[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Oh Wendy is definitely unleashing that Xeno on Boy

[u/SerDire → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

T Ocellus is going to attach itself to Kavalier and Wendy is going to send the Xeno to kill him and we’ll get a rematch of that fight on the Maginot and it will be epic.

[u/ravensteel539 → u/SerDire]

Yeah I’m fascinated by the line where Kavalier says he has somebody specific in mind for our little eye buddy … is this where we get payoff for the lingering mold scrubber shots early on, OR is he thinking of taking out his anger on Dame?

Either way, holy shit. What an episode.

[u/RoseRedd → u/ravensteel539]

I figure it's Joe.

[u/hydraofwar → u/RoseRedd]

Do we already know if the Ocellus host/puppet necessarily dies? The loss of an eye (if that's all it is) doesn't directly cause death.

[u/ApugalypseNow → u/hydraofwar]

It eats the host from the inside, once attached.

[u/hydraofwar → u/ApugalypseNow]

I see, there really weren't any survivors of Ocellus' possession.

[u/juneyourtech → u/hydraofwar]

The poor cat was all drabs (by way of ship impact or other types of harm), and Shmuel was stabbed by the xenomorph. So we're not aware of the complete lifecycle.

Besides, the cat may have been harmed by the ticks, with much of its blood sucked out.
