    You know, this would be a really good plot for a horror movie. 6 volunteers get locked up with no communication for 6 months. When they open the doors they find a grizzly massacre inside. The rest of the movie is replaying events to find out what happened.

    @dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: Did you mean "grisly" massacre? Because if it was a grizzly massacre, that would be kind of awesome, but it would probably be easy to figure out what happened. (It was the grizzly bear, hidden in the food closet.)

    isolation on earth seems like it would be even more stressful since you would always know that you could walk out the door at any time and go watch John & Kate +8, but in space you wouldn't have that option.....or would you...

    @A Pimp Named DaveR: I'm surprised it didn't end with more then it started. 6 people + 1 fetus emerge from the spacecraft...
    The 520 day one will surely end with a new generation.

    Captain's log, star date 101.1.42.204.204,

    The morale of the crew has significantly decreased this morning, as someone has finished off the last of the Cap'n Crunch. Crewman Bowman was the first suspect, and upon finding crumbs on its jacketses, he was immediately jettisoned from the ship in what looked like a linen closet, but I sincerely hope was the airlock. Crewman Hammond claims he can see the dark inside him, and my first officer keeps saying "Liberate tu te me ex infernus". Now, I'm no psychoanalyst, but I do believe we've gone quite mad.

    This whole business reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where the guy goes insane in exactly that, a simulated space trip, out of loneliness / monotony.

    Overheard:

    "Hey Bob what do you want to do today?"

    "Dunno what about you?"

    "We could count the tiles on the floor again."

    "IT'S FUCKING 578 JUST THE SAME AS YESTERDAY!!"

    I am a poor candidate for space travel since I cant even be locked in a car for a 6 hour drive without going nuts. (I have never seen anyone who drOve cross country with friends that actually remained friends after the trip.)

    As long as they don't show Red Planet, I think they can keep the Space Madness at bay.

    A little off-topic; wasn't there a reality show where they tricked people into thinking they were going to Mars or something? What was the name of that? It sounded like it would have been pretty funny.

    So it's a show about a bunch of men stuck with Tricia Helfer on a spaceship for 12 years, and have access to virtual reality? Yeah, I wonder what their virtual reality programs will be about...

    Oh, is there going to be an episode where one of them wants to be Sherlock Holmes, and Professor Moriarty becomes aware of his situation and starts to invade the rest of the ship? If so, I'd so watch that.
