Manousos is also such a badass, that he would rather die, than make a compromise and do something that really matters.
Probably the "biological imperative" would be stronger in this case, and they would refuse her request. Nonetheless I think such scene would be good addition, because it would shed more light on how the Others thought process, and Carol wouldn't look stupid.
It would be cool if real Zosia felt disgust at Carol, maybe for having sex with her body, or she would just detest her behaviour. Basically I would like real Zosia to have personality opposite to the "Zosia" persona created for Carol.
I accepted it for what it is. It's a really well made enjoyable watch, but i'm not as hyped for the finale as I was for Severance S1.
Maybe Hive has some flexibility with their "no killing" rule. After all they drive cars and trains, and these definitely kill multiple bugs.
Carol wants "Zosia" to behave more like Zosia would, but it's just a facade, escape from the truth, that there is only Pluribus now.
I agree, hive can manipulate people by omiting truth, but it wasn't a case this time.
Ok, creators of this show really like to torture us: THE SAME PLURBIN VOICEMAIL THREE TIMES IN A ROW!
I don't find obvious product placement to be an issue there, it adds realism. It's the same case as in Like a Dragon video game series.
Manousos has amazing mental fortitude, but he's still just a human and not truly independent. Maybe his rescue will make him change his mind a bit. He may sway Carol to return to her rebellious streak, as she has currently given up.
Such baby would be groomed to join the Hive in future. If everything goes right few years later they would happily get plurbed.
Maybe they will procreate once majority of old host bodies die. There are many young people outside America and Europe.
Hive is quite manipulative, They didn't say a word about Carol's frozen eggs. Carol is gonna get plurbed.
I hope Carol will do collab with the greatest vlogger of all time, Lalo Salamanca.
It was quite a leap to go from powder bag to dog food factory.
Maybe next episode will have more reveals, so if Carol saw dead bodies it will be the smallest of surprises awaiting us.
