Date: December 9th, 2025 12:11 PM Author: heady hominid parlour I'm on episode 4. I don't know how I feel about it atm. I can't tell if this is some kitschy Twilight Zone send-up or if Vince has Something to Say about humanity. But it is entertaining and well-directed.

you should actively avoid discussion about it if you want the peak experience |

Date: December 13th, 2025 1:20 PM Author: diverse lilac national security agency theater I"m not seeing any meaningful discussion of it on xo, no spoilers. If there were long weekly threads about the new episode as it was released, like during Better Call Saul, I would watch and participate, I loved those threads. But as that is not happening, I can safely save them up. |

Date: December 26th, 2025 10:09 AM Author: heady hominid parlour Seems pretty clear to me that the show is an allegory about AI. I know Vince has publicly stated he refuses to use it when writing. Everything about the hive mind in the show has a parallel in GPT/AI if you think about it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5808331&forum_id=2Reputation#49540532) |

Date: December 26th, 2025 10:12 AM Author: garnet water buffalo that's a correct reading but it could also be an allegory about the Internet or just GC in general (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5808331&forum_id=2Reputation#49540543) |

Date: December 26th, 2025 10:47 AM Author: heady hominid parlour I suppose, but the analogs are pretty explicitly AI - can’t physically harm anything, can’t lie, aims to please no matter how wrongheaded, feeds on people that have expired (this is the biggest tell imo) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5808331&forum_id=2Reputation#49540628) |

Date: September 18th, 2026 7:52 PM Author: cowgod Whole show feels like a scathing indictment against Near Easterners and Far Easterners, none of which care about freedom or free will and who don’t have souls. Talking about the other uninfected. Also the Woman Lead implicitly acknowledged Stalin as a worse mass murderer than Hitler. So it feels like they made this show as a nod to the Republican Caucus. Tim Cook was at the inauguration. None of the Infected are white males. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5808331&forum_id=2Reputation#50143214) |
