First to vote, that's also a first for me.

Anyways, as I said in chat, I enjoyed both of these quite a bit. Neither was longer than they had to be, both had plenty of enjoyable stupid action. Veir's sacrifices narrative for just dumb fun, while Alph's sets a more serious tone but it's a bit jarring when you suddenly get pulled out of it with greasy oil space niggahs. Then again, if you make less plot, you run less chance of making mistakes (looking at you, Veir).

I did enjoy Veir's more, and I'd argue his manages to get the edge on Alph's when it comes to pacing, so Veir gets my vote.
