Skeleton Crew Season 1, Episode 4: Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin

What exactly went wrong on At Achrann? We have some theories…

In this week’s episode, our recap of “Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin” (Skeleton Crew S1, E4) opens up a conversation that starts with the Kardashev Scale, bounces through the hypocrisy of child soldiers, and brings us around to exploring the deeper mysteries of At Attin. 

We also talk through the importance of great societal works, clues to Skeleton Crew’s timeline, and the uneasiness of elite combat veterans who are no more than 13 years old.

Check out the extended notes for the many books and movies we referenced this episode.
