    Why didn’t they send reboot bodies up to the ship and work remotely?

      oh damn, brilliant point, I have to admit I missed that.

      To be generous to the writers:
      Equipment required for that side is heavier, and/or requires more power/support than humans
      But we haven’t seen anything about that

        Lol, good point indeed, haven’t thought of that.

        Don’t be too generous to writers as they couldn’t be bothered to make this story slightly more coherent ;)

    What do you think they did after the screen went to black?

    Murderer seemed to want to talk.

    BTW, what were they doing in space?
    largely waiting and keeping the ship alive, but what were they waiting for?

      Kill one another? No way I could buy any other resolution so I really did not appreciate the ending which implied that they might continue with mission as they are in some warped way both on the same level now.

      I don’t think any specifics about the mission were mentioned other that it was going to take another 4 years. So yep they were having some nice round trip across the space hell knows where doing fuck knows what.

    Liked the beginning and the general premise but somehow further it went more it fell apart for me. On one hand I do appreciate how they wanted to tell contained, intimate story in this setting but I dunno, couldn’t get past how after the Manson style massacre they would be pretty much left to their own devices to sort it out somehow. Among other bits. Shame cause I think there was some potential here.
