@fiore @autumn @annamaria me personally I’m not sure. it very much could be a thing, but the question is how Bravo is gonna do it.

in BrBa color represents different aspects and alignments of different people (like, green is money, brown is Being Normal, pink is innocence, red is like blood and kill people, yellow is the drug business etc). representing how people feel and stuff.

in BCS, warm colors represent the criminal world and cold colors represent the legal world, with in-betweens of course representing both—I know at some point jimmy wears a red and blue striped suit, cause he’s a criminal lawyer. much simpler

but in Plurb neither of these would really work, you can’t really use colors to reflect the character of anyone since, well, there’s Carol and a hivemind which doesn’t feel anything but bliss, it wouldn’t really work! and the BCS method wouldn’t work either since that’s used to reflect which “side” you’re on, and it is quite obvious which side of the hivemind someone’s on lmao.

With how miserable Carol is, I can see color being used more to reflect, like, her inner emotional state and stuff. or outlook on the world. I don’t recall all of her outfits but it’s been a lot of gray so far, right? something about this highlighting how bleak everything is for her, meanwhile the hivemind wear nice and bright colors because they are So Happy and everything is great ! and of course the french guy who dresses like Saul Goodman thinks this is fucking awesome.

it remains to be seen! I’m sure Bravo Vince will reveal if and how he’s using color as a storytelling device—he’s known for it after all. I might rewatch some scenes later and see what I can see, I was meaning to give ep 4 another look, anyways, so

may be overly harsh to poor Grok here but I don't really car and I won't be able to outdo Calling Him Grok anyways so

it's almost amazing how they managed to make him look like that, I mean it's gotta be on purpose right??? just this absolute fucking dork who's probably never talked to anyone until now. he looks like he'd get fired and go Aw shucks...

I think the best joke to come out of watching this episode was when Carol asks about what people think about her books and … I don’t remember who nor am I good with names (Mike help me out here) but someone said “Elon Musk talking to Grok” which is brilliant and true on it’s own but it made me think he looked like grok which is maybe even funnier. ardent everything app lovers may see grok as this genius dude in the computer or (even worse) a live2d model who has steamy esex with you, but we all know he looks like Larry from Bravo Plurb s01e04

I will say though it's a really good episode, cause there's so much lore and shit being dropped

like, in the cold open, the fact that there's someone actively resisting even contacting the hivemind to the point of eating dog food (and visibly trying not to puke) is pretty big. Carol is a hating ass bitch but this guy seems a little nutty, and he now understands that there are others like him, exciting to see how that unfolds

but more importantly, background information for Carol. you're telling me she used to do *heroin?* really??? and then there's, well let's just say her mother was "unsupportive" . and the fact that Helen didn't really think her writing was particularly good but still knew that people would like it and stuff, not really caring as long as she was happy, REALLY adds depth to their relationship—or, well, what it used to be. I'm sure we'll get more flashbacks with them though, but going forward it'll be... worth keeping in mind.

and of course MOST importantly the sexual tension between Carol and Zosia is getting addressed. I mean come on, they are GOING to fuck. in breaking bad there were quite a few sex scenes, I don't recall any in BCS right now but Kim and Jimmy were getting it ON, so.

Bravo Vince, if you give us lesbian sex my life is yours.

the whole sodium thiopental thing is interesting though, I read that it's a general anaesthetic and also just now that it's a truth serum. I'm not sure if that's quite how it works, but it would absolutely have kicked in way way faster than it did for both of them. with how much she gave Sozia I wouldn't be too surprised if she actually dies, cause apparently it is also used as lethal injection. so. unsure about the cardiac arrest too. from what I can tell it'll just put you to sleep, maybe she was on other things as well. I think it would be really really funny if, like, the hivemind just manually stops her heart to prevent the secret cure from being revealed

if it's somehow able to free Sozia from the hivemind though, that would be kinda sick. might only be temporary though #Interesting but with her having such a central role I don't think she'll die

look idk, I'm just saying shit and procrastinating sleeping. I don't fucking know. those are my thoughts kn the episode bye
