Jod betrayed us all and courageous Wim has learned nothing. The penultimate episode of Skeleton Crew left us shocked (Jod killed a defenseless man?!) and dismayed (please don't pull an Anakin 2.0, Jod!!). Why is hologram technology so prevalent? Is this the best heel turn in modern television history? How did Jod get on the Onyx Cinder? Star Wars TV, is it getting better? Rosie and Jason ponder these questions and the end of Skeleton Crew season one.
