What was the point of (spoiler)...?


Okay, this was a great miniseries. One thing I didn't get, though, was why they needed to destroy the planet. The children had ascended. The adults had all died off. The planet had been stripped of all human life. So what was the point of blowing it up? It seems like this was just a plot device to put a punctuation mark at the end of the story.

would have been nice if the pretty planet Earth had been left free of men, to heal her scars and to go back totally wild.

Imagine exploring that world 1000 years later.......but maybe there are millions of them in the universe.
