I hope we get a season two so that (spoilered for the 2 people who have not finished the first season yet):
1. What did Maureen have to pay or trade to get Will on the ship?
2. Did the "robot" ship that Humans got the drive from crash or did we shoot it down?
Those are a couple of things I was wondering, as well.
Especially #1. She clearly has knowledge of the project beyond what most other people do, so did she trade some secrets regarding the engine to a foreign government, or a private company? If that's the case, how did that entity have the ability to clear Will for the voyage?
I feel that for #2, the ship most definitely crashed. I base that on the little flashback in one of the last couple of episodes where Maureen was talking about how she didn't understand how the early warning systems didn't give them months to prepare, and Penny said something along the lines of "Maybe it was going too fast?" Judy then made some quip about how that's a pretty dumb idea...but in reality it makes total sense...the alien ship was traveling too fast for our early warning systems to detect it, and it crashed on the planet. I feel that if something is moving too fast for our defense systems to even detect it, we'd probably have a pretty difficult time shooting it down. Just my thoughts.
Either way, I do hope to see those two things addressed if (when?) we get a second season.
