I like that!
As for the kids going back, I think it would be cool if 5 was in his old man body when the rest of them are kids
Totally agree
Klaus aka The Seance aka 00.04, But I don't think they have used the group's "codenames" yet.

Until this series I have never heard of 'The Umbrella Academy' before. The code names sound like a logical place to take things. I know they were all given numbers by their 'Father' and then chose their regular names themselves (except for Five)- what were their code names?

So, i wouldn't get your hopes up. Could there be a season 2? Sure. Are they ever going to "end" the story on a solid note? I don't believe it at all. It's got all the hallmarks of a show that'll never finish anything. The constant physical conflict where both sides always completely loose interest the moment they have the upper hand, and the fact that we witness things that are simply ignored or undone later "cause drama" tells me it's not a show that finishes things. I started losing count of the number of times BOTH sides opted to not finish the other off. We even witness a character killed, then that same character comes along later, "cause evil powerful organisation". It's a show that sets its rules based on the whims of the scene; which is why y'all are NEVER gonna figure out how Five's time travel works, because its shown to function almost a half dozen different ways, all of which are independant of the supposed rules we see his powers "follow" prior to, or after, any given use.

I'm not saying answer every question, but you DO at some point have to answer the big over-arching question. It could be success, or failure, or after 5-6 seasons being caught in an endless loop, but you want an answer. And in this case, you want something answered. The only answer we got was what caused the end in the first place.
As for the person who did/didn't die, well, we assumed they died. Cardinal rule of TV/movies, no official dead body, no death. Room blows up with someone in it and you don't see person blown up, odds are they survived, regardless of what was implied.
Cha-cha and Hazel can't simply kill off anyone outside their targets because there's no telling what unintended consequences that brings. 3 days before the end of the world, probably nothing. But at the same time, they kill a couple of the kids, then what's his name trying to turn her against them doesn't necessarily happen, or work, etc. You can't tip the wrong dominoes and generate the same effect. On the flip side, the kids aren't really killers or don't want to be.

I'm not sure if this was a reference or just coincidence but did anyone spot the nod to Full Metal Jacket?
When Cha-cha says "We get to travel and meet new people...and kill them." I thought of that as a nod to when Private Joker said "I've always wanted to meet people of an ancient and exotic culture...and kill them."
At least that was how I took it.

Almost as long as a wait as we just went through for the Game of Thrones.
I got that reference. Made me smile when I heard it.
