He definitely couldn’t take the cactus boat.
Carol was still wearing her painting clothes when Zosia arrived.
The difference between his stubborn independence and her asking them to cater her every whim was hilarious.
And her chastising them for the Gatorade not being cold enough.
Yeh, despite their common goals and feelings about what’s happened, I’m wondering how he’ll react to her willingness to use the spoils of humanity and indulge in having the Plurbs cater to her.
Perhaps slightly more understanding now that they had to save him. The whole painting on the ground thing instead of calling seems a bit overly dramatic.
And actually, until he got to the Darien Gap, the drive north seemed quite pleasant.
Perhaps. But also, I can see her not wanting to grovel verbally over the phone for them to come back. So she made a sincere gesture by doing what she did. She knew she was on the edge, she almost killed herself, and just couldn’t deal anymore.
I think the episode covered about five weeks, during which she had no human interaction, so I think that may have been bothering her by the end. She seemed to be having fun, playing golf and such but I think she was clearly lonely.
I liked his speech. That everything they have is “stolen” yet he’s not out to kill them. And he’s too cool and collected to get angry which he might have, if the last people he spoke to had tried to stop him. I’ll guess Manuosos might be angry whether the chopper rescue just patches him up (he certainly needs intravenous water) and leaves him supplies, though I think story-wise the writers have shown the kind of guy Manuosos is and he won’t be too angry when he (WAG) wakes up in Carol’s presence.
Carol had enough trust in Zosia to take the plane ride to Spain, and I reckon she only drank their water when she saw others do so. If Manu was using solar batteries or generators for power in Paraguay, he’ll need “their” gasoline, power. I doubt Best Buy will have HAM gear, yet it’s still a popular enough thing that some shops will provide it.
Save the world with HAM? Certainly part of the approach. If this pulse is meant to keep DNA and RNA in order for the hive to keep existing, else it falls apart, there’s one thing.
They’re being watched, and likely cannot count on the privacy they once had on the plane. So a lot of subterfuge and distraction will be needed, including the Plurbs providing what they’d consider harmless rock hammers (“Shawshank Redemption”) and just to the nature of the show avoiding science, the solution will have to be relatively clever and simple.
Was he “waving to the sky” or just shielding his eyes from the sun?
It definitely looked like a feeble wave.
It could be longer for Carol. Manuosos might arrive the day after Carol finally surrendered to her loneliness. That would also explain why Zosia is “showing” so soon if, indeed, she is actually with child.
The first onscreen time display said 12 days, and the later one said 48 days (I think). That’s where I got the idea that five weeks had passed.
12 days was Carol time. 48 days was Manuosos time. The scenes aren’t always chronological.
They only go back and forth like that for flashbacks, not between individual character scenes. If they did want to think it was still 2 weeks in for Carol they would’ve showed us the clock again when we got back to her scene. I’m pretty sure Carol was meant to have spent a month alone going crazy from the social isolation.
Pretty sure we did not get the 48 days until after Manousos went down and it switched back to Carol.
When we come back to Carol after Manousos, the timer says it’s now day 48 for Carol. When she was headed back home from Vegas in the beginning, it was day 12.
So yeh, it’s been well over a month she’s been all alone.
Thanks for the correction. So it doesn’t look like we got any time stamps for Manuosos’ journey this episode and we don’t know how much time actually lapsed between Carol’s last time stamp and Zosia’s arrival. I don’t think this week’s time stamps tell us anything useful in syncing up the two stories or determining how long it has been since Carol last saw Zosia.
This episode started around 12+ days. Carol had just returned from Vegas (where at least she found out her messages had been delivered and we saw Manuosos had gotten his in VHS - though I thought some were SD card, so maybe both. Dunno.) Manu had been on the road for some days. I thought he was leaving behind ₲1,000 Paraguayan bills (guarani) or ₲10,000 (about $1.50), yet worthless now, but an honest gesture for a can of gas.
Except for the ice cave flashback, time has always gone forward, so there was about a month of Manu traveling and Carol going batshit crazy. BTW, esp. if she’s going to be echoing wolf calls, I’d suggest a sidearm to carry around. Wolves/Coyotes generally won’t approach humans, yet if they’re hungry, all bets are off all day long. What it says about the low shot of the rabbit (other than ‘aww!’) (and buffalo!) or foxes and other predators is probably only that it is approaching whatever ecosystem Albuquerque and the world will become.
Some of the Plurbs (I want to say scientists, yet they all are!) ought to be putting in efforts to modify vegetables to drop/detach their fruit while it’s still ripe. Obviously, they’ll eat/drink whatever suits their rules, yet I imagine it’s more out of need to drink that carton stuff. It may look like apple juice, yet so does gasoline. So root veggies: carrots, onions, potatoes, mushrooms and even cucumbers are not on the menu. And I’ll pass on tomato sauce from fallen tomatoes, and anything made from fallen apples best have a lot of sugar, which must be in short supply. I’ve no idea if corn is still edible when it drops. If you cannot pick fruit, you don’t have a lot of options. Nuts!
