Everybody's still dead. Sarah still killed them. But in order to earn the Comedy Ending in the first place, you have to play in the most benevolent, compassionate way possible; Sarah has proven herself a thoroughly good person when not in the artefact's thrall, and Arthur is forced to admit this to himself. Instead of simply offering her escape and redemption, he grudgingly creates the birthday party scenario for her, where everyone appears to be alive and happy and the previous torment is rationalized as all being part of the setup. After all, what could be a better reward for Sarah than redemption and escape from the station, to live her life always remembering what she did? The chance to die peacefully, in happiness and comfort, with the weight of her sins completely removed from her mi

  • Everybody's still dead. Sarah still killed them. But in order to earn the Comedy Ending in the first place, you have to play in the most benevolent, compassionate way possible; Sarah has proven herself a thoroughly good person when not in the artefact's thrall, and Arthur is forced to admit this to himself. Instead of simply offering her escape and redemption, he grudgingly creates the birthday party scenario for her, where everyone appears to be alive and happy and the previous torment is rationalized as all being part of the setup. After all, what could be a better reward for Sarah than redemption and escape from the station, to live her life always remembering what she did? The chance to die peacefully, in happiness and comfort, with the weight of her sins completely removed from her mind, of course. Arthur still set the station on a collision course, but with Sarah happily distracted by the party, she would never even realize she was living her last moments. Evidence supporting this theory: * Dick Lee, the only one not intentionally killed, appears with a bandage on his head. He only appeared onscreen in flashback; the only possible purpose for the bandage is to make Sarah feel better about what happened to him. * All of the crew's personalities are very bizarre and shallow. Arthur didn't know any of them for very long (or at all, in the case of Dick Lee), and has presumably had a very long time to stew in his resentment. This might honestly be the way he now thinks of them. * Arthur himself is present at the birthday party. However, he does not participate, and in fact he looks pretty grumpy about the whole thing. ... The karaoke guy on the asteroid is still anyone's guess. * * Alternative guess: Those really are their personalities. Think about it: if you had to spend a couple months in these people's company, wouldn't you murder them?
