    <season 1 ending talk>

    I just wanna know what she’s gonna do with the nuke. I’m guessing she’s gonna just wipe out an entire city of people to see if that traumatizes the entire planet and completely crashing the hivemind? That’s what it sounds like the plan might be.

      More season 1 spoilers and speculation

      I’m guessing, at least temporarily, it’s going to act as a sort of dead man’s switch. If the Hive tries to convert her she’ll set off the bomb killing both herself and Manousos, so they’ll keep their distance.

      I don’t think tramatizing them into a crash will work. I think you could threaten to blow up an bunch of people and that would keep them away. I think you could do it and they would be traumatized for a few minutes, but once it wore off I think they’d basically be fine. Unless the trama is active I think they’re mostly fine.

      I do however think the bomb could act like an EMP and that disruption will be important.

      Was it a regular show..

      …one might think “Chekhov’s gun” etc. but it could also just be “pizza on the roof” a la Breaking Bad.
      It’s not like they can do anything with it, although blowing up whatever place they’re working on the “vaccine” for her, that might be a good plan.

      I think he already said that the nuke storyline won’t go anywhere. But I could be misremembering.

    I hope they don’t send another woman into a psych ward for fear of a schizophrenic break due to an advertisement displayed on their smart fridge door screen.

    That would be unfortunate.
