Episode 11: Rewatch Revelations - 'We Is Us'

About this episode

The episode revisits the first episode of the series, analyzing its themes and theories with a new perspective after the season finale.

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. New episodes drop weekly during hiatus. Produced by Brainstormer Studios.
