History Fridge / FinalSpace

* When taking a closer look at Kevin Van Newton and his situation, it ironically appears that he's almost completely similar to Gary Goodspeed. Which is absolutely hilarious considering he was the one whom created the mechanical being the latter despises the most.
** Kevin almost looks like an older version of Gary Goodspeed. Having similar builds and statures.
** He is stuck in a dead Earth with only robots to give him company (in this case an army of [=KVNs=]), this has left him very loopy and having a few screws loose. Absolutely mirroring Gary's dilemma inside of the Galaxy One.
** He's got an InterspeciesFriendship with a Ventrexian, namely Biskit. Like Gary with Avocato and Little Cato.
** Van Newton even gets a ForgottenFirstMeeting with Quinn! Just like what Gary faced. [[spoiler:Although in his case it's a bit more complicated. He actually met ''Nightfall'' not the current Quinn.]]

** Then again, given Season Three, how do we know Jack was as nice as he seems to be in the past? Lord Commander doesn't seem to be under anyone's immediate control, rather being fueled by his thirst for power. That leaves two horrifying options; Lord Commander is being influenced by Invictus and is in an AndIMustScream scenario, or... [[FromNobodyToNightmare Jack always had Lord Commander's darker desires deep down and being given his new powers merely pushed the wrong buttons.]]

* Clarence sheds his skin several times as he's running off to be with Sheryll. When someone is described as "wearing a second skin", it means someone is being dishonest and fake, which is pretty fitting given [[JerkAss Clarence's personality.]]
** Considering that Clarence has been wearing a skin that looked identical to his real self for all of Season Two, and only shows his real (but completely identical) one to Sheryll, it could be argued that it symbolizes how he was never genuine with his own children or crewmates and only showed his true colors to Sheryll; [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk which was also fueled by his same nasty tendencies.]]

* Why are the Titan claw marks in Wisconsin? It must have been one of the many places hit when the Titan from Season 1 pulled it into Final Space.

* Quinn has been stuck in Final Space for what can be assumed to be from several months to a year. What Gary discovers is that, while she is alive, she's been surrounded by all of the dead Garys that likely sacrificed their lives for their Quinns. This means that poor Quinn has been [[AndIMustScream stranded in an endless abyss with only a massive demonic Titan and the countless dead bodies of her boyfriend for company. For almost a year]].

** Kevin looks absolutely like an older version of Gary Goodspeed. Having similar builds, statures and the same blonde hair.

In ''Series/FinalSpace'', no one can hear you [[FridgeLogic think]].

* In Episode 8, Gary meets several alternate versions of himself, including the obnoxious "Mustache Gary" who relentlessly rubs it in his face that he'll never be able to grow a mustache. While possibly just another strange thing that Gary is fixed on, it's possible that his inability to grow a mustache (or ''belief'' that he can't) is actually a subconscious fear that his childhood trauma and stunted emotional growth will prevent him from becoming a mature man.

* John Goodspeed gave Gary the original caterpillar Mooncake as a gift before leaving and going off on a mission. [[spoiler: And when he sacrifices himself to close the tear to Final Space, he ends up unintentionally bringing the present day Mooncake who would eventually find Gary into the universe.]]

** A more likely explanation is that Gary (who, as you remember, was [[SpaceIsolationHorror trapped in a space shuttle alone]] ''[[GoMadFromTheIsolation for five years]])'' learned to associate happiness or pleasure with cookies due to HUE's method of using cookies as rewards (or, more often, punishments). It would explain why Gary imagined his "family" to be giant anthropomorphic cookies in [[Recap/FinalSpaceS2E2Chapter2 Episode Two]]: Gary tends to visualize happiness as cookies, because that was more or less his only source of joy during those five years of complete isolation.
*** The "cookies=happiness" interpretation actually makes a moment in Season 1 quite heartbreaking. [[Recap/FinalSpaceS1E4Chapter4 Episode Four]] begins with Gary seeing a cookie floating in space and trying to eat it. HUE is forced to stop him because Gary is in the middle of space and would instantly die if he removed his helmet. Gary desperately fights for the cookie, but ultimately lets go of it and watches in quiet resignation as it floats away. Keeping with the idea above, it isn't hard to view the scene as Gary giving up all hope for a happy ending to his story.

* Quinn has been stuck in Final Space for what can be assumed to be from several months to a year. What Gary discovers is that, while she is alive, she's been surrounded by all of the dead Garys that likely sacrificed their lives for their Quinns. This means that poor Quinn has been [[AndIMustScream stranded in an endless abyss with only a massive demonic Titan and the countless dead bodies of her boyfriend for company. For almost a year.]]

** It's also a clear demonstration of just how powerful Invictus is compared to the Lord Commander. Lord Commander, for all his power, was unable to force Avocato to hurt his kid, and, even when he had Little Cato mind controlled, he couldn't force him to kill his dad. When Little Cato tries to appeal to his fatherly love, [[OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness Invictus-posessed Avocato ignores and brushes him off, and even goes as far to disown him.]]
** Invictus doesn't even really erase Avocato's care for Little Cato or Gary, but he ''corrupts'' it. Invictus convinces Avocato that Gary was lying when he asked him to look after his son, and instead believes Gary just took Little Cato to replace Avocato as his father. The weirdest part is the wording he uses, which is "thief". In other words, he's no longer acknowledging Little Cato's personhood in the slightest. It's essentially turning Avocato's love for his child into [[KnightTemplarParent outright petty possessiveness,]] which makes the snap second where he nearly shoots Little Cato a parental version of IfICantHaveYou.
** There's also a darker interpretation of this. Given how Avocato briefly tries to fight Invictus' will, it's possible that, deep down, he's mildly aware of how he's acting and can't stop himself. Imagine being in his shoes; you're forced to feel corrupted feeling of misplaced jealousy and anger, almost fatally shoot your best friend, and your kid is forced to shoot you after you've refused any mercy. And even ''that'' isn't enough to put you out of your misery, and the monster inhabiting your body teleports you while the last interaction you have with your child is fueled by rage, envy and spite. ''Yikes.''

* if Little Cato discovered Avocato’s dark secret [[spoiler: about how he isn’t his biological father and he murdered his biological parents who are rulers of Ventrexia]], will he run away or worse, disown him?

* Quinn has been stuck in Final Space for what can be assumed to be from several months to a year. What Gary discovers is that, while she is alive, she's been surrounded by all of the dead Garys that likely sacrificed their lives for their Quinns. This means that poor Quinn has been [[AndIMustScream stranded in an endless abyss with only a massive demonic Titan and the countless dead corpses of her boyfriend. For almost a year.]]
