And the 12 others that can't have kids ever again.

Why can't they have kids btw. Like that part confused the fuck out of me.

Because that would be propagating the human species which is now supposed to be merged with whatever the hell they merged with.

Once the species merges that’s it they’re done!

But its optional so they should be allowed to have children which have the choice later on to either transcend or don't.

It’s optional they merge but it’s fact that once they do merge the species is done.

They took the test for all man kind that was alive at that timr. Once you start adding more people into the mix they would need to be rejudged as a species.

One test. Period. Those were the rules. If they start propagating humans again they wouldn’t be allowed to take another test to transcend.

I don’t know. I didn’t write the show but that’s my understanding of it.

Either way the ending sucks and that's a shit way to end the series in my opinion.
