*THE MARTIAN* First Time Watching Movie REACTION! 

Time stamp it if you caught the silent cry for attention from our super secret 3rd reactor!

As a biologist, trust me, his only thought was "hey, i have all the organic matter I need to plant these potatoes and make them grow". You do know that farmers literally cover their crop fields with cow manure to add organic matter to the soil? It doesn't affect the taste whatsoever.

Fun fact, all the scenes on Mars were actually filmed on Earth

When he pulled the knob out of his stomach he was matching up the pieces to know if he got it all out.

"The director is more concerned with how he looks in all of this than he is with Mark." it's not really about his image. He's responsible for all of NASA, so his biggest concern is the agency's survival. When a major tragedy happens in spaceflight, like the real life disasters with Apollo 1 or the Challenger and Columbia shuttles, America understandably freaks out about it and there's a massive public debate around space travel, with how risky it is and how much it costs. The agency has to shut down operations for a few years and do a thorough investigation of what happened so that they can take steps to prevent it from happening again, and Congress usually ties NASA up in hearings and ends up cutting their funding. If he approves a risky rescue mission and it goes wrong, they lose 6 astronauts and a multi-billion dollar vehicle that was designed to go back and forth to Mars for 8 or 9 missions. Congress would never just give them more money to build another one, so the manned Mars program is dead, and probably all human space exploration with it. There's a possibility NASA gets shut down altogether or gets its funding cut to just enough to put satellites in orbit and nothing else. If they just lose the one guy, that's a lot more recoverable. He's trying to make the best call and wants to get Mark home as much as everyone else, but the risk vs reward calculation is different for the guy in charge of all of NASA than it is for the folks who only work on this one mission. He has to consider ALL of the ramifications, including the political and public relations ones, because they make a huge difference in the big picture for NASA's ability to continue.

The science is very accurate except for two notable exceptions. The books does a really good job of explaining all the science. The author admits that Mar's thin atmosphere means the storms on Mars would not be able to tip over the MAV. He just needed that plot point to force abandonment of Watney. In the book Watney jokes about puncturing his suit to go Iron Man, but he doesn't do it. There would not be anywhere enough thrust from a leaking suit to make any difference.

If you found the movie funny, the book is flat out hilarious. The opening line: "I'm pretty much fucked. That's my considered opinion. Fucked."

The movie is based on a novel by Andy Weir. He had a sci-fi blog and he posted a chapter at a time. Viewers asked him to compile the chapters into a book, which he put onto Amazon for .99 The book got so many downloads that it was put into hardback. It sold so well both hardback and downloads, that he wound up with a movie deal. There are some little gems of Watney's humor that didn't make the movie. He opens one chapter by explaining that when he gets back to earth he's going to live in western Australia - because it is on the opposite side of the earth from Idaho. When they tell him that the supply probe that's coming to his rescue (the one that broke up) is called Siris - the goddess of rainbows- he responds "Right - gay probe coming to save me." It's a great read, told primarily in Watney's voice.

4:36 "This is bigger than one person." "No, it's not." "Yeah, exactly." It is *absolutely* bigger than one person. The story as told is cool and fun and heroic, but the Director was absolutely right. Astronauts sign up knowing the risks and that their lives are potentially expendable. Risking multiple other lives, billions in technology and the entire future of the space program to save one life? What if the rescue mission had failed, or the ship breached on the way out and drifted off into space? Making that kind of choice in a logical fashion, regardless of what you 'want' to do personally, is exactly what the Director is supposed to do. I hate that people think he's the 'bad guy'.

I saw Neil Degrasse Tyson say this was the most scientifically accurate space movie ever made.

The shouted 'Boromir!' gives me hope for Tess getting the 'Project Elrond' joke. Update: the squeal, priceless!

'Surprise! How do you like them apples?' Excellent call back, and call-forward!

Between Interstellar, Saving Private Ryan, and The Martian ,the U.S. Govt has spent a ton of money rescuing Matt Damon. Tess' unrestrained laughter at the funny parts is most enjoyable.

"Bucky was in some Iron Man movies" -- Almost every actor in this movie has been in a Marvel movie

The NASA director in the movie gets a bad rap. He's being asked to make a decision that would risk the lives of the returning crew. Those that are returning have a much greater chance of survival than the one stranded on Mars. So the decision he makes, though hard, is actually the right decision.

