  The cheesy crawl penne is the scariest thing in this series. Didn&apos;t wash the cutting board, didn&apos;t mix in the meat with the pasta, didn&apos;t even melt the fucking cheese and left everything as like one of those sediment layer diagrams you&apos;d see in a science textbook. I think even without the Host spores that are clearly in that flavor enhancer that this food would give you some kind of booty demon.<br>Edit: I had to pause on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtIjwVZTLC4&amp;t=2370">39:30</a> because I was laughing so goddamn hard at the one(1) slice of white bread being <i>coated</i> in the powder. It feels like part of a Tim and Eric skit.

  I like to imagine that the Prince himself didn&apos;t literally create the vita carnis species out of thin air, but rather just introduced them to earth from seeds, spores, or polyps.

  I have another more minor theory: trimmings are failed mimics. Both trimmings and mimics have similar early stages, just that a trimming is rounder and more docile. What if by taking care of a trimming you activate it’s metamorphosis stage and make it turn into a full blown mimic? Or what if instead of treating it like a good trimming you mistreat it and fail to feed it, making it go from plump ball to malnourished skinned creature with a spiteful hatred of humanity.

  The Species Anomaly Report is the most terrifying. That video makes the Harversters even more of a deadly threat than a Mimic. The authorities didn&apos;t deal with the Harvester, instead they put up danger signs and simply told the public to &quot;pay better attention&quot;

  I don’t know if I missed you mentioning this but I’m pretty sure the flavor enhancer tape purposefully lines up with the Host video— the flavor enhancer is probably made of its spores

  My idea for why the mimic defense info is different is probably because the government doesn&apos;t want to make the population seem helpless. By saying you&apos;re able to fight back in a way allows there to be less panic and anxiety over &quot;your only hope is to buy time and defend yourself or run&quot;, regardless of if that information is actually usable or not.<br><br>It also is a way of making the population think that mimics aren&apos;t really that big a problem and that the government has everything under control.

  My thought is that the critters are what became Vita Carnis. If the Prince wanted to help humans it wouldn’t make sense for them to create creatures that would directly place them in danger. My current theory is that the critters’ environment was being taken over by humans, which is why some of the more terrifying meats target humans.

  Imagen if you will, if that&apos;s what a single trimming sounds like, and a pet one at that, the wild trimmings being a pest because of &quot;excessive noise&quot; from the documentary is an understatement

  I swear, I wouldn&apos;t be caught dead with a noisy pet in a world where we have an advanced predator species.

  The closet mimic scene is something I didn&apos;t need in my life. It&apos;s so well done and fear inducing

  something i think you missed is that on the Canada map, that island that&apos;s so important actually doesn&apos;t exist irl, there&apos;s no big island on the centre of Hudson bay, also there&apos;s a theory going around that may help understand why stuff like the mimics and hosts exists, and that&apos;s that on said island the critters lived and these critters are not human and are asking for help against humans
