Aliens Speaking English: When the crew arrives on Zakir, the natives can't speak English, because their method of speech looks to be incompatible with human speech. One of their AIs, on the other hand, is able to speak English on account of decoding transmissions from Earth.

A Form You Are Comfortable With: When Erik enters the Artifact, the Achaia communicate with him using one of his memories to provide a familiar setting. This appears to be the Achaia's standard form of communication, as they do the same to Nico and Cas in season 2.

Gaia's Lament
 Another Life (2019) / int_13a6b7ef
comment
Gaia's Lament: From what can be gleaned from the characters' conversations, sea levels on Earth have risen massively, probably as a consequence of global warming. Coastal population centers like Washington D.C. and Sankt Petersburg are mentioned to be completely flooded, and the resulting societal disruption seems to be predictably severenote about 40% of today's global population live within 100km of the coast, so a catastrophe on this scale would displace billions of people, destroy an enormous amount of economic infrastructure, and render large swathes of arable land inaccessible.

Poor Communication Kills
 Another Life (2019) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: When Niko tells the rest of the crew that she killed Ian, she manages to make it sound like she summarily executed him in private for his previous attempt at mutiny and for risking all their lives by putting the ship through a hazardous maneuver. She completely misses telling anyone that 1) Ian tried to stab her and she was acting in self defense, and 2) she did not intend to kill him, but her kick knocked him into damaged equipment which electrocuted him. Understandably this makes the crew antagonistic towards her.

In the Back
 Another Life (2019) / int_1daa7fce
comment
When Niko reveals that she has accidentally killed Ian, she doesn't include the very important detail that the reason he ended up dying was because she was defending herself against him as he was trying to stab her In the Back. Instead, she just justifies his death by vaguely referring to him as "a threat". Her ambiguous wording only manages to make it sound like she straight up executed him in cold blood, making the crew distrustful of her.

Failed a Spot Check: The lone exoplanet from Episode 2 turns out to have a moon in lethally low orbit, something William completely failed to notice due to heavy damage to the Salvare's sensor banks.

Nepotism: The only reason Sasha was appointed the Salvare's civilian government representative is because his father, the US Secretary of Defense, greased a lot of wheels to make it happen, in order to pave the way for Sasha's future presidency. This doesn't go over well with most of the crew, especially because he gets to enjoy a lot of comforts that they don't, like a private cabin for instance.

Surprisingly Happy Ending
 Another Life (2019) / int_25b4ad2f
comment
Surprisingly Happy Ending: After things seemed to be going From Bad to Worse throughout Season 2, it ends on a surprisingly triumphant and optimistic note. The Achaian threat is neutralized for good, and Earth is being positively bombarded with messages of gratitude from races they had enslaved; new ships are being constructed to go out and meet them, and Cas will be commanding one of them. Also, humanity now has access to the Achaians' technological secrets, meaning they can now build wormhole-capable ships (and presumably, though it's not outright stated, fix all Earth's environmental problems). In addition, all the surviving Salvare crew made it back to Earth, Niko has been reunited with Erik and Jana, and Zayn and Bernie are getting married.

Faster-Than-Light Travel: The Salvare can travel faster than light, originally expecting to cover the approximately 96.5 light years to the Pi Canis Majoris system in three months. Going by the visual effects, the prominent use of exotic matter and how the FTL bubble accumulates enormous amounts of energy at its front that is violently released upon return to realspace, it's all but stated to be an Alcubierre Drive of sorts.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: The planet orbiting Pi Canis Majoris isn't the Achaia homeworld everyone believed it to be. It's merely another world they conquered long ago, its native population virtually wiped out by the time the Salvare arrives.

Schizo Tech: The Salvare is a spaceship with an FTL drive, Artificial Gravity, an Artificial Intelligence and omnipresent hologram projectors, yet its crew uses hilariously bulky tablet computers that look like the technology was only recently invented. Its engine deck is also full of clunky, old-fashioned machinery no different from what you can find on contemporary seafaring vessels. As far as firearms are concerned, Ray Guns coexist peacefully with good old-fashioned FN P90 PDWs and similar ballistic slugthrowers.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The pilot has Yerxa trying to slingshot the ship around a huge star to save time on the journey. It turns out that some plans really aren't Crazy Enough to Work as the damage to the ship causes long-range consequences and proves that just maybe pulling a mutiny on your commander on a dangerous mission isn't a good idea. What happens when you take a bunch of undisciplined Mildly Military 20-somethings, some of whom have previous interpersonal history, and stick them in a high-pressure bottle light-years from home? The resulting Dysfunction Junction is at least as much a threat to the mission as any external dangers they might encounter.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Another Life (2019) / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Albeit not intentionally, William ends up being this at several points. While he is designed to be helpful and protective of the crew, several very weird and counter-intuitive choices in his programming ends up rendering him a threat to them. The most egregious examples of this include: William can initiate safety protocols without the crew or the captain's approval, would would be sensible enough in a situation where the captain or the crew is unconscious or otherwise unable to give him orders, but neither the crew nor the captain have the authority to manually override his safety protocols once he has first started them, which endangers both the ship and the crew when he malfunctions and decides to respond to a threat that actually isn't there. William can respond emotionally to situations, which is, all things considered, a very good idea, since he is supposed to interact with a human crew, and it would certainly help in such situation to come across to them as simply another human. The problem is that William doesn't simulate emotions, as one would reasonably expect; he actually feels them and cannot turn them off. This proves a terrible idea, when he falls in love with Niko, has "sex" with her (well, as close as an insubstantial hologram can get to having sex with a human) when she is high on drugs, and is rejected by her when she comes down from her trip and realizes that she was acting irrationally when she had a "tryst" with him. William responds by having an emotional breakdown over her rejection, and shuts himself down, becoming unavailable in a situation where his absence endangers the crew.

