I love how anders is trying to prove to the crew that yeah she’s new here but a competent badass science officer and didn’t land the job just because of cooper; meanwhile, cooper is messaging eisele trying to get her to be their third

was it casual when I formally recommended you for this space mission and the fucking ship crashed and you looked to me and I squeezed your shoulder and said I’d take care of you and was it casual when our boss ordered you to take a sample of a potentially dangerous alien lifeform and I volunteered to do it instead and was it casual when you asked me to synthesize a sedative so you could drug our boss and expose his secrets and I did it of course I did and was it casual when you were freezing to death in a locked room while our colleagues were in a different room on fire and I ran to you not them and was it casual when one of us had to sneak past our boss (an imposter?) and I volunteered for that too (always will instead of you it seems) and was it casual when I was bleeding out in your arms and you asked me what to do and I assured you it was okay and said to breathe and your name was the last thing I ever said

Imagine being the sole survivor of a tragedy where you made the call that killed your entire team and your ahem close friend helps you overcome the trauma and emerge with a new will to live and fight and when the chance comes in the form of taking a colony ship to Tau Centi f you jump at it just for an alien lifeform to overtake and crash the ship, dooming the crew including your close college friend who’s only on the mission because you formally recommended her for the open position and you’re going to have to make more decisions that will inevitably get this team killed too AND YOU’RE 27-YEARS-OLD
