I wonder why the cell phones went offline immediately? Remember when the cspan message said landlines only. I know the hive doesn’t need cell phones anymore but they sure went away quickly.

I wonder if the hives thoughts get disrupted by 5g. That would be a funny twist. Also they are gonna need some plot idea’s going forward on how to deal with the happy little hive when it get a little more non human.

    Could be they decided it was inefficient the same way having all the lights on was inefficient. What I want to know after last episode is whether she might just kill everyone on earth except the other non-hive mind people. Seems like the hive mind would help her do it.

      She doesn’t need nukes to do that. She can literally dragonborn shout humanity to death.

        How does that work? Could the link they share be susceptible to her. Perhaps she is beaming things into the link they can no longer handle having been neutered mentally to be happy.

    Every zombie is inside their homes waiting for instructions. Also you don’t need a phone when you’re inside everyone’s brain all the time.

      Yeah I said the hive didn’t need it but they switched off the mobile networks immediately and told her on cspan landlines only. Of course they knew she had a landline. Their link needs some medium to propagate in. Of course it could be some scifi subspace that they are linked by but more likely it would be some spread spectrum electromagnetic type of link.

    I’m just glad the stupid truck caught on fire. Let’s see if she decides to keep driving its burnt out husk even though she’s surrounded by empty cars everywhere.

    Also, where are all the robot people staying if not in their own homes? Do they sleep?

      Maybe they are just staying away from her? What if she is adding interference to the link and when she gets upset its stronger? Its just speculation at this point but it seems like the mobile phone thing and them not staying in home near her could be linked.

      They’ll sleep wherever. They probably sleep in the nearest bed.

      I imagine they’ve set up sleeping hubs all over the place.
