They're just compelled to

they get taken over and absorbed and assimilated.

Here, at least with the snake oil salesman, he's on board, right?

Because his life sucks and he wants to be assimilated.

So I don't know, it hits a little bit different for me here.

Yeah, it is funny, these similar themes and overlap and questions.

But on a week-to-week, moment-to-moment basis, it's hard to come up with two shows that are sort of different as a spectator experience.

You know, Fallout and Pluribus, as you said, slow burn where you're following one character the vast majority of the time, you know, maybe two tops in a typical episode.

And here you're jumping around constantly.

And in Pluribus, there's just so much time to breathe.

Yeah.

Whereas in Fallout, yeah, you're constantly in some other setting or some other timeline or there aren't flashbacks in Polar Bus 2.

But yeah, everything is a lot slower paced.

Whereas, you know, there's always something happening in Fallout and more action, quote unquote.

So very different sort of vibes, but touching on similar themes here.

And I like both shows, just different delivery mechanisms.

Yeah.

Okay, our last couple sections here, a little less substantial, so we can probably move through them a bit quicker.

But Maximus and Thaddeus, we were missing them in episode five.

We catch up with them again, wandering the wasteland here.
