Headscratchers / Jason X

As a Headscratchers subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • Who designs a space station which can be easily destroyed with one crashing ship?
    • Who designs a building that will get destroyed if a plane hits it at full speed? It's not cost effective to design things that will survive the most extreme and unlikely situations.
  • Does any media explain, aside from Lowe’s explanation, exactly how Earth One became uninhabitable?
  • So, Rowan explains that they tried to execute Jason many times over and nothing stuck, but as Kay-Em had shown, blowing him to bits would have worked, if not for the Nanomachines bringing him back, did they not try that? Because Rowan would have pointed it out if they had when Kay-Em did it.
    • They tried already in the last movie. He just turned into a demon worm and possessed people.
  • Why did nobody ever investigate or go looking for Rowan and Jason after they were frozen? They were contained in a government facility, so someone had to have known it existed and taken notice of the lack of contact from there after everyone was killed or frozen alive. So, why did it take almost five centuries for someone to find it?
    • Well Jason at least was frozen, not harming anyone better to not poke the sleeping bear and potentially wake him up and presumably records where lost/forgotten over the centuries so when the new team came to explore they had no idea what they were walking into.

  • Jason is wanted for his "regenerative properties" - but they already have nanotechnology that can heal anyone instantly of any wound. Even Jason himself. Guh?
    • He was wanted for his regenerative properties by people in the 2011, not by the people in 2455. He was revived in the future because of his potential value as a nearly 450-year-old living relic.
    • Replicating his instantaneous healing factor could still be useful, since you wouldn't always have access to the nanotechnology.
    • And the starship explosion. The remaining crew decide to explode the walkways leading to the section where Jason is, so he will be forever floating in the vacuum of space. So they do. And it works...mostly. Jason is now apparently Made of Indestructium due to the nanobots...and can also move freely around space, because he comes right back about a minute later, punches a hole in the spaceship hull and causes Jenessa's Explosive Decompression.

  • How in the world did Brodski circle around to tackle Jason X from a 90 degree angle?
