EPISODE REVIEWS
Great tense survival episode, the Basroil gets crippled with no radar or comms and has to limp through plane space blind. The Seigroil captain's sacrifice is genuinely somber, naval tradition done right. Ends on a lighter note that felt a little tonally off after all that, but still a strong watch.
an intense, tightly paced episode that excels through smart strategy, tense decision-making, and grounded space combat. The suspense never lets up, while the strong direction and restrained storytelling make every moment feel meaningful.
Down on the surface, the chaotic inmate shootouts feel cheap, generic, and totally disconnected from the core appeal of the franchise. It remains a lifeless, poorly paced entry that sacrifices character emotion for endless tactical procedure.
