I need to get this out of the way first. I tried to watch the episode at 2 something in the morning, and man, did this screw with my head. I went to bed thinking I was so overly tired, that the characters were speaking some odd language. Well, at 11:30 in the morning, they were speaking the same language! Yeah. I was a little relieved.
So, this episode starts out with the Sugarbellies helping the gang to help them fix their planet, I think. Danny is in a spacesuit with an electrical plug on its back and heads to the moon of the planet. Wallow heads to a mechanical planet, while Chris and Beth head to what seems to be the Sugarbelly home world. Danny trips and falls into a crevice, and finds the electrical outlet the plug goes into. Wallow has problems with mechanical pitbulls in bowl jets. He triggers something in Danny’s space suit that resembles an electric dog. The dog makes friendly with the robo-pits. That clears the way for Wallow to trigger the mech suit and controller so he can flip the switches. That just leaves Chris and Beth with the Sugarbellies, who revere Chris, but loathe Beth. They let Chris paint symbols on their chests, so they can be put in their pipe-organ. Chris is having problems playing the right song, so Beth gets in to play. This makes the Sugarbellies not happy. Beth plays the song right, except there is no last note. She gets the last note right, and everything is well. And everyone can talk again.
This episode had me so confused at first, both times I watched it. I love the chances that writer Breehn Burns takes with this show. You would almost never hear this dialogue on regular television, because no higher-up will get it. I have more of a background with the comics, and the writing here is definitely on par with them. Don’t worry, that’s a good thing. The story did a very good job with conveying what needed to get done through actions. It kind of had to, since there was no discernible dialogue until the last 30 seconds or so of the episode. The pacing seemed good, once you got past the “what the hell is going on?” feeling you get when the episode comes on. Check it out, it’s worth the 7 minutes, for sure.
"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
