In Beyond eh Aquila Rift the alien isn't actually evil. In the short story it's based off, the alien is trapped there and when new ships arrive, she puts them into a virtual reality showing them a better life so that they die peacefully rather than in the horror of being lost alone in space. She's more of a nurse helping people to the other side since there's no escape form the station. That's why she says, "I care for all the souls that end up here", because she's taken it upon herself to look after all the people that end up dying there. The two other members of the crew actually died from their stasis tanks, if you look at the details on the tanks, they're both painted with custom designs. In the original story, the paint ages and peels off, choking the air filters they use to breathe in the tanks, suffocating them in their sleep, Thom doesn't have his painted which is why he survives for much longer. The alien tell;s Thom about how there are these warp gate's across the galaxy in clusters, and that she was sent to the station hundreds of years ago as well and that Thom and his crew are (if i remember right) the first humans she has encountered.

Haven't made it there in his review yet. Unlikely to finish video due to it just being summaries. But, I could understand mistaking the entity as evil in the episode version.

I don't think they actually watch the episode to be honest. It was pretty clear the alien wasn't evil but in fact good. She was clearly caring for them and stated it. The only reason she hid that from them is like you said it was too horrifying. So once he freaked out she put him back in it. There was no food and she was keeping them in a stasis pod alive as long as possible.

[@vazak11]

This was fun, but Greta wasn't evil, ships keep crashing into her home and she tries to protect and comfort those who end up there as best she can, there's no feeding going on here, she just can't do anything more for them than she does.

[@someguy4384]

Yeah, that's wbat I gathered. I it was either her home from the beginning, or somewhere she was also sent to and, using the apparently powerful psychic abilities of her people, simply helped people cope with their inevitable deaths by giving them a happy ending. Misguided, but not malicious. Though it would make sense that she feeds off their energy or something as well. Sort of a give and take. She drains them of their life force to kill them faster, end their suffering, but she doesn't do it like an animal or an evil creature would.

Your interpretation of Beyond the Aquila Rift is actually wrong. The creature does not “trap” these ships and feed off of these people. The hyperspace drives that they pass through are ancient technology of which no one knows the origin(kinda like mass effect), and randomly they will “glitch out” causing the ships that pass through it to end up in these aliens territory. This alien is actually hyper-benevolent and cares deeply for the creatures that get stuck there, and with no way to send them back to where they came from, she alters their consciousness to give them the illusion of something bearable to them to keep them happy for the rest of their lives. However, the mind control rarely works, and the humans usually eventually find out, but she keeps trying non-the-less. The reason I know this, is because it’s based off of a short story.

[@hosenOne1]

thats what i originally thought.. but there are other spiderlike creatures on those astroids.. u can see some claws/hands on the top right when it shows the ship being stuck in web. i think they're ancient creatures who do feed off of the dead ones but she fell in love with tom and therefore kept him alive as much as possible. but since he is human he will eventually die so keeps him in state of blissful ignorance of the reality

YALL NOT UNDERSTANDING THE SIMBOLIZM

[@michaelcrossing4247]

I'd like to clear a few things on the amazing story of "Beyond the Aquila Rift". You can learn a ton of background information from the short story it was based of: 1) Humanity uses apertures that utilize a type of jump gate technology that was left behind by an unknown, ancient and highly advanced civilization. At some point eons ago the jump network collapsed, but a few immeasurably far apertures still work. Thus, the occasional glitch or system error can send a ship across the galaxy with no way back. 2) "Greta" the alien is not evil or predatory but actually benevolent. "She" along with her people were the first to get stranded there, and because of luck their ship was well fitted enough to turn a close by rock into a habitable place. To fight misery (and have a reason to keep living) they decided to take care of the lost souls that ended up there too. They use the supplies of the stranded ships to survive and make the life of the other castaways easier. Greta is essentially a hive queen and has a multitude of little drone-helpers (their appearance is hinted in the episode when we see real Thom exiting the surge tank from a top view). 3) Even though Greta feeds the castaways a data dream, respecting their freedom she always ease them slowly into the truth. She refuses waking the castaways though, even if they ask it. She states that she has done this "a million times", and when people find out the truth they go insane. Thom insists of course (but non-violently) and Greta wakes him. There is no screaming on Thom's part in the story because he only sees a tiny flash, a glimpse, implying that going back to the dream was either Thom's own choice or Greta's mercy. 4) The reason Thom is almost skeletal in appearance is because he is malnourished. Not to mention that he is barely able to breathe the local atmosphere. He describes the pain as if his veins are filled with powdered glass. 5) If you notice Suzy's surge tank, she has decorated it with stars. She paid a huge amount of money on them, because she hated the sterile corporate look. Her rebellious act is forbidden because it messes with the filters of the surge tank. A minor risk for small journeys, but fatal for such an unprecedented jump sealing her fate the moment she went to sleep. 6) In the episode the main color of the scenes change to imply mood and "reality". Its cold and blue in the dream, and feverish red and rusty in reality. Funny thing is that it aligns with the original story were the station actually orbits a brown dwarf. I might be missing one or ten things, but this it guys and gals. Edit: 500 likes?! Thank you! May you all have love, happiness and robots in your lives! ;)

