Why do we hate Manousos? In a portion of the time Carol's had since the joining, he's developed anti-Joining theory and test applications, using only reference material in a language he doesn't know.

Still see nothing to dissuade me that the critical conflict is Carol deciding between letting the Joined win and a Manousos 'solution' that may or may not work but will kill millions.

I don't. He knows what he has to do, and he's doing it. He's figured out they communicate via radio waves, and is pretty sure everyone still has their marbles, but they are being suppressed in some way. I'm pretty sure Carol's main job in the story from now on is to pothole his progress....she's become too enamored with that alien mind pussy.

Yea she asked for and was given a nuke, i assume incase they come back she can just nuke ABQ lol, or if they do turn her she can have Mano kill her.

She cant eat any food given to her now from them nor interact with them. They dont need consent to turn people (though they prefer it). Her fun times with the Hive is done.

Man I bet that dude on reddit who posted that long scientific explanation on how you can't get stem cells from frozen eggs is really mad that the show doesn't care and is totally using that anyway.

What difference does it make? I thought Carol has to willingly accept conversion?

Carol has to willingly provide stem cells from her bone marrow since its a "violent" procedure that they cannot do without permission since they cannot harm life. If they create and use stem cells from her frozen eggs (even if its sci-fi, well so is the show and it creates a timer), that's just the breaks like when they contaminated food, transmission via non consensual kiss or via airplanes like the first episode.

Transmitting the virus at this point also does not need to be consensual but there is less risk for them if it is. Carol has about a month before she will have to cut herself off like Manousos originally did, hence the nuke. They will not willingly risk her or Manousos life by flying a plane or drone over to infect her as it risks them detonating it.
