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?

That's such an interesting idea. I keep wondering how come these people are impervious to being taken over.

It’s an interesting theory but I think there’d be way more refusniks if it held up.

I want to know where all the murderous, venal human tendencies have gone. Is the hive mind the drippy alien consciousness overlaid on the human one, or is the implication there are more decent humans who drowned out the awful humans? I’m not buying this placid equanimity. I’m fairly sure cracks will begin to show soon.

I had to check back to see what the time period was for this episode as I missed the day count at the beginning.

12 days to 48 days

Also the aliens seem quite concerned about dehydration.

An incredible episode. I loved seeing Carol doing things she enjoyed, the Paraguay scenery, the ending. But for the love of God why won’t Carol ask for the answer machine message to be shortened!

Was the firework diverted by the hive?

The answer machine is annoying me as well, I kept thinking they might cut it down but they didn't!

How can people not find the answering machine message funny, especially as it’s Patrick (Howard) from Better Call Saul? It must be nice for her to hear any human voice at all, the isolation was so cruel.

WeJustWantYouToBeHappy · 14/12/2025 11:26

Maybe the internet has not been kind to our attention span as a species?

LushLemonTart · 14/12/2025 11:51

I didn't guess what she'd painted on the road, did anyone else guess?

Yes I find it funny.

Come back

They showed at the end

DuncinToffee · 14/12/2025 11:53

I find the message is both funny and cruel

boatyardblues · 14/12/2025 11:55

Me too.

LushLemonTart · 14/12/2025 12:15

Yes I saw. I mean I didn't guess what it said before they revealed it.

Ah, no I didn't guess it. I thought it would be more an angry message

Really loved this latest episode despite nothing much happening - really it was the nothing much happening that made it.

Carol finally breaking was really impactful.

I also screamed at the fall into the spiky tree!

Rousillon849 · 15/12/2025 13:37

Yes, @DuncinToffee, they are, you're right. They must be here for a reason, and I wonder if that's connected. And interesting theory, @LittlePotteryBird.

My husband guessed what Carol had written. Her loneliness emanated off the screen - so well acted. Not having to fight for survival and having absolutely zero to do only make it worse.

Has anyone watched this week's? I really wanted her to take the dog home as a pet!

Yes, and the same. Lovely dog!

MarxistMags · 19/12/2025 23:08

I don't know about that...
Twin Peaks anyone ? 😂

LushLemonTart · 19/12/2025 23:19

Yes watched it. Same about the dog.

Imagine shagging billions of people 🤣 I bet pirate lady was 'gifted ' in that department

Just watched the last episode! Anyone else? I really think it could run and run and go anywhere, but hopefully not too many seasons like handmaids tale
