never before have I wished y'all researched a bit more, then you would know the "alternative" ending is the original ending, and the test audiences didn't like it and that's why they went with the theatrical cut. you would also know this is based on a short story, and Craig 100% nailed why the story is called that, and it's even clearer there.

I'm sure people have commented this before, but the population has doubled in the last 50 years. so thanks would have just set the population back 50yrs. we would soon be back up to the same population
