I mean, just kill the host as soon as the upload is complete. at best you are not conscious during the process and when "you" wake up you are in the cloud. The version of you that awakes gets told that the "transfer" was complete.

I was thinking more along the lines of St. Junipero :D

Oh I know San junipero, just suggesting the plot of season 2 of future man as another similar reference - minds uploaded to “the cloud” and bodies destroyed on upload complete. Haley Joel Osmand is pretty decent as the antagonist of that season.

never watched the show. Is it any good?

Pretty good. Offbeat as all hell. Loses its way a little in season 2 but pulls it back for season 3. Wasn’t generally considered a hit, didn’t make it past season 3.

7.7 on imdb is very solid. I'll give it a go. Thanks for the tip

that's a weird way to spell Pantheon.
