4. Rios & The Holograms

This is definitely something that will divide viewers, but Raffi piecing Rios back together using the 5 separate holograms was a genuinely entertaining piece of writing. He'd given each one a specific role on the ship, but also an element of his personality and memory, and by getting them all together (in a surprisingly funny scene given the subject matter) she's able to get through the real version.

Rios started as a bad seen-it-all-maaaaan cliche but has quickly evolved into a really warm, layered character. His relationships with the rest of the crew, as well as his own past and vulnerabilities, have given us some of the best moments of the show so far.
