She was a shithead before she was grieving as we see in all the flashbacks and episode 1.
I liked the show so far but carol is a turd. I want to see more manousos though. He seems like a badass.
Really? I don't feel like there's much difference in attitude and personality between Carol and Manousos thus far
Badass, for sure, but I get the distinct impression that he's NOT a terribly good dude, either.
I could be proven wrong, since we still know so little about him, but he seems to have NO personal reason to hate the joined, like Carol does, and yet he is SO much more extreme about all this than she is. From refusing food to refusing medical care to burning his car to the extreme physical peril he puts himself through, none of his actions with regard to the joined seem like those of a reasonable person. It makes me think he's more than just highly motivated, he's got a few screws loose, and eventually we're gonna see this expressed in ways other than just resisting the joined.
Looking forward to either option.
Manousos is also such a badass, that he would rather die, than make a compromise and do something that really matters.
His encounter with Carol seems to have clued him in to the idea that "wait, maybe there IS some value in interacting with them, in order to learn about them" so he's not completely dogmatic. And yo ve fair, Carol definitely treated them the same, at first.