[@ccherry2]

Thank you. Definitive explanation!

[@BrokenSaintX]

Good explanation but I have a question: Why did Suzy flip out when she was awoken? If she was dead in real life and this version of Suzy was part of a dream / telepathic simulation fed by "Greta" then why would she try to blow her own cover by having Suzy attack her like that? I didnt understand that part. Unless Suzy was alive just like Thom and they were both sharing the same dream? I dunno.

[@ccherry2]

@@BrokenSaintX I'm thinking Suzy is Thom's subconscious thought in the dream. Thom has already become suspicious after noting Greta's cut had 'healed.' The cut was a detail that Spider Greta overlooked in construction of the dream. Suzy, as Thom's subconscious thought, fights to make him become aware of his reality, which Spider Greta hesitantly reveals. That's what makes sense to me

[@michaelcrossing4247]

@@BrokenSaintX The original story has a completely different scene that leads to the climactic revelation. They actually have the conversation over a glass of wine. When the adaptation of the episode was made, my guess is that the screenwriter had to change the pacing to make the story more engaging for the visual medium. Thus, what Charles W. Cherry II said is a brilliant interpretation, that couldn't be analyzed in a better way.

[@adamluther5836]

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't agree at all with the idea that "Greta" was predatory, at least not at all intentionally. You get the idea that Thom is malnourished and possibly close to death, but the fact he is still somehow alive suggests he has been kept alive, rather than fed upon. Ultimately, felt really bad for "Greta", to do so much to keep people alive and happy, only to never be able to reveal anything real.

Maybe they don't like him for going completely rogue on a military operation, and for willfully not disclosing information (the enemy's identity) to feed into his hero complex of having to go it alone (and expecting a hero's welcome after). I'd distrust him too. Not for being different, but for clearly only caring about his own agenda and not considering HIMSELF to be part of the unit. If this is about racism, HE HIMSELF is the racist, thinking himself and his views on the matter more important than his brothers in arms who's opinions he doesn't even consult, he decides for them. He just sneaks off for a vendetta. Both of these things are grounds for court martial, and with good reason. What? They should be grateful that a. he lies to a superior officer about the identification of a target? b. abandons his post for a vendetta? c. does not consider them worthy to stand beside him, or atleast behind him in this fight? d. does not even consider them worthy of deciding this for themselves? I would not trust this loose cannon at my back in combat. You don't need heroes, you need a unit you can count on. Before he "saved them all" (out of sheer dumb luck), he ABANDONED them.

The interpretation of Beyond the Aquila Rift seems completly off. I dont think the alien spider was evil or selfish. I think she did care for Thom (and all the other people that stranded there), but she also knew that he was going to die there, so she tried to ease the pain of the truth with the dreams/simulations. I do think she spoke truthfully. There was no way of sending them back and there was no way they wouldnt go crazy from reality, thus she gave them dreams, trying to find ways to explain what happened and where Thom is, so that he may not go crazy when she does wake him up. I think the alien spider is using trial and error to archieve that (and pleasure is probably a solution that worked best to connect with Thom, thats why the dream includes a past love interest and sex). By removing the memories of the past dreams, she can try again over and over, which seems cruel, but is the only choice in her capabilities. Sure, it seems malicious, but when digging deeper I dont think it is. It is a dilemma. There is no solution. It is just sad, yet beautiful, that the alien spider has enough empathy to try to ease the pain and make the best out of the situation. Thats what I got out of it. Maybe, a few dozen years in the future and more knowledged gained, the spider might be able to gain enough knowledge from stranded people to help them better or even send them back.

