in line with a hobbyist already.

it was close enough to assume he was trying to communicate with any other human out there. this is basically the default that humans go back to in emergency situations when trying to communicate. HF waves. You do not need a lot of power to communicate across the world.


this individual would 100% fully understand the hivemind can listen to him. i believe the scene was to indicate to him, a non english speaker, there is another human out there trying to communicate with him.


he probably sees her as infected (not tranmissible)/trick/whatever.

I saw a theory that isn't immune he is just being very careful. That's why he isn't touching anything of theirs or eating their food. Not sure it's plausible with how infectious this thing was.
