Skeleton Crew Episode 6 LIVE Reaction and Review!

Did y’all notice Rennod’s words from the hologram. He said, “the ships all clad in armor and ready to make the trip”. so the emergency button must of just shed off all the extra armor he had put on the ship to storm At Attin. I love how so many things in this show that don’t appear to be much, end up coming back around to have a big impact. The writing has been superb! I think this show could’ve benefited from squeezing it into 6 episodes. Maybe All 45-55 minutes episodes.

Could definitely see what you mean about making this more like an event series, and we'd love longer runtimes, but there's a whole lot on At-Attin with the Supervisor and the parents' plot that these last two episodes seemingly will be a big focus in the final stretch

I really have mad respect for your guys channel. I think we have very similar Star Wars interest. I like EU-High republic novels. Where y’all from? I noticed you said the west coast. I live in Austin TX now, but moved here bout 4 years ago. I’m from Orange County California .y’all near there?

Overall had much the same feelings towards this ep as you two. This was the most “D+” of the series in that it got to the end and was like ‘already ? / that’s it ?’. But nowhere near as frustrating as Acolyte ep4 was. What we got here though, I enjoyed. Dug the kids breaking off and then coming together w/ Fern being the one to push the button this time enabling the crew to shed it’s chrysalis. Personally, I was expecting Wim to get some heat from the group or more specifically from Neel for plunging them into an uncertain at best but most likely deadly fate by triggering the trap door. It was protecting Rennod’s log after all so the likely outcome was to be impaled on spikes or into an acid bath. I can’t think of an analog to this on other media that have similar scenes. The ANH jailbreak into the trash compactor is just a leap into the unknown that turns out to be a new problem, not a trap set that designed to protect something. Luke’s leap at the end of ESB is a conscious choice to take his chances on survival & death being preferable to leaving w/ dear ol dad. Indy in the Well of Souls in Raiders using the statue to break through the wall is sorta similar but again that’s a calculation on the shock of the collision buying him some time. So Wim doing what he did just seems reckless to me. Better to stick w/ Jod for now than be plunged into acid 🤷‍♂️. As it happens it was just Capt’n Willie’s jumbo slide to outside, no biggie. But very befitting of a donneR. As for KB, I wasn’t as caught off guard by this. I didn’t yet really understand why she was worried about the steam and such but I had noted several occasions where Fern puts KB “on point” so to speak. One example being last ep when they’re all talking about turning 33 back on and Fern tells KB to do it & KB flashes her a look as if to say ‘WTF? Do it yourself!’ During a recent rewatch I think I may have spotted some slap ball. In ep 1 after school when Wim & Neel are talking about assessment in the background there’s a group standing in a circle w/ a ball droid in the air in the center & one of the kids gets smacked in the head by it. No evidence of the hand gestures that Neel exhibited in ep4 but until proven otherwise this is slap ball to me. This post is already a bit lengthy for U📺 so I won’t get into the why but when SW was George’s I was never really interested in the EU. The HR is really the first time I’ve dove into reading SW since SotME & HS@SE (which I struggled to really see as a part of George’s SW) & I so ironically I can see myself wading into it in the Dis era freed from the creators voice being the definitive one. All that to say I don’t usually wade into “what balance is” discussions online. But I think there is some value in it not being definitive so that different creators can explore different aspects & analogies. However, I do think that Yoda’s arc in TCW S6 is informative. Particularly him confronting his shadow & not letting it control him but not denying it as a part of him either & rather incorporating it. It comes up again & again throughout SW. The Sith being the shadow of the Jedi themselves that has been cleaved from them.
