Yeah this part was pretty dumb. It would make sense if she was a romantic, but she's supposed to be a scientist. Now you've got me started... here what I really hated about Interstellar:

- How could Cooper not know where Nasa is? He's given coordinates and he goes there and is still confused as to where he is once he arrives.

- When he leaves earth it's in a Saturn 5 (ish) rocket as you would expect. Yet their little ship can take off from planets on its own later without it.

- The movie takes great steps to be as realistic as possible yet Cooper almost wrecks the mission by flying wrecklessly when landing on the water planet.

- When they need to carefully navigate the wormhole Cooper gives control of the ship to TARS. Why not give it to the ship's auto-pilot instead? Even worse, the Robot TARS grabs a joystick to fly the ship. How dumb. Orbitting anything requires careful percision calculations. A machine, handling a joystick, is ... UGH....

- When Cooper asks Tars a question, Tars answers in goofy jokes instead of providing a direct answer. I know this is adjustable in its AI, but still. DUMB.

- Why bother with the whole thing about changing history books to the point where kids no longer believe people were on the moon? It's a throw-away that is never mentioned again and seems to not affect the plot in any way.

- Something explodes on Man's planet and burns with regular looking fire, yet there's not not enough oxygen to breathe, let alone allow anything to burn.

I did enjoy the Wormhole and Black hole scenes alot, and the trip through the Tesseract was extremely well done. The music was great, the FX were great, etc...
