I’m no biologist, but after some research I did, frozen eggs are probably not enough.

• Eggs can’t substitute for stem cells. They’re completely different cell types and don’t do the same job, so they’re not the kind of stem cells the Plurbs seem to be after.

• Frozen eggs contain only half of Carol’s DNA, so they can’t be used to clone her on their own. And no — the frozen eggs wouldn’t be contaminated with Carol’s full DNA (like blood or other bodily fluids). In fertility clinics, eggs are collected directly from the ovary in a clean, controlled process, and they’re prepared before freezing. So they don’t come with extra cells containing full DNA. (I still can’t believe they wash the eggs, though.) 😁

Ooohhh… that would be mean. But like Carol said, some lawyers survived 😄

Ooh damn I forgot about that line in the Norwegian ice hotel! Sneaky

I get the feeling the man from Paraguay will get her out of it, and season 2 will follow a Locutus of Borg recovery type of storyline.

Oh boy, I remember the comment about the eggs. And then the one about stem cells. I absolutely did not put the two together until this comment, and I both hate you and love you for it :)

And they’re still working on it.. it has been what, 2 weeks? And they maxed out their research already?

His storyline is good. So of course we only get five minutes of him per episode.

By their own logic, could they eat unfertilized chicken eggs if they “fall out of a chicken” on their own?

Maybe 0 is for her and the others have their own number.

That was very well done.

Also her comment after, when talking to Mr. Diabate.

I wonder if the virus was created as a way of creating the "perfect" robot. Their job seems to be to serve those that are not a part of the hive.

The twist then being that this version of the virus, in an attempt to make them more subservient, can't take care of themselves.

What's the goal of any virus? That's the thing. It's behaviour is viral. It is just to spread.

Great way to get Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

It certainly is driving me crazy that Carol isn't asking for them to shorten their voice mail message when she's clearly annoyed by it.

It might be necessary to keep those scenes to tell us something about Carol’s character or about the Plurbs themselves (they might have thought about shortening the message but didn’t, and Carol might have asked them to shorten it but didn’t either). Or they included the voicemail scenes simply to mischievously annoy the viewer.

Honestly, I’m fine with either. I was annoyed the second and third time she listened to the voicemail, but now I kinda like it. It’s funny that they keep including these scenes.

As an ADHD person that watched (until I found it too boring) a lot of The Walking Dead in 2x speed, I kind of see what you mean, but...never in this show I felt the need to skip anything (only when I rewatched episode 2 to convince my wife to stick with the show after she noped-out at the end of the pilot, I had to skip the seizure scenes to keep her attention long enough to make her interested in the mysteries they introduced. I'm not proud of the manipulation. But she's a Plurb too now, so, eh, ends, means, you know)

Whenever something drags for too long, I look around. The sets have a level of detail and care that few other shows enjoy.

The only thing annoying me is that I would have a list of question as long as my leg, and she's not asking the right questions. That ain't solved by fast forwarding, though.

I found myself almost yelling at the screen trying to get her to press pound to skip the voicemail greeting.

Well, I was close. Carol and Manousis didn’t meet until the last episode, but at least it wasn’t at the end of the episode.
