Uhhh... I don't think this video is what it's supposed to be.

Does anyone have the old CSI level examination pictures of the Cloverfield trailer where people were seeing Voltron?

Who's to say it wasn't actually about Voltron? Maybe we just weren't looking hard enough.

Literally everyone in the thread: "She is going into certain danger."

Camp A: "She is going into certain danger and knows it, so it's not a trap."

Camp B: "She is going into certain danger and doesn't know it, so it's a trap."

Bibs: "See? The director said she's going into certain danger, so he agrees with me."

quote:

They don't mention Baton Rouge as a safe zone. They mention Houston being where they've fought off the aliens and taken back the area, when the ship in the clouds on top of it makes it clear that they've done no such thing.

Can we get a clarification on this? Are you still taking the position that they don't mention Baton Rouge being a safe zone?

It's still a honeypot by the aliens, though. I don't care if they are claiming a survivable combat situation or punch and pie, the Mothership flying unopposed where she's heading makes any alternative reading madness.

So you concede that this:

There's a message being broadcast saying "hey all humans, come to this awesome place, there are no aliens here, but plenty of punch and cake", in which the Awesome Place has a giant spaceship within eyeball distance of it. Goodman was right, they are in a phase of flushing out humans.

and this:

So, given that you've conceded that she is intentionally entering a dangerous situation, how does the director's statement support your theory?

Is she really "ready to face" the danger if it's a trap?

She thinks she is. She's totally not

So, in other words, the director's statement directly contradicts your stance.

Director: "She's ready to face it."

Bibs: "What the director actually means is she's not ready to face it."

Not at all. Ready to face something doesn't mean you're going to survive it.

Who said anything about surviving it? Is your definition of a trap "something you can't survive?"

Like, people are saying "She's willing to face danger" and your response is "but that danger is dangerous, therefore blah blah blah..."