It's kinda hard to interpret the ending for me. I think perhaps it's an analogy, and it's not considered either good or evil.

[@teknicron1080]

If I may, the species she looks like is arachnoid, and most humans have an innate fear of spiders. Who's to say she didn't try to greet them when they became stranded, and they went nearly insane with fear in the first encounter? She did mention "Lost one's," so she's probably been trapped there too, and is just trying to stay sane as well. Let's try to turn it around . . . it's like you're lost, and you find an old and creepy house . . . do you spend the night and rest, or do you press on, not knowing if you're going to find assistance? It's almost a no win situation . . . we're a fearful species by nature.

[@deeya]

In the short story this was based off, 'Greta' mentions of others that arrived before Thom, who couldn't deal with the reality of their situation, and there was lots of "anger and suicides". The story also went deeper to explain the Space Gateway tech they were using, which was essentially the Mass Effect story: ancient alien lost tech appropriated by humans. Only Greta mentions that the gateways were faulty due to eons of neglect. She was among the first to suffer the effects of the faulty gateway system, having arrived centuries before Thom and understanding the horrors of her fate, she resolved to help the incoming stranded. You have to remove the arachnophobic aspect of the whole thing - she's just a alien that looks like a spider (to other aliens she's normal) - and focus on the uniting horror for everyone stranded there (human or alien spider kind shares this fear) = utter lost and isolation. She had no reason to comply with Thom and break the simulation, if she had ulterior motives. Even if you're being deceptive, you never reveal the nature of your deception.

[@justintime6242]

D33Y4 What makes you think she broke the connection? It slipped in and out after Thom saw through the illusion. The creature only showed him because it knows there’s no way out.

I'd suggest that in Beyond the Aquila Rift the spider-like species might actually be pretty nice. It may totally be true that the hyper gate has a glitch that sends ships to exactly that far away location or it might even be another dimension. The spiders reveal themselves on demand by Thom after all. He cannot stand it and it may be they delete his memories to heal the insanity from the total shock of seeing those (to the human eye) ugly and horrendous creatures. It is hinted at that the reveal has happened to many trapped humans and noone being able to stand the strangeness of that reality even after many tries. It may also be that there is nothing to feed the humans and they slowly starve to death anyway. If the spider species are evil why would they delete the memories instead of enjoing the total terror of the humans once they see their new reality.

[@dertlash]

I love the first episode the Aquila rift because it shows one of my favorite topics, on humans and Isolation. He movie from Studio Ghibli,m “The Red Tirtle also illustrates this point. Say you’re stranded on a desert island. Would you escape or stay. No matter the option say you can’t leave if you built a raft you’d never survive for god knows how long our there. Or rather you escape on the raft and as the waves carry you away you see another person standing on the island, stranded just like you. But now you can’t go back. Would you have stayed happily on the island knowing you’d at least have a friend. Sadly that 2nd option doesn’t usually happen, you’d both just decide to escape. So it’s option one, stranded on the island no way of escape, you’d enjoy having a friend. Tom Hanks had Wilson. In the Red Turtle, the turtle turns into a lady and spends the next 50 or so years with the old man well into old age living with him. Until he passes peacefully. And in Aquila’s rift, it’s the same thing, only a scary looking spider alien is helping lost voyagers who have no way of returning to the life they knew so she gives them the next best thing. Favorite episode, because of the message. Humans want and need companionship

[@DoubleATrain]

If you want a deeper story I highly recommend the audiobook of the same name. Its on youtube for free. It gives a more in depth approach to the “monster” and how its actually an alien that happened upon the asteroid field through the use of a port-key alien technology, just as Thom and his crew did. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Since my brain would also not accept the horrible reality that Thom was subjected to, and recognizing the name of the author (I have a few of his books) I instantly went and got "Zima blue and other stories"...

