Enjoyed @scotttobias.bsky.social's recap, which has the perfect title and a compelling reading of the cold open (one of Gilligan's all-time best, imo, which is saying a lot)
Pluribus Season-Finale Recap: The Last Temptation of Carol
An impeccably wrought finale finds Carol allowing herself to consider the bliss of surrender versus making a hard sacrifice for mankind.

The season finale of Pluribus bodes very well for the show's future, with its focus less on the mystery and more on how it feels to live through it, its warning about the perils of love, and its reminders that we're still watching a horror story.

Everyone has their own holiday viewing traditions. Mine is Catch Me If You Can, one of the best movies ever about loneliness — on Christmas and the other 364 days of the year.
Merry Christmas, Carl.

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.
