Pluribus is disappointing (Season 1 spoilers) (hexbear.net)

The season's ending was pretty disappointing (https://hexbear.net/comment/6743863)

I wonder if Manousos figures out that he can disable the plurb through outbursts and just keeps doing that to one plurb'd node and Carol would have to stop him. If this plot ends up happening I'd be disappointed because I just came up with it in 30 seconds.

Bravo Vince collecting the apple check to do whatever he wants with a sci-fi show that can basically magic any scenario he wants out of thin air and be patted on the back for it.

Also Carol is also just like Diabaté (French speaking dude with the air force one) and only stops when she realizes that she can't treat the plurb as her own sexual fantasy and slaves.

Manousos is goated only because he envisions a world where the virus is cured. Diabaté is also great because he shares little to nothing about himself and gets to learn a ton from the plurb without them suspecting him (and is actually trying to find a solution to the windfall thing).

Carol shooting at manousos with a shotgun got me heated, white people will always ruin the day.

In any case, I don't know what angle the show is going for. I guess people called it when it became a christian "lets save the world" type story by someone who only sees the world through ideology.

What if the organism that originally came up with the virus uses some kind of photosynthesis and comes from an ecosystem with no analogue to sentient animals that eat non-sentient plants? If this organism didn't have a concept of pain, its ethics might revolve around the extinguishing of life itself (regardless of any consciousness attached to it) so that would explain why they'd have such a rule.

Imagine you designed the virus and you had to give it rules about how it could interact with the lifeforms present in whatever planet it reaches. Would you allow it to inflict pain? Because, on planet earth, thanks to plants and fungi it's possible to sustain yourself without inflicting pain on anything else. But what if the planet that gets infected isn't like that?
