Well this looks interesting. Creepy af.

Not the usual type of viewing for me. But I like the writer so I'm giving it a go.

Anyone else watching?

@RunSlowTalkFast - yes, guess it could be. But the dead ones would run out eventually, and then they might be a bit stuck? Suppose they could just keep using the ones that die naturally...if they do....they could live forever!

@boatyardblues - ooh, I like this. That makes sense (in the context of the programme!)

This is all very exciting. I really should get out more...

Like the "fruitarian" who Hugh Grant dates once in Notting Hill, who only eats fruit and veg that has fallen off its own accord. "So, this carrot? Yes. Murdered." They eat people but they don't kill them.

@boatyardblues I like the logic behind (if not the sound of) your theory.

Can anyone remember what research the lab scientists at the beginning were doing on the rats? I think there will be a clue in that.

They don't show many children so could be.

I just think that Carol's reaction seems a bit off for something like that

They were doing something with the signal I think

Thanks Duncin. I asked DH and he said “the DNA sequence” so he agrees.

They were injecting rats with the ‘virus’ that was sequenced from the code in the signal to see what happened.

I think the ‘human derived protein’ is made from babies and toddlers, it took Carol a while to react with horror at what she’d seen so maybe they’d been butchered already and weren’t instantly recognisable as body parts?

My theory was dead dogs and now reading here I can see that's a bit of a silly theory 😅🐕‍🦺 woof woof anyway

it was the dog food that brought Carol there, I don't think it is that silly.

I haven't noticed any cats or dogs around.

And I'm curious as to why there are people who are not affected. And why can't the hive take them by force?

Am watching 👁👁

Oh!

Interesting. Fascinated about how Paraguay man is going to get to Carol. As it happens, right before this week's episode of Plur1bus, I watched Celebrity Race Across The World, and was reminded of the Darién Gap. He can't drive there, can he? Maybe as well as his ham radio skills, he can fly a plane?

Next week’s episode is called The Gap!

AHA!

Oooh, we were just wondering the same.

Enjoyed that episode

Loved the Casino Royale scene and the cameo from you know who. I'm really enjoying this series.

Was anyone else else pondering the moral implications of what the seemingly genial and kind Diabaté is up to?

Oh yes 100 percent, he seems very happy living that lifestyle though.

I’m rewatching this week’s episode with DH and DS. DS just said “ugh, Lamborghini Hurricanes! What an obvious choice.” He wasn’t impressed. He says a Ferrari 290 GTO or a Rolls Royce Wraith would have been classier choices.

I’m excited for next week’s episode.

Yes, I have pondered the same. The hive mind oblige requests without judgement, however outlandish or improper, and yet are so hardline about their dietary principles. Will there come a point when they apply tge same critical thinking to their unmelded human charges?

Who was he talking to about Carol being lonely? Them or another survivor?

I assumed another survivor.
