    EPISODE 14: "Rewatch Revelations Four - Please, Carol"

    Welcome back to E Pluribus Unum, the podcast where we deep dive into the hive mind. Someone said please. Eight billion people, in fact. And the way they said it will haunt you differently the second time around.

    This is Rewatch Revelations Four, where we revisit Episode 4: "Please, Carol" with post-finale eyes. We finally meet Manos in the flesh, and his cold open is hiding more than you think -- from a fictional dog food brand with real border-crossing origins to storage unit numbers that keep our prime number theory alive.

    We break down: A Shakespeare reference that reframes Carol's entire relationship with her own writing, a conversion therapy backstory that explains everything about her resistance, and six things Carol said on camera that she will never admit sober. Plus: The insect theory expands in ways we didn't expect, the color vocabulary gets complicated, and we ask whether the joined are crying because they're sad -- or because they're performing.

    Larry might deserve an Emmy. Carol might deserve a hug. And the title earns every syllable of its weight.

    EPISODE 12: "Rewatch Revelations Two - Pirate Lady"

    Welcome back to E Pluribus Unum, the podcast where we deep dive into the hive mind. The second episode hits different when you know how Season One ends.

    This is Rewatch Revelations, where we revisit each episode with post-finale eyes. Episode 2 gave us our first real look at the joined working alone - and now we're seeing things Gilligan hid in plain sight from the very first frame.

    We break down: The longest cold open of the season and what it reveals about synchronicity, predator imagery hiding in wardrobe choices, and a lunch scene that transforms from charming to chilling on second viewing. Plus: Why the biggest question of Season One was never actually asked - and what that means for Season Two.

    That airport scene? We finally understand what we were looking at.

    EPISODE 11: "Rewatch Revelations One"

    Welcome back to E Pluribus Unum, the podcast where we deep dive into the hive mind. Season one is over. Now we go back to the beginning - and everything looks different.

    This is Rewatch Revelations, our new series where we revisit each episode with post-finale eyes. We're starting with Episode 1: "We Is Us" - and it turns out Vince Gilligan gave us the entire playbook in the first twenty minutes.

    We break down: The science whiteboard that explains all three infection vectors, why the colored lab coats were color theory from frame one, and a new immunity theory that changes everything. Plus: Eric connects Carol's inability to be externally happy to the OR ID 2 receptor - and it might explain why the joined can't let her go.

    Episode one wasn't a setup. It was a thesis.
