Episode 5 is a solid, if predictable, entry in the series. The space combat is fun, the crew dynamic is growing, and the show knows exactly what it is: a lighthearted power fantasy with spaceships and cute girls. If you're enjoying the ride, this episode keeps it going. If you're looking for deeper storytelling, you won't find it here.
