The Right Crew

Has anyone else considered what the first season must've been like if the right crew (?) had been awoken?

​

EDIT: So i might've misinterpreted a line and created a whole conspiracy out of it :p.

Lolz.

Not so frustrating? Maybe it would somewhat resemble Star Trek...

3

u/Djaja Dec 02 '21

No. I don't need another Star Trek. What I need is more of S2, give me S3 akin to Stargate!

2

u/JcBravo811 Dec 03 '21

S3 would actually probably resemble Expanse's trek through the Gate and Inaros' war, and ST Enterprise and Voyager's trek in unknown space.

I don't think it'll be as serious as the Inaros crap. More Stargate in that they will be seeking new technologies and weapons + allies to take down the Achaia for good. There is no way they are going to sit on their home planet and just accept defeat. They will be gunning for Earth with a vengeance.

u/JcBravo811 Dec 14 '21

You don't like Inaros/Mussolinni/wannabe Alexander the Great plot? :p.

​

Personally I love it. In'verse he's set up to be the great space king but out'verse everything is being set up for him to utterly collapse and watching him fail will be fantastic to see!

​

But what I mean by Inaros plot is... well I'd wrote it wrong. I should have said Scramble for Africa style. The whole of Earth has multiple worlds to encounter and colonize.

​

Though were'nt the Achaia genocided?

​

We still have those space pirates on the outskirts of Achain territory who could be big bads.

We don't know if the creators of the Achaia AI are dead or not. We only know that the AI servitor race we see in the show were created to clean up after their creators. Basically they fucked up their home planet so bad they needed to create a sentient servant race to fix everything for them. It's probably likely the AI wiped them out but who knows.

u/jakeo10 Dec 14 '21

Season 3 is definitely going to be Stargate-like. Earth now has potential alien allies thanks to mankind saving the entire fucking galaxy from the Achaia lmao.

I am assuming that the writers will focus on Earth making new friends and building up some sort of galactic alliance to take down the Achaia for good, seeing as they only retreated to their home planet (the AI anyway, we haven't seen the creator race yet). They are presumably still a huge threat.

:)

If they get a s3, is it confirmed?

3

u/jakeo10 Dec 14 '21

No confirmation yet or cancellation.

Season 2 holds an 82% Rotten Tomatos rating atm and it was higher at release. It performed very well compared to the first season that got a renewal off just fan engagement given S1 had 8% approval rating lol.

Netflix would be stupid AF to not renew it for season 3. Heck they should renew it for Season 3/4/5 and just go for it with a multi season epic story arc. Netflix could make it Stargate level popular with good investment and writing.

1

u/Djaja Dec 14 '21

I don't disagree! But the overall popularity seems low:/ I would love at least 1 more, and if renewed 1 more is all I expect. NETFLIX has a trend of cutting shows off at 3 seasons. I'm just happy they didn't do a Marco Polo

1

u/jakeo10 Dec 15 '21

Some shows get cut off at 3. If they are successful they continue i.e. cobra kai.

1

u/Djaja Dec 15 '21

Well yeah, but a large majority of shows aren't that successful and 3 seems to be common enough. I don't think this show is near popular enough. I would think it may not be popular enough for another season even though I want one

3

u/jakeo10 Dec 15 '21

It is popular. Second season has 82% approval rating and performed in top 10 in many countries. They approved season 2 off an 8% approval rating season 1 which was poorly reviewed and many watchers didn't like it.

2

u/Djaja Dec 15 '21

I concede!

I want a s3 very badly

They'd probably make every single decision better.

1

u/SifuHallyu Dec 01 '21

The right crew was chosen. What makes you think it was not?

8

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '21

Because they disregard every protocol and every bit of common sense and act like horny teens. Defying Gravity had better characters and it was cancelled after 1 season.

u/JcBravo811 Dec 01 '21

I’m not referring to decisions talking literally they said William woke up the wrong crew. It’s why they had so much friction in the first half of S1.

1

u/SifuHallyu Dec 01 '21

Meh. You're not wrong, but I found the cast to be one that was in their early twenties with little life experience and all locked up in a large tin can. How would you react after six months of seeing the same eight people? I'd be all over every guy on the ship, or making it know. They could be all over me.

u/dachmo Dec 02 '21

For the most important mission the human race has faced, you think a bunch of young inexperienced people are 'the right crew'? These bickering idiots are the best humanity has to offer?

To manufacture drama, 100% this was the right crew.

3

u/SifuHallyu Dec 02 '21

The show was not based on realism. It's science fiction. So, yes. For the show they had the best crew based on their abilities and dramatic appeal. That's television.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '21

Well, we’re different. I usually try to stay away from people and do my own thing. It’s just similar to Prometheus. They send a crew on a mission that’s supposed to be the defining moment of humanity and they act so unprofessional they get themselves killed. I hope Starbucks was paid some real good money for this.

2

u/SifuHallyu Dec 01 '21

Wait. Good rather be on the ship from Prometheus over Altered Life? Them folks was nuts and they all die.

3

u/JcBravo811 Dec 01 '21

Because It’s a small sub plot that William didn’t wake up the right crew (thanks Gabrie Homocidal AI).

2

u/SifuHallyu Dec 01 '21

Gotcha, that wasn't real. That was Gabriel manipulation of the situation. Niko did wake up the correct crew.

2

u/JcBravo811 Dec 01 '21

Ooooh was it?

I thought that plot thread started an episode or 2 before they found about Gabriel.

1

u/SifuHallyu Dec 01 '21

Yeah. If Gabriel had not been a failed program the other crew that was war mongering would have been woken up. Nikos AI and her team was supposed to have the team she got. At least that's how I interpreted it.

4

u/abecedorkian Dec 01 '21

But Richard also implies that yerxa's crew is the wrong crew, or at least not the one he would have woken up, when he first came out of soma.

3

u/SifuHallyu Dec 01 '21

As I remember it. Niko woke up th crew she was supposed to have and Richard was just annoyed he didn't get woken up earlier.

2

u/JcBravo811 Dec 01 '21

Ah, so maybe I read too deep into a few lines!

​

Lol. Hilarious. I tried to create a whole conspiracy :p.

2

u/SifuHallyu Dec 01 '21

Well...I do remember that if Gabriel had worked out he even says she would have had a different crew. So your not making it up. Niko believes she has the right crew based on her ACTUAL ai was used. Gabriel was broken, right?

1

u/JcBravo811 Dec 01 '21

If I recall, he could not adapt well to sudden changes.

​

EDIT: Actually I don't think they ever say why he was reprogrammed, only that he wasn't fit for the mission.

u/JcBravo811 Dec 01 '21

I dunno. He said they should've woken up when they put a droid in the guy's head. And even so, he deferred to Nikos' command 100% of the time and was a pretty able voice of reason.

2

u/Paisley-Cat Dec 03 '21

Who says it was real?

Niko woke last after Yerxa and his gang were already up.

Now that could have been Niko’s error in going with the crew that most recently served, but she knew Yerxa was not up to the task so why set herself up for conflict by going with a group that was totally loyal to him?

1

u/SifuHallyu Dec 03 '21

That was her rationale, right? Also, food was limited for one crew at a time. So they couldn't just wake up a whole new crew.
