I don't think I agree with your take.. I don't think they made the hivemind cartoonishly evil at all. I get that cannibalism is inherently evil and one of the universal taboos, but it's not like they are eating people alive or farming them, and given that the hivemind isn't necessarily human it doesn't feel evil. I also don't think it's expected for you or anyone in the show to be siding with Carol, in fact to me it feels like quite the opposite. She's very unlikable, every action she takes is actively harming the lives of the people she says she cares about. I'd be floored if the end of this show ends with her being a hero, and it would completely ruin the show for me. However, given how this last episode went it doesn't feel like it's moving in that direction at all.I do agree that I don't see much room for Carol to have any semblance of self-reflection in the coming episodes though, I think she'll die in vain, kill herself, or give up and allow them to assimilate her.
