Wouldn't it have been a nice ending if someone had greeted the crew members. Then it turned out that it wasn't an old Jim but his son.
shareYes I agree. No it wouldn't be child abuse to have a child on a ship with 88 years left in transit.
shareNo if they had a kid and put it into the medical sleep chamber thing, that would be cool. They could grow old and stare at the kid and be all sad for our entertainment. Kid wakes up on homestead 2 & has all these stories to tell about his parents and their adventures. Kid is seen building a house designed by his father (Jim) and writing about all of this then sending it back down to earth. We finally see earth and it's a total dump. All ppl live for are the fresh air, green grass stories Jimmy Jr. writes.
or, better yet, make the kid a girl building the house so the audience can lose their minds over a feminist agenda.
I think it will take another hour to wrap the kid thing. I think they have made a great ending. Otherwise it will get dragged.
shareThe kid wouldn't have a ship ID, and wouldn't receive any resources or access. Not even the porridge that Jim got with his blue collar access.
---Listen, ..do you smell something?---
Why not? The kid could use someone else's band much like Jim and Aurora did.
shareThe kid wouldn't have a ship ID, and wouldn't receive any resources or access. Not even the porridge that Jim got with his blue collar access.Good point about the ID.
They could use Gus' ID bracelet, pretend the kid is Gus, since he's dead anyway. Or use the bracelet to override everything.
shareThat's actually not a bad idea.
shareBut would have happened it they had more than one child? Since the children would have no option but to start sleeping with each other.
Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.
But would have happened it they had more than one child? Since the children would have no option but to start sleeping with each other.People keep claiming, over and over, that any children Jim and Aurora had would have had just two choices, raise grandchildren who were at serious risk of expressing dangerous recessive genetic defects -- or go childless.
You know, I completely forgot about that! Thanks for letting me know.

Sibling incest with no history of incest in the family have little to no genetic defects if they have kids.
shareAurora did lay a few eggs, but none of them hatched. Jim croaked pretty young, so she had a lonely old age tending that tree. After a while she became convinced she was a woodpecker - eventually she fell out of the tree and broke her neck - all very tragic.
shareActually my preferred option for the kid is this: they figured out that having a kid would mean stranding him/her on the ship with them and they didn't want to do that. But still wanted their offspring to have a life on the new planet, soooooo..... as we know none of them used the medical pod to hibernate, but they had lots of sex she got pregnant then they made all the advanced medical scans to make sure that the kid was gonna be top notch genetically and health wise. After it was born they put the kid in the medical pod into hibernation with a note to the crew saying "please take care of our kid, we had a spectacular life on board and you're welcome for saving your asses". Roll credits with Andy Garcia staring the little pink bundle of joy with a bewildered expression on his face with the rest of the waking crew.
shareYeh I like that
shareI've seen that movie. Oh wait...

Or grandson, if it was 88 years later, the son would've been too old. Plus they need to have kids to look after all that flora lying around.
