* Somewhat Fridge Awesome, but when Alex "busts the record," note that he has an important conversation with Otis about his future, then another with Maggie. Alex is barely paying attention to the game, not even ''looking at the screen'' roughly a quarter of the time. He's just so "in the zone" he's creaming a NintendoHard game on autopilot. Little wonder Centauri said he could be "the greatest Starfighter that ever lived."

** The buildup. Alex and Grig are bonding, talking about their homes and families, and Alex mentions playing hide and seek in caves, which gives him the idea to hide in the asteroid, wait for the Ko-Dan fleet to pass, then ambush them. Grig calls it a commendable plan, "too bad there are no Starfighters left to carry it out," clearly leaving the implication open for Alex. A few moments of reflection, and Alex decides to embrace the call.
