Save the ticks

[pipi]

Anyone thinks it's a good idea to preserve the ticks as live specimens instead of just squishing them?

Properly contained and administered, they could prove to be a recreational drug for certain people. Ofcause there are unknowns side effects but what drug doesn't have those.

the last thing you need is a crew members screaming or being paranoid in a crisis. the smurfs are coming

[AquaGamer53]

There would probably be too many concerns over them getting loose and all that. I mean, what if they grow into flesh eating monsters

Spoiler:

like in the Time episode?

I wonder though, if they kept the squashed bug goo. That would have had to have some of the substance that was causing the hallucinations.

And all you would need is those things getting loose on the ship and you'd have a never ending supply of them. Not a good thing.

Agreed! They do not need no stinking ticks...

[Gollumpus]

Besides, you can't even tock to them...

and we don't need a communication stone ep with greer being in a tick.

There is no telling what the long term affect of having those bugs attached to someone would be and it certainly wouldn't be worth the risk to try to find out.

They should've saved a tick for Chloe so that she could talk to her dad when she's feeling down.

Exactly, Eli made that same point to Chloe when she was seeing her dad; I doubt whatever the effect would end very well.

That would be one badass tick, however I'm not sure how they'd handle Greer's body wanting to glom on to the back of the neck of anyone who came within reach.

On a really weird note, what if tick-Greer managed to get on to Greer-tick? Would he become normal?

If the ticks bred they could use them to 'up tick' the ratings.

Or, if things got boring the crew could have a rousing game of "Pick up Ticks".

the venom is an interesting interrogation method

[Lahela]

Who knows what it could be used for - it might work as the universe's most effective antiseptic. Just like the squiddies in Time - who would have thought their venom would make a good anaesthetic until Scott survived his attack? You never know until you test, so I would vote for keeping at least some alive for research purposes.
