Pluribus episode 1: All the messages on the TV that you may have missed

The collapse of humanity is a lot to take in even in TV form, so we can only imagine how poor Carol (Rhea Seehorn) feels when it’s happening all around her in Pluribus.

In episode 1 of Vince Gilligan’s new Apple TV+ show, after finally making it back to her house, Carol watches C-SPAN on television. There’s a man standing behind a podium in a suit, not moving or saying anything, as a number appears onscreen for Carol to call.

While the man on the TV — a politician called Davis Taffler — explains to Carol that the vast majority of humanity has either died or been linked together as one by a virus, a stream of news tickers appear at the bottom of the screen.

In case you missed them, we’ve rounded them all up below:

“Carol, when you’re ready you can reach us at this number. No pressure. We know you’ve got questions.”

“You are safe.”

“Your life is your own.”

“Landlines only.”

“Just dial zero, 24/7.”

“We can’t read minds.”

“We’re not aliens.”

“Signal from space.”

“Davis Taffler, U.S.D.A”

“We’re one.”

“Your life is your own.”

The show’s repetition of that last line — “Your life is your own” — feels a bit ominous, particularly given that a) the people united by the virus are trying to discover why Carol is immune, and b) the virus seems to like nothing better than spreading itself.

Pluribus premieres Nov. 7 on Apple TV, with a new episode every Friday.
