I fear death

Did they really conquer death though? Is what they now call "life" even real? I think that's why they showed the massive server full of "people". To make you wonder what it truly means to be alive. If they are just data in a giant server full of more data, it's hard to say they conquered death.

I said "in a sense".
I believe that people discuss that in more depth in this thread:

Also I believe that one day people would become physically immortal (I mean not dying from old age, they could only die in an accident), then they would truly conquer death. -

If that were true then the Quagmire wouldn't exist as an option. True heaven means you're perfectly happy and not wanting anything. I would argue that the Quagmire started because the inhabitants know that nothing is real.

I think a place like the quagmire would have to exist. It's a man-made heaven and that means everyone gets to go there, nice people and not so nice people. They need to cater for those people who have darker tastes. It's still heaven though as no one is suffering there (except the ones who want to that is.) And that's the point, you get to spend eternity in the way that makes you happy.
I used to go to clubs like that when I was younger, it was good fun. -

isn't your brain just electric impulses doing around and love just some chemical reaction? it seem you care more about form over actual content
is person in wheelchair real person? what about one using prosthetics? what about one with donated heart? what about Stephen Hawking? continue few levels further to answer your question if people's minds uploaded to cloud are not real. yes the world is simulation, but the people are real,i don't see much difference from working 9-5 and paying mortgage being more real when you just slave away your life, can't people finally have some fun? -

Gotta Disagree. I thought the chemistry between the two girls was magnificent, and the story was uplifting, rather than depressing. Also, the way it laid out the mystery of where they were and what was going on, (on other words, the writing) was brilliant.
This was the episode with the least sci-fi element, most realistic, which made it very relateablenot that I don't enjoy the epis that are more far out.
This is the only series since Twilight Zone to really pull off this genre. -

I would get so bored and depressed.
I would be with the same person for eaternity in some factory.
I would rather adventure into the great unknown. Death.
Perhaps i will be reincarnated.
But to be stuck in the same cycle forever sounds like Hell.
