History WMG / EventHorizon

* [[Film/BackToTheFuture I thought the exact same thing.]]

** [[UsefulNotes/ConspiracyTheories And you believed that explanation why?]].

[[WMG: That bloody [[HumanoidAbomination humanoid...]] [[OurDemonsAreDifferent thing]] from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK1debnXYlA the deleted scenes]] is [[Wiki/SCPFoundation SCP-]][[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-106 106]].]]

[[https://twitter.com/phubar/status/860129292151214082 Partially-confirmed. Screenwriter acknowledged the setting's substantial influence on the film.]]

The idea that despite his HeroicSacrifice that his crew [[KillEmAll NEVER GOT AWAY.]]

[[WMG: The ship wasn't trying to get another crew, it just wanted to go "home"]

[[WMG: The Event Horizon itself [[VillainDecay isn't so bad anymore]]]]

[[WMG: The "realm" that the Event Horizon traveled to was [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons The Abyss]]]]

[[WMG: The "realm" that the Event Horizon really traveled to was ''[[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} the WARP!!!]]'']]

[[WMG: The film is a BroadStrokes-sequel to ''2001: A Space Odyssey'']]

He's being manipulated by an abyssal being. It was him that activated the portal remotely using magic. An abyssal entity is the thing that possessed the Event Horizon. The film takes place in the far future of the ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness''.

The crew of the Louis and Clark are sleepers, and Weir was orginally a [[PostModernMagick Void Engineer]] sent by the [[AncientConspiracy Technocracy]] to check out the Event Horizon after a trip through the Umbra. Unfortunately, the mini-singularity he designed proved to be an inadvertant [[MaximumFunChamber Caul]]. Normal sleepers going through it just get [[MindRape regularly mind raped]]. Weir, going in on the other hand, makes him [[FaceMonsterTurn rethink his allegiances somewhat...]]

[[WMG: The Event Horizon found a passageway directly into [[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse Malfeas]], possibly into the Black Spiral Labyrinth itself.]]

* Pretty darned close to what happened on Even Horizon, isn't it? Perhaps the ''Event Horizon'' can travel through time ''and'' space, and spend its missing years on the fringes of ''Firefly's'' known universe...

[[WMG: Event Horizon is set in the Star Trek universe.]]
In the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Random Thoughts", we get to see all the violent thoughts in Tuvok's mind. Among them are three images from Event Horizon. Either he saw the movie once and it somehow made an impression on him or the events of the movie happened In Universe, one of the survivors got mind melded by a Vulcan doctor at some point after First Contact, and Tuvok mind melded with either that Vulcan doctor or another Vulcan who mind melded with that Vulcan doctor and the images got transferred during the meldings.
** The events in the ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' episode "Impulse" were NOT the result of Trellium-D poisoning. In the logs, the crew of the Vulcan ship went insane in a manner identical to the crew of the Film/EventHorizon. "Trellium-D poisoning" was merely the story used in the cover-up. Consider your mind blown.

* Very unlikely: no Warhammer-style Daemonic Possession in Trek as a consequence of FTL and teleportation.

[[WMG: Event Horizon is based in the same universe as VideoGame/{{Doom}}]]

[[WMG: Event Horizon takes place in the distant, distant future of Film/{{Sauna}}'s universe]]

[[WMG: Film/EventHorizon is Miller's DyingDream / Eternal MindScrew / MindRape.]]

Remember when Miller mentions that the last two ships that "went out this far never came back"? How much do you want to bet they were sent out after the Event Horizon? And they were likely rescue ships just like the crew of the Lewis and Clark, hence [[spoiler: the fake "rescue" scene near the end.]]

*** Or the new rescue crew is actually genuine. [[FridgeHorror But since they entered the forward decks of the Event Horizon...]]

And the gravity drive accesses its dimesion.

The ship didn't send out a distress call picked up by Earth - the ship called Weir. Weir paid for the Lewis and Clarke and was lying that it was for official business and using his government connections.

** As much as I'd like to believe that Miller was somehow spared from a FateWorseThanDeath, that doesn't explain how the Event Horizon's original crew all wound up in hell...unless they were all secretly serial murderers or something.

* Throughout the movie Smith in particular has a hatred for the Event Horizon that seems to border on irrational at times. When the Lewis and Clark is damaged and depressurizing around him, he still protests when Starck suggests taking refuge on the Event Horizon and doesn’t seem to agree with Weir’s suggestion that it ‘beats dying’. While welding the damaged ship, Cooper notes how long Smith is spending outside working on the Clark and Smith retorts that he’d rather spend twelve hours out in space than another minute on the Event Horizon. He violently explodes at Weir after Justin goes out the airlock while screaming that there’s a price for breaking the laws of physics. When he and Peters are getting the [=CO2=] scrubbers from engineering, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he’s so desperate to get the fuck off the ship that he’s perfectly willing to leave with less tanks than they’ll need to get home]] and even ends up inadvertently abandoning Peters to her death and doesn’t even notice that she’s no longer behind him in all the time it must have taken him to run back to the Clark. Finally, when Miller tells him that Weir planted a bomb on the Clark, he makes a futile attempt to find the bomb instead of running back onto the Event Horizon, which ends up costing him his life. Why the hell is he acting like this, even before the freaky shit starts happening? If Smith has a connection to the Warp, he can probably sense how dangerous the Event Horizon is just by being near it. As a psyker, he’d also be more vulnerable to things like demonic possession, so him trying to stay off the ship as much as possible could be an unwitting survival instinct. In short, Smith subconsciously knows that death would be a relief compared to [[FateWorseThanDeath what the Event Horizon has in store for them.]]

* Presumably when Dr. Weir was testing the drive he opened up a smaller portal to Hell. Not enough to do any physical damage, but enough to connect Weir's mind to Hell, which is why he had dreams of the Event Horizon before he got on board.

[[WMG: The Event Horizon's design was meant to protect the crew during transit and it failed.]]

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, it failed. The crew got disoriented and began to deteriorate mentally. They tried to get back to where they started but by the time they did, it was seven years later for the audience, but perhaps only a few hours (or days at most) for the crew and ship. Their last transmission three months prior to the Lewis & Clark's arrival was their last moments alive.

Weir defined it as a dimension of [[ChaoticEvil "Pure chaos and evil"]]

* There is also a throwaway line at the start where Starck notes "the air tastes bad" due to the Co2 scrubbers being compromised, even using some spare scrubbers only gives them roughly about 20 hours of breathable air before they reach PointOfNoReturn, high amounts of Co2 have been known to cause hallucinations, remember, the ship is never shown to ''directly'' cause deaths, every single death or near death was caused by the crew doing something (Justin activated the airlock, Peters just stepped out into open air, and Weir was the one who put explosives on the Lewis & Clarke as well as killing D.J) the only one that kind of grinds it to a halt is Weir then Reappearing after his "death", but, Nobody except Miller directly saw that part, so it could just be that the ship is going through massive failure due to being affected by Neptures gravity, causing the fire and explosions and Miller just Hallucinating Demon!Weir, due to Miller blaming Weir for his crews misfortunes and deaths, not only that but when describing the effects of an Ion Drive, D.J mentions the forces would liquify you if not in the Stasis Gel, so imagine to forces involved in an attempt at FTL travel without Stasis Gel, then look at the windows on the Bridge.

Both feature a transport system that transports though hell and in both cases something comes though from the other side.

** Not really. That "demon" that went down the ladder was Dr. Weir.