Such a good film, the book is even better.

If you're in IT, you know AscII code. It's basically hexadecimal (16 digits) converting to characters. For example, a 2 digit AscII code of '41' is a capital 'A'. That's how they communicated initially.

I read somewhere that one of the biggest "problems" with the movie is that storms that powerful do not happen on Mars because of the thin atmosphere. The author of the novel could not come up with any other reason for them to have to leave in such a hurry. If Mark had simply been blown away by some malfunction/explosion they should have had time to search and find him. The storm was the only way.

The reason he wasn't tethered was because the tether would've been caught up in the spinning parts of the ship. If you go back, you can see him passing between rotating parts of the ship. He would've been either pulled in and crushed, or the tether could snap and he'd be sent off into a random direction. Anything can happen if the tether gets stuck

What they don't mention in the movie is that Whatney is also the Mission Handyman. This is why he has all the technical skills in addition to being a Botanist. Also, consider this: Matt Damon only had 3 scenes with other people - the rest he was acting against himself!

11:40 Farmers, gardeners, landscapers, etc. use livestock manure as a fertilizer to provide nutrients needed for crop production. It doesn't change the taste; I don't know where the hell you got that.

Fun fact: When Watney recieves the first verbal communication in years and he begins to cry, that wasn't on the script. Matt Damon did his side of the movie alone, guiding himself with just recordings of other parts already filmed, so it was a surprise for him when he heard the other actos at the launch scene. His crying was real.

Ppl with no farming experience are so cute when they thing 💩is gross. You know what a potato smells like if you were to dig it up mid germination.... it smells worse than 💩, it smells like 💀😂

When he got back on the Hermes I bet food any food tasted like pure joy

23:16 The answer is about 99% accurate. Engineers, Botanists AND ASTRONAUTS were consulted in the making of the movie, and the ONLY thing that was pure Hollywood license was the reason they scrubbed the mission at the beginning ... the force of the wind. The Martian atmosphere is so sparse that even a strong gale on Mars would have the force of a light breeze on Earth, but all the science in the movie is real and accurate.

You guys really need to visit a farm someday and learn how your food is grown.

"Potatoes gonna taste like crap" That isn't how fertilizer works. lol

Hey guys. Normal rockets/ships burn engines for a short time to generate thrust then coast at that speed so only have limited fuel to thrust and glide so can’t turn around. The Hermes in the book has an ion engine which is so of in use in real world. They trickle gas like argon or neon which generates a tiny bit of thrust but over a long period, this makes you go real quick. Short version, no, they can’t turn around and go back!

I'm so happy you reacted to this!!!!! Such a good movie!

Something that they also kind of left out but I understand why, is the time delay between transmissions. It would take greater than 40 minutes to send and receive a message depending on where Earth and Mars are in their orbit. So whenever he asked a question he would probably have longer than an hour to wait to get an answer and or instructions because they would have to decipher what he's saying and then formulate an answer that takes time.

If we only had a fully funded NASA.

The director said it best, "people wonder why we fly", when things go wrong. I don't think he was worried about his own image, but about NASAs' image.

This movie is one of those rare cases where you don't expect much, but it's amazing. So here's another like that: Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

I get the frustration with the director, but you have to remember that his job is to protect first the mission (both the specific one and the larger general endeavour of space science as a whole) and then the team, as a group. It helps, I think, to remember that astronauts are, in a sense, like soldiers (sometimes literally), or even special-forces operators; they know that what they do carries a relatively-high risk of death. Accepting the job means accepting that, if necessary, you will die to achieve your directive and to protect your crew. That doesn't mean they want to die, of course, but it's not like the more-usual employment where "sacrifice your life" is about as far from your job description as you can get. NASA came pretty close to shutting any kind of crewed missions down for the foreseeable future after the PR disasters of the Challenger and the Columbia. NASA's funding is always on a lot more of a knife-edge than you might think, especially with such strong and increasing anti-intellectual and anti-science sentiments running through the nation's right-wing (indeed, many right-wingers have made entire careers in the last 50 years out of attacking government public-interest science in bad-faith as "ivory-tower eggheads wasting your tax dollars", despite the fact that science funding is a drop in the bucket, especially compared to the near-trillion-a-year military budget). And once projects are shut-down, it's often incredibly hard and expensive to restart them, as teams dissipate and take-on other jobs and relevant expertise is lost. If you can't get NASA maintenance funding, good luck securing cash for the much-steeper start-up costs, and private firms are very unlikely to take-on the kind of not-immediately-monetizable experimentation that is vital to science but that only governments seem able to fund. So, like it or not, there's a lot of science riding on NASA's ability to make itself look good to the average voter (and we all know what George Carlin said about the "average" voter; "think of how stupid the "average voter" is, and then remember that, statistically, half of all voters are dumber than that"), so the NASA director's apparently-frivolous concerns are really anything but.

