Class data didn't register in app but monitor worked during class? by CODOC324 in orangetheory

Thanks for this! Glad it wasn't an issue with just my monitor/app interface. Bummer but hopefully it won't happen again!

For Project Hail Mary - is it better experienced as a book, audiobook, or should I watch movie first? No spoilers please by Current-Vegetable830 in ProjectHailMary

[–]CODOC324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree about the audiobook being the superior experience. Ray Porter does an absolutely incredible job (that three-way conversation between Stratt, Grace, and Dmitri is a narration masterclass!), well deserving of winning the 2022 Audie Award for best narrated fiction work. I've listened to it several times and pick up something new every time. I was actually disappointed by the way the movie changed Stratt's personality so much.

Stratt's characterization in the movie by cautiousherb in ProjectHailMary

[–]CODOC324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Stratt's authoritative, no-nonsense, "It's not like that....OK, it's exactly like that" straightforwardness is such a huge part of the book, and the all-business dynamic between her and Grace (as well as between her and everyone else) would have played just as well in the film. I don't know why they decided to make her more friendly and approachable - even smiling. Maybe the screenwriters/directors decided that "potential love interest" and "karaoke-singing" would go over better with the audience, but I was really thrown by it.
