The Strain died as it lived, with a stupid plot that made no sense at all.

your vision of parenting and families is very 1800s, buddy.

I seriously doubt that every single person in a new colony is expected to reproduce. They’re not saving the human race from extinction, they’re establishing a colony. A colony usually means that more people are expected to show up after it’s established. Perhaps they’re experts for some needed engineering or…

Genetic diversity... Just because they are gay does not mean they cannot donate to the cause. History tells us that long, long ago women in tribes took multiple male partners to ensure the survival of the species through diversity. The gay couple may be the best in their fields and were needed on the mission. They in…

It’s a good thing even real-life science has discovered ways to help couples reproduce that don’t involve sex. Let alone a society that has developed interstellar space travel.

In that spirit- why bother sending any men at all? If they can freeze people, they can freeze semen, and every man is one less womb for the future.

I don’t think it’s that kind of colony. There aren’t enough people there to create a genetically viable population of successive generations. I think it’s a colony in the sense of “get human beings established on this planet and lay the groundwork for more later.” I mean, sure, these people will stay and live there…

Um, perhaps they are skilled engineers and scientists that the mission could not do without? Plus I doubt they are colonising a planet with a crew of 10 people.

Id like people to really think through their observations on how movies think things through, and not just go with a knee jerk reaction, gay people! WHY?!!.

Wouldn’t a crew of all women carrying frozen sperm be the most optimal? I fail to see your objection to the diversity in that scene.
