WASHINGTON — Amid the growing pains that come with being a new military branch, the U.S. Space Force is trying to establish its brand and build an identity. “The amount of work that we’ve done in three years is absolutely eye-watering to me, but we’re still trying to figure out how to navigate” within the large military bureaucracy, said Lt.

Because what writers in their right mind would allow their star couple to break a love curse only three episodes into the season? But knowing we should have expected it doesn’t make it hurt any less. Oh, and talk about pain. In this one hour, they gave Nace fans many of the moments we’d been hoping to see, only to snatch it all away. But let’s concentrate on the good stuff first.