Well, I just binge-watched "Love, Death, and Robots", here are my thoughts on each episode: Sonnie's Edge: This really should have been its own series. It was too awesome for just one episode. Three Robots: Pretty amusing, honestly the ending made it darkly hilarious. The Witness: Well THAT was unnervingly trippy... Suits: Someone's been watching Aliens... and was inspired by the best parts of it. Sucker of Souls: A great survival horror short, kind of wish we got little more detail on some of the characters and their location. When the Yogurt Took Over: ...the fuck did I just watch?? Beyond the Aquila Rift: It's like Coraline and The Matrix had a satanic love child. Good Hunting: Beautifully animated with very likable characters. Once again, this should have been its own series. The Dump: Pretty bizarre but entertaining enough. Shape-Shifters: Must... Resist... urge... to make... Team Jacob joke! Helping Hand: Similar to Gravity, yet shorter and much more entertaining. Fish Night: This feels like a missing Fantasia short-HOLY SHIT A GHOST SHARK!! Lucky 13: How is it that I felt more for the ship than the human characters? Zima Blue: There isn't a word for how I feel towards this... and I'm okay with that. Blind Spot: Mad Max but with cyborgs. Once again, I'm perfectly okay with this becoming its own series. Ice Age: The main characters are way too nonchalant about what's happening. Alternate Histories: I will never get tired of watching Hitler die.

I think your interpretation of "Beyond the Aquila Rift" is wrong and "Greta" does want to help the astronauts that where unfortunate enough to get trapped in her hive. The gate tech looks alien which makes it likely that it was a flaw in a system the humans do not completely understand. Also "Greta" does not feed on the corpses since they look heavily decomposed. At the end I think Thom did not lose his memories but chose to ignore the revelation to make his inevitable death at least pleasurable.

[@dustinp120]

Zima blue has left me in a bit of an existential crysis. I worked in a cosmetic factory starting at the age of 12, most of my time was spent screwing on bottle caps stacking pallets and mopping floors. I spent 12 hours of my 13th birthday stacking boxes on pallets. By 16 I was running an assembly line. By 18 I was responsible for setting up and fixing the machines and at 22 I was production manager with approximately 30-50 employees under me. In 2 years the company saw roughly a 1200% increase in business and it almost destroyed the company because we didn't have the foundation/man power to build upon. A year later I was replaced by not one but 3 people with various colledge degrees. I always felt like I failed a bit, but it took 3 people to successfully do the job i was trying to. I was working 90-100 hours a week. 16 hour days were a norm. I was sick and miserable but making very good money for my position. Now struggling to get by with little education and limited work experience and a child and wife to feed I cant even begin to explain how much I miss the simplistic monotony of screwing on bottle caps. Far more joy can be found in the simple things than the stress of trying to live up to unachievable greatness and expectations. I'm a reasonably smart person mostly from reading and self education but without a piece of paper to certify that most employers could care less. This story of Zima Blue gives me the strongest feeling of self examination I've ever had other than maybe Nietzsche or Platos allegory of the cave. Enjoy the simple things, you may not know how important they are till they're gone.

14:25 In space you don't freeze in seconds or even hours less so if the sun is hitting you. The main way we lose heat is by transferring it to the matter around us if there is no matter the only way to cooldown is by radiating it into space but this is extremely slow. This is why you lose heat faster in water than air, the particles are packed closer together and transmit heat more easily. She should/could have opened up her glove slightly or even a tube or tear and let a small leak of oxygen slowly drain from her suit and direct it so that it pushes her toward her ship at enough speed so that she doesn't hit it to hard and only letting more air leak out to correct course or possibly slow down.

[@orkaorkan6640]

This is how I interpreted things. You didnt really explain the meaning of the episodes. For example, the episode with killing hitler, shows that war is inevitable (Even the scenario with the rats as population has a war shortly after!). Episode 3, the one with the three robots, is pretty indicative of what would happen to our world if mankind continues to live like this. Because of the ignored climate changes for instance we would slowly kill our own planet. Some episodes (like lucky 13, beyond the aquila rift, when the yoghurt took over) have advanced technology as its center theme. It shows that A.I. will be our downfall. Like stephen hawking said: “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race….It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete and would be superseded.” Also the arachnid from ‘beyond the aquila rift’ was not a evil creature. It is rather empathetic. It doesn’t consume or feed on the living. Instead, it projects a pleasant illusion inside the minds of survivors. The creature does this to ensure that the survivors can last their lives out peacefully until their bodies wither and die. Anyway, I really enjoyed the series and hope to see some more of this kind of work!

