1x08 - "...And His Two Men and a Baby"
Episode Discussion

Tom's (Tian Richards) mysterious guardian angel Rowan (Albert Mwangi) makes an urgent plea for help
in rescuing a missing scientist targeted by the same anti-tech conspiracy that sabotaged Barton Swift's ship.
When the Squad embarks on this mission, a surprising secret comes to light
and brings Tom and Rowan closer than ever before.
Meanwhile, Zenzi's (Ashleigh Murray) simmering feelings for Isaac (Marquise Vilsón)
are complicated by a bold move from Congressman Eskol (guest star Ward Horton).

The episode title totally makes it sound like they'll be babysitting

**broken crown** · 07-17-2022, 07:03 PM

I wonder if the baby is also Tom and Rowan/Isaac have to babysit him?

**gold-steps** · 07-17-2022, 07:12 PM

Honestly that tracks

**broken crown** · 07-17-2022, 07:29 PM

I just feel like it's taking SOOO LONG to get the the freaking point! Where's the urgency with the capsule pieces?

Also...we've barely seen him go after them?

**gold-steps** · 07-17-2022, 08:13 PM

I was thinking the show would be like a road trip of them traveling around to find the ASAP but yeah they have very little urgency. It seems like they won't even find them all by the last episode.

**broken crown** · 07-17-2022, 08:18 PM

Yes! Like Blood & Treasure on Paramount + (used to be on CBS)...where they go around the globe trying to chase down artifacts and stop global conspiracies.

They just wanted this show to be TOO MANY different shows all tat once and it just didn't work.

tftnt!

I agree, it seems they tried everything at once to see what worked best and i guess they were going to go in that direction for s2

**broken crown** · 07-18-2022, 04:52 PM

I think it honestly reeks of too many cooks in the kitchen too. They really wanted Gossip Girl...with a slight "conspiracy" twist...but they didn't make it dark enough either.

**gold-steps** · 07-18-2022, 06:53 PM

Yeah I think they just tried to do too much. It's like gossip girl but with a secret society (can't wait to see how they resolve that

) and conspiracy theories and it just doesn't work.

**broken crown** · 07-18-2022, 07:03 PM

OMG...Gossip Girl with a Secret Society....

Have you ever seen...

**gold-steps** · 07-18-2022, 07:19 PM

Oooo I have not but yeah it looks like exactly what I was describing

**broken crown** · 07-18-2022, 07:41 PM

OMFG...it's exactly what you think it is. You should definitely watch it. I'm pretty sure ther were a couple straight to video sequels too.

There are two DTV Skulls sequels.

The original has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I owned the DVD for years, then replaced it with the HD version. Even a B movie took these things more seriously. Tom Swift could be a sitcom at this point. As much as I hate the powerful conspiracy group trope in general. If they are going to be the main villain, the television series must be a serious show.
