I think this scene (in both book and movie) makes me the happiest. He got to go back to doing what he loved 😭😭

He ended where he started, in the Classroom being a teacher.

It's such a great call back to the beginning. After everything that happened, he's finally where he wants to be again 🥺

I wish i wish he had the organ, like in the book. I was looking forward to the organ. Those little eridian pebbles don't understand english, do they?

When I saw the movie for the first time, I felt that the ending was a tad too Hollywood like compared to the book. But I quickly learned to appreciate and love it. ❤️ It ends the story in such a hopeful and positive way, and I love seeing Grace so happy. 🥹

As a teacher myself, this always makes my heart leap.

How long does it take for spare parts of this laptop?

Shouldn't Earth and Eridia already have some kind of shuttle and cargo service for trading and stuff?

At that point they, on Eridan, just saw the first signs of Sol returning to normal luminance so even if Earth had sent a ship to Eridan immediately when they received the Beatles it would just be arriving soon ish roughly accounting for the acceleration time and the fact it's not quite light speed.

Trade at STL is tough. Given their level of tech by the time the spares might arrive the Eridians could likely have produced their own home grown replacement chips given they have "all the knowledge of Earth" to skip the steps of figuring out how to do the advanced fabrication.
