Saw F1 yesterday. Good, not great. Predictable.

The last episode of Pluribus (a slower Vince Gilligan show as usual) was painfully slow and truly a waste of an hour.

Seeing it in theaters really elevates it to appreciate the shots they used

**** whoever that guy is for feeling this is an opportune moment to sneak in some sort of dog whistle to spread further division in society.

I can see where that would make a difference. The race scenes were great. The plot was meh.

Just awful. Knifing someone requires you to get very close to them - makes sense it was a family member.

Can’t even begin to imagine what their last moments were like. This is horrific..and the trauma left behind for the rest of those siblings is unfathomable.

I said early on to my wife "They're going to do this the whole episode aren't they?" While I actually enjoyed it, it didn't move the plot along at all. I thought at least they'd end the episode with them meeting but didn't even get there! And I think only one episode left which is super annoying.

2 episodes left.

The BB episode "Fly" was one that was a waste. That was due to budget limitations according to Gilligan. They were forced to do an episode with just one set.

I enjoyed the ep quite a bit.

I did think it moved the story.

Spoiler:
I think it showed Carol relenting from her anti 'hive mind' stance and becoming more like the Koumba character by living it up more switching from her police car to a Rolls Royce, going to spas, 'stealing' art, etc and eventually wanting company.

I also think it set up just how far the Manuel character will go to be anti 'hive mind'. I don't know if him getting saved will change his mind, but I definitely think when they eventually meet, he'll feel betrayed, as his expectation of Carol and whole journey is due to them having the same thoughts on the hive mind initially.

Fair but both of those things could've been accomplished in 1/4 the time. I am all for slow burn episodes, and I don't think we need action and such at all times. But for whatever reason this one just didn't do it for me.
