Why did Riddick kill Carolyn. Was it so he could save himself or was it because she said she would die for the crew? Or was it because she said she would die for them but not for Riddick so he killed her saying not me as in she shouldn't even have gone back becuase he would kill her anyways? I'm so confused on that part.

carolyn died because Riddick asked her to make a choice pretty much. Her or the others to be saved. He origionally asked her to get on without them and she said she couldnt, he asks would she die for them. she says she would. Riddick takes her life to save the rest of the crew.

You're all smoking crack.
Look at the shocked expression on his face when shes impaled and how he screams out (showing emotion for the first and only time) because he doesn't want her to die for him. And how - afterwards - he deliberately delays take-off so he can fry a few of the monsters to get revenge for her.

Did you even watch the show?
LOL
Srsly?! This again? Didn't the other thread reach like 25 pages?
Is it the same OP that keeps insisting on this? lol
~What if this is as good as it gets?!~
This thread is pretty old, and I didn't think there would be that many pages for it. I'm not the same OP as the other; didn't know there was a similar question to mine.
shareLOL
Ok, I was just wondering because there was almost the same exact thread about this before and went on for like 25 pages mostly by the same OP who kept insisting on his point of view and trying to convince everyone else of it.
Haha...no worries.
~What if this is as good as it gets?!~
she came back for Riddick and died because she tried to save him , in a sense losing her life so he could live on hence the "not for me" part...
( as in "don't die for me, not me, I am filth")
...since the priest, the girl and Carolyn are the only people in the group that treated him in any way like a human being rather than a monster that people see him as
this is why he says "Riddick died somewhere on that planet" at the end...
and to quote some one earlier on this thread
"did you guys even watch the show?"

Thanks for the spoiler. ...
shareNot a spoiler when you consider how long it's been since the film came out! MOF, I don't know anybody who HASN'T seen Pitch Black; even more so, I don't know of anyone who hasn't seen both the theatrical version along with the DC (Director's Cut) version of the film!
If the film was only a few months old, this might constitute 'spoiler' but at this late date - you're way off base with the insult of admonishing people for discussing the film in whole. If you didn't want to know, you should stay off the IMDB movie boards until after you've seen whatever movie you are considering to watch. It will save you time & you won't sound as ignorant when you start name-calling over something in a thread being a spoiler b/c this is most assuredly NO SPOILER!

Just because you don't know anyone who has not does mean it is not so. ..
shareActually, it pretty much does.
There are few things for someone who has spent many years suffering from autoimmune diseases that have become disabling and even worse, the pain is so excruciating that chronic insomnia becomes a problem and it is worse at night so the only thing one can do to try to trick the brain into lessening the pain while waiting for the break-through pain medication to kick in is to watch movies.
There are some 80,000+ just on one support group I subscribe to that has a splinter group of movie watchers who like me, watch films in order to attempt to take the mind off the pain until or at times 'if' the pain can become tolerable even with the break-through pain medications. We had a long discussion about this film and the group was tremendous when we began discussing this film as everyone there, including members from other lists of other autoimmune disease types so the count of people who seen the movie was extremely high - high as in 200,000+ discussing the film. I have 4 autoimmune diseases and there were others joining in who had autoimmune diseases I didn't have but I did have access to the member count numbers and they were well over 200,000 people.
There's only a few things to keep your mind off pain that is debilitating enough to make you want to blow your brains out to make it stop: taking the break-through pain meds (I'm on Oxycodone in addition to the Fentanyl patch & other medications that don't make me sleepy anymore than it does anyone else b/c when it comes to chronic pain, pain medicine doesn't work the same on us as it does on those without chronic pain conditions or diseases. Less than 0.01% of chronic pain patients become addicted to pain medication whereas someone who undergoes a minor surgery has something like a 95% chance of becoming addicted); soaking in hot water (100F to 102F); & doing both of the previous 2 things along with crying from the pain if or until it eases off or end up in the ER where you get an injection of Dilaudid mixed with Phenergan (Phenergan is an anti-emetic and it's given with Dilaudid b/c Dilaudid often causes nausea and vomiting so the Phenergan stops the nausea & vomiting, which is important considering that Dilaudid, when given to someone with chronic pain issues, is given at a higher dose and generally can put a person down for as high as 4 days! I have had no choice but to have the injections and it's put me out for a little over 4-days and I have no memories of what happened over those 4 days. The last thing I remember is my oldest daughter, then youngest daughter after our oldest moved closer to her college campus, and my husband had to help me get indoors and on the couch before I was too far out of it that my husband would have had to carry me and it's not possible for him to do so since 2009. It's why I try to fight through the pain until the breakthrough meds kick in but when they don't, I usually have my oldest daughter meet us at the hospital so she can help me get indoors without her dad having to pull on me so much.
FYI: Considering the number of people who were in the chat the night we discussed the movie, I think it's more than fair to say that I have a much higher understanding and wider number of people whose opinions were taken regarding the movie than you have since you only have yourself...

Well, in this Japanese H-Comic I "read" she lays a bunch of alien monster eggs.
Gotta love the sick Japanese *beep*
What were you watching the movie on? I'm watching it on DVD which is about my 20th time now, he didn't stab her, the alien stuck it's head into her spine and took her away, he didn't intentionally move her into him so it would kill her, he was struggling to get his strength back, if he did do it intentionally he wouldn't have shouted into the darkness "not for me" and got emotional about it, and he wouldn't be crouching on the floor trying to regain his strength. Plus he got revenge on the Aliens when he had a chose to leave the planet, he waited for them to surround the ship so he could 'fry' them
shareOk that makes much more sense thanks for clearing that up nicely! I haven't seen it since when i first watched it, but I swear I re-winded it like 10 times trying to see if he did it on purpose or if the alien killed her. The part where he shouted threw me off. On the one hand I thought he got emotional because he regretted supposedly killing her, but on the other hand I thought he felt bad because she died trying to help him. Same with him killing the aliens lol And this is the only movie I've watched about Riddick, so I didn't fully understand his motivations or anything about his character.
sharePlus the reason he shouted not for me because his life weren't as great as Caroylns because she was more worthy to survive and she brought out the new human side of Riddick. So basically he didn't want her to die for him :) hope try 2 replies clear the questions
