But that’s what Pluribus lead Rhea Seehorn accidentally just did at a recent panel event with the cast, writers and producers of the show at a Q and A event in LA.I’m not sure what the initial question was, but the transcript is (spoilers follow!):Rhea (Carol): "–[The Hive go from] not being able to tell that I'm being sarcastic about a grenade, to making a joke about an orgy with Carol– and, and she sees where they all sleep."Karolina (Zosia): That comes later.Rhea: Oh, shit!Karolina: They haven't seen it!There are only two episodes left in season 1 of Pluribus, one this Friday, December 19, and the final the day after Christmas on December 26. Episode 7 is called “Charm Offensive,” and while we don’t know anything about it, it stands to reason it’s about Carol trying to be nice now that the Hive will talk to her again. I would imagine this could involve something like a tour of where and how they sleep, presumably all condensed into specific places.MORE FOR YOUPluribus does a good job of thinking up questions that people would ask about this situation and answering them, such as, what do they eat (ground up dead people, sometimes), and now, where do they sleep? I suppose it makes sense that they all wouldn’t go home to individual houses and beds every night, as I mean, why bother, if you’re all one person?Rhea makes a joke about an orgy, but I can’t see that as something the Hive would actually do with each other outside of say, being asked to. I do have questions, however, like what happens if say, just one body of the Hive falls in love (you can probably guess who I’m talking about), or on the darker side, what happens if a member of the Hive is purposefully murdered? They go nuts and lose their collective mind when someone is even just angry. What happens when that is taken to its logical extreme? I feel like we’ll have to get an answer to that at some point, though perhaps not this season.As for this spoiler, I don’t know, the video is funny enough where I don’t actually care that much, and I’m just looking forward to seeing how that plays out in what I assume is this Friday’s episode. Do they hang upside down like bats?
