I thought the 4th episode was the best so far. Which is good, because the 3rd was a complete waste of time that introduced no new information. The grenade thing wasn't needed because we already had ample evidence that the hive will do whatever the non-hive humans request.

The 4th episode was a huge step in the right direction though. Carol finally got around to asking some questions that she should have asked ages ago and consequently the plot seems to have actually taken a step forward. Rhea continues to be awesome, but I had no doubts about that aspect of the show.

I wonder how much money Vince Gilligan is directly responsible for dumping into the local Albuquerque economy . He probably could have had the entire city council be the ones fixing up Carol's house if he wanted to

The podcast talked a lot about the grenade. They did research and discuss a lot how a grenade explodes, but Vince admits they put a bit of “Hollywood” on it.

As for Zosia:

Spoiler!

You could tell just by his unpracticed and lackadaisical sweeping technique.

That man has never swept a driveway in his life!!

Interesting concept, but kinda still waiting for an actual plot. Will give it a bit longer to see where it goes...

Whats the deal with this show? Is it a limited series? Planned for 'X' number of seasons? Is there a plan or are they basically making it up as they go along season by season?

Gilligan says he's looking at 3-4 seasons. I have no idea where this show is going so I might bail and wait until we find out.

EP3 was huge, but just for the last minute. we learnt the hive mind was too naive to properly weigh consequentialist arguments into their actions, their completely egalitarian nature lets them sit back and watch a million terrible things happen so they are not the direct cause of 1 terrible thing, and that is their weakness.

I think the slow fuse is about to explode in a dark and scary direction.

So… what do think Carol saw on that shelf? Human eyes? Frozen brains? Every guess I take is gruesome…
