SPOILER:
My theory is that the alien is an allegory for artificial intelligence. 🤷
I kinda got that as well once Carol
Tap for spoiler
was able to have that grocery store to herself and took that painting. Haven’t seen the last episode, but will be interesting once her visitor arrives.
Some people are also comfortable with the fact that their own family are now ~~AI~~ part of the hive mind, but still treat them as living relatives.
Also I also thought it was interesting that the hive mind can’t create its own food, but feeds off of the attention and creativity of normal people because they appear unable to create anything new. Case in point Zosia being very excited to think that Carol was in the midst of writing a new novel—an act that she apparently can’t do despite having a global collective’s artistic capacity and experience at their disposal.
Definitely lots of ways to interpret the show!
I share that opinion. There's that, and then some kind of additional emergent mind providing impetus. The thing we've not really gotten much into is something like "minus having people to convert, what motivates "you"?
