Love, Death & Robots: Beyond The Aquila Rift deserves an Ending Explained. It is arguably one of the best episodes of the Netflix Series and there’s a hell of a lot to unpack from it. Throughout this video I’ll be breaking down everything that you need to know about the episodes history, inspiration and overall meaning. This is full spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t had a chance to watch the episode yet then I highly recommend that you turn off now.

To me the Hive is a space spider’s web that catches off course ships and uses them for food, supplying them with vivid fantasies to keep them complacent. Thom is doomed and the episode ends with him waking up from his tank once more as he is greeted by the apparent rescue of Greta. Those who have hope for the character and think that this may have just been a bad dream are quickly shown flashes of the Hive to cement that Thom is definitely doomed and still trapped in the horrifying location, forced to live out this nightmare until he inevitably dies. What’s most distressing is that Thom only really has two options, he can either accept the simulated world and live there until he dies or continue rejecting it and relive the same trauma. It appears that the spider slowly does this to it’s victims one by one which is why Suzy, who appears dead at the end, earlier in the episode, already knew that Greta wasn’t real. Clearly she had been through the process before Thom and this is why she woke up ill in the initial awakening. Whilst The Spider isn’t necessarily a villain, it’s pretty obvious she is keeping the crew subdued in order to feast on them easier. The spider states that she has been through this countless times with many lost souls and that she does care for them so perhaps she implements these simulations in order to ease their passing. In the end the Spider will no doubt go through this process countless more times as, when Thom sees the truth, there are a number of other ships stuck in the net. Clearly Arkangel has sent a large quantities of travellers there and whether this is on purpose or not, it doesn’t seem like it will stop any time soon. It took the Blue Goose hundreds of years to arrive there despite it only being a couple of months for those on board so it’s safe to assume that the other ships we see travelling through the transport at the start may have been there for hundreds of year before Thom and the Crew’s arrival. In that time millions of ships may have travelled through Arkangel successfully so The Blue Goose may just be viewed as a statistic similar to ships that go missing amongst the ones that don’t. Beyond The Aquila Rift The 16 minute short is set in the far distant future when humans have created technology that is advanced enough to slingshot us across the universe. We follow the crew of The Blue Goose who set out on a journey across the stars on their way to a high profile job. However, they awaken months later to find themselves vastly of course and in near uncharted areas of space after a mistake by their course controller, Arkangel. However, not all seems lost, when the Captain of the ship Thom reunites with a lost love from his past named Greta who appears to have rescued the marooned ship and brought it into a safe space