6:52 - *“Now, did they mention his background at all? Like, is he a doctor or an engineer?”* I don't think they mentioned his specialisation at this point in the movie, but _any_ astronaut has extensive training in _both_ medicine and engineering, including doing an actual medical rotation in a working hospital. While the movie mostly talks about his botanist specialisation, in the book he was a dual specialist in engineering and botany, and he ended up doing *_a lot_* of engineering over the course of the story. 7:53 - *“What's he doing?”* He's checking that the main piece and the bit he just fished out fit together - if they didn't fit, that would have meant there was still another piece left inside him he would have to get out, before he could close up the wound. 17:18 - *“Could they…” - “turn the one around?”* A lot of people ask this, when watching this movie. While the exact engine technology of the _Hermes_ is not explained in the movie, like in the book, it is clearly implied that they are still subject to orbital mechanics - no far-future, sci-fi, super-powerful engines like they have in _Star Trek,_ that can just power through to any point in space they like, on sheer brute force alone. Since they still have to follow orbital mechanics, once the _Hermes_ broke from Mars orbit and went on a trajectory back to earth, they were _fully committed!_ They could no more turn around and go back to Mars than a parachute jumper could change his mind halfway down to the ground, pull his chute back into the backpack, and fly back up into the plane. It is quite possible that we will _never_ have engines that could skip out of orbital mechanics, unless we somehow discover a completely new set of physics. There is nothing currently known to theoretical physics that is at the same time *small* enough, *powerful* enough, and *_safe_* enough to install in a space vehicle meant for humans to ride. 19:57 - *“Boromir!” - “Uh oh… Sean Bean's in this movie. Hope he makes it to the end.”* The movie is so _relentlessly_ positive and optimistic that, even though Sean Bean is in it, only his character's _career_ dies. 😁 34:20 - *“Can that hold?”* The short answer is "no". The long answer is "No fucking way! That's so far beyond plausible, it's not just ridiculous, it's _fucking STUPID!"_ They expect us to believe _at the same time_ that the pressure inside the Hab is so high that it can somehow _launch_ that gigantic, incredibly heavy airlock high into the air, flipping end over end… and yet so low that it can't escape past a visibly flimsy layer of plastic wrap and duct tape. The decision to replace the book's sturdy, high-tech "hab canvas" with a sheet of cheap see-through plastic wrap (and in the later scene with a bit of parachute silk) is one that simply _baffles_ me to this day. It completely undermines the suspension of disbelief. Most of the compromises and pieces of artistic license the movie takes are perfectly understandable, made necessary by the constraints of time, money, and the medium itself. But this mindboggling decision cannot be explained by _any_ of those factors. I love this movie to bits, but I'll never understand why they did this. Thank you for sharing your reaction with us, it was fun seeing this movie again, through your eyes!

He was pointing the receiver towards Earth, which you can faintly see in the sky. And only Captain Lewis and Martinez are in the military.

The Audible book (RC Bray narration is best!), is a MUST! An 11 hour movie of the mind, with many more "incidents"... The author consulted with NASA on keeping the science real. The only blatant inaccuracy was the storm that caused the accident, which the author needed to force the launch without him. A "storm" in the thin atmosphere of Mars would not be strong enough to fly a kite!

The mission was to take longer, that's why he wanted to stay and wait it out in the habitat. And if you watch during the movie he's finishing up things that they were supposed to do but didn't because they left early.

Great reaction. Jeff Daniels character of the Director of NASA gets different results from different people. He is VERY pragmatic and dispassionate, but he also makes decisions quickly. His actions and decisions can be interpreted in several ways, and I am not sure that there is any real right answer. But it is interesting to see that he is the one part of this movie that different reaction channels tend to see very differently from each other. Thanks again for the video! Glad I found your channel!

