Summary

We is Us. Writer Vince Gilligan wrote several dozen episodes of The X-Files and several of its spin-offs and then vanished for 25 years, producing no other works. Now he's back doing the only thing he's ever done: creating excellent speculative fiction. Red & Ivan join the hive mind and think about Apple TV's Pluribus.
