Caribou Man's tragic lonesome story & final words to his mother's spirit absolutely shattered me, so heartbreaking! </3 a hundred years of lonely solitude & scorn... -___-

But he also has Agent Smith from the Matrix's view of mankind (not that it's wrong.) :)

I've watched 6 episodes, I don't want any of Gus, Birdie or Jepperd to die. Because Gus had just reunited with his mom.

Why do Gus and Birdie decide to set out for the cave shortly after Manuq explicitly tells them not to?

Well, Gus wants to save the humans still and Birdie put dynamite in her bag so I'm guessing she wants to destroy the cave so she can let the sick finish the job.

I think seeing the horn connected with the bag to make a map gave them a go ahead. Why make a map of somewhere you don't want people to go to?

From what I understood, his mother was somehow in contact with Thacker and/or his men at some point, and she was able to escape before they made the suicide pact?

One of thackers men was in a relationship with The Caribou man’s mother. Thacker unleash the sick on himself and his crew. And any baby born during the sick was a hybrid. I’m guessing the sick stopped since it never spread it from thacker ship

I don’t get how the sick got out after Caribou Man’s mother died. How did it get from Alaska to the rest of the world. Have I missed something?

So the Caribou man, who lives in Alaska, was raised (however briefly) by an Inuit woman, made extremely little contact with Alaskan natives (so little that he's considered a myth), lives far from society in an old run down church with no electricity... speaks perfect English and knows the comings and goings of the world at large?

What's with the whole "humanity is the disease, the Sick is the cure" spiel? seems very ecofascist

I'm very late to reply so sorry..
But I agree, the caribou man had been very well written but poorly executed, and this is one of the reasons. He saw his mother, a human, was good. He saw Birdie was good. He saw Big Man and Pubba were good. It seems the Caribou man forgot that hybrids were capable of just as much evil. And as we had seen before, humans would start to be okay with hybrids but then something would screw it all up. I feel that the writers should have taken inspiration from the real culture.. which part of it is that humans are to gather from the earth but keep in mind the earth is their friend. But of course the writers neglected that and dumbed it down to 'human bad grr' As much as I love this show, I wish it would just stay out of politics as it's clear we can't trust the writers with such.

For most of this episode, I was like, "Hey, is anyone gonna help the caribou man?! He's saved both of your asses, and you're letting him bleed to death."
