Can't Say I Remember No At Attin

Dialogue was very clumsy - introduction to a planet and resolution in 30 minutes is not enough time to properly flesh out a story, as a result it just comes across very cheesy and forced. This was a really poor episode, I hope the following episodes are either long or spend more than one episode at a given location. The ending was really weak as well, no cliff hanger just an abrupt finish to the episode. Let's hope the rest of the series is better. The first 3 episodes started off strong.

Now I'm just filling up space to reach the pointless six hundred character limit. Ring a ring a roses a pocket full of...

Ok I think the kids won't mind it, but for me as an adult this is the lowest point. It feels very rushed, no fleshing out, no development and a very bad ending of the episode. The problem is also very fast fixed with a weird solution.

So there are a few stories going on, much we don't know. But I hope we don't get the same story as with the acolyte: there is a good story but it is told wrong.

I must say that the kids are still doing great. I am in doubht if I want to watch it further. Hopefully episode 5 will make it better. Something that slides down can also picking up momentum to slide up again, who knows.

There is a touch of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica. Where the crew land in a planet which they think it is Earth.

Only it is a similar planet ravaged by nuclear destruction.

Here the kids think they have arrived at At Attin. Close but no cigar. It superficially seems close to their home planet. SM-33 keeps mentioning he has no knowledge of At Attin.

In this planet the kids get separated from Jod Na Nawood. They encounter the locals but it seems this planet is engaged in a civil war. Even the kids have taken sides.

As a result their is a warlike stance taken by the locals as well as kids going hungry.

The story is thin but it is best to view this as a romp that would keep the kids happy. I did not feel that engaged with it. Jod gets a bit of character development as he tries to reunite with the kids.

Episode 4 takes a more introspective turn, focusing on character development over action. Neel stands out as the philosophical heart of the group, delivering moments of deep reflection that add emotional weight to the story. This emphasis on introspection showcases the series' potential for mature storytelling, but it comes at the cost of pacing and the sense of wonder that defined the earlier episodes.

The episode feels less like Star Wars and more like a standard fantasy tale, with its connection to the iconic galaxy far, far away growing tenuous. The vibrant energy and magical charm of the first three episodes are noticeably absent, leaving the narrative feeling somewhat flat. While Neel's standout performance offers meaningful depth, the episode ultimately struggles to engage, making it the weakest of the series so far. Though there's value in its introspective approach, it risks losing the core magic that defines Star Wars.

I am still with Skeleton Crew but for me this was the weakest entry so far due to the pacing issues.

The overarching narrative of the adventure is moving as slow as you would expect of a story being spread over a season of streaming television. Arguably we have not moved far considering the story started four episodes ago and you feel like you want to see characters develop further and the adventure hit some momentous events.

Ironically, as a standalone plot, Can't Say I Remember No At Attin, feels rushed considering it introduces is a new location and characters. It sets up a premise, introduces characters, then resolves it and moves on pretty quickly.

That being said there are some good moments that I enjoyed, mostly involving Jude Law and Nick Frost.

Visually, it is excellent as you would expect from Star Wars.
