Hated this episode. It's about a boy whose father basically does traffic control for incoming and outgoing ships into Earth's orbit. I pretty much hated everything about this episode, which is a shame because space episodes are almost always my favorite. I hated how the boy was picked on by the other kids, especially the fat rich kid, for no reason. I mean, if a kid practically lived in space and came down to Earth for school, he'd be the most popular kid there! Every kid would want to hear about what it's like, but NOOOoooo. All the kids make fun of him because... reasons?? That's just one thing that bothered me. Why did Astro take the fat kid with him to follow the kidnappers?? Why would he willingly go along with his stupidity? Why was Skunk the bad guy? Again?? WHY DID HE ESCAPE AGAIN??? I hate this character so much. In fact, all the characters I hate were in this episode, and all the ones I like were absent. The only hateable character missing was Atlas, and according to the teaser for the next episode, we'll get him too. I'm so sick of them. The 1963 show didn't have these problems. I could go one about all the other things that bothered me this episode, but why bother.
