I didn't realize this was releasing, so I binged and got all caught up.

Where is Sylvia Tilly? I thought the whole point of her being an instructor at the Academy was so she'd be here.

Also, what's up with Captain Ake being...extremely unprofessional? Not to say I need my captains to always be stoic. But I feel there is some hypocrisy with how she acts and also dressed down Mir for not standing at attention, when she's lazying around the captain's chair or running around barefoot.

I can understand cadets being unprofessional, and needing to be broken in, but when the ranking officer is too... something don't feel right.

The entire premise of high school/college drama and tropes, I'm not against this. It's not as artificial as I sometimes feel it can be in media target at young adults, but it also is a little bit... Which is slightly bothersome, but I feel they're also handling it well because it does appear to come with some character growth, but my fear is that that growth is coming too quick and they'll just reset some character growth back to give themselves room to have character drama.

I don't know where I stand on this series just yet. It's not bad though.

Where is Sylvia Tilly?

She was only ever announced as a guest star (which is bizarre), and one report has suggested that she'll only be in one episode this season (which is...bizarrer).

Mary Wiseman was at the premier though, so I assume she's on good terms with everyone. Maybe we'll see more of her in season two.