Human Popsicle: The crew of the Salvare is put into something called “somatic sleep” while the ship is traveling at FTL. It's unclear how exactly it works, but it's stated early on that it stops the sleepers' aging process.

Ambiguous Gender Identity: Zayn has an androgynous gender expression, and in season 1 is never called by any pronouns. While they're likely meant to be nonbinary, this hasn't been said onscreen yet. Zayn is portrayed by Australian nonbinary actor JayR Tinaco. Zayn is referred to by ze/zer pronouns in season 2, implying this as they're sometimes used by nonbinary people.

Impractically Fancy Outfit: Nothing but, especially among the female cast. Niko is pretty much the only person aboard the Salvare that dresses sensibly most of the time, and that's probably due to her military background. The other women including the engineers tend to dress in outfits more suited to a fancy party than work on a spaceship. Zayn is introduced wearing heeled knee-high boots while on duty.

Body Horror: Petra dies when an extraterrestrial virus pulls her nervous system out of her body through her neck. Yikes. The bloody heap then attempts to crawl off on its own before the atmosphere kills it. Michelle's death by fatal exposure to exotic matter has her developing burns, black fingernails, blood bursting from under her skin in places, and while she is giving her last words she is skeletonizing. By the time Nico finds her, she's mostly melted into a puddle of bloody goo.

Grew Beyond Their Programming: William himself points out that he's thinking and experiencing things his creators never programmed into him, and he's quite confused about being able to be confused about this. For instance, he's beginning to resent the crew going into soma because he's feeling lonely without them. He eventually falls in love with Niko, has virtual sex with her, goes through a nasty breakup of sorts, reconciles with her, and unintentionally creates an A.I. daughter that considers William her mother.

Death World: The rogue exoplanet the Salvare explores in Episode 2 looks innocuous at a glance but has a moon in such close orbit that its gravity pulls giant amounts of magma to the surface every time it passes overhead, turning the whole planet into a deathtrap at regular intervals. The extrasolar moon where the Salvare stops to resupply foodstuffs. It has spores that make people stoned, which wouldn't be all that bad, if not for the fact that the moon also has very aggressive flora, and that there's a nasty breed of space bugs around.

My Greatest Failure: Niko lost half her crew, among them her lover, on an ill-fated mission to Saturn.

Idiot Ball: There are many examples. General Dubois assigned Niko to command the mission, replacing Ian, but left Ian on board, despite his obvious and outspoken resentment at serving under his replacement. He mutinies at the first opportunity. Despite the vital importance of the mission, no one apparently bothered to do psychological evaluations of the crew, many of whom are clearly unsuitable to working in a high-stress environment. Even before the mission, the Space Agency did away with military discipline, creating a work environment where commanders can no longer rely on having their decisions implemented. The crew of the Salvare repeatedly ignore basic precautions, such as maintaining the integrity of their suits when on alien planets Ian commits mutiny in order to implement a high-risk plan. After Niko regains command, he tries it again, even though his plan proved to be a complete failure, for exactly the reason why Niko said it wouldn't work and he has no viable alternative. The crew goes along with Ian's mutiny despite his only argument being that his plan is high risk and that his willingness to take risks is supposed to make him a more suitable commander. Niko allowed Ian to walk around freely after his mutiny and while cryo-sleep wasn't functioning a simple confinement to quarters would have kept the illusion of competency. When Niko reveals that she has accidentally killed Ian, she doesn't include the very important detail that the reason he ended up dying was because she was defending herself against him as he was trying to stab her In the Back. Instead, she just justifies his death by vaguely referring to him as "a threat". Her ambiguous wording only manages to make it sound like she straight up executed him in cold blood, making the crew distrustful of her. The nearly-lethal incompetence surrounding the decision to program William with A) the ability to suffer debilitating levels of heartbreak over a one night stand and B) to give him access to hazardous safety protocols that the captain cannot override.

