Skeleton Crew Pirates Review: Uncover the Secrets of Pirates in Only Comic Universe
Season 1 Episode 5 of Skeleton Crew takes our heroes to a seemingly pleasant world that will test them like never before.
Let’s dive into what we liked about this episode:
1. The parents taking matters into their own hands adds an eerie and sinister aspect to the story, making it more intriguing.
2. Despite Jod’s questionable pep talk, the Jedi references and talk of attachment were interesting, even though we’re left wanting more explanation about who Jod really is.
3. The arrival of the ship and the threat it poses by destroying the escort ships was a small but impactful moment that sets the tone for the danger ahead.
Now, onto what we didn’t like:
1. Jod’s betrayal felt predictable, and we hoped for a twist where he would genuinely help the kids. It would have added more depth to his character.
2. Wim’s struggling with the lightsaber felt a bit unrealistic, but the scene did lead to an intriguing development with Jod taking possession of the saber.
Favorite moment:
The crew’s discovery of the hidden lair containing the At Attin location was a thrilling moment, especially with Jod’s quick puzzle-solving skills and the reveal of a lightsaber. It leaves us hungry for more.
Standout character:
While Jod stood out in this episode, his actions didn’t necessarily make us root for him this time.
In conclusion, Episode 5 of Skeleton Crew had some great moments but felt like a slow start with a predictable outcome. Despite our expectations, it fell short compared to previous episodes, earning it a rating of 5.6/10.
