I don't see this ending as awful at all, except of course for the suicides. But a quarter of the ship's crew, with even higher rates among the general population? That strikes me as unrealistically high. For most people, it takes a lot to be pushed over the edge.

I also note that this is part 6. That means either that the true ending is in two parts, or that there'll be Something Completely Different as part eight, maybe an "author's comments" or some such.