16:54 the director of nasa is not giving up on him so fast, he’s just being realistic if he spread out his food, nasa doesn’t know he’s growing potatoes, so the director is playing every bad card so everyone in his team can play the good card to figure out the situation.

I like when they both say “pathfinder”

The storm is enough to destroy their spacecraft. So they have to abort, and Mark gets hit in the face with a radio station. For the record, Mars has the worst, fastest storms in all the inner Solar system.

This movie is based on a novel of the same name, written by a space scientist (cant remember what type). The author wanted to write something that general audiences would read but which would also be educational. So he wrote a kind of scientific drama. It is ALL realistic except for the storm that starts the story - as the author noted, without that storm the story cant start. The book is extremely enjoyable, even though it has a lot more detail aboutthe science issues - a huge part of the story is the journey to the MAV, and the complications involved, such as Mars has dust storms that last months, so if you use solar power and you get stuck in one, youre dead, so Watney has to play cat and mouse with Mar’s weather, plus a few other mishaps. I read the book in one sitting - its that good. And that surprised me too.

I REALLY enjoyed the book. Most of the science is sound. Actually, probably the biggest inaccuracy pertains to the initial emergency. The Mars atmosphere is so thin, the wind would have to blow ridiculously fast - several hundred mph - to exert enough force to tip over something as massive as the MAV (and it would invalidate the premise to send the MAV a year or more in advance if it could just be blown over in a bad storm). I think they did a pretty good job adapting it for the movie, with one exception: the stupid Iron Man thing at the end. That was total Hollywood crap, and not in the book. I mean, they have an MMU that is designed to facilitate moving around in space!

the director is really not the villain you think he is. his decision not to use the hermes is really not about how he looks, but the legitimate concern of killing all 6 crew members instead of at least getting 5 of them home safely. Also, if he were only concerned about the looks, he wouldnt have taken the blame for the unsuccesful first launch attempt. The only looks he is concerned about is the looks of nasa as a whole, which is arguably right, bc as he said himself at the beginning: if there is a dead astronaut (let alone 6 dead astronauts) all over the news, nasa wouldnt even get the budget for a paperclip and would probably almost cease to exist.

I'm not sure, but I think Matt Damon's line about "solve enough problems and you get to go home" might have been inspired by Col. Chris Hadfield (you might remember him from a famous rendition of, IIRC, "Space Oddity", performed on the ISS, that did big RU-vid numbers a few years ago). I recall an interview with him in which he said (paraphrase) that being in space is about being surrounded by forces that are trying to kill you, and that you just have to keep solving the problem that's going to cause you to die next until you're back in the environment for which billions of years of evolution have adapted us (a context you don't appreciate until you're outside it). I'm sure it's not the first time the idea has been expressed regarding space, but it's a memorable one.

I describe this movie as "Apollo 13 meets Cast Away".

"OK, but what's the _water_ situation?" You are smarter than you think!

I don't know if someone's already mentioned this but the storms on Mars don't have enough Force to do what you see here in the movie. Yes, Martian sandstorms can kick up a lot of dust, even enough to cloud the planet, but that's because of the Martian soil. The Martian atmosphere is extremely thin and there's just not enough force behind it to do anything close to do what you see in the movie. They needed something to get him stranded so that's what they went with.

How you didn't slap him when he said "honey i don't think your nasa material" is beyond me

one thing they left out of the movie that was in the book was that if something went wrong with the Hermes picking up the extra supplies they wouldn't be able to stop. they would slingshot back towards Mars without food and they would starve. So the crew decide who should survive and it is inferred to that the young woman would have to eat the others bodies in order to make it back to earth.

Mars gravity is about 38% of Earth, so a 10lb chair would be less than 4lbs

U guys are not alone in suggesting to turn around but its not that simple in space. Weight and fuel efficency is everything in space and to limit weight u dont wanna carry more then u really need. Becouse there isent anything that can slow u down in space to change velocity or anything u have to use fuel so just turning around is not an option. First they have to cancel out any forward momentum they already have and then speed up back to Mars. Once they reach Mars they have to slow down again to pick him up and once again speed up to Earth and still have enough fuel left to slow down once they reach Earth. Everyone of those manuevers are using alot of fuel that was never expected to be needed when they calculated how mutch the whole mission would need. Ofc they have extra fuel for emergencys but nowhere near enough to be able to make all those unplanned manuevers.

