What logic? Within half and hour of discovering the super-secret last-ditch space project that will either save all of mankind or ensure it dies on a planet where all that's on the menu is corn, Cooper's hired as the lead pilot. There's no schooling on the mission, no training to acquaint him with the new equipment, and certainly no testing to check if his fairly crucial piloting skills are still up to speed after years spent kicking back on a farm. Thankfully, the rest of the crew at least decide to tell the man piloting their ship all the details of his mission once they're in space. There are other inexplicable elements just dropped into the story that also happen to have no bearing on the plot. What purpose does Cooper capturing the rogue drone serve within the story? What is the point in changing history regarding the lunar landings? Why even introduce Topher Grace's doctor as a character, when his only purpose is to confirm what we already know about the health of Tom's family and give Murphy a romantic interest? Still, all of these pale in comparison to the big one.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
