didn't ganu come to NY to promote slusho?

it's late, so i'm not sure of dates right now. maybe ganu had one? i dunno.

the whole "primary evidence" thing is weird. either it was SBN, or the pod, or the pod IN some SBN... we already determined that the pod is itty-bitty. like, fingernail-sized small.

i wish that we knew what the hell the pods are. eggs? something else? bah.

it just seems so strange to introduce something like that, give it a very vague name, and then just leave it at that.

and i'm still not so sure that the pod itself killed the monster. something that exists at the bottom of the deepest parts of the ocean shouldn't be able to surface and walk around on land. the evolution of organisms at the bottom of the sea are designed to exists in those extreme pressures. take that pressure away and they go "pop".

we gotta wait on the translation, but i'm with the camp the believes that clover's eye-injury caused him to retreat. and that he was depressurizing.

but that is an interesting thought. it was only concerned with retrieving the pod, and returning it to the weird mass of sacs on the seabed...

too much to speculate Shocked

Damn it, this always happens to me. Im on here all the time and nothing happens, but i leave for a few days , and all hell breaks loose. But i do agree, these theories do seem to carry alot of salt. I especially like the whole Jamie waking up in a dazed state and that affecting MGP. On the other hand, if it was Hud that somehow had it, that would explain alot too. Thats the one thing thats been bothering me ever since i saw the film the first time. Why the parasites attacked the others, but tried to take him. The mystery deepens my friends. Gotta love that JJ, and Drew, and Reeves........i could go on forever , but ill stop

Guys, Jamie already caused so many people's heads to freakin explode, just by listening to her blather on about all the crazy bullshit that she had goin on in her head, in those god damn videos. Can we put the possibility that she actually had a larger role in this than that to freakin bed please? Even the thought of that crazy bitch controlling MGP is makin me freakin nauseaus.

I agree with K1Ng5p4d3. Perhaps Jamie's purpose was to introduce Teddy Hanssen's character and provide hints as to what happened to him (i.e. the message he delivers to her which introduces more characters like Randy). It could be that we're reading into her character a little too much. To me, she's like a stepping stone for bigger things like Teddy, the Chuai incident, seabed nectar, etc...

She's just a regular person caught in the middle of a big mess and her videos show us (or atleast direct us to) the big mess. Just my two cents!

agreed! i do not think that she is a major character in the plot. like you were saying, it's just a bridge between the gaps of the movie's characters, and the more sinister things going on.

a) It would explain why the NY monster seemed so disorientated, Jamie being all drunk and stuff... Maybe Jamie shared the contents of the package with Hud? Maybe the bag was full of controller pods (that would explain the monster to be disorientated to...).

b) Anyone thought about the possibility Jamies videos are "coded", secret messages for teddy? (seems far-fetched to me).

Or.. the manga doesnt have anything to do with the movie?
The thing Teddy send to Jamie is a piece of "wax", but thats only a fact when the new MTH post turns out to be real.

this is probably OT.... but maybe the parasites didn't like the bright light that Hud had on the camera. They saw him turn it off when he went to night vision, and turn it back on when he saw them on the ceiling and the group started to run.

From the picture on the USGX site, they react to light (the one little guy is putting up his dukes to the submersible). Since Hud was the only one with the light, he would be the target they were trying to drag away.

As for the ingestible pod - i took it to mean it was surgically implanted, but that's a lot to assume:

March 6th - Kishin was conceived
August 25th - Belly is probably obvious on Yoko
December 28th (9 months later) - Kishin is born
April 7th (5 years later) - this sentence is key... "it's running already for 5 years... God's Vestiges can be found every moment" maybe there was something they had to prepare to hold the pod within his body?
May 11th - Pod is somehow inserted into Kishin.

perhaps it was placed in a muscle to protect it and keep it incubated.

Well, it could also be reacting to the sight of a thirty foot long submarine...

i remember the J&T video showing the small package from Teddy just being marked SBN, i think it was just a sample, not the pod.

c'mon, bro. i was slammin' SBN when you were still a busted-condom away from being made.

nostalgia is fine and all, but i'm just sayin'. blast some rihanna, and wreck your septum.

it's all about the "chop-chop-sniff" these days. Very Happy we do it big in '08.