6:45 -- he's not non-chalant, he's prioritizing survival above emotion. That's how you survive. The brain has a way of helping you do that in emergencies. 12:15 -- "If you can smell it, it's already in your mouth."

Theres no storms on Mars. They needed a storyline.

as to "when" this takes place, there is no year listed on the movie or in the book, but Andy Wier wanted to only use technology that exists today, so there are no "sci-fi" gadgets etc, this is how it would go IF we decided to start a project like this today.

First time watching your channel ❤ As a huge science fiction fan you guys did a great reaction. Most people don't understand that Mars and Earth change positions And it makes a big difference in how long it takes to get there. So very astute observation. I would love to see you guys react to Dune. It is a beautiful movie with a great plot I think you guys would love it.

All things considered, this movie was an amazing adaptation of the book and included a lot of pretty good details. Of course having Sean Bean present for the LOTR reference was quite meta and not something that could have been done in the book! 😂

Those students jogging by paused out of respect for the most famous person on the planet. An actual American hero.

He was putting the pieces together to determine the length to make sure he got it all out. FYI most farmers in this country use manure as fertilizer. We buy and eat those vegetables.

One of the greatest books I've ever read, and a fantastic adaption by Ridley Scott 🔥

And just an FYI a Martian year is equivalent to around 687 Earth days.

The Martian is one of the greatest books ever written. Sci-Fi ? This is barely Fiction, mostly science. The amount of research Andy Weir put into this is insane. A lot of this is currently true, possible, or will soon be, or just makes sense. Sure, it's not the most complicated plot, story, danger, adventure, whatever, but it is damn near perfect still, and probably should be used in schools to show what science, sound reasoning, knowledge can do, why it is important. The story is nerd shit, and it's cool, and it keeps you entertained. There are many good writers, i wonder how many would even try something like this to be honest. Then tack it onto we NEED to do this shit, we need a self sustaining base on Mars ASAP. One giant rock hits us, bye bye humanity. Not that we're too great, we're fucking up this planet and each other like crazy, but we have potential, but as long as we stay on one planet we have a bunch of ways we can fuck up and all die and zero backups. And just a self sustaining base on the Moon does not cut it, it's not solving the problem, for some things Earth and the Moon's fate might be tied. And this story has another thing, humanity coming together with one single goal, leave no man behind. Just get it fucking done. And honestly, showing it can be done will make us proud, put our minds together and solve the problem, cost be damned, we can rebuild, losing faith, drive, is FAR more dangerous. We can do just about anything if we want it bad enough, cost be damned. If everything was about cost, we might have gotten nowhere, because we had no guarantees anything would work because we were figuring shit out. We might have never gotten to the damn industrial revolution, to space. What has it brought us so far ? A shitload of technology we use for all kinds of stuff we had no inkling of beforehand. What if we slowed the whole thing down by 50 years, and at year 49 a big rock hits us. Bye bye.

9:36 Not cynaide no. (in the book it is morphine) 18:12 They can redirect where it lands remotly. 27:55 The extended cut actually says what the word is. They give the warning not to google it. Do not ignore this and google is.(it is stronger then the F word)

5/5 reaction! Loved it and subbed it!

52:08 Hol'up, was that a sneaky "Captain America: The First Avenger" reference?

"Are your receiving me? Yes No" I would have pointed at No.

Even with a number of inaccuracies and the wildly stupid punctured glove flight, it's still a great movie. Well, and Rich explaining a basic gravity assist manoeuvre to a roomful of NASA directors using a stapler is, yeah... =)

The most unrealistic thing about this was actually achieving all that using the metric system.😃

im happy you finally saw this movie.

