168. Skeleton Crew: S1E3 "Very Interesting, As An Astrogration Problem" Recap and Discussion
Episode description
Who made the mistake at Disney Plus and typed in "astrogRation" instead of "astrogation" and does it really matter? Is At-Attin the treasure planet from "Treasure Planet" or are the people of the last remaining "jewel of the Old Republic" just money changers? Is Jod a former Jedi? What was going on between Crimson Jack and Kh'ymm? Can we just call her an owlcat or is that too easy? Will Fern ever stop trying to be like her mom? Will Wim ever grow up? Will Nooma get Neel some nasal strips for that snore? What's wrong with K-B, according to her parents, because she seems like the most put together of the core four? Is the Supervisor someone or a species we already know or is it a droid with a personality? Are the rest of the hidden planets really destroyed or is that just more propaganda? What IS the Great Work?Do I have answers for all these questions? Yes. Are they the correct ones? I don't know.Episode 3 of Skeleton Crew brings more fun and more questions. I don't know how well the show is doing, but I do want another season, even though I have no idea how that would go. My hope is the kids just want to go on an adventure and find the other planets, because as it turns out, no one can find them to tell them its safe to come out of hiding. Well, is it safe to come out of hiding? The poor kids get to find out their school on At-Attin has missed some galactic sized events.Jude Law is very solid as the adult lead. The kids are more than alright. The writing has been very good and the action fun. The plot continues to unfold. Did we mention the aurabesh? There's so much aurabesh.Hats off to David Lowery. Excellent back-to-back episodes leading into a hand off to "the Daniels" (Kwan and Scheinert).
