Skeleton Crew's sixth episode managed to show that differences between two groups of friends aren't always different from the differences between two groups of pirates. Sometimes the one in charge isn't a good listener. Jod avoided an airlock execution and the kids managed to stay off a scrap heap and away from killer crabs. "Zero Friends Again" won't likely be called the favorite episode of the series, but it has plenty going for it. Just two episodes remain for the "core four" to get home and Jod to redeem himself. Will he?
It seems like we're leaving Lanupa behind. Is At Attin next? It probably is, if the pirates are en route, because that sets up a planetary defense to close out the show. Fern learned to listen more and Wim may be too trusting, but that's not always the worst thing. Neel is a good friend and KB may be the one that has all the answers, even if her augments sometimes make sharing those answers difficult for her. Jod? He's between At Attin and an airlock, so he had to do what he could to survive, but maybe that's what he's been doing his whole life.
We hope you enjoyed New Years Eve! This is the Way Podcast HQ celebrated by watching the episode with two new young fans of the show and fireworks were going off outside while recording. We wanted to get fresh thoughts recorded and start 2025 off with Star Wars!
