Interesting video I saw on YouTube which definitively shows whether Nibbler’s shadow was in the original airing of the pilot. Skip to 23:50 for the answer.

    Did it all tie up? The whole steamland plotline got dropped completely by the end and that was basically half the show’s worth of plot.

      I am not sure, I was just guessing it did. The last episode just had me going, “oh, OK. Fair enough.” and didn’t really provoke any more curiosity out of me. I think between the general fractured feel of it all and duration between seasons… Should have named it Disengagement.

      I kid, sort of.

      Yeah, “tied up” just means it had an ending. I’m not sure I really even understood what really happened in that show. It felt like a new arc started before the previous was halfway through and then different subtle parts of previous arcs sorta mattered for the current, but not in any meaningful way.

        The only constant was that Magdar would show up at the last and first episodes of the season with a new random evil plan.

        The whole thing was such a mess.

          Yeah, it was really a disappointment. The humor never quite landed so I was primarily there to see what they would do with the story. While I know it ended earlier than they planned, what/how they wrapped it up showed there wasn’t too much there to begin with.

            Pretty much, you had the Magdar plot twist at the end of season 1 but everything afterwards became: Magdar is doing something bad I guess.
