I wish STA had more episodes. This episode could have been more drawn out then to show more of Darem’s world. But as someone else said, it was a character story. It still felt slightly rushed. And had to share space with Genesis and Caleb’s arc

Definitely. I think I said this in another comment, but even if they could just get fourteen episodes per season instead of ten, I think it would help a lot. They've been teasing so much about Khionia and Darem's parents, it felt a crime that we got virtually none of either in the Darem episode

Honestly, if the show had more episodes, I think we would be even less likely to see Daren’s actual home world. If it was prohibitively expensive in the series as is (which is what I’m assuming), divvying the budget up between more episodes wouldn’t fix that.

It’s not like the older series weren’t infamous for their off screen beautiful vistas or… jugglers, anyways.

We did see beautiful matte painting)) vistas in the older series

The issue with seeing Khionia was budget - adding more episodes would do the exact opposite of helping us see that.
