"rocky would hate stratt because she hurt his bestie" plausible, even likely. "rocky wouldn't hate stratt because he understands the stakes of needing to save the actual world" nuanced, intellectually stimulating. "stratt would hate rocky because her ex wife whom she killed is happier with him" intriguing, avant-garde.

#7 billion fucking people on earth weren't enough but you'll die for the alien. sure. no yeah. sure.

i do think the one thing the project hail mary novel has over the film adaptation is that when rocky boils himself alive in grace's atmosphere to save his life rather than be left alone again book grace is like "man what the hell was that for" and goes and boils himself right back for the exact same reasons. i just think it would settle a lot of discussions about their codependency and whether or not they're each other's equals to be reminded that they would literally light themselves on fire before being prepared to lose each other.

"what do you think happened during those four years on the way to erid" i think they engaged armando's suicide watch protocol in the first month. the one that wasn't even supposed to be necessary. for the suicide mission.

do you see this shit my liege
