En este cap pasa de todo, lo malo bueno, es bastante entretenido.Teniendo en cuenta que es una serie de los 90 y la calidad era la mejor en su época, no calificaré eso.

They start to work together, even though trust is still an issue. The mix of comedy and character moments makes this another enjoyable episode. Overall – teamwork, 8/10

Episode Context

Episode 3 shifts gears from the chaotic first-contact energy of the opening episodes into something more grounded and character-driven. Survival takes center stage as the crew battles both a treacherous asteroid field and internal system failures, forcing Hibiki, Dita, Gascogne, and the rest of the mixed-gender crew to set aside hostility and actually work together. The tone balances genuine tension with moments of warmth, making this one of the early episodes where the show's heart starts to show beneath its sci-fi and ecchi surface. Pacing alternates between pulse-raising action and quieter introspective beats, giving each character room to breathe. If you've been watching for the dynamic between the male and female crews, this episode delivers a meaningful step forward.
