I like Crossbell a lot, but I'm not gonna pretend it didn't set a bunch of shitty precedent for the series going forward: the massive upswing in tech and modernity fucking up the setting, the proto-bonding events relegating interesting character backstories in mutually exclusive missable scenes, and the roughshod state it left the overarching story in by making the first half of CS a foregone conclusion.
