ok controversial take but it occurs to me that floyd is arguably one of the most rational characters in the odyssey series. like not to say he didn't make some real dick moves but they were never for the sake of being a dick there was usually solid reasoning involved

#actually now i want to write something about him and how scientists in media are often portrayed as dedicated to their field above all else #and how that works with the character and the series in general and how acc was a scientist himself #and maybe the contrast between the books and the movies in that aspect #actually thats a lot. maybe slow down first.#ANWAYS. to be totally honest if *i* was relying on an ai who (THROUGH CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WERE NOT HIS FAULT) had previously attempted to #kill all of his coworkers in response to his own operation being threatened for my safe return from earth fleeing an unknown threat #i would also maybe want some way of quickly and decisively regaining full manual control of the ship he operated.#2001 aso #2001 a space odyssey #2010 odyssey two #2010 the year we make contact #aso
