space force is a show on netflix! it has a 10 episodes, and it's a sitcom about the space force division of the u.s. government (it also has steve carell, the dude from the office). it was created by the same guy who helped create parks and rec and the office (greg daniels!). following that train of thought, there are a few thing that you should keep in mind before you watch

im not even going to sugar-coat this warning: the show is not good
the show itself is confusing and boring at times. there are some jokes that don't land well, and there are some moments where you think "yikes, they shouldn't have put that in the script." but then again, every greg daniels comedy has a shaky start. i mean, i don't think i've ever met anybody who's truthfully said "i love season 1 of the office!"
honestly, i don't remember most of the plot of the show; yet here i am, trying to convince you to watch it.

the show itself may be bad, but the characters (specifically f. tony, angela, and dr. chan) are really neat! i've had many people start the show and tell me that they only finished for these three characters.

plus! when this show improves (as greg daniels shows usually do), then you can claim that you stuck it through and you were one of the first ones here! here being the space force fandom, which is full of lovely people!

(2022 update: s2 still is not good but its way better than s1 so uh maybe season 3 will be better???)

most importantly, i've managed to rope people into watching space force by talking about chantony, aka these two dudes pictured above! also if you're a sapphic, like i am, or if you like poe dameron from star wars, i can promise you that you will love angela ali.

if you're here and wondering what the hell chantony is, fear not! here's everything you need to know about chantony

chantony is the ship name for dr. chan and f. tony in the show space force. and yes, they only have one episode together but they're the one of the only reasons space force is still relevant on stan twit.

their first interaction is in episode 2 aka the stupid idiot chimp episode but their first official episode together (and only episode together) is episode 6: the spy.

first interaction:
f tony: i knew that chimp. i run his facebook page.
chan: yeah, i know. i follow it.

episode 6: the spy has four chantony scenes and the basic plot is that chan and tony have to come up with a birthday present for the president
(if you don’t want spoilers for episode 6, skip these next two parts!)

tony comes to ask chan for help and chan, at first, doesn't take tony seriously and isn't super willing to help. however, as they brainstorm ideas together, chan slowly warms up to tony.

chan and tony come up with the idea to name a star after the president and present the idea to some random white dude who works for the president (im pretty sure it was the secretary of state or something). they're both really excited about the idea but the guy isn't too stoked.

chan and tony later find out that the guy took credit for the idea. tony's upset and chan comforts him by telling him that the star "is a gas giant. when it explodes in 20 billion years, we'll get the last laugh."
and then comes the softest scene ever:

tony: we did good right?
chan hands tony a piece of cake and smiles.
chan: we did great.

so they're space boyfriends?

that's right! they may only have 5 mins of screentime together but they have great chemistry.

chan goes from not wanting to help tony to being excited to present a project with tony by his side, and the chantony arc is by far the smoothest relationship arc in the series.

(this is a good time to put in the joke "fellas, is it gay to brush a loose strand of hair out of your boy's face?" because that's exactly what tony does when chan and tony first meet)

plus, chan and angela are the epitome of wlw and mlm solidarity

the complete list of (approximate) time stamps for s1 chantony scenes:

episode 2
22:44 - 22:51 (chimp facebook page)

episode 6
12:22 - 13:21 (first meeting)
18:22 - 19:12 (brainstorming session)
24:21 - 25:25 (presenting the gift)
30:20 - 31:03 (sharing cake)
