Besides the idea that perhaps Cassie, Capa, and Pinbacker represent a new Eve, Adam, and Serpent, what if they could also represent a new Hindu trinity... Cassie -- Brahma -- the Preserver, the Balancer Capa -- Vishnu -- the Creator, the Savior Pinbacker -- Shiva -- the Destroyer, the Re-Starter My girlfriend, who is Indian and a Jain, and just recently finished the Bhagavad Gita, pointed this possibility out to me. Of course, she and I could be risking over-interpretation, but what does everyone else think?

Cassie -- Brahma -- the Preserver, the Balancer Capa -- Vishnu -- the Creator, the Savior Pinbacker -- Shiva -- the Destroyer, the Re-Starter Isn't Brahma the Creator and Vishnu the Perserver? Anyway, I think it's an interesting analogy. One of my favorite things about Sunshine is that it can shapeshift to fit so many perspectives on the universe and spirituality. My only complaint would be is that I see Shiva, and the destructive force in general, as much more in harmony with Brahma and Vishnu than Pinbacker is. Shiva's forces of death/destruction are meant to release stagnant patterns and lead to joyous rebirth. He is the Big Crunch to the Big Bang, a return to the primeval singularity to give the weary old universe a chance to rest and be recycled before it bursts into life again.

I'm not sure whether Garland intended that. I think there is just a analogy between the chrisitan creation myth and the Indian one in this case. In a lot religions there are similar beginning myths, there are often good & bad guys in it for example.
