Questions for Discussion

What is one way that watching this show changed you?
Newton says, “We have to create the next version of our species to survive.” Justin responds, "If this is the end for us, then we end as we are. It's taken us forever to become who we are.” What do you think of her response?
Was Faraday’s action toward Newton a kind of redemption?
Why do you think the writers played with the archetype of Christ in this series?
At the series’ beginning we asked, “What was Faraday looking for? What did he find?" How would you answer now?
Josiah says, “I believe in God, and in gravity, and I’m afraid of them both.” How does this speak to you about what believing means?
At the end, what did Faraday and Justin see in each other?
If you could write the next chapter in the series, what would you say?
