The Cloverfield Paradox: 20 WTF Moments

11. Volkov's Worm Vomit

After Volkov points his shiny new gun at Schmidt, he suffers a seizure and is brought to the med-bay, where he promptly dies.

A moment passes before his corpse somehow vomits up the ship's entire colony of worms which had gone missing following the Shepard firing.

This was clearly a cheeky nod to Howard Stambler's comment in 10 Cloverfield Lane about "mutant space worms", even if they sadly didn't fully live up to Stambler's claims here.

Sure, Volkov died and the med-bay was now covered with worms, but as Mundy (Chris O'Dowd) so aptly put it a moment later, "Well, we found the worms."
