Just watched Yellow Jacket and I'd love to look into Pokeys brain and see how he feels about Paul, especially after learning more about him
Ooooo yea for sure! The thing is, otho is only a small part of pokotho as a whole, so I wonder how much control/awareness pokey had over what was happening in Yellow jacket. He's a hive mind, so it's probably a lot, but it's still interesting to consider.
As for Paul, I think it simply boils down to him being a kind of antithesis to pokey. He goes against the hive mind, against the idea of a singular voice, and he doesn't want anything, which is how pokey ended up getting him, with him finally having wants.
