AKA: I Only Want My Rightful Dues
The Skeksis don't seem like very formidable adversaries. They're slow, weak and rotting and they make the battle comical. On the plus side, skekOk isn't quite as harmless as he appears.
Back in the castle, skekTek pretends to be the Emperor. Either that or he's channeling his inner Steve Whitmire. Note how he repeats the very words skekZok said before the scientist's eye was gouged out.
Oh, skekTek. You may not be the most abused creature in all Thra, but your percieved slights against you are not without proof.
There's a great scene where skekSo reveals he has anxiety dreams. The exchange between him and skekVar is astonishingly philosophical. Although it does bring to mind Rasputin's song from 'Anastasia'.
I didn't take the Garthim seriously when I saw 'The Dark Crystal'. But when the first Garthim scuttled out onto the balcony, I got chills. All of a sudden, that thing looked so cool.
