my problem is I think I'm clever

The crewmates are genderless, so it doesnt really apply in the exact same way, but consider:

Blue is considered exceptionally attractive. Almost every time they are on screen, someone mentions that they find them hot.

2. The only characteristic that people actually appreciate about blue is their ability to do well working with others, which is ALWAYS mentioned alongside their attractiveness.

3. Whether or not blue is alright with the consistant fixation on them being attractive is not considered by a single character. Nobody asks how they feel about this. Even the few interactions that have someone treating them like a person, nobody is shown considering blue's perspective.

4. Blue doesnt react a single BIT to the way they are treated. Not once to they say a word. It's clear theyd have definitely heard people many times, yet they do not react. Ever. They dont say a word. Very clearly ignoring it and focusing on their efforts to help.

5. They work a job thats specifically assisting others. Their skills at their job are pretty much never acknowledged. Theyre the "hot doctor", not the "skilled doctor". Their care for others that extends to the career that they chose is even brushed off with humor in a scene: "wouldnt it technically be easier since youre only lifting half of them?". No one else says a word.

6. After they died, people STILL focused on their attractiveness. It was much less of a concious descision due to the lack of oxygen, but their attractiveness was mentioned BEFORE the fact they were DEAD. The crew focused on the fact they were HOT before the fact they were DEAD.

All of these things seeming like direct parallels to how women (especially women with jobs like theirs) are treated in society:

Women who are considered attractive have said attractiveness be heavily focused on

Women's skills are practically never focused on by people, only their attractiveness

Women's oppinions on how often others express finding them attractive is always brushed off

With how often women's feelings are disregarded, a lot of them take to just not acknowledging it when it happens.

When women work in fields like the medical field, its often found that patients dont consider them skilled, yet some of them dont care because of how they find that woman attractive.

Women's attractiveness always comes before their humanity. People will look at a corpse and claim "we lost a baddie".

I love how at least some of the kills are reminiscent of how you actually kill people in the game, and I love how REAL and HUMAN the reactions are to seeing the first body and how everyone seems to slowly be desensitized but also the way Red tries to deny the fact that there's an alien murderer aboard to keep everyone calm.

I love how some of the kills parallel eachother in their locations but also imitate how an actual match would go and mimic when and how really good(or really bad) kills would happen and how, and I really like that they showed green having alibies the whole time to make them not look suspicious while their parasite went to deal with some kills.

I love how Black's death was executed, literally. Vent kills are very common, and I love how that kill in particular was what made Red and Purple begin to turn on eachother out of panic. I love that the panic felt REAL, it felt like the two were out of options, utterly confused, and probably scared too. I love how that impacted the pointing of their fingers, and I love how Green took advantage of that to try and split them apart so they could finish the game.

I love the way that every Skeld emergency was handled, I love that the lack of oxygen ACTUALLY HAD AN AFFECT ON THE CREW and how they used what I hope is an actual medical term to describe it, I also love how they gave certain amounts of time to fix the issues like in the real game but also likely how it would work in real life.

I loved Black and Brown's reactions to their "people" dying. Black didn't want to admit that they liked Cyan even a bit, but when faced with their body in storage they actually became curious and snooped through their journal, not only leading them to finding out what was going on but also leading them to realize they missed Cyan so much it hurt. Black also APOLOGIZED to Cyan's body, because they realized how much of a dick they were actually being too late, and wondered if that apology had been said sooner if Cyan would have still lived. They blamed themself FULLY, and in that blame, their anger toward Cyan turned into guilt toward themself that ultimately allowed Black to have even a small amount of closure before they died.

Yellow was Brown's best friend. Their soulmate and closest partner in the kitchen. So when they were ejected and Brown not only blamed the whole crew for being wrong, but also themself, what did they do? They went into the kitchen and cooked a pizza. The thing they always did with Yellow. And, because they wanted to honor Yellow's wish, they tried the salted pizza, and enjoyed every second of it before they died. Oh, not to mention, WHEN they died, they didn't even fight back. They didn't fight back because they knew they were going to see their partner again. They were atoning.

The grief destroyed these two in really different ways, and I LOVE how the show handled it. Seriously. It was never a joke. It was never a gag, or something played off for entertainment value. It was raw, it was real, and it felt like something a human would actually do in both cases.

I loved the hints that Green and Orange were parasites from the start. The "blink and you'll miss it" frames of the parasite jumping behind the same box that Green and Orange slid behind, the offhanded comments the two made trying to act normal, the way that they both began to hate salt(and also I love how that detail was the way that Purple figured out who was the imposter both times), the way that Green's parasite was actually seen slipping through vents, the way the two kind of.. lost their personalities? Just all of it was great.

The FORESHADOWING IN THIS SHOW. Especially one I see NO ONE talking about, which is the zoom in on Brown cutting the pizza, which may have been a bad bit of foreshadowing because what it foreshadowed happened so quick after, but it's still really good. I also like the foreshadowing of the first two people who died being in the same room with Green in the intro, along with Orange still interacting with Lime's bits in the intro because of how they were trying to act like everything was normal, I love how Purple and Red were basically front and center of the intro while Green was off to one side trying to look non threatening or unimportant, I love how Lime's gun was dismissed as crazy until the very end which is a good way to show how stereotypes stick around even in death.

I loved seeing how the fear and confusion changed the crew, the way that some became vulnerable and others became closed off, the way that some stuck to others out of fear and others stayed away from groups out of the same fear, god I loved it all.

I loved how some of the stereotypes were implemented. Like how everyone swooned over Blue even after they died and Blue's refusal to acknowledge it which was a good way of showing it actually affecting them but then being used to it by this point. I love how everyone dismissed Lime as crazy even when they were right and probably freaking out as much as a normal person should've been, I love how they actually tried to protect themself and got really mad when it failed just before their death. I love Black's stereotypical "emo edgy" personality, and how it actually affected what they did and how they interacted with people under stress.
