Can't Say I Remember No At Attin

Not entirely sure I like this episode more than the first 3, but I really do enjoy this show so far! And Neel is such an adorably precious soul that I can't get enough of! Having this episode center on him was a good choice! But the thing that really stood out to me was the acting chops of Ryan Kiera Armstrong! Fern is a character I wasn't too keen on at first, but Armstrong's performance in that one scene provided the major shift I needed to really turn around on her. Overall, not the best episode, and admittedly, as fun as this show has been, there hasn't been a real stand out episode yet! Nonetheless, I'm still enjoying it and am excited to see where we go from here!

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...

A few more thoughts on Skeleton Crew. In a previous review, I complimented the series for bringing back some energy to Disney Star Wars and left it at that.

Last night, I had nothing else to watch, so I tuned in again-and it struck me how quickly the show becomes generic when the storyline lacks kinetic momentum, its weaker aspects show.

The clunky, halting interactions with the soldiers and the moral lessons, the humor-which started reasonably strong with good timing-lost its edge here. The blandness of the children's characters also becomes noticeable when they're not supported by stronger staging. Neel is the only one I find effective and endearing.

As for SM-33: I thought he worked well when he exuded a certain level of menace. He even had a bit of an ABC Warrior-like vibe. But the mix of comic relief and the earthly pirate design- an android with a peg leg? No thanks.

The story is just good enough to keep things moving. But I'm getting older, and I must conclude that, with the OT, films like E. T., and shows like Fraggle Rock in mind, it seems the art of immersing young audiences in an intimate sense of adventure has not yet been rediscovered.

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.

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.
