I think it's clear that, much like Nog in "It's Only A Paper Moon", the cadets (particularly Tarima) have not been receptive to conventional therapy, which is extremely predictive of whether said therapy will be effective.
Fair point. I'm sure my thoughts on this episode will soften over time (they always do), but I think my dislike of both the character of Tarima and the way she is played are making it hard for me to be invested in her story lines.
I didn't expect this one to be quite as divisive as it seems to be!
But yeah, I can see why it would clang if you're not feeling the characters involved. I'm sort of in the same space with Darem right now.
Tarima is messy, but it's a very familiar kind of messy to me. Zoe Steiner is definitely taking a unique approach to the character, but it's mostly working for me. I thought her scene with Caleb in the botanical lab was quite well done, and not an easy task.
