    I said "in a sense".
    I believe that people discuss that in more depth in this thread:
    http://www.imdb.com/board/12085059/board/thread/262619255
    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.

        I thought it was wonderful, full of hope that we will build our own "heaven" one day.

          But it's not real. If heaven is a bank of servers in a warehouse and you're electrons zipping around in it, how many people actually would choose to go there?

            It'd be more real than the heaven religion offers.

              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.

                Well, but at least you get to exist on some level. And unlike with the heaven offered by religion, you know this thing is for sure.

                  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 just watched it. It's the least dark, depressing or disturbing episode of the series!
                        Most other episodes cause a huge sense of discomfort. If anything, this one was uplifting.

                          I'd be perfectly happy to carry on living in some server farm.
                          I just probably wouldn't pick a John Hughes movie as the backdrop, though. I think I'd want something a bit more fantastic.

                              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.

                                Have to agree, forever is a long time. Then again, I doubt the severs will be powered forever, so eventually even the simulation will die out.

                                  I never thought about it like that.
                                  The episode doesn't seem so bleak to me now.
