Eek.
On the plus side, that'll makes things easier for Steve and Kat when they necroscopy the whales. Those bites look a bit small for the behemoth we see in the film, though. Perhaps the whales were its baby food.
Some of this backstory material is pretty cool, but I'm skeptical that it all makes up for a coherent whole. That's why I don't like JJ Abrams's television series. After a while, I start to think: "This guy is throwing in everything he can think of to build a mythology that will never, ever make sense." He's like the Stephen King of old, imaginative and a born storyteller but wholly incapable of self-editing or narrative discipline.
I still like my theory about the monster, but the filmmaker's notion that the behemoth is actually a juvenile, lost and scared, is pretty cool too. Presumably, that's why its movements are so gawky and uncoordinated, and at times it seems to be looking for something. Looking for Mom?
