History NightmareFuel / FinalSpace

** After Invictus is freed, the first thing he does is imprison the Lord Commander. While the latter totally [[KickTheSonOfABitch had it coming]], what Invictus ''says'' to Lord Commander is still chilling:

* The [[https://twitter.com/FinalSpace/status/1317159392932818946/photo/1 teaser poster for Season 3]] is '''fucking''' '''''horrifying.''''' It looks more like something out of a horror film than the whimsical sci-fi/comedy fans know and love. Just one look at it and you can already tell that Season 3 [[DarkerAndEdgier will be the darkest season yet.]]

** The Lord Commander gets shot at by Gary, but rather than killing him, the black gunk making up his archenemy's body reassembled itself in grotesque fashion.

** Quinn’s mom literally locking her in the Infinity Guard morgue just to make a point of how heavy the weight is of dealing with people’s lives and to hammer how horrific that is. [[HarmfulToMinors She was a little girl at the time...]] Suddenly, a lot of Quinn personality in season 1 makes more sense.

** In order to cure Quinn, a cybernetic implant has to be installed in her brain via a surgical drill. Due to the possibility of drugs killing her in her weakened state, ''she needs to be conscious and able to feel everything while it's being installed''. Gary offers to take the pain of the surgery by having the pain receptors of his brain fused with hers. It comes very close to killing him.

*** Worse, some of the Zombie Garys are wearing the ''Galaxy One'' prisoner uniform, and some don't have robotic arms. This means they died before Gary's prison sentence was up, and some died before meeting the Lord Commander and losing his arm, which happened in the ''second episode''. Even if a Gary died outside of Final Space, their bodies still ended up there, and they were ripped from death to serve Invictus without any knowledge of what was happening or why.
*** To end up in Final Space if they died outside of it, that would mean that Invictus successfully entered their universe. No matter how each Gary died, their efforts to protect what they loved was in vain.
*** Either their universes got absorbed into Final Space as a result of the opened breach, meaning all life in that universe was doomed now matter where they ran or hid, or Invictus physically took each Garys' corpse into Final Space, meaning it hates him so much that it resurrects and enslaves him even if he dies without ever knowing it existed.

** The Lord Commander successfully merges with the Titan within the Earth's crust becoming a hideous, gargantuan version of himself. The SlasherSmile he has, with a mouth that looks partially melted ''really'' doesn't help.

** Remember all those Earths that got pulled into Final Space? And remember how each planet contains the fetus of a Titan inside? Well, that's how Invictus has been growing its army.
** If the Zombie Gary they spoke to is anything to go by, all of the Zombie Garys still have their memories and personality, even after dying and being Invictus' puppets for who knows how long. It isn't clear if they have any awareness, [[BarredFromTheAfterlife but they're still there, not allowed to move on and be with their loved ones in the afterlife]], assuming Invictus didn't consume them as well.
*** Some of them died outside of Final Space, but Invictus could still bring them back. So Invictus is powerful enough to rip people from the afterlife to be it's slaves no matter how or when they died.

** And let's not forget that all timelines flow into Final Space. In other words, ''[[FromBadToWorse an instance of Invictus may have escaped into every conceivable reality.]]'' Unless the Team Squad somehow manages to find a way to stop Invictus, the odds of all life surviving are slim. And with the conformation that the show has been cancelled, chances are they ''won't''.
*** Since plenty of the Zombie Garys clearly died way earlier in their timeline (some still have their prison uniform, and some don't even have a robot arm), for them to end up in Final Space means that Invictus had to have invaded their universe. Invictus wasn't just attacking this universe, it was attacking ''all of them'', and apparently it succeeded every single time. The Team Squad just lost their entire world, but to Invictus, it just gained a little more territory.

* The battle to close the breach results in ''[[TotalPartyKill everyone]]'' on both sides getting wiped out. Lord Commander's forces get decimated by HUE detonating his Lightfold Engine in a terrifyingly huge blast, and what's left of them is still enough to rip apart the resistance and the ''Galaxy one''. The heroes only 'win' because they succeeded in closing the breach, but they lost the Earth, all their allies, and each other. The worst part is that it wasn't a CurbstompBattle, they weren't a RedshirtArmy, and there was no LeeroyJenkins that messed anything up; the armies just wiped each other out.

* Hearing about the Earth at risk of getting sucked into a breach in space and time is one thing. Actually seeing the absolute devastation as the ocean is pulled away, magma spills from the core, and the broken ruins of human civilization drift away into space is [[ApocalypseWow both incredible and terrifying]].

** Final Space poisoning is revealed to be the result of space-time ''itself'' stagnating when the dimension was sealed off from the rest of the universe. While some lifeforms developed ways to survive and build small civilizations, most organic life is poisoned just by being in Final Space. So even if you survive the rampaging Titans, reanimated corpse armies, other blood-thirsty survivors, and even Invictus itself, just existing inside Final Space absolutely ''will'' kill you if you don't find a solution.

** All the dead Garys are revealed to be from alternate timelines and were destined to die in Final Space. When the ''Crimson Light'' arrives in Final Space, Invictus turns them all into zombies and unleashes them on the team.

** Earlier in the episode, the crew is flying away from Invictus as fast as possible after saving Quinn. Sheryl asks Gary if Invictus is still after them. That question is answered with this line:
