This is why I love indie productions so much.

one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.

they throw stratt in jail for life but world renowned, white european political prisoners don't get the short end of the stick in terms of prison arrangements. she's not in some overcrowded unsanitary hole of a women's prison, she was the most politically powerful leader on earth for god's sake. she was put there by important people already in charge, people who would still want to keep in contact with her from time to time. no, she'd have her own nice, clean cell: a bed, a desk, her own bathroom. she'd be allowed phonecalls and letters and meetings, they probably wouldn't allow her unmonitored internet access but they would bring her newspapers and maybe even leave her a tv so she can watch the news.

but most importantly she would eat well. the food would be good. it wouldn't be anything restaurant grade, but it would be clearly something prepared for her. and she would look down at her plate and her brain would run leclerc's calculations for their global food resources and she would ask herself how many people in her world are going hungry because there's systems in place to keep people like her fed like this. and her throat would close around every bite.

It's ok, it's just that when Grace first meets Eva she picks up the Earth beanbag from his desk & then when she leaves him the astrophage dots she tosses it back to him & then he carries it through interstellar space to ultimately give it to Rocky. And then at the same time Rocky gives Grace his waving-xenonite-Grace-figurine when they first meet, which Grace keeps with him the entire time, to ultimately send it back to Eva.

i was watching the karaoke scene again last night and genuinely like it fucks me up

bc in no way can be read that she was always gonna send grace on the hail mary, or that she suspected or knew she was going to have to send him.

when she sings, it is absolutely to him, but it's to reassure him that she knows she's going away but that she's coming back. she's telling him to hang in there, that it's going to be hard but that she believes in him and that she will come back when the time is right and they'll meet again somewhere far away from here.

that's the captain of the ship telling her first mate "youre gonna have to run things when im gone but its okay bc i believe in you and youre gonna do fine. I'll be back soon."

she KNOWS she's a scapegoat. she's been planning for her arrest and eventual escape the whole time on the backburner.

and then the disaster happens and she has to send her second in command, her friend, to his death or they all die.

and suddenly there is no more "we'll meet again someday" bc she's never gonna see him again. even if everything goes to plan and she escapes and the beetles arrive with a solution-- she loses grace forever.

if that doesnt just fucking gut you, if youre too busy being mad at her for killing grace to appreciate the fucking tragedy that is their relationship, you are missing out on some prime angst.
