Ninjago Season 1, Episode 3: Snakebit

Welcome! I have a theory about this episode. I think it might involve snakes somehow and--wait, bear with me--snakes biting people. I dunno, might be a stretch. Let's see, shall we? (By the way, if you missed episode 2, you can find it here)

We begin:

  • Oh shit I forgot that our heroes randomly live on a ship now. That they just found. Did they even check if someone already owned it, or were they just like "the falcon said it's fine."

  • Wow, Wu, not cool. Not cool at all. Nobody should be woken up that early in the morning, and if you have to wake them up, don't do it with a freaking gong.

  • Where did they all get colour-coded pajamas? Can I have colour-coded pajamas?

  • Do they even have mattresses? Honestly from here it looks like they were just sleeping on the wood.

  • They just went to sleep without checking things out and making sure stuff worked? Like the plumbing?

  • Or the floor?

  • Side note: of course Zane is a morning person.

  • Oh no! Chores! The worst thing imaginable!

  • Oh no what are you doing

  • Why tf would spinjitsu help you do chores what no no why this is the worst

  • WHY IS THERE A COMPUTER AND ELECTRICITY WHAT IS GOING ON

  • WHOSE SHIP IS THIS??

  • Jay's parents knew to come to a random abandoned ship in the middle of the desert to visit their son, apparently.

  • Oh my word I love them.

  • I love them so much.

  • What is on Ed's overalls exactly? Is it jam? Please tell me it's jam? Is Jay's dad a serial killer?

  • Do they live at a junkyard? That is literally my childhood dream. I mean, the cool stuff, not the literal trash.

  • I honestly love them though they're amazing.

  • How do you have all this stuff? You've lived here for one day.

  • What the heck is the wall-sized computer map? What year is it? I will literally never understand the technology at play here.

  • I don't know if they have enough headlights on that car of theirs.

  • Oh now we have a graveyard apparently designed for opening hell-portals. Isn't that nice?

  • Damn it, it's Lloyd.

  • Why

  • Why, Lloyd

  • Tell me why

  • Why do you exist?

  • Did he just summon lightning?

  • This guy's got two heads. Can everybody see that or just me?

  • He seems nice. Definitely not insane at all.

  • Why is Lloyd's voice the way that it is? Come to think of it, why is anything about Lloyd the way that it is?

  • Is Jay's dad building a mech??

  • Oh nooooo what is that

  • This has suddenly gone full-on horror movie and I don't like it at all.

  • Oh it's just Lloyd. The least scary of all possible things.

  • They--they bit--they bit the vehicles and they--they turned into monster-vehicles. WHAT IS THIS SHOW!?!

  • Ohhhh no don't you dare touch Ed and Edna I will fight you.

  • Jay is a terrible son.

  • Too bad the dragons are conveniently leaving and can't help the ninjas fight whatever the hell was going on with those fucking monster vehicles.

  • You guys don't have a car or something?

  • The snake-people locked Ed and Edna in a FRIDGE! They could have SUFFOCATED!

  • Noooooo they're turning into snakes this is terrible!

  • Just look at Lloyd trying to be intimidating. I'm so intimidated. Wait, no, I'm not. At all.

  • Can I just say, the venom may be able to turn anything into a snake, but the crane and the car thing are definitely scorpions, not snakes. Also, it's a crane. And a car. And they're sentient? Honestly I'm just confused at this point.

  • Oh, don't forget the radio ... that they ... made into a snake....

  • Can they--no. That's too much. No way. No. They fucking--they--their weapons--their weapons turn into planes.

  • Fuck

  • And that's a motorcycle

  • And a car

  • I just ... I don't know if I can handle this, guys. I don't know. They just turned their golden weapons into vehicles. Fuck. I'm sorry.

  • Good job, Jay. Of course the one guy whose weapon can fly is the one who makes it disappear mid-flight.

  • Have you even tested to make sure whatever you're doing with this ship will actually work?

  • Welp the ship can fly. It has jet engines.

  • Aaand you lost the staff. Well done, team, you accomplished exactly nothing.

I want to cry. I don't know what's going on anymore. I--I just ... It's only episode three, guys, I don't know how much more I can take. Just--just go. I'll see you next week.
