It was an odd movie which seemed to end in a out of context manner. From my understanding (an memory), Dr. Gray was just one (leader) of the viral aliens and Duddets was a from a race that tries to control the virus aliens from out breaking. Since Duddets was obviously physic, he knew that Dr Gray would eventually show up and if allowed to spread would become a danger to everyone (not just us). He also prepared the group of guys for there upcoming outbreak.
I think Duddets was just the kid that the 'good' alien lived it (a good parasite?) while he waited for Dr. Gray to show up. Either way, there has to have been a lot missing from the book because the meaning didn't flow aside from this literal interpretation. Or perhaps that's all that was there but it left me feeling that there was supposed to be something more. And why was Dr. Gray English? Perhaps portray his intelligence to show he was not just some 'dumb' virus? On 1/19/06, Zaphod Beeblebrox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Okay, so yesterday I watched Dreamcatcher.
