Like why were the astronauts not told of their mission? I know, they said security, still?Was HALs false report a ruse by HAL or a real malfunction?
What would HAL have to gain by killing all the humans? Would "he" then rendezvous, "himself" with the monolith? He was, after all the only "one" that knew the plan.
Hal didn't seem to know that Bowman would blow into the airlock. Why was that? Why did HAL think that the lack of a helmet was not a deterrent in the face of certain death?
What does it mean when Bowman in spacesuit looks at Bowman old inside the "room" on/in the monolith? And was it really on the monolith or somewhere else?
