In the first message to Carol, Davis Taffler said the signal could have been repeating for all of human history for all they knew.

An implication here is that beings that far away are either constructed biologically the same way humans are, or somehow knew how life on earth is/would be constructed.   Or took a hell of a guess.

I don’t understand why the virus doesn’t affect pets? Somehow the aliens made it only effect human dna?

 

Except for the rat who started it all. 

And the wolves who seemed to have their behavior scripted.

Same way some animals are only carriers for viruses, or that some animal viruses can’t infect humans. 
 

and those rats could have been humanized as some lab rodents are in similar circumstances of lack of cross reactivity.

Watching her get Zosia to focus on using "I" and thinking and talking about herself and her individual interests made me theorize that this is how they could recover people. Appeal to that one person as an individual and somehow "awaken" them enough that they break through and somehow reject the virus alien thing.

Of course that might take a little while.

Her making the first move on Carol could be an indicator. That seemed off brand for the hive to initiate the action. 
 

Or….. is it a sign the Hive has become more aggressive in their pursuit of turning Carol?  Aggression is not a trait they have shown and seems at odds with their actions/mantra to date.

It might be that simple. But for as well thought out we know this show is I hope there is a better answer then that (and maybe plays into free will/what it means to be human).

How would I know it doesn’t affect pets? They said so in the last episode. 

Shit, missed that. I just wouldn’t think it would affect them because they aren’t intelligent.

So sounds like there will be at least 4 seasons and season 2 won’t be out until late 2027 at the earliest.   I’m already conditioning myself for disappointment tomorrow night, in terms of the show moving very far forward.

Based on the stills they released, it should be a pretty wild episode.

So 

Spoiler

They can't take her stem cells without her permission, but they can take them from her frozen eggs? These aliens are not logically consistent. Either way you're taking them without her permission.

Excellent ending that I did not see coming.

This show is great. And I can’t really even explain why. I got one of my neighbors to watch it and he thinks it’s boring. 

Agreed the wait for season two is going to suck.

Team Manousos.  Although it seems he'd be better off going to Monterrey Tech or somewhere if he wanted to learn electrical engineering.

Carol is so pussywhipped.  Such a disappointment.

I don't trust that she's really going to turn even now.

Anyway, really great finale and great season.  I didn't know how much I'd love Gilligan going back into scifi.

And further….

Spoiler

Why didn’t she just ask for them back? They will give her anything to keep her happy right, even a bomb?

Or she will just get super angry until they do….

They are the apples.  They have fallen from the tree, so are free to be taken and used

That opening scene was really good.  The others sent that entire village there to work on that girl and convince her to give in.  Then as soon as she does, they're all gone and she may never see them again.  I felt bad for that goat kid too.

The opening scene was heartbreaking from "will it hurt" to the goat. Damn. Perfect way to set the stage for Zosia's trying to woo Carol.

"Send me another" was so good.

Love the characters and concept but was extremely weak overall for a season 1. Feels like 2-3 episodes worth of plot/story and the rest was filler/indulgence. Like he got the green light but only had a short story to draw from. Can’t even use the character development excuse. There was none. 
 

Closest thing to 25 episode LOST season one that I can remember. Great story and characters etc but a struggle to fill the required episodes. 

Now we wait two years for season 2 lmao.

I was really hoping that Manousos was going to turn Rick. He said he learned a lot but the audience didn’t really learn anything except that Manousos thinks he can turn them by upsetting them and then playing that signal.
