In anticipation of Dr. Chandra reactivating everyone's favorite psychotic processing unit, we're reevaluating the story so far. Since we last saw HAL, we've read more Clarke, researched more on '2001' and '2010,' talked to more guests, and, of course, we've gotten to know SAL.
What we've learned has dramatically changed our perspective on his intentions onboard Discovery, his circumstances with Dave & Frank, and his eventual destiny.
We compare HAL's personality and key motivations between the script and the final film. And we're left scratching our heads at the three card monte that is the Discovery pod bay. But fear not: the "Making of '2001'" XL Taschen book has arrived! And with it new clues!
The Mystery of the Blue Suit thickens, but the Mystery of the Color-Changing Helmet may be solved! Follow along with the pictures and have a look. What do you think? (Join Patreon to catch up.)
