The reason why I hate the idea of growing up, I guess, is subconsciously because I want to remain a child and be sheltered from accepting the responsibility of things. I also shy away from making decisions and thinking about what I’m good for – which I am convinced, isn’t much.

They're just silly

Fox Ryland !!

I know the choice to change Stratt from Dutch to German in the film was largely a result of casting Sandra Hüller (who was perfect in the role, so like, I get it) but honestly the more I roll it around in my head the more the politics of it compel me.

Thinking about Stratt--who has such a unique blend of optimism and cynicism, willing to place Earth's hopes in an interstellar mission but approaching making it happen in such a ruthlessly pragmatic way--growing up as a kid in East Germany and living through die Wende and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc is just really politically fascinating. Partly because Stratt herself is so politically fascinating, but there's also something else there, something that speaks to growing up watching protests and upheaval on one side of the Iron Curtain, only to end up working for the extremely international European Space Agency as an adult (and then transition into leading the even more international Petrova Taskforce). In that context, movie!Stratt has seen both human conflict and human cooperation in spades, and I could see it hugely informing her perspective on the Hail Mary mission.

In any case. I'm still chewing on the implications of all this, but like I said, it does really compel me.

I know we all know how much the rest of the Hail Mary crew would’ve loved meeting Rocky (RIP Olesya Ilyukhina you will always have a special place in my heart) but you know who we totally forget would’ve loved to meet an actual, intelligent alien?

Eva Motherfucking Stratt

Everyone forgets (especially movie fans since I don’t think they even brought it up for y’all) that Stratt wasn’t a scientist like the rest of her crew. Sure, she was definitely smart enough to understand most of what they told her, but it wasn’t her field of study. She wasn’t a biologist or a chemist or an astrophysicist, she was a historian. She was also recommended for the project because she was an incredibly talented diplomat. Canonically, she’s fluent in at least seven languages, and probably speaks several more- give her a day, and she’ll understand Eridian almost as well as Grace. The atmospheric testing, the experimentation with Xenonite, that’s all her crew. But getting to know an alien race, learning all about their language and their history and their culture? That’s her thing, right there.

TL;DR: If anyone would have been absolutely fascinated to sit down and learn about society on another planet, it would’ve been Eva Stratt. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

We all have to make sacrifices. If I have to be the world's whipping boy to secure our salvation, then that's my sacrifice to make.

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

stop it. This shit isn’t good for my heart.

Yup! Very sure she didn't send it with him. That's probably why he cuts a pant leg off one of his only pairs of sweats when he's smashed on vodka after waking up, because the man just wants to wear his beanie. She kept his damn comfort hat. (She's allowed.)

Just because of this post and the reply, I went back to re-watch for this exact moment.

The reply is right. Even at the end of the movie, when Ryland sends off the Taumoeba to Earth, he's still wearing that beanie he cut for himself from his pant leg at the beginning of the movie. I don't think the beanie was sent up with him.

As far as it goes with Stratt having kept Ryland's beanie in particular, I can't tell since my version isn't as HQ. But from what I can see, there seems to be pilling on it? So if it is Ryland's beanie, then she's probably used it quite a bit.

Part of what's so compelling to me about Grace's breakdown after remembering he was forced into this is he must have realized Eva Stratt was right. He must have sat down on that cold floor swallowed the bile rising in his chest and sobbed bc she was right. It had to be him. He was the only one who could have saved Earth. She condemned him and he fought to live and it was just him. Not commander Yáo or pilot Ilyukhina. They were brave but now they are dead. And he has to find a way to be the hero, to be brave. Because there's nothing else he can do. He can't let his grief and anger swallow him because then everyone will die, but it also means he has to force down what's left of his ego and let her be right
