The new TV series by Bravo Vince
Pluribus is already a great show. Everyone knows it and everyone agrees on it: To Plurb is To Be Alive. I'm not here to glaze the show, though. I'm here to analyze it and think about it really really hard.
This page is meant to be a sort of living record of what I know, what I think I know, and what I think will happen in Pluribus. Do not expect anything comprehensible. Do not expect theories that make sense. I'm so hopelessly autistic that I sometimes annoy myself. I merely feel a need to write down what I think and, I don't know, annoy people with it?
There is some amount of excitement about getting to watch this as it's coming out. I was much too young for Breaking Bad when it still aired, and sadly unaware of Better Call Saul until much later still, I never got to theorize about a Bravo Vince show before! Plurbing will save me. Plurbing—and yes, it does make me feel good!—will save me or kill of me. I have actually been plurbing it this whole time and you didn't even notice lollll get kinda pranked? Get kinda pranked and owned actually? lol I just plurbed all over the Okay that's enough.
Last updated . Spoilers for all of season 1 ahead.
Analyzing the Others
Considering the hivemind is, uh, the main driving force of the show, knowing about their objectives and how they actually function is imperative to both understanding and theorizing about the show.
First and foremost is the fact that, well, they're a hivemind. All the knowledge, memories, and experiences of those who were joined is shared between the rest of the hivemind. Individuals still have their "own" sensations, but all the information about those sensations are shared. They're able to communicate everything by using the human body's natural electromagnetic field, tuned to 8.613 MHz (is this number significant somehow?) This happens subconsciously and automatically, "like breathing." The actual physics of this is probably gonna have to go unexplained, what matters is they Work Like That, and you can listen in if you want to!
Second, they have some form of moral code, if you will. Cause no harm. Love everything, equally. Maximize efficiency. These statues are in their very nature—their programming, if you will.
