'''Cooper''': No. It's ''necessary.''
** TARS's part is to manually dock with ''Endurance'', which Mann was unable to do even under calm conditions. Despite the spiraling, TARS is able to calculate by single degrees and perform the docking to perfection.

* The long, empty shot of the crew drifting past Saturn. Even though they're all still alive at that point, there is still such a profound sense of isolation and insignificance--and they still have so far to go. There is just enough time on this shot to allow all this to sink in. Now ''that'' is filmmaking. Special mention should go to the segment where they impose ambient noise from a thunderstorm against the image of the ship flying by Saturn. Blending powerful sounds of nature with the majesty of the cosmos. GeniusBonus: There actually are massive Earth-sized thunderstorms happening within Saturn.

** It was doing more then spinning. It was hard to see, but the Endurance was actually ''precessing,'' that is, spiraling around its new center of gravity like a Spirograph wheel. So CASE and Cooper didn't just have to match the spin but the spiraling motion. It was a monstrous feat and could not have been done without both working together perfectly.

** Like many other aspects of the film, this location is based on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder O'Neill cylinder]], a potential design for long-distance space stations that could be built in the future to explore the galaxy, and it's seriously cool to see one realised in full motion.

* TARS and CASE. In a meta way: their entire presence in the film (every borderline-AlienGeometries-feeling second of it) was ''practical effects''.
** The way in which they move around (including their ability to churn through water by turning into a tumbling water-wheel) makes this use of practical effects all the more amazing.