Cool Spaceship: The mysterious alien spaceship that kicks off the plot looks like a constantly revolving Möbius loop forged from a coppery metal. Then it touches down on a remote field, digs in and turns into an antenna that looks like a giant pile of cut diamonds. The Salvare is also pretty nifty, mostly on account of being mankind's first FTL-capable spaceship on what appears to be its maiden voyage.

Bernie almost suffers a similar fate while trying to save the ship from yet another calamity.

For what it's worth, his father actually confirms the whole thing to be a publicity stunt that will be a good stepping stone to making his son a future president.

No Gravity for You: Thanks to a stowaway space bug, Niko ends up trapped in the shuttlebay with no gravity and a fire she can't put out. Cas manages to force the door open, only to fall victim to the lack of gravity herself when she turns a fire extinguisher on without considering physics, which sends her flying into a bulkhead from the recoil. She put the fire out, at least.

Didn't Think This Through: Yerxa's plan to use the ship's FTL shield to protect the ship as it performs a slingshot around a blue giant suffers from one critical flaw. When the shield is overtaxed, it drains power from the FTL drive to compensate, and the ship is left in a decaying orbit with an inoperable FTL drive. The others lampshade how he was so sure this would work that he never even bothered considering any backup plan.

Artistic License – Medicine: The crew has to expose themselves to gamma radiation to kill an alien disease they have, which causes them physical pain and makes them go sterile in addition to getting rid of the microbes. In reality that level of exposure to gamma radiation causes horrific burns at least, plus possibly cancer and a complete breakdown of bone marrow function. (Not that it can't cause infertility, but whether you can reproduce afterwards is really going to be the least of your problems.)

The pilot has Yerxa trying to slingshot the ship around a huge star to save time on the journey. It turns out that some plans really aren't Crazy Enough to Work as the damage to the ship causes long-range consequences and proves that just maybe pulling a mutiny on your commander on a dangerous mission isn't a good idea.

Pyrrhic Victory: Killing the alien virus by exposing the infected crew to a nearby star's gamma radiation turns out to be this. Everyone will live, but everyone's now sterile and will never be able to have children. Keep in mind that with the exception of Niko, who already has a daughter, everyone aboard the Savare is in their mid-twenties, and several of these characters explicitly mentioned wanting to have lots of kids. August, however, ends up pregnant anyway, thanks to she and one among her two partners beating the odds.

The Neidermeyer: Ian Yerxa, the Executive Officer of the Salvare, was originally appointed to be the mission commander and clearly constantly resents Niko Breckenridge for accepting the job and taking over his position, posting an idea to slingshot the Salvare around an unstable sun that he believes is Crazy Enough to Work and Niko is weak for not accepting it. He leads a mutiny, the plan fails so badly that a significant chunk of the first season is spent struggling with the Trauma Conga Line that it causes (massive damage to the ship, Almost Out of Oxygen, infection with an alien virus when exploring a planet to replenish said oxygen, and the list goes on), and even if it remains fuzzy enough that Niko has a well-justified My God, What Have I Done? reaction and the people who decry her action have a Jerkass Has a Point stance, Ian still picked up a screwdriver and walked right up to Niko with all signs that he was going to stab her in the back and take over. He doesn't makes it past the first episode as a result. On top of all that, after making it clear he thinks he's the best soldier on the ship, he gets taken down by "computer boy" Javier in ten seconds.

comment
Artistic License – Chemistry: In the second episode the Salvare's oxygen storage needs replenishing. They scan nearby planets and head to one with 10% oxygen atmosphere for this. The oxygen the crew collects is in the form of crystals in the ground for unexplained reasons. This calls into question why the atmosphere matters in the first place. The composition of the planet's crust is a completely different matter. And if they have the means of extracting chemically bound oxygen from minerals, they should be able to use pretty much any space rock they come across, since mineral oxides are literally common as dirt in the universe.

Spaceship Slingshot Stunt: The first episode has the crew considering a slingshot around several stars to bypass a cloud of dark matter between them and their destination. Niko calls it off when the first blue giant on their list proves too dangerous to slingshot around, but Yerxa mutinies to do it anyway because he thinks his plan to protect the ship will work. The fallout from it failing miserably drives much of the plot for the rest of the season.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Apparently the Salvare's primary strategy in case of confirmed hostility from the aliens is to hightail it back to Earth. Justified of course by the Salvare being a nominally unarmed research and exploration vessel, not a warship. When William's declaration of love to Niko falls flat, he retreats deep into a simulated world to cope with the pain, leaving the Salvare mostly defenseless until Niko barely manages to snap him out of his funk.

