“Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin”
The fun adventures of the Skeleton Crew moved on as the crew arrived at the coordinates given to them last week by Kh’ymm, only to discover that they had not arrived at At Attin.
Turned out that this was one of the other planets that was spoken about as the Jewels of the Old Republic. According to Kh’ymm last week, the Jewels of the Old Republic was a “group of planets of wonder kept hidden for their protection.” Apparently, At Attin was the only one that was saved and remained hidden.
The planet they landed on was very much like At Attin, only war torn and devastated, with the battling factions on the land.
Honestly, this felt a little rushed. I did like the use of Neel in this episode with Hayna, the daughter of the rebel force’s leader Beef. This did feel like it could have been two episodes and really mined this setting as a source.
However, we did find out much more about SM 33 and his backstory, and why he couldn’t “say I remember At Attin.” He repeated that several times through the episode and when he nearly went crazy, that scene was quite intense and scary.
This was Neel’s episode though as he came through big time in several moments. Fern was having a crisis of confidence as their attempts to find coordinates to At Attin.
The end of the episode came very suddenly and felt odd. Overall, I thought it was an entertaining thirty plus minutes, but it did seem cramped into the time frame. I would have liked more of an expansion of what we got.
