You have to really notice it

Warning: Spoilers
I personally loved this episode because it took a concept that's not that original and did something unique with it. This show had a lot of episodes with astronauts finding themselves in strange worlds. That's what the first episode was! They go to an asteroid and find a town full of frozen people. It gets better when it's revealed that one guy is actually alive and explains what's going on. They mention that they came from Earth.

They're not going to have the "Earth All Along" twist this time. The basic explanation is that the guy is actually a robot or some kind of machine. It's revealed that this is a cemetery. This is a place where people had their dreams fulfilled. It's just that they're killed and put in a scenario to have it fulfilled. Doesn't end well for our heroes. ****
