ALL FINS ON DECK
All the kids are getting set to vacation with the best of them on a big cruise ship, that is until those jerk geckos take off with out them! As such, Milo decides to take the reigns as the pirate captain of another rescue boat so as to get back their cruise ship. On the way, Milo and crew come head to head with the ‘perfect storm’ but thankfully the shop owner comes to the rescue.
Eventally, Milo decides to hop off the rescue boat and get on the cruise ship disguised as the mermaid but the geckos pretty much recognize him right off the bat and soon threaten to tie up the little blue bastard for some party piñata! But, when the geckos attempt to put on their blindfolds, Milo kicks all their asses off his cruise ship and saves the party!
Cattlefish, Ho!
Milo, Bea and the gang are helping move a bunch of ‘cattlefish’ to a new farm and Milo loves it because he thinks he’s the best cowboy ever. But, when opportunities show up to help Milo show off, he always screws them up much to the chagrin of the other cowboys. Everything from lassoing ‘cattlefish’ to dealing with rattlesnakes, and cooking dinner…Milo can’t get anything right!
Unfortunately, a cat crawls up to the outside of the fish tank scaring the hell out of the cattlefish so much that they bust out and are flopping all over the floor causing everybody the trouble of having to wrangle everyone of them up and throw them back in the tank. However, it turns out its Milo’s tears that lead the cattle to all come together in a straight line long enough for all of them to be tossed back in he tank and safely to their destination.
“All Fins On Deck” was a great episode mainly headed up by Milo which makes sense cuz he freakin’ rules! A lot of good subtle jokes here, clearly taking cues from movies like Perfect Storm and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End plus Milo’s obvious depiction of Ariel of The Little Mermaid made this one of the most fun episodes of the season. On the other hand, I was none too crazy about “Cattlefish, Ho” because it wasn’t all that funny despite Milo’s best efforts. As a matter of fact it was plain Jane if you ask this cowboy.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
