The parties are advised to chill.

"character deserved better" (but they were never going to get it that's the stuff great tragedies are made of) vs "character deserved better" (but the writers really blew it)

I find it so strange that Stratt's "yeah, after the launch I'll end up in prison until the end of my life, no big deal" wasn't included in the movie. Like, Grace does ask her what her plans are for the next twenty years. Why isn't the answer there. It's great that she has a prison tattoo when she gets the beatles, it's great that we have the director's confirmation that she was in prison and escaped (?), but. a) it's very much Not Obvious if you just watch the movie and don't know what prison tattoos look like. b) I feel like this is such a significant part of her character? her being absolutely ready to sacrifice it all and knowing from the start what the price of saving the world will be? it hits so hard in the book, along with the "oh, I will [go to hell]. you three are going to Tau Ceti, the rest of us are going to hell". Why wasn't it there. Give me the woman who is readily and willingly tying herself to those trolley tracks and refuses to see that as a big sacrifice or be pitied about it. I love her so much.

Damn, that's useful

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!
