It helps that “Space Flag” just has more laughs than the first four episodes, too. Funnier and smarter than the first four episodes, “Space Flag” makes it feel like Space Force may be turning a corner by avoiding thin political satire of the current era and reaching for something more timeless about the balance between intellect and force. While even the point structure of the war game that takes place in this episode makes it clear that it’s all about who wins on the battlefield, the decisive move comes courtesy of tech and science, in the form of Dr. Bluntly, the system favors the latter in every way, but needs the former to win the game.
The best episode so far of this high-budget Netflix Original comedy gets Space Force to the midsection of the first season with some deft commentary on the balance of science and power in our military.
