I would love to see the show ultimately evolve into hard sci fi extra-solar c-fractional exploration and colonization, complete with relativistic time dilation and the personal, societal, and governmental consequences thereof.
I don’t think it would be a good idea to introduce FTL (or even artificial gravity) to the show at any point, and I hope they don’t eventually do that.
Starting next season: Ed becomes a brain in a jar and gets a shiny new robot body. Proceeds to guide humanity into a golden era of galaxy exploration and cooperation. 20 seasons later, humanity has evolved to the point of no longer needing physical form. The entire universe has been explored and catalogued. Only Ed Baldwin-bot remains in corporeal form.
