suddenly thinking about the courtroom scene, of Stratt being accused of pirating literally everything, and Grace later having everything in the various computers aboard his ship that he gave a copy to Rocky without issue, and the beetles having such a massive memory capacity and...

Stratt was a historian. She wasn't just pirating for the sake of entertainment for the astronauts, she was doing a full historical backup of the planet. Who knows how much knowledge and communications ability, how much art and culture and history, how much niche knowledge of how to make specific pieces of modern technology or modern medicines, was lost as the wars for resources isolated everyone, as the death tolls led to the deaths of specialized trade workers and scientists, as the power grids failing across the planet (or cut off, potentially) led to all the cloud servers going dark. Stratt was facing methods of combating extinction and she did her best to ensure that if/when the Hail Mary worked, it would send back not just the hope of the future in the solution to the astrophage, but the restoration of history and culture and knowledge.

Just.... she pirated everything, and put it all on the Hail Mary.

Psych is such a weird show bc in a lot of ways it's constantly asking, "can you forgive your father? even tho he could never forgive you, can you forgive him?" and the thing he could never forgive you for was not meeting his exact very specific expectations. And the answer keeps being yes you can, because not doing so is worse. You tried and it hurt more. You tried and it made you more miserable. You forgive him because he's all you have most of the time, and its somehow less complicated than whatever you have going on with your mom. You can forgive him but you can't forget, and then one day he realizes that he was wrong and there was nothing he should have taken as a slight about you, but you both just never acknowledge this paradigm shift in your relationship bc it'd be more awkward then fighting again for the millionth time. So things get better but you never say why, you never acknowledge it unless forced and somehow you forgive him more than your mom who you were never even half as mad at.

But also it's about breaking and entering into sea world and making a janitor think you killed your best friend so you can escape, it's about gaslighting your coworkers into thinking you are the dumbest man alive, it's about only closing a mystery when it's as funnt as possible and making sure everyone else around you is as baffled as possible. It's about childhood and nostalgia and growing up in the most chaotic way you can. It's about people being killed with a t-rex skull, it's about slapstick and committing to the bit and being the silliest messiest bisexual on tv in 2006-2014.

It's about a son and his father and forgiveness and somehow also they are in a circus tent trying to find out why a corpse was launched from a cannon. And also there's an extended musical episode that makes it onto my personal Spotify year after year

words are from 'harness your hopes' by pavement. something something mutual betrayal strattland. she thought she could trust him to carry the same weight but he wasn't able to and thus the harness falls on her to make that choice for them both on behalf of the world

Something I love about Project Hail Mary and its cinematography is how they frame the flashbacks and Grace’s ignorance with how they obscure half of his face.

The cinematographer made such a cool choice with how everytime Grace had a flashback, he’s framed in the dark right before and right after the flashback, particularly with how his face is obscured in shadows.

The first instance of this is that after the first flashback, Grace’s face is engulfed by his hair. The hair is all over his face, but I thought it was interesting how most of the hair was only framing one side of his face. We can’t see his face fully, and he can’t see himself because he does not know himself.

My favorite instance of this is when Grace finds out that he was forced onto the Hail Mary and the way the light frames this. It’s so utterly gorgeous and I love because it’s an inverse of when Grace finds out that he can go home.

In the scene where Grace reveals to Rocky that he’s not going home, he’s is in the dark. He’s faced away from the camera, from Rocky and ultimately his desire for home. He’s barreling away from home at a speed that is incomprehensible to the human mind. He’s further than anyone’s ever been before and he’s alone. He’s stranded and the lighting in the scene highlights that, and there’s a beautiful shift with a swell of music when Rocky gives Grace an out.

Grace walks into the light, and there’s this beautiful halo that is shined around him. The light is framing one side of his face and it’s a beautiful scene absolutely, but I also had the feeling that it was sad. I had the read the book, and this was the calm before the storm and ultimately one of the last moments where Grace wasn’t burdened by the truth.

Whereas when Grace finds out the truth, he walks out of the light and into the dark. In the start, the xenonite is reflecting of the surface of his EVA suit, casting a rainbow on his face, BUT only half of it. It’s a direct continuation of the fact that the last thing Grace sees on Earth is a rainbow. He had half of his face in the dirt, and when he learns the truth, half of his face is engulfed by a rainbow.

It’s a cold comfort that haunts him because he can’t feel it. He can’t feel the warmth of the sun, the breeze around him, the dirt in his nails, or the grass beneath him. He’s in a clinical EVA suit in an air he cannot breathe, and in a place that is not designed for him. And then later on in the scene, his face is engulfed in the dark and the light reflects on the opposite of face once more.

Something about how the final flashback has this beautiful halo of light around it and then the scene after has Grace stranded in the dark once realizes the lies he built for himself.
