We Was Watching: An Apple TV Pluribus Podcast

Nothing says “we’re not monsters” like shrink-wrapped human meat in a freezer. In Episode 6 of Pluribus (“HDP”), Carol uncovers the dark secret behind the Others' food supply — and let’s just say, she may never look at milk the same way again.Brandon & Chanel break down the jaw-dropping reveals:The Agri-Jet warehouse scene: Carol finds dismembered bodies, vats, grinders… and it gets worseWhat is HDP? Human. Derived. Protein. And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds likeThe John Cena appearance (!!) — the hivemind uses celebrities to explain everythingKoumba’s Vegas fantasy turns into a Bond parody gone rogue (bubble bath and all)Why the Others abandon Vegas the second Carol gets closeThe stem cell twist: how the Others plan to assimilate the immune — and why Carol vows to never consentCarol’s heartbreak over being excluded from the immune Zoom groupThat gut-punch ending: Manousos sees Carol’s video and finally hits the roadFrom drone deliveries to celebrity cameos to mass-produced “milk” that’s not really milk, Pluribus Episode 6 is a genre-bending cocktail of sci-fi horror, deadpan comedy, and existential dread. Rhea Seehorn delivers again, and Brandon & Chanel are here to make sense of every surreal, stomach-turning moment.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Pluribus #RheaSeehorn #JohnCena #VinceGilligan #AppleTV #HDP #SciFiTV #CarolSturka #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #DystopianThriller #KoumbaDiabate #DroneDropoff #MindControlPlot #ImmuneResistance

The season finale delivers answers darker and more bizarre than expected. Ron grapples with exposing a conspiracy versus protecting Barb's empire. Meanwhile, Jeff emerges as the villain, revealing he’s been recording quirky hold music. The shocking fate of Stacy Crystals, shot by a 3D-printed gun, adds to the absurdity. The mystery of a Jason-mask takes an unexpected turn, and Amanda's potential supernatural powers raise eyebrows. Finally, tension brews as Ron navigates a web of secrets and unsettling family ties.

The hivemind finally draws a boundary — and Carol crosses every one of them. In Pluribus Episode 5 (“Got Milk”), Carol’s actions finally catch up with her, and the Others ghost her… emotionally and literally. But the more space they give her, the deeper her paranoia — and her discoveries — go.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:The Others cut ties with Carol — and send her voicemail ghostings and drone deliveriesZosia is still in recovery… until Carol drugs her again (you read that right)Carol’s loneliness spirals into grief, anger, and a manic need for controlThe wolves are back — and this time, they go after Helen’s grave 😳What’s up with the milk? Carol’s dumpster dive reveals something strange inside those cartonsDog food factories, empty Agri-Jet facilities, and a final reveal that shocks Carol silentA reflection on whether the Others are harmless… or hiding something terrifying in plain sightCarol paints a headstone by hand — and paints herself further into a moral cornerAs Pluribus enters its second half, the show leans harder into post-apocalyptic horror, biotech conspiracy, and psychological breakdown — and Rhea Seehorn continues to carry it like a queen. Brandon & Chanel unpack the sci-fi, satire, and sorrow behind the show’s wildest hour yet.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe →    / @wewaswatching  #Pluribus #RheaSeehorn #GotMilk #AppleTV #SciFiTV #Zosia #MindControl #CarolSturka #WeWasWatching #VinceGilligan #TVRecap #DroneDelivery #MilkConspiracy #HivemindDramaWe Was Watching

This installment dives into a whirlwind of moral dilemmas and existential questions as Carol grapples with her humanity in a hive-controlled world. The hosts dissect her shocking use of sodium thiopental for truth-telling, leading to revealing and devastating consequences. Tensions rise when Carol’s reckless actions jeopardize Zosia’s safety, prompting debates about agency and autonomy. The ethical lines blur between heroism and selfishness, raising the unsettling question of whether Carol is a freedom fighter or just trying to save herself.

This episode is where the hivemind stops being theoretical and starts handing out live grenades. In Pluribus Episode 3 (“Close Only Counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades”), Carol tests the boundaries of her immunity — and the show’s premise — with a shopping list of weapons, sarcasm, and grief-fueled defiance.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:Carol’s grenade wish gets granted — and she nearly takes out ZosiaThe “wish fulfillment” rules of the hivemind start to crack (literally)Carol’s Norwegian ice hotel flashback: goofy setup, clunky payoffThat restocked Whole Foods sequence: instant oat milk, max satireThe nuke-baiting convo with a DHL guy that’s straight out of Dr. StrangeloveCarol’s suicide-by-grenade metaphor — and what it says about the rules of this worldThe logic gaps: why hasn’t the hivemind dismantled all WMDs? Who’s actually in charge?Is Helen being used for emotional blackmail from beyond the grave?Pluribus continues to be bold, messy, and full of potential — but Episode 3 may be its most narratively shaky yet. Still, Rhea Seehorn carries every frame, and Brandon & Chanel are here for the existential breakdowns, metaphysical red flags, and Apple TV's weirdest sci-fi swings.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Pluribus #RheaSeehorn #VinceGilligan #AppleTV #SciFiTV #Hivemind #WeaponWishList #CarolSturko #Zosia #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #GrenadeScene #HelenFlashback #IceHotelDramaWe Was Watching

Zoom In.,” Ron and Mike take a road trip into the sketch-comedy Twilight Zone, and it might be the best (and most chaotic) episode yet.
