“The Search for Captain Tim”

Captain Tim is a loyal pet to Lord Hater for whenever he gets down on his day One day, Captain Tim goes missing and orders the watchdogs to find his bestest pal. Turns out, Haters’ loyal subjects has always hated the little guy, so Hater opts to go out on his own to find Tim.

Enter Ripa, an alien hunter that is looking to destroy Captain Tim, but Hater decides to team up with her to get an extra set of eyes. We come to learn that Tim may have gone back to his hoe world for some sort of mating ritual, but when Hater shows up, Tim gets the shit kicked out of him. Ripa decides to clean house, but just as she is going to finish Tim once and for all, she and Hater get into a big fight that sees us come face-to-face with the queen. Before you know it, Tim, Peepers, Wander, and Sylvia all show up and get caught in the queen’s web. Tim shows up and opts to mate with the queen…or does he? Nope…instead the loyal Tim frees everyone from captivity and Hater gets his pet back.

Our Take

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Lord Hater which isn’t common. Usually the Hater episodes involve the evil Lord whining about something for a good majority of the episode until he gets his way, and that’s what we got this week. Nice cameos at the end, and the recurring bit with Commander Tim was funny, but nothing out of the ordinary

Score

The Heebie Jeebies”

Wander’s really scared of a dark and eerie forest planet, but Sylvia attempts to make the usually happy wanderer face his fears while they search for a mystical power. We eventually come in contact with the power, but with the power of courage, Sylvia and Wander cast the spirits away.

Our Take

While it certainly didn’t seem like we got a lot, this was actually the better of the two episodes. It isn’t often we get a supernatural aspect to Wander Over Yonder and this one works. It also isn’t often where we come across jobs that Wander simply doesn’t want to do, which always offers a nice change of pace. Kind of a simple premise, yes, but a bit more unique as compared to what we’ve been getting lately.

Score
