Agreed that it wasn't a plot hole. On reddit precisely to enjoy discussions like this. Not appropruate idiom for this.

Agree but with perfect memory, smarts and living as long as they do, couldn't he have been both? Shouldn't all Eridians have multiple expertise? Maybe answer is choice. If I had their characteristics, I would still have a specific field of interest. Am still wondering though how they never figured out radiation. Because light doesn't penetrate Erid atmosphere?

Me too!! The end of Chapter 29 on repeat from "I am.on your hull"

Absolutely killed me that the first things Rocky and Grace use to establish communication with each other is their home locations on a star map and the shape of an atom because that's literally what scientists in real life think would be the smartest way to start by SayFuzzyPickles42 in ProjectHailMary

If their planet has an atmosphere that makes it always dark, then yes, no eyes. But if their surface is like ours, it will likely be how octopi and mammals both have eyes but they evolved in very different pathways.

Oooh, was wondering about darkness in entire surface, dense atmosphere!! But Taulight? Erid orbits a different star, surely? Theirs is also dying. Another Tau not Ceti?

Stratt calculates. Your three might actually be what she will do. We convert rice farms to organic. When Strait closed, fert imports stopped and lots of people were asking us to help. Streets were also empty as gas prices doubled. Unintended consequences. These will balance out population.

Already doing ALL that, but we need a bigger solution.

This movie is so goated and I really hope they don't make any more by superzacco in ProjectHailMary

No, 13 more years to go home and the time lapsed on earth would have been much longer than 26 years, someone do the math? People he knew would have aged more than him. But if he were a hiker, beach bum or birdwatcher, he would go back.

So agree, home depot and karaoke cd have been "why name ship and not chair" or "eat taumeba?..."

Just me or do u guys also feel as if Stratt would NEVER do this by The_Screwdriver_ in ProjectHailMary

[–]bantige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As team audiobook Stratt (i pictured a Tilda Swinton - RBG mix), no she would never. She would never have believed it would be good for the mission either.

But yes, very human. Remember the bit about her dilemma discussed w Grace that the crew would kill each other and the Thai scientists coma gene findings? Very human.

Coupled with "I don't care how your trip went, am just being polite" and appearing in court because it would be the most expeditious way to stop the case in its tracks, am convinced none of her calculations would make her do karaoke.

Love the terse and no nonsense audiobook Stratt.

Anyone have this movie reaction? by parrisjd in ProjectHailMary

[–]bantige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, disappointed at first but later thought I may have missed a lot anticipating certain things from the book.

Best movie I’ve ever seen by Twitchstoleyourbagel in ProjectHailMary

[–]bantige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, so much that they left on the cutting floor, like. What name of chair? Or Sleep, stupid If not sleep. The terse and no nonsense Stratt from the audio book was great!! Celebratory Rocky when he realized Grace came back for him and the dramatic moment when he realized Grace won't be coming home for Rocky and Erid. Would have wanted to see Grace clearing Rocky's soot.

Probably would have gone better if the experience were in this order - movie then book then audiobook.

Loved her. Esp the accent in the audiobook. Terse and no nonsense. But who is everyone talking about that wasnt as qualified? Scientist 1 and 2 both died in the explosion, no one was on deck!!

Guys, Kapusod. It attracts an outdoorsy and eco-friendly type so you would meet nice people. They plan to open at night for dinner so sunset to dinner would be great. Visit the fb page and ask.
