• Pluribus Season 1 Episode 5 - Carol Needs a Discord

  The hivemind finally draws a boundary — and Carol crosses every one of them. In Pluribus Episode 5 (“Got Milk”), Carol’s actions finally catch up with her, and the Others ghost her… emotionally and literally. But the more space they give her, the deeper her paranoia — and her discoveries — go.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:The Others cut ties with Carol — and send her voicemail ghostings and drone deliveriesZosia is still in recovery… until Carol drugs her again (you read that right)Carol’s loneliness spirals into grief, anger, and a manic need for controlThe wolves are back — and this time, they go after Helen’s grave 😳What’s up with the milk? Carol’s dumpster dive reveals something strange inside those cartonsDog food factories, empty Agri-Jet facilities, and a final reveal that shocks Carol silentA reflection on whether the Others are harmless… or hiding something terrifying in plain sightCarol paints a headstone by hand — and paints herself further into a moral cornerAs Pluribus enters its second half, the show leans harder into post-apocalyptic horror, biotech conspiracy, and psychological breakdown — and Rhea Seehorn continues to carry it like a queen. Brandon & Chanel unpack the sci-fi, satire, and sorrow behind the show’s wildest hour yet.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe →    / @wewaswatching  #Pluribus #RheaSeehorn #GotMilk #AppleTV #SciFiTV #Zosia #MindControl #CarolSturka #WeWasWatching #VinceGilligan #TVRecap #DroneDelivery #MilkConspiracy #HivemindDramaWe Was Watching

• Pluribus Season 1 Episode 4 - The Truth Will Set You Free

  This episode goes from “grief spiral” to “science experiment” to “full-blown ethics crisis.” In Pluribus Episode 4 (“The Truth Is In Here”), Carol takes control — but at what cost? As she searches for a way to stay human in a world run by a hivemind, her tactics grow more reckless, manipulative, and possibly lethal.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:The intro of Manousos Oviedo: starving, proud, and armed with a radioCarol’s grenade wish vs. hive logistics: satire or sci-fi logic fail?That fake Whole Foods restock — symbolic excess or narrative stretch?Larry and the hive’s honesty test: the Shakespeare of romantasy?!What Helen really thought of Carol’s books (oof)Carol injecting herself with Sodium Thiopental to uncover her subconscious truth — and what that recording revealsThe betrayal of Zosia: drugged without consent, dragged from the hospital, and pushed into cardiac arrestThe horror of Carol handcuffing herself to Zosia, crying “agency” while denying someone else theirsWhy Carol’s actions blur the line between freedom fighter and selfish villainWith Rhea Seehorn delivering a devastating performance and the script poking at the ethics of autonomy, grief, and identity in the face of collective control, Episode 4 asks the most harrowing question yet: Does Carol actually want to save the world — or just preserve herself?🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Pluribus #AppleTV #RheaSeehorn #Zosia #SodiumThiopental #Hivemind #SciFiThriller #WeWasWatching #CarolSturka #VinceGilligan #TVRecap #Romantasy #TruthSerumScene

• Pluribus Season 1 Episode 3 - She's a Carol

  This episode is where the hivemind stops being theoretical and starts handing out live grenades. In Pluribus Episode 3 (“Close Only Counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades”), Carol tests the boundaries of her immunity — and the show’s premise — with a shopping list of weapons, sarcasm, and grief-fueled defiance.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:Carol’s grenade wish gets granted — and she nearly takes out ZosiaThe “wish fulfillment” rules of the hivemind start to crack (literally)Carol’s Norwegian ice hotel flashback: goofy setup, clunky payoffThat restocked Whole Foods sequence: instant oat milk, max satireThe nuke-baiting convo with a DHL guy that’s straight out of Dr. StrangeloveCarol’s suicide-by-grenade metaphor — and what it says about the rules of this worldThe logic gaps: why hasn’t the hivemind dismantled all WMDs? Who’s actually in charge?Is Helen being used for emotional blackmail from beyond the grave?Pluribus continues to be bold, messy, and full of potential — but Episode 3 may be its most narratively shaky yet. Still, Rhea Seehorn carries every frame, and Brandon & Chanel are here for the existential breakdowns, metaphysical red flags, and Apple TV's weirdest sci-fi swings.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Pluribus #RheaSeehorn #VinceGilligan #AppleTV #SciFiTV #Hivemind #WeaponWishList #CarolSturko #Zosia #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #GrenadeScene #HelenFlashback #IceHotelDramaWe Was Watching
