3. Storytelling
One of the most enjoyable aspects of Stargazers is how writer Jarrett Melendez uses a variety of storytelling tools to keep things properly paced. The medium is static, but it doesn't feel that way when you're interacting with the story.
The characters are so rich, and Melendez reminds us of the setting in Stargazers episode No. 23 through each (such as Kenga being a Changeling and having to revert to her liquid form, like Odo, at the end of the sleepover). Melendez doesn't abandon the side characters as the story progresses, even though relationships and attitudes change.
The romantic tale Melendez spins is realistic and beautiful, from Leon and Syrrik allowing themselves to be vulnerable as they share a bed during the night to establishing their relationship in front of their friends. The author's way of storytelling makes you care about these young men as they navigate their future. Will they have a happy ending? Only time will tell!
I have no more insights to share for now, but join us again soon for another episode review of this highly-enjoyable YA tale. Until then, my friends, visit the Redshirts Always Die Facebook and X pages to leave your comments on Stargazers No. 23.
