Stand-by 

With a quirky outline, Project Hail Mary stays within the bounds of human language and imperial fantasy.

It is not hard to make a musical biopic that pleases audiences and draws a profit.  Michael is no exception. 

White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.

It took writers D.B Weiss and David Benioff two years to give us a promising final season. Two. Years. It was just going to be six episodes, which was short considering that all the other seasons — except season 7 — were 10 episodes. 10. 6 wasn’t enough, and even HBO wanted to give the writers more episodes. More seasons, even. However, the writers wanted to get out of the show as quickly as possible to work on other projects. This abruptness is clearly shown in this season.

Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes. 

This inspiring true story falls nothing short of filling the audience with a passion to strive for their wildest dreams.
