This way something else could happen on their journey without changing the ending before they arrive at the planet. Maybe Jim and Aurora plan for a “what if scenario” like, what if something happens and they need people who know more about the ship then they do? Like a ship engineer and a doctor. So, Jim and Aurora find these two people in the ship manifest just in case and are later forced to wake them. Potentially it is the doctor and the engineer that figure out how to fix the pod and transfer people from the med bay to the pods later in part 2. This would keep Jim and Aurora in the storyline and then Arthur could still be mobile, putting the last person to sleep in the med bay. I also dream that the ship comes out of lightspeed for some reason. Like space pirates or a distress signal from a returning passenger ship that would require a doctor and a ship engineer.
At the end of the first movie, we see the people waking up and they all notice all the plants and trees, and a robot is carrying vegetables. While we hear Aurora narrating as she is writing at the end of the story. So, it could simply cut to their current lives at the beginning of part 2 as she is narrating, to continue the second movie. I have often thought there could be a reason they needed all those plants and vegetables at the end. Maybe they needed more food, or the ships’ food went bad when it was damaged. Maybe the 5000 people would have gone the last two months with no food and starved had they not built a massive garden out of the ship’s large open areas. In my mind there are still so many possibilities to keep the original characters and continue many other adventures before they even reach the planet. It is called Passengers, so if the movie continues in a sequel, it should be about them as passengers not as colonists, and, should continue with what happens in the rest of their journey.

I thought those names were just chosen because they’re the least sexy names known to man. Bunty had me howling. This whole thing did.
I’m, like, 17 years late to the party here, and suddenly very nostalgic for this era of the internet.

I agree. Edgemar appearing in the earlier Rekall ad is one of the clearest signs it’s all a dream. He’s established as a real figure before Quaid goes to Rekall, yet now he’s suddenly part of a high-stakes Cohaagen psy op, willingly recruited at short notice? Why would Cohaagen go to such lengths just to get Quaid to take a pill? Why not just tranquilise him and be done with it? The whole thing makes far more sense as a fabrication inside Quaid’s mind.

There is a lot of great information about the show. Thanks to all involved in making this happen. I found this article by trying to find out how many victims were specifically found in Central Park season 1 to 20. Also curious about how that tracks vs actual victims found in Central Park during those same years.

Still can not get over the fact that they didn’t plan the script in the way it should have actually been.
Anyway, Johnny Depp has been contacted to star in the new POTC6, but we still have no official info about it.
I hope it will be the right ending of all since our Captain is now getting older.

See ya.

It’s built around a series of inconclusive votes with additional information coming to light after each vote. Personal conflicts between the jurors are just as important as the facts of the case — and we don’t really *care* about the case, we just care about the power struggle in the jury room.

The thing that’s on trial, of course, is the Catholic Church. If the cardinals give in to their baser natures and elect the asshole conservative, the church is guilty; if Benitez wins, the church is Innocent.