[@InfamousInvestments]

I thought he was just stranded on an alien space station that's totally uninhabitable for humans and that the creature living there genuinly cared about him and felt regret that it couldn't help him to get back home. Out of curiosity I looked up the short story the episode is based on and it seems like the "Greta" creature and her people were the first ones stranded there and had enough resources to set up a sustainable station that kinda resembles an insect hive. Over time many creatures have landed there and she has taken care of all of them... so it seem like the creature is actually benevolent? Of course that could all be a lie she feeds him, but if she just intended to eat him or feed on his mind it wouldn't really make sense for her to show him even glimpses of the truth. Tbh I find the explanation of an alien insect queen that watches over her mismatched multicultural hive more interesting than predatory space spider that eats everyone.

[@treacherousjslither6920]

She feeds on the dreaming mind. A pleasurable dream results in a pleasurable meal.

[@davidcopperfield2278]

he just woke up after he asked her and she agreed. statistically this means that he woke up because she let him and not random or because he wanted to. also, she clearly prepared him for the fear, saying she already did woke others up and they didn't make it mentally. once again, statistically, a simulation if it wants you to sleep, has no need to do this. i guess the message is things are not they look like. most of us have fear of spiders, especially when they are 10 feet big and look alien. but let's be honest = no signs have been shown that these creatures are aggressive with the survivors. they didn't even have carnivore teeth. it's just the way they look. remember the lightening effect, just before the big spider shows up, you think its a chick `? that was clearly done on purpose, to demonstrate you your own inner changes, that happens, as soon as you discover that it's not a chick. this episode shows you = you judge upon superficial criterium. you all have prejudices. would the guy have preferred to stay awaken ? or would he have "asked" her to bring him back to that dream ? what would their conversation or relationship be in the dream, after he found out about her ? would he ask her to bring him back to reality from times to time, switching between difficult to swallow truth and pleasant dream? isn't that what we all do with our lives ? I repeat = no sign of aggression or non friendlyness has been shown, coming from those creatures. the people lying around might all be in their own dreams, their weight loss might be due to long period starvation and luck of human food with which they could ve been fed by the creatures. the guys whole reasoning was based on his prejudices, to spiders and unknown worlds in particular notice how while all going good, enjoying the wine and sex, he constantly remains unhappy and seeks truth this is what we all do when life is good, we are bored and seek the unpleasant truth when we find it and it doesnt fit our expectations, we turn mad

[@mainlyglitches]

I also believe that the spider was good. I think the ship did go off course and ended up at the hive by mistake. She then placed the survivors into the simulation so that they could not realize that they are no longer able to leave (as ship is no longer functional) and surrounded by spider monsters. Having that realisation would be horrible and frightening. As they where probably going to die anyway the spiders probably decided it would be better to live and die in a fake world which you can find happiness instead of learning the horrific reality. I also believe that only 2 of the 3 survivors had survived the spaceship crash (MC and girl) and they had been placed in the same simulation, but the other guy died which was why they had been told to not awakened him. (As he died in crash). The girl was probably taken out of the simulation (for whatever reason) and had learned of the spiders which is why she attacked. Lastly the spider did seem sad when the MC was taken out of the simulation. So when he seen reality and could not accept it, the spiders decided to erase all memory of the event and place MC back in.

I think about "Zima Blue" all the time. After he becomes sentient, his entire development as an artist and as a being is based around representing his most basic experience in increasingly complex ways. To me that is a very profound reflection on both the nature of consciousness and growth, as well as the purpose of art. No matter how ambitious and grandiose his projects became, he was always striving to return to his most basic state. The more sophisticated and important he became, the further he strayed from his origin, and the more he longed to experience the simplicity of "Zima Blue."

Good Hunting - Ahh revenge is sweet. The way the characters moved on screen was glorious. I really liked the contrast of the Victorian / Jules Verne / Steampunk city against the historical village and the way that the young couple metered out revenge of the imperialist POMEs :) The Secret War: Horror is not my favourite movie genre, but this was straight out of Lovecraft and was drawn immaculately.
