5️⃣⏹️ = MIDDLING!
Barking through time and space, one adventure at a time!
“IS THAT YOU, SUTEKH?!”
The title sounds promising, and the episode opens with space stuff, which seems nice!
Stargazing in the night! Robomen hunting our heroes! This is good stuff!
K9 bumping into the spaceship's forcefield with an audible thud made me giggle.
The plot is K9-focused, with the visiting Anubis aliens (they look silly, but are kind of Doctor Who-y) being old mates with the tin dog. They are some of the more well-rounded aliens we’ve seen so far. Their plan to take over the world goes nowhere, but at least they form more of a threat than any of the earlier foes.
The Egyptian stuff is perhaps a bit too much, even if the costumes look funny (Dull Professor rocks a new, cool look!).
I had hoped for a bit more action from this one, but they hardly do anything with the premise.
The Annoying Kid’s car performs the most underwhelming knockout I've ever seen. And Annoying Boy himself steps up to do some good for once.