I love how technology improves and as movies reflect the latest, older movies look so funny. I remember movies before the space program began, and they thought of rocket ships as actual ships in the sense you get in and steer and go this way and that way at will. The ships were always streamlined, even though we knew it wasn't needed to be for vacuum in deep space. Viewers in the '50's would be blown away by the appearance of the Hermes. I do remember back then reading that space flight was impossible because it would take a rocket ship the size of the Statue of Liberty to put a human into orbit. Well, it did. (Hope you get a chance to watch Apollo 13 based extremely close on the actual sequence of events.) Also hard to think it makes sense to jettison the first and second stage rockets because all that intricate expensive machinery is cheaper than the cost of the extra relatively-cheap fuel to keep these attached. One thing I find interesting is that the terrain in this looks plausible, even though it was shot on earth in areas of extreme dessert. Yet the views of the Martian terrain being beamed back to earth now show a landscape that is very rocky but with rounded features of a completely water-eroded geology. (Probably there ARE regions on Mars that look like those in the movie but at the time it was filmed, it seemed to be thought ALL of Mars looks as portrayed.)

If you fancy watching an old b/w sci-fi movie, I'd recommend 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'. It's an unusual story but still very much relevant today

Wow, you guys sure are oblivious to the whole grow food with poop thing!

23:32 There is one star you could see during the day on Mars. Earth.

Glad you guys like this movie. It's one of my favorites. You really should check the movie 'Deep Impact'; you'll love it.

Very fun.................Off topic. A great older movie which is fun. The Sting (1973 I think)

They should have saved a few potatoes in a vacuum bag.

Sean Bean survived this movie, but his characters career didn't. I thought that was a funny touch!

0:55 slow it down at 0.25...what is that behind the couch???

If yall like reading, I LOVE Andy Weir's writing! Artemis is another good one if you want something different from this, and Hail Mary is also great if you want another survivor sort of story, but it's much different than The Martian. The book of this is well-adapted, but the original is great if you want to dive deeper into this story and it's science!

actually Jess, NASA accepts people from all backgrounds and specialities- you don't have to be a scientist or a genius these days, so you COULD be NASA material. Tess, I think your reaction was great and you had lots of great things to say x

That guy also played a drag queen named Lola in the movie “Kinky Boots”. Cheers

TIP: not sure if all the microphones work the same way so you might need to check the specifications for the ones you have... but I think your voice enter through the side, and you have them pointing at you. I think the idea is that you can place one of those mics on a table and it will capture the voice from everyone around a table. You probably need just one.

Regarding the questions about whether the plastic and duct tape atmosphere seal would hold, atmospheric pressure for 1 atmosphere is around 14lbs.

really scientifically accurate

The time/distance between Terra and Mars is not constant. They both have different sized orbits around the sun, and travel them at different rates, so a lot of the wait between missions is to capitalize on the shortest possible route between them, which is referred to as a 'launch window'. So, strange as it sounds, to send something immediately means that it may arrive long after something sent a year or two later

42:40: even if everything went wrong, there would be a survivor for the return journey. I'll let you read the book to know the answers.

Hexadecimal is a number system in base 16 - 0 to 9 plus six more symbols. Computer programmers use it in some way.

Great reaction. thank you for putting the time and effort. i hope you watch Tarantino Movies in the future. love and peace.

Great reaction 👍🏻

The book is a nail biter! Any book that starts with "Well, I'm pretty much f*cked" gets my attention lol..

I had the book and the Audiobook for my daily commute a year or so before the movie came out. There's way more in those than the movie and plenty more humor and funny wiseass comments than the movie. Spoiler Alert! In the book Mark does Not do the IronMan thing. Martinez went and got him out of the MAV. Plus the Audio version has Excellent voice acting. So for me the Movie was just OK but I understand it couldn't have everything from the Original story. I recommend those Highly! Watney - "Duct Tape works Anywhere, it's Magic and should be Worshipped!".

If only you saw, or worse smelled what they grow mushrooms in you would never look at one the same way again... mmm Money's 🍄 🍄 🍄 ❤😂💩🙈🙊✌

One mistake in the book and movie is storms are weak on mars. Needed to create real tension.

His strength after starving himself is an issue, but you should know that the gravity on Mars is 1/3 that of Earth.

I've seen this movie several times and watched several reactions but while watching your reaction, realized one thing. In a sense, they stayed true to form while Sean Bean lived, his career died in this movie.

47:01 it was filmed on location, duh😉

Random person tip of the day: Read or listen to the book. The film is a rare great adaptation, but still, the book is still a nudge better.

You're in a spaceship in space not in a car on the road. You cant just turn around.🤯

Totally random comment, but I also follow a music reaction channel called "Soul Singer Discovers". I think she might be Tess's doppelganger. Maybe it's just me... Great reaction, btw!
