What is happening in this intro. I'm now just picturing D'avin going around trying to find Johnny a girlfriend, it's hilarious.

Love the cut to Khlyen on Zeph saying "family". I'm thinking about how Khlyen's sacrifical death in season two was a good, bittersweet ending to the Dutch & Khlyen story. Now it needs resolution, again.

JOHNNY: Your past is not a prison, doc.

The show's ongoing theme! <3<3<3 Wait, is this what the entire prison plot has been about?

More Zeph and Dutch friendship, yessss.

DUTCH: We're not the people we were then. You're not alone now.

This Leith backstory is interesting, though I never know how to feel about final act wordbuilding. Dutch: still hot even when she's space Amish.

This conversation about being weak for the people who abuse you. More theme. <3 Also, Zeph and her (mother?) remind me of Pawter and her mother in S2.

DUTCH: Hey, some of us *were* raised by aliens.

Dutch, putting things in perspective as usual. And referring to Aneela as her sister! So much emotional growth.

D'avin is trying find Johnny a girlfriend! I now want this fic so bad.

It's another final supper montage, ugh no, I'm so stressed out for everyone now. Also why are they all so cute?

It is!

This!

I love that Dutch called Aneela her sister!

Same!

That intro! (Johnny is literally skipping) And I think D’avin might be trying to set up Rennika with Johnny? (either way, I’m glad she’s sticking around)

Capture the flag!

Dutch checking on Zeph!

Fancy with the infodump! “I like to read” (I kinda want to eventually get Fancy’s backstory)

Things aren’t going well for the Lady.

Zeph and Dutch talking about their respective awful parents and their complicated relationships with them.

The doc’s creeping me out – and he’s the bad guy.

Johnny and Mace and Calvert working together to stop the doc!

I love Dutch and Zeph bonding!

Johnny and D’avin talking!

Dutch and Zeph have shirts!

I really like the dinner scene!

Come on Khlyen!

I hope Aneela and Delle and Pree and Gared are back next week!

I don't want Fancy's backstory only because the more awesome he is the more I'm convinced he's going to die. :(

Fancy and Turin are my main worries at this point. Tbough I said that last season, too.

I'm tentatively hopeful they'll both be fine - like after the season 1 finale, I don't think I would've guessed they'd still be around for season 5.
