This Croc won't really die in 18-days, but I get the feeling it'll be a new future for him. Sorry, this is clearly heading in the direction of a happy ending; we all know it. I'm personally a bit over it, but I still enjoy the cute moments and want to see the twist(?) at the end.
As fucked up as it may sound, I almost feel like if he really did die it would be a pretty strong message -- but even still, I want him to live.
