Haus, the green traveller is going backwards in time through the boy's lineage. He enters the body at the moment of death, and is now in the boy.
Hang on - he starts out, from our temporal perspective, in the body of the boy. Then he ends up in the pig. From his perspective, the Green Traveller was in the pig, and was then in the boy. This makes sense, as the Green Traveller can look out from the body of Captain Jack the giant pig and think "Oooh! Opposable thumbs! In many ways, they are actually more useful for terrorising than being gigantic and porcine, since with the best will in the world a very large pig is only about as scary as a slightly smaller bear, and bears are, although savage and not to be trifled with, a piece of piss to deal with from a helicopter". However, it raises as many questions as it answers. For one, why did he end up in the body of an enormous pig to start with? TBH, I have to mark that as a bad career move from the Green Traveller. Second, if the Green Traveller is going back in time through the boy's lineage, why was it previously (from its point of view) in a giant pig? Did the boy give birth to the giant pig? If so, is this why his dad killed him, or *how* his dad killed him. It would at least explain why they decided to use kid's DNA in the graft (although not why they decided to graft any human DNA into an enormous pig in the first place. It's already an enormous pig. What more do you want?) - genetic compatibility. Like donating a liver.
Also, does that mean that the kid's dad already has been possessed, will in is future be possessed, or is a gigantic pig? I like the idea of a battle between two gigantic pigs, each the size of a small car, but one of which believes itself to be a human being and thus keeps trying to commandeer helicopters... with hilarious consequences.
My head hurts. Ooh, and I have a job! |
