Mitchell Loughlin’s Reviews > Mickey 7 > Status Update

On the mission a scientist and a couple of security members get eaten by creepers while 7 and another guard escape thanks to berto flying overhead. 7 gave the scientist a warning about his gear and it’s unclear if that would have helped him.

7 has said several times that he doesn’t think burners work to kill creepers and this is proven true but I don’t think we know why he knows this yet

7 gets pulled into field duty where he finds one of the crew members has been turned to slag after a creeper got into the station. Marshall wants to expedite the defense process so they go on a mission to secure a sample.

So far no mention of the Marshall having a sauce obsessed wife like the movie. Weird choice to add that in…

Aka every iteration of Mickey after 1 is a soulless abomination.
Most people think he was conscripted from prison so they tend to leave him alone.


M7 and berto get the rations cut by 20% because they wasted m7. Kindof silly to punish the guy who died for dieing

7&8 talk plans about how they are going to manage this but they don’t think it through much. 8 seems a bit smarter then 7

Mickey1 goes through expendable training that covers the basics of how the ship works. The thinking is that if he knows some of it now he won’t need to be taught when the shit hits the fan. This training also includes shooting yourself in the head once you complete the first memory backup. Fortunately for 1 it’s just a test and the gun doesn’t go off.
The Marshall is deeply religious and thinks 1 sole/body

They both log as mickey8 in the coms and question if the system with notice they are pinging from two locations. The Marshall who is in charge is deeply religious and hates Mickey. 7 is in his way to see him

Mickey7&8 rock Paper sissies about who will be turned to paste which 8 wins but feels bad about. They desire to stick it out for a bit and split there meager rations for a while.
8 goes to bed while 7 gets breakfast (discounted meal paste).B lies to him about how he died which he catches. And his GF tells him the truth. B feels that something is off but can’t quite place it. B is also an asshole

Reading this after the movie so I’ll be calling out differences as I notice them.


Mickey is an extendable meaning he has given permission for his memories and body to be reproduced upon his death.
We open on Mickey 7 who has fallen into an ice cave. His best friend and girlfriend have very different reactions but both leave him to die. He is saved by a big ass bug and makes it home to find Mickey 8
