Pluribus Recap: Leaving Albuquerque

Pluribus HDP Season 1 Episode 6 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** Carol sets out to share her revelation about the Others, only to realize it might not matter. Photo: Apple TV While doing a press conference at the Marrakech Film Festival last week, where he was serving as a juror, the great Korean director Bong Joon Ho (Parasite) was asked about AI and gave a colorful two-pronged response: “My official answer is, AI is good because it’s the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I’m going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI.” The first part of Bong’s answer applies well to Pluribus, which isn’t specifically a show about AI, but which does ask viewers to think about the value of humanity in the face of a more uniform, homogenizing threat.

Key Highlights

  • And there’s one small moment in this otherwise incident-packed episode that brings the theme home.
  • It’s morning at the “Elvis Suite” on the 30th floor of the Westgate hotel in Las Vegas, where Koumba Diabaté has continued living out the extended fantasy life that the Others have provided him.
  • But Koumba, for all his lusty indulgences, has shown a more generous and forgiving spirit than the other immune humans when it comes to Carol, who are less persuaded by her “dramatic” appeals to rebellion.
  • When Carol emerges from her sleep, Koumba offers her a simple breakfast of eggs, bacon, avocado, and toast — an analog breakfast, not a scrupulous re-creation of something she might have eaten at a luxury New England B&B years before.
  • Then Carol piles everything on her plate into a rough slice of avocado toast, mashing them together in an improvised layer.
