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!

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.

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.

Oh the Daniels... fully expected this episode to have at least two characters launching into the air in a fury of fists, but got a world at war. Feels about right.

Neel takes center stage in this one and show just how wonderfully sweet he is. You gotta love his little humble tenacity.

I finally realized this episode that this show isn't only a love letter to childhood, it's a love letter for parenting. Every parent can relate to knowing you are pulling all the strings and carrying all the weight, but letting the kids feel like THEY are in charge. This is their adventure. And yet the parent gets that wonderful seat of humbly knowing "yeah I did that" and not getting or needing any credit for it. You know you are the rock from which they can launch into life.

Anyone else start getting Bioshock "would you kindly" vibes from SM-33's "Can't say I remember no At Attin".

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.
