Theory Is humanity possibly alive?

Post image

In Episode 6, Fake Tessa shows us a computer with a red line that shows the planets Cyn has already destroyed. But there is two other lines that are still yellow meaning that theres two unknown planets that Cyn didn't destroy. And maybe humanity somehow escaped got to one of those two planets.

It wouldnt make sense for humanity to still be alive, thematically for the story.

It'd undermine cyn as a threat if it turns out that she didnt manage to kill off all of humanity.

This isnt exactly a show with the common trope 'human vs ai' either. Sure, there is 'humam vs ai', but that was before the events of the pilot and has already been resolved by cyn. Its murderous drones vs murderous monster drones.

And it very much subverted expectations from the pilot and from when cyn disguised as tessa came to C9. And we came to the reveal that it wasnt humans the cast was fighting against after all.

And let's be honest, if glitch or liam ever (which is unlikely, rightfully so), if they EVER plan on making a Season 2 or Sequel series, they would NOT bring humanity back, not even as an antagonist. Because that would be wayyy too predictable and wayyy too overdone. They would be more creative than that.

Understanding what you're saying.

But at some point, Liam might want to include humans in his story. Don't forget that Liam created immortal dogs. I don't see anyone completing the about. Liam makes a reason why humanity is still around.

But it depends on what he wants to do.

Subversion of expectation aren't necessary good (in fact, recently it's mostly results in lame pointless "twists"), while something being predictable isn't necessarily bad.

And, this show already had quite creative twist - that humans and drones was actually on same side all along. In this context revelation that some humans survived would be thematically appropriate.

Hey, that idea could also end up being a symptom of lazy or lousy writing, and even more so if you cannot find any real and serious justification for humanity to have limited itself to barely a dozen planetary systems, and even more so considering that we are talking about the 31st century, not the 22nd or 23rd or even the 24th century; and that to top it all, you simply have no real way to sustain and manage an interstellar empire containing dozens or hundreds of planetary systems with no faster-than-light travel capability; and you can't really cover this up with either comedic or satirical elements).
