Would make the show watchable and cut like half the time.

The two speeches that really bugged me were at the ends(?) of seasons 2 and 4. They may or may not have been good, but I just couldn't focus on them because they had spent the past few episodes building up the pressure that this team was under to save the galaxy FAST, and then suddenly they decide to spend 5 minutes just chilling and talking about how important their job is while Control or the DMA is about to kill everyone.

I think I probably would have been fine with them if they were much shorter or appeared in an earlier episode.