Who's Your Daddy?: Once she gets pregnant, August isn't sure of who the father is, given she'd been sleeping with two men at once.

 Another Life (2019) / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: General Dubois, the leader of the Salvare mission, may be a bit rough around the edges but is a reasonable and pragmatic person. When Erik leaks classified intel on the artifact to Harper Glass, leading to some Child Prodigy cracking the problem of how to contact the artifact, Dubois does threaten to fire his ass and send him to prison for the next 50 years (justified, considering the scope of his transgression), but she still lets him continue his work because he gets results and is the most likely to succeed.

 Another Life (2019) / int_df410b77
comment
Ian Yerxa leaves the stage as a Decoy Antagonist Starscream this way, courtesy of a kick by Niko and some arc electricity from malfunctioning instrumentation. It's not lacking in Body Horror, either — the entire upper half of Yerxa's body is carbonized and Bernie says four episodes later (a few days In-Universe) that the ship still smells of burnt flesh.

What happens when you take a bunch of undisciplined Mildly Military 20-somethings, some of whom have previous interpersonal history, and stick them in a high-pressure bottle light-years from home? The resulting Dysfunction Junction is at least as much a threat to the mission as any external dangers they might encounter.

Almost Out of Oxygen
 Another Life (2019) / int_e80cdd72
comment
Almost Out of Oxygen: The second episode has the Salvare crew dealing with the very first issue after almost getting cooked by a sun: life support malfunctioning and venting a significant amount of air, leaving them with five hours to find some place to mine for resources. Sasha attempts to shut off all life support when he turns against the crew, but is foiled by multiple redundancies on each deck that are designed to prevent someone from doing exactly that, at least unless the entire crew deliberately puts their mind to it. The rogue AI Gabriel does this to the crew in season 2, knocking them all out. He notes it will take a few minutes before brain damage to set in, long enough for Iara to disable him and restore life support.

No Seat Belts
 Another Life (2019) / int_efab321d
comment
No Seatbelts: Technically, the ship does have seatbelts, but the characters often don't use them—in the first episode, they start the incredibly risky slingshot maneuver while everyone is just standing in the middle of the bridge. Additionally, while the pilot's chair has a real harness, the crash couches only have lap belts, which aren't really enough for the kind of g's a spaceship pulls.

20 Minutes into the Future: It's not yet stated when the show is set, but its technological level is mostly the same as what we had when the show was released, with some notable exceptions. Smart homes are more prevalent, space technology has taken a serious leap even without factoring in the Salvare and its FTL drive, Artificial Intelligence exists, and life-like holographic projections are in widespread use.

Easily Forgiven
 Another Life (2019) / int_f36c4f98
comment
Easily Forgiven: When she reassumes command after the attempted mutiny, Niko decides to forgive the mutineers who violently overthrew her, despite having every good reason to order them replaced and send back in stasis (which is an entirely open option; the ship is mentioned to have enough crewmembers in stasis that the mutineers could feasibly be replaced). Most egregiously, this includes Ian Yerxa, the guy who lead the mutiny, despite him staging said mutiny for entirely egoistical reasons and endangering both the ship and the crew during his brief time in charge, by causing the exact scenario Niko was attempting to prevent by refusing his plan in the first place. Ian even tells her that he wouldn't have done the same, had he been in her position, and later even tries to stab her In the Back.

Laser Sight
 Another Life (2019) / int_f9bc2937
comment
Laser Sight: Cas wields an assault rifle at one point that's decked out with three red laser sights mounted around the barrel shroud, one per Picatinny rail. It's as useless as it sounds (especially since the three beams point in wildly different directions), but seeing how the whole segment is a Shout-Out to Aliens, a triangle of red laser dots is probably meant to evoke the related Predator franchise. Also, it's All Just a Dream. The same episode shows a pistol with a single laser mounted high above the barrel on a sort of periscope. While more sensible than the triple lasers, it is still a highly impractical way to mount a laser sight.

Kiss Me, I'm Virtual: It turns out Oliver's girlfriend only exists in VR. The same episode has William hooking up with Niko for a round of hologram-assisted intimacy. Niko's still stoned out of her gourd when it happens and therefore predictably disturbed the next morning when the recollection hits her. William, however, got exactly what he wanted until Niko orders him to delete all memories of the event from his data banks.

 Another Life (2019) / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: The show takes a lot of liberties with the laws of physics as we know them, but what stands out most is the Salvare's sensor array. Being able to map a complete solar system by analyzing the dimming of its star in seconds is highly unrealistic, and being able to zoom in on a planet's surface close enough to resolve individual trees from four light-years away, in real time, is stretching the Willing Suspension of Disbelief to the breaking point.
