24. What’s your favorite thing about Wolf 359?

My favourite thing would have to be the characters and the relationships between them!

23. What potentially contraband item would you sneak onto the Hephaestus?

I’d like to have a secret notebook so that I would be able to record my thoughts without the fear that Goddard or my fellow crew members would be listening in. Privacy certainly seems to be contraband on the Hephaestus!

Either that or a load of photos of my friends and family that I could look at when I was feeling earthsick!

22. What is your favorite line?

Either Minkowski’s 'I am in charge of this disaster’ or Hera’s ‘Such a big universe and you only gave yourselves the tools to think about a tiny part of it’

21. What song reminds you of Wolf 359?

It might be cheating to go for the first space-related song that comes to mind but I'm going to say 'Space Oddity’ by David Bowie. The final verse really reminds me of when Eiffel floated out of comms range in Lovelace's shuttle: “Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom?”

20. Would you play Funzo? Why or why not?

I can't deny I'm kinda curious about the rules but on reflection I would run far away from any games of Funzo. Even though I love board games, I don't think I could cope with how confusing and infuriating Funzo is! Plus I wouldn't want to risk the damage it would probably cause my friendships or relationships with my family!

19. What is your favorite track from the soundtrack?

I haven't really listened to the soundtrack on its own because it makes me too emotional to have it as background music. But Alan Rodi’s work is incredible. Hearing the main theme at the beginning of an episode always feels like coming home, so I’m going to say that as my favourite track.

18. What is your favorite friendship in the series?

Minkowski and Eiffel 100%. 

I am such a sucker for very different people who are thrown together by circumstances and infuriate each other but end up caring about each other deeply, and the way in which Wolf 359 showed the development of Eiffel and Minkowski's friendship captured my heart. Eiffel admired and trusted Minkowski completely. Minkowski would do anything to keep Eiffel safe. As much as they drove each other up the wall, I do believe that they kept each other sane in everything that they went through.

17. What do you think is the most heartwarming moment of the series?

Definitely Eiffel and Minkowski's hug when the Si-5 brought him back to the Hephaestus after he was stranded on the USS Unending Nightmare. I've relistened to it so many times and it still hits me right in the feels! I love hearing Minkowski’s loss of her usual composure in her gladness to see Eiffel again and Eiffel’s “I missed you too, Commander. I missed you too... Okay. Air. Air flow is still a thing that's important.”

Honorary mentions to Eiffel’s speeches to Lovelace and Minkowski before the mind-wipe and to sleep-deprived Eiffel wanting to stay up just to chat to Hera when they finally got her back online after Hilbert’s attack.
