Skeleton Crew Neel (spoilers)

I don’t know what funny joke to put here, but discuss the elephant boy.

 

I like him. Seems like an overall nice guy and good straight man for the others to play off.

 

Neel is easily my favorite character so far. Maybe it's just cuz he's an elephant guy but you know what? Why shouldn't I like him more just because he's an Elephant Guy?

 

He must be protected at all costs.

 

Neel seems to be the oldest of four kids, and has an inclination towards responsibility and maturity. When the little rat pops out of SM33’s dome he adopts it, showing his empathy. He’s loyal to his friend Wim but doesn’t hesitate to disagree. This could mean eventual conflict with Fern who is a headstrong leader.

 

Exclusive footage of Neel from the next episode...

 

He is such a lovable blue guy

 

I love he’s got the side part happening in his hair, little nerd.

 

Best lines in the whole show now, his blurting out his crush was awesome. I have been wondering wasn't it recently established that Max Rebo has like his feet for his hands that he plays the keys with or whatever, and Neel and his family are bipeds, or are they different sub species?

 

I fear that's one of those things where long-held Star Wars fanon has now trumped the original filmmakers' intent that was left un-obvious for many years.

 

See there's a article by Pablo Hidalgo from 2013 that points out Max is supposed to just have two limbs he walks and plays the keys with. Which everyone I guess eventually accepted but Neel and family undo that

 

Did anyone else notice the altar to Blue Elephant Jesus in Neel’s parents’ workshop?

 

Yeah, it looks like he's holding six mugs of spotchka.

 

Yeah I would gladly drink one right now after this not so pleasant day at work Ehehe I thought that was more of a Oktoberfest like poster for a elephant man cave but I may have to rewatch!

 

Yeah, I was trying to figure out if it was Blue Elephant Jesus or Blue Elephant Beer Guy. Or both.

 

I mean I would be in for a new religion starring blue elephant beer Jesus holding always filled splotchka mugs for everyone!

 

Perhaps the miracle of turning water into spotchka is something commemorated in the holy texts of the Blue Elephants. Who knows, that guy might even be the fabled "Good Elephant" from the apocrypha known as the Backstroke of the West...

 

In reality it’s probably closer to Ganesh, but the altar was laid out in a Murica **** Yeah type garage workshop in a Jesus looking way and it got a chuckle from me

 

Little young for that...but maybe Roona notices him and talks to him first.

 

Wookieepedia sez that Chee said they weren't Ortolans. Which I think is cool; there are a zillion species that are essentially fancy humans, so why not have multiple blue proboscidean species running around? Also teddy bears. We need more teddy bear species.

 

Yeah, they look pretty different from the Ortolans we know. Apart from being blue and elephantine, that is.

 

The next Jedi grandmaster! He will wield three lightsabers using his trunk when he is older!!!!!

 

Can you imagine Neel turning to the dark side? Cuz I can't. I just can't.

 

No. But I could sees his little siblings turning into an evil darksider gang. Little blue elephant demons with red lightsabers slicing off people’s ankles.
