'Nightflyers': Could Angus Sampson's Rowan be the evil hologram AI from the 1987 movie?

The whole run and chase between Rowan and Agatha sounds a lot like the AI from the movie adaptation hunting down the female passenger, and thus going on a homicidal binge.

With the release of the first five minutes of SyFy's upcoming show 'Nightflyers' - based on George R. R. Martin's novella of the same name - fans had a lot of question to ask. Those who have followed the novella right from the start would know about the spaceship adventure set in the future, where crew members of the ship are fronted with a horror inside their ship. And fans got a glimpse of the same horror in the form of Angus Sampson's character Rowan, who was shown to be an axe murderer hunting down crewmembers for some unknown reason as of yet. That has made us wonder who he really is, and why - or rather how -  he ended up on this gruesome homicidal spree.
