I think this theory has some merit. The hive mind is the basis for Judeo-Christian religion (and maybe others...) and after seeing how they failed to make a peaceful mankind they are going to forcibly turn it back into the Garden of Eden.

Interesting note: Carol might be the anti-christ and have 12 disciples.

an insufferable college-educated liberal white woman is the anti-christ?


I'm in.

glad i waited a week so hopefully only 1-2 days before next episode, that was a whoozy of a cliffhanger. Kinda boring episode but I still liked it, Carol really struggling with being alone and I empathized as someone who does like being alone. Really fantastic performance from Rhea Seahorn.

i hope its not the obvious thing, soylent green. But its hard to imagine it being anything else now.

The scene with the drone picking up the trash was hilarious.

Someone earlier asked if it's shown any babies yet. In the first episode there is a baby in a carrier that almost gets knocked off the hospital counter. Carol catches it and we see her look inside and be horrified - presumably because the baby is also seizuring out. So it's implied it's effected babies as well, yes.

As far as the speculation about the wolves being part of the hive, I don't think it effects animals. The scientists at the start said it had no effect on any test subjects. That would imply no animals had seizures or weird behaviors. Also, the fact the wolves were aggressive, there was a mention of the released zoo animals attacking people, and the rat bit the scientist implies they aren't part of a hive - as the hive can't willingly harm. I assume any animals exposed become carriers of the rna sequence - but are otherwise uneffected.

All in all really digging the show and can't wait to see what happens Friday
