Like I get that she's a selfish person who immediately lost interest in saving the world now that she wasn't in danger but I agree with you, it's absolutely crazy that the show is trying to convince us she ate the blue pill so hard that she gets mad at the one person in the entire world that wants to save it. Why is she so dismissive and rude to him? Isn't this literally what she was preaching? All of this because she had sex? Lol.

And why didn’t she forbid them from developing the personalized virus? Or take the eggs back?

I guess it's implied that they can't honor requests to not turn her, but this indeed still a big plot hole. Why can't she just fly over to where they're doing the testing and steal the eggs back? They can't do anything to stop her. I don't understand how owning an atom bomb and saving the world is somehow easier than arguing with the hive to stop doing research.

I'm probably not going to be back for season 2 whenever that releases. Happy for the people in the community that are having fun but this felt like a big waste of time.

It's probably insurance for when they do process the virus to infect her. Basically saying that get too close and I'll detonate it.

They infected the world via aerosol dispersal and it took minutes. I don’t think Carol could detonate fast enough if they really wanted to get her and Manusos.
