So, now that Mandy is now a tin can again, we go back to that beach where, uh, you know, the giant sea crocodile thing…

Sorry, people. I am still recovering from the sight of Baby doing this somersault or back flip or whatever that action is supposed to be. It’s horrible. Baby is so obviously a prop in that scene that is lifted either by strings or some guy that was eventually CGI’ed out, and that is that very moment when I realize I can never again admit to anyone that I watch this thing or I’d be laughed out of the room.

Who let that scene happen? Was Victoria Alonso involved in Lucasfilm too, and if yes, was this why she was fired? “Look, we could forgive MODOK because maybe you’re drunk or high when you okay’ed that one, but this? This is the last straw! Security, escort her out now!”

Oh, and the guy that played Jar Jar Binks is back as Kelleren Beq, the guy that rescued Baby in the past. Yes, we are delving into Baby’s flashbacks now. No doubt Beq is meant to be a great apology to Mr Ahmed after the way he was clobbered all those years ago for doing exactly what the script asked him to, but the way things are in The Foundling, those scenes feel like more filler in an episode that has so far introduced two different subplots but the previous one seems to have been forgotten entirely in this one.

I’m not going to lie, though: that guy looks pretty hot in those scenes.

So yes, the first half of this episode is about Baby becoming an honorary tin can or something, which is never going to be taken seriously after that scene.

The second half… well, in spite of being attacked by a giant sea crocodile just a while ago, the tin cans still insist on training by the beach, even letting their kids run wild while wearing those too-big tin cans that will surely make it hard to see anything.

Surprise! This time a giant pteranodon-thing swoops down and grabs off a kid. As usual, the tin cans are pretty useless as they run out of fuel in their flying backpack things.

Just like in that previous episode, this time around, once again they are lucky in that Bo-Katty is somehow still around in her space ship. I’m not sure why she’s still here. Maybe she’s taking her time to take saucy videos and pics of her helmet-free head to post on the tin can fan site OnlyCans when she hears the commotion.

Anyway, she tracks down the flying dinosaur, and instead of flying straight there with all the firepower these tin cans can muster, they decide they have to quietly sneak up on it.

So, they make the trek that surely must take some time—surely, time enough for the kid to be dinosaur chow—but anyway, once they have filled up enough screen time, they rescue the kid, who somehow is still alive. Maybe the dinosaur was lonely and just wanted a friend, and the tin cans have ruined everything, those bastards.

Well, that’s it for this episode. I have no idea what I’ve just watched, only that it’s a display of budget CGI that turns this show into a meme and a whole lot of nothing burger.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this episode could have used a whole lot more of Ahmed Best and far, far less of the incompetent tin cans that can’t seem to do anything right.
