Python / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: With demonstrably keen hearing, a speedy metabolism, a slashing tail and the ability to spit acid, as well as traits of various different snake species, Python is emphatically a snake-monster rather than just a large animal. Python is just its name rather than its species. | |

Agents Parker and Dootsen are furious with Rudolph for causing the fiasco in the first place by not telling them about the snake and seek to kill it before it can harm anyone else, ignoring Rudolph's Just Think of the Potential! speeches (although they do say he can harvest whatever useful chemicals are left from the body, an idea which might have borne fruit). | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Brian is the dedicated manager of the local plant, while John left town for long periods of time and prefers to go mountain biking with his friends. This is somewhat softened though given how John does feel that the plant is unhealthy for the workers and perhaps economically unsound, and not worth the two of them slaving and perhaps dying over. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
Python / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: The reason Python escapes in the first place is because the people who designed it apparently decided to transport it in a puny wooden cargo crate inside a cargo plane, staffed only by two crew members who were kept completely in the dark about its deadly contents. Agent Parker is not happy with Rudolph about this, giving him a What the Hell, Hero? speech. After making it to the bunker and talking to Dr. Rudolph, John and Kristin realize that they were in too much of a hurry to lock, or even close the door behind them, despite Python being nearby. Fortunately, this works in their favor, as it lets Theresa get in, instead of the snake, when she might have been a sitting duck trapped outside. | |

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Greg standing there, shooting the snake (well after learning bullets may annoy it but can't kill it) to lure it away from Kristin and Theresa. | |

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
Python / int_c1cef253 | comment |
Nice Mean And In Between: The three cops. Greg is a fairly polite, helpful and honorable man even before he gets over his jealousy. Sheriff Griffin is willing to close down the plant on sketchy evidence and arrest John but is a professional man whose just following the evidence and does apologize afterwards. Lewis is constantly smug, eager to believe the worst of John, and enjoys bullying around suspects, while also calling Kristin a bitch (although to his credit, he does admit that he's a bit too impatient for a cop and express some desire to improve). | |

Car Fu | |
Python / int_c2d978fe | comment |
Car Fu: While being chased in a truck by Python, Theresa eventually just backs up and slams it, although this fails to seriously injure the snake, which then disables the car, with Theresa barely escaping. | |

Beware My Stinger Tail | |
Python / int_cbe3a70d | comment |
Beware My Stinger Tail: The snake uses its tail to decapitate one unfortunate victim, and impales another through the chest. May overlap with a whip, as its tail is clearly not armed with any kind of spike or blade, relying on sheer force. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Python / int_d39e327f | comment |
The reason Python escapes in the first place is because the people who designed it apparently decided to transport it in a puny wooden cargo crate inside a cargo plane, staffed only by two crew members who were kept completely in the dark about its deadly contents. Agent Parker is not happy with Rudolph about this, giving him a What the Hell, Hero? speech. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
Python / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Sheriff Wade and Greg follow the evidence in the case, remaining objective and only arresting or inconveniencing the leads when it makes sense for them to do so. They also both understandably call out Lewis on going overboard. Agents Parker and Dootsen are furious with Rudolph for causing the fiasco in the first place by not telling them about the snake and seek to kill it before it can harm anyone else, ignoring Rudolph's Just Think of the Potential! speeches (although they do say he can harvest whatever useful chemicals are left from the body, an idea which might have borne fruit). | |

Conversation Cut | |
Python / int_eaf8c23a | comment |
Conversation Cut: Early on there's one as Tommy and John, and Kristin and Theresa separately discuss Tommy and Theresa's relationship. Apparently Theresa has liked Tommy since they met on the playground in second grade and he's only liked her since junior high after seeing her in a varsity sweater. Tommy thinks he is Unable to Support a Wife, wanting to go into real estate and make money there, while Theresa says she wouldn't mind living in a trailer park and questions the realism of his goals. Both of them do have mixed feelings about the current status of their sex life though. | |
