the saddest thing about pluribus is actually that there’s no way carol wasn’t a huge x-files fan in the 90s but vince gilligan would never make it canon because it would be too gauche and self-referential

i think there’s a lot of people who frame the hivemind as like, forcing carol into a relationship because the fact she very canonically felt sexual and (delusional) romantic feelings for another woman so shortly after the death of her wife makes them uncomfortable. like we hear her call zosia “fuckable” unprompted, which sort of undercuts the idea that the hive forced her to do All of That. she is lonely but she is also just a hopeless romantic unfortunately. like even charm offensive is a romantic episode even if it is also sinister and strange. carol isn’t just like a hapless victim, she’s both charmed and still committed to her investigative work. carol’s character does not begin and end with her grief, there’s more to her than that. the interpretation of the show which renders her a powerless victim is both off base in terms of canon and just sad to think about. she’s got a little whimsy too

i think people ignore the very deliberate parallel between the waitress carol had a crush on and zosia for this reason too, in the sense i think we know so little about carol’s life it’s easy to assume it was always just helen. i appreciate that miriam shor and rhea seehorn’s interpretation (which isn’t like canon but really interesting to think about) of the timeline of carol and helen’s courtship goes hand in hand with carol having a period of her life post-college where she was on her own and had a familiar haunt where she had a thing for the cute waitress. i love you 90s lesbian carol. and to present day carol whatever you do don’t confront the fact that the hive also flung zosia from thousands of miles away for your pleasure and comfort

trying to make a begging for boiling water off the stove post about pluribus without my beautiful mutuals thinking it is about them… i actually generally really enjoy the discussion of the show on this website vs…. other websites. i just needed a venue for my begging for boiling water off the stove joke ok

[legislacerator]

look i get it because we all want to see helen again sometime in the next few seasons but asking for flashbacks in a vince gilligan show is. well

[toomanyvocals]

should we tell you how much she loved you?
