the spinning concentric circles thing reminds me of the launchpad from Contact. I don't know if that was an inspiration/plagiarism thing between Sagan and Asimov and/or the films.

didn't they pretty much break this rule by like episode 2 or something? Demerzel was leading the goon squad that shot up the lab (?) when they were investigating the Star Bridge bombing. if she's been the Empire's right hand muscle for centuries, then she's probably got like thousands of kills under her belt.
anyhow the Cleon stuff continues to be so much better than the other stories with the two Chosen Ones. even then, they sort of ruin the ending by assuming the audience is dumb as rocks, and explicitly showing that Brother Day didn't experience a salt cave vision. because it wasn't obvious enough when Demerzel slapped him around at dinner.
Gaal is annoying cause she does nothing but whine now (and is gone for another century...yay?). I know it's not the same series or character, but we had Naomi from Expanse stuck on a ship she couldn't control for like half of last season, and she used sheer force of will to fix an unresolvable situation. that's a protagonist I can get behind, not prime number Jedi crybaby.
Grand Huntress is equally annoying because her entire performance consists of alternating between scowl and s--- eating grin. this should be someone we almost sympathize with since her planet got half bombed out of existence but no, she sucks and I just want her entire race to die. also, the weapons they used against Anacreon looked like each hit was Castle Bravo sized or bigger, yet she just came out looking like Two-Face Lite while her friend/brother was utterly vaporized 50 meters away.
