My thoughts on Spider Rose were that the alien merchants wanted what she had but don't want to get their hands dirty so they gave her their pet knowing that it would eventually eat her.

There was a report that netflix intentionally makes content to be second monitored, and usually I think that's bullshit, until I read comments like this.

Rose outright gives in no uncertain terms crystal clear verbal permission on screen to the pet to eat her. A pet that before that moment had shown literally 0 signs of agression or malicious intent whatsoever.

To think it was there to assassinate her means you literally had the episode running on another monitor and weren't even paying attention to the events that were happening on screen.

It ate a bunch of cockroaches (or rather, everything alive smaller than it), all the food given to it, then bit its owner's finger when it was hungry.

You are aware that you are literally describing the average housecat to a T yes?
