    Thing they were eating at the end

    I'm guessing that the thing they were eating at the end was the young creature they encountered on their way back, because I don't recall them having killed any others.

    Up until that point, I really liked how they seemed to make peace with the creatures, but then they ended the episode with eating one of them, so it just felt wrong to me.

    They ate a space deer, not a predator thing.

      I was under the (possibly false) impression that the "deer" were just the "predators"' young.

        The thing that got blown up was one of the predators young.

          Yes. Bright green space deer grow up into giant six-legged tiger things. It's like Pokemon, but in space.

            My reasoning was that they said that the predators recognized them as a threat to their young, and they first attacked when they were about to shoot one of the deer.

              or maybe they were just encroaching on the predators' food supply.

                Yeah, thinking back now, that does seem to make more sense.
                I feel much better about this episode now that I know they weren't eating one of their babies. X)

                  The wouldn't be much of an eco system if the predators depended on their own young as a food source. Deer do not equal carnivores.

                    i did find the end ironic. they almost get killed trying to hunt a space deer (i like that), they then make peace saying they won't hurt anything, then they end up hunting a space deer anyway.

                      Well they said they weren't going to kill the intelligent creature ie the predator tiger thing.

                      Or, just possibly, the moral got mixed by sloppy writing. It would not shock me.

                            i hated the "intelligent predator " thingey. it's a frakking predator with 4 legs. it didn't have a campfire of it's own so why would it be able to detect *ugh* intelligence?

                              I want to throw out some Park love! I'm a vegetarian too! Although, who knows what I'd be without my chips and salsa and wine.

                              I do think it was kinda stupid to be shooting right after being 'let go'. Don't escape, and then cause more ruckus! But it did help the story come full-circle nicely.
