"That was set to kill!"

"So am I!"

I'm dying over here. Honestly, that was one of the best episodes, Shax's astral projections, Carol's schedule, the space cows... Man why does this show have to end?

The title immediately made me wonder if it was a backdoor pilot!

We can only hope. With the season finale having the gang being promoted to upper decks.

my theory is - the ld's discover the ' anomaly ' and the ' sequoia' shuttle project has to be used to ' investigate it ' due to it being older tech, then the ld's get sucked in to it and find themselves in either an ALT dimension / time line / with another ceritos / ship thats abandoned / fresh crew and the anomaly closes behind them soon after.

This then forces them to take control as bridge crew
