When Bowman and Poole started asking too many questions, HAL reported the imminent failure of a similar device, sending them outside and Frank Poole to his doom.
Just sayin’.
“When Bowman and Poole started asking too many questions, HAL reported the imminent failure of a similar device, sending them outside and Frank Poole to his doom.”
No. A thousand years later, Frank Poole is (was) revived.
That was always a hole in the story for me... If HAL was in charge of everything then he could have just opened an airlock and taken care of both of them at one, without the need for an elaborate scheme to get them outside.
It did not seem logical to me that the computer would decide to kill then and then make up an elaborate deception to do it.
