About those spoilers (Still spoilery) (Off-Topic)

There was no reason for the team to visit Miller's planet. None. Even if a beam in NASA's eye prevented them from realizing "Hey! Miller's only been down there for an hour." his planet should have been the very last in viability. Simple orbital mechanics: If the black hole's gravity bends space enough for an hour on Miller's planet to last seven years outside, that planet would have to be travelling at ludicrous speed to stay in orbit. Seriously, look up in the sky and you'll see plaid.

And if anybody wanted to land on the planet, they'd have to match its velocity first. The fuel that the team would have to burn would make the other planets seem downright welcoming in comparison.

Also, exactly because an hour on the planet is seven years, wouldn't the signal be distorted as hell? Thumbs up on the insanely overpowered tidal waves due to the black hole, though.

Btw, I think Dr. Miller was a "she".
