When we first meet Doohan, Spike makes some comment about how he’s “still trying to get that old antique airborne.” Could mean anything, really. And then there are some visual hints. (Note that when you’re actually watching the show, you only get to see these images for, like, a second each.)

The next few posts will be interesting for sure, Pierrot le Fou, Brain Scratch, and of course The Real Folk Blues are all to come. I wonder what you’ll make of Boogie Woogie Feng Shui as well (since nobody else has seemed to make much of it).
Damn I wish that poster were as exciting as it looks (like Avatar mixed with Explosives: a match made in heaven).
I think the creators recognized that the guys weren’t really Space Pirates, hence the session’s title. They’re Horse Thieves In Space! And as every Cowboy knows, there is absolutely NOTHING COOL about horse thieves.
