I like how the episode "Vitus Reflux" didn't end with the cliche of Genesis Lythe and Darem Reymi being co-captains to make things "fair" which I find very annoying in other shows, and is also a terrible message to teach when it happens in shows aimed at children. I like how Darem in the end of the episode acknowledged that Genesis deserved to be calica captain more than him and that he didn't get a participation trophy just for apologizing.

my SFA mini-reviews after re-watch

Kids These Days: 7/10 Good introduction to all our main characters, way too long with too many unnecessary action sequences (Caleb falls with that shuttle for like three minutes and does anyone remember it? no, we do not), the hair, also Ake just kills people and no one in the writing room found it strange

Beta Test: 8/10 We are at the Academy, yay! Kelrec's first appearance, where he meets his barefoot future wife. Cool politics in the spirit of Star Trek, deaf representation and very nice costumes. Tarima did not charm me in this episode and Caleb was kind of annoying

Vitus Reflux: 9/10 We meet the War College kids and they are delightful, I love the heist, we see Kelrec's office and his tea, also Nahla's cute pyjamas, and Jett and Lura as coaches for calica. Great vibes. The Calica scenes didn't interest me that much tho.

Vox in Excelso: 10/10 First properly serious episode, excellent addition to the Klingons, great stuff for Jay-Den's story, very Trek solution with many real life parallels, also the good people of tumblr got Obel Wochak out of this and who am I to not acknowledge their win in life?

Series Acclimation Mil: 10/10 SAM is a fantastic character, I loved the stylistic choices reflecting her personality, I loved the ambiguity of the Sisko mystery and the conversation about memory, legacy and destiny, and of course, this is the episode prime for Nahla/Kelrec and every scene they share brings me closer to god

Come, Let's Way: 9/10 What a shockingly bold episode. They killed a kid! For real! Nus Braka's best episode, that man doesn't miss here, not once, and his and Nahla's scenes are just fantastic, oh my god. The furies were kind of lame, ngl, I am also still not sold on Tarima being Jean Grey actually.

Ko'Zeine: 6/10 Better on a second watch, has nice costumes, good friendship moments between Caleb and Genesis, Lura's hilarious phone call with Jett... Would have worked fine in a longer season, felt like two B plots without anything truly substantial going on.

The Life of the Stars: 7/10 I was annoyed with the pseudo-theatre therapy last time, hated it on re-watch. Tilly comes off as too forceful and mean at times, it's painful how she just targets Tarima in front of everyone... Not a good teaching, not a good therapy. Still a good episode because of SAM, the Doctor and Nahla. That was fantastic, top tier acting, concept, writing, also Holly's hair is just *chef's kiss*

300th Night: 8/10 Fun, actually. For a first chapter to the finale, it is very enjoyable, lot of fun moments, the last time with my boy Kelrec (I think about them standing that close my every waking moment), Anisha is found, Darem gets beaten while smiling, good vibes. It is still just a set up tho.

Rubincon: 7/10 More fun, Jett Reno in top form, some fantastic acting from Holly and Tatiana, economically wise usage of the atrium. Like half of the kids don't have much to do, the plot doesn't make sense in several places and then it fumbles the messaging. Also my boy is not in the cute year book credits and I will still throw hands about that.

This means that mathematically my score for season 1 of SFA is 8/10, which is not accurate, because it is actually ♥/10, which equals to everything ever.
