    1. they can. But when a show spend 8 ep about how stubborn a protagonist he his , to the point of be ready to die for his principle. Having him abandon all that in 5 min, is just bad writing. Of course he is still against the Hive.

    But his "personality" was not being against the Hive (that's Carol trait). His personality was shown to be a stubborn (flawed character= great) asshole (even with carol). And suddenly he become the Hive experimentation dude, talking with them. Why didnt he do it earlier? Yes.. because he was stupid!! (We knew from the beginning he was, by comparing to carol).

    The show make a root for a stupid asshole dude. Which now has lost his only redeeming quality (his no compromise stance to the point of dying) Like it make us root for an asshole Carol (flawed character= great) because she was against the hive. And when she flip, we realize we just rooted for an asshole with now lost her redeeming quality. BAD writing.

    But that not even the worst part of the show.. there are still some fun in those character. But the show is just boring: 1 event by episode, which is totally canceled at the beginning of the next one.

    I mean, I didnt like Stanger things either, but watching them side by side is painful... Stranger things had multiple stuff happening that actually impact the episode, and the serie. They were often dumb things , and over the top and super cringe with bad acting, but at least something happened.

  • I didnt register as tragic to me. (the same way the 2 ep of Carol playing golf and ending with caving in to the Hivemind was not tragic, nor growth)The no compromise stance made the character dumb (when we see Carol making progress without it) But as a viewer you still root for the character because he is so un-moving in his belief. When he abandon all of it in the span in 5 min, it is not tragic. You realize he was dumb all along, which make the viewer feeling bad for having rooted for such a dumb dude. Especially one that now is perceived has lacking principle.

  • "There is a black ichor in center of earth, made from the dying flesh from old beast. When using it you can reach ultimate power, but by using it you slowly doom the world"

  • I suppose. But what can you expect from pencilsloper

  • This is an insult, now what is your argument

  • he went from not addressing the HiveMind, to the point of dying, and finish by talking and demanding stuff to them out of the blue.

    Either, he was a man of principle, and should stand by them no matter what. When he reconsidered his principle super fast, then he make it clear he was very dumb at the beginning with his non compromise stance.

  • by watching RLM video about the show, I already knew the premise. Plus I like to start in the middle, when things are ramping up, instead of the beginning, where they have to put everything in place... If I like it I might watch the previous episode, for this one I didnt care.

  • The show is only good for the Empire plot. I mean.. rebellion poison-cloning Dawn and getting close to him to get him on their side, and then Day figuring it out, and ruthlessly squashing all of it! Totally new, and very well crafted, with great character. I suspect Day actor chop is holding the show on his shoulder. In last season, when they dude-fied him, I was thinking it was over.. and then he make it work somehow.

    The foundation side is indeed very bad character, and serviceable plot.

  • Pluribus.

    I binge watched it starting on Ep3, because Red Letter Media was gushing about it.

    It is not slow, it is boring. Nothing happen in an Episode, except one tiny event at the end so you can get excited for next episode.. but then nothing happen again. The main character is unlikable. She was funny in her "bitchy" ways, until she decided to not do anything anymore about the virus for a while.

    The Spanish dude was cool in his no-compromise approach, then do a 180 at the end for no reason.

    So they start with cool characters and undermine them by changing their motto operandi for no reason, except dragging the serie for 1 more episode.

    The only way the whole virus premice would make sense, is if it is an alien ploy to invade the earth. But then it will become a totally different show. I'm only still invested because i want to know the explanation for the virus. And if there is no explanation for such a weird virus, it is a waste of time

  • that's a small price that Europeans are willing to pay

  • the number of subject of a study. Usually Study with less number are less reliable, the effect could happen by chance. When you observe a result on a large number of people there is more chance the effect it real

  • what can you read on the white house image ?

  • rich old lady as provider

  • Good point: we are actually that child, coerced into letting those rich guys dumbness, greed and egomania destroy our world and everything on it

  • So they no more use probability to choose next word? I wonder how they do it now

  • she dont care she has a license in Piracy (Fencing, sailing ...)

  • the correct term is Stochastic Parrot... that is what LLM do. It sound even more cool that AI imho

  • The economy does include grocery money.. but when a news article/show speak about the "economy" it is rich people yacht money all the time

  • Now that you talk about it, I realize, I never ever seen anyone pushing for AI use. May be in some companies that might happen indeed, to get more productive employee
