Night Shyamalan, and those contrivances are just proof of someone with the ability to go back in a script and put in the necessary dialogue and information to set up what needs to happen. So really the movie is about Mel Gibson’s character learning to be grateful to M. Night Shyamalan for writing the movie.

I totally agree about Interstellar being able to be cut off at a certain point and made into a better movie (and I think I know the place?) but I didn’t have as much issue with the stuff after it. Matt Damon is kinda where I got thrown out of the movie a bit too, especially with the other guy straight after back on earth. Also: way too many dudes. John Lithgow was pretty good though. Also so was this episode thanks bye
