Yet instead it chose to follow the most basic of tropes, the most overused of plots, and even then could not execute them with any consistency. This is exemplified perfectly when the confrontation in Roy’s quarters happens and D’Brenin is actually catatonic in fear, curled against the wall while Rowan is casually leaning against an armoire admonishing him ‘It’s just a hologram, Karl.’ This is not horror, this is one man being manipulated by an AI. This is a useful crutch, because it has several effects.
Is there someone else? The original untouched probe was …
Whether it’s the writers and set design not understanding how gravity works in space to not understanding that space is a vacuum to simply just not understanding how to make a viable starship, this show is masquerading as science fiction but the mask is made of elmer's glue and pipe cleaners. It cannot die in a star, because that is not what happened. Now she has dementia. You have to suspend your disbelief with steel cables and concrete pylons. It was just a drama on a spaceship. From that point on, the Karl probe existed for a long time. What do other people think about that, those that can’t? He really wanted to be human. Star Wars isn’t scifi. My own personal "why the fuck" came in the opening scene. Then you wait until you swing out there, then burn prograde again to bring your periapsis (the point in your orbit when you're at the closest point to the body you're orbiting) up to the same altitude. The primary issue with Nightflyers is that it did not deliver on any of that. Time and again it flirts with ideas similar to these, but we never even make it to first base.
Sense of personhood? Keep that in mind if you’ve seen the latter, as there are some parts of Martin’s novella which which may seem familiar (or even clichéd) if you’re coming to Nightflyers for the first time. Yet from the beginning it is hard to feel stakes or any real horror. It’s almost like his own personal ‘horror’ while everyone else is fine. Maybe he found a wormhole. Gene technology has tripled the human lifespan. Yeah, those were the cannibal girl scouts. The parts that were salvaged were eventually hooked up to the memory sphere by Karl. It's possible he gained some control over the probe's sensors and propulsion and found a way to fling himself back in space and time to return to the Nightflyer. There needs to be suspense and anticipation and expectation of danger – D’Brenin is simply haunted by his past being weird. The setting alone doesn’t dictate the genre. Nightflyers was advertised as a psychological thriller, with trailers spinning implications of incomprehensible manifestations and hauntings, of a ship and crew torn apart and tormented by things they cannot grasp.

It's the first thing I noticed about this show, way back at the start of episode 1. It’s like they realized they didn’t make a horror show, but wanted to advertise as one so recut as carefully as they could for the trailer. I guess they tried to up the spook factor with Cynthia’s father, but instead of being an eerie, unknowable figure, they waste the opportunity by clearly showing up repeatedly, including his scratchy face. Science fiction tries to create a realistic and believable (and realistic does not mean ‘accurate to reality’, but realistic in that it is a working, breathing setting that feels as if it could exist) setting that has rules and laws that govern the technology within it.
He became intertwined with the probe's machinery and its sensors, but imprisoned in a computerized afterlife where nothing was real and nothing he did mattered -- Hell instead of paradise. The Nightflyer almost falling into the atmosphere because they started their engines and then the engines shut off is only really possible if those absolute madlads decided 'hey, let's burn retrograde, cancel out 17,000 mph of velocity, and then accelerate back up to orbital speed so we don't fall into the planet! A lot of potential. Every episode was a new idea thrown into the barrel of ideas and plothooks never satisfactorily concluded. The show started out…not strong, but focused. Like, you can't get any simpler than this. It was all that was left of the Karl probe's ability to create his computerized afterlife. Cthulhu stirs. Cynthia Eris cheated death to become an AI on board her own star ship. Well, nothing. Come on people, exercise your brains! The Volcryn could not bring back his daughter or make the Earth stable again. We know this happens because the probe contains immortalized tissue that matches Karl's DNA.

What does it do to your own psyche? She got old.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that still bugs me. When they engage the engines and Cynthia makes them poop out...they immediately start falling into the atmosphere. I'll have a look again. That is what I referred to as the untouched probe. Did he or didn’t he cause these things to happen or influence people? Maybe he forgot who he was when the probe's storage had to be rewritten again and again. Not to mention knowing this is inside the head of a damaged woman-AI, it loses even more potential for fear or uncertainty. Trailers must always be taken with a grain of salt, sure, but they also prime the audience and set expectations before you experience the show or film. This virtual world theme was hinted at when Lommie created her own idealized family within the crystal core. This initial probe the Nightflyer sent toward the Volcryn was unaccounted for.
If the father was kept as a distant, shadowy figure with distorted shouts and words, shown only in glimpses as he left a room it could have had more impact. Each one conjured up in isolation, and then attached to the flimsy main story line with duct tape.
Created by Jeff Buhler. It is like mental asylum where not only patients are crazy ( and not in very interesting way ) but the administration too. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. It’s dead.
