=Being Glargg=

Being Glargg is the 20th episode of the Disney animated series Space Chickens in Space. The episode first aired on November 25th, 2018.

Plot
Chuck falls into a dumpster that turns out to be a portal to Glargg's mind, putting Chuck in control. However, without Glargg's discipline, chaos breaks out at the academy.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Writing a torture episode for a character that already goes through a lot (Glargg) was certainly not a very good idea to begin with.
 * 2) * Also, it doesn't help that a few episodes later the writers would make this same mistake again.
 * 3) Glargg wasn't even that hard on Chuck in the beginning. His punishments seemed somewhat reasonable.
 * 4) The episode's main focus, apart from making Glargg suffer, is the jokes that revolve around making fun of Glargg's "butt-shaped head", which get annoying and obnoxious very quickly.
 * 5) It's overall a week parody of Being John Malkovich.
 * 6) This episode's comedy resorts to nothing more than butt jokes and gross-out toilet humor. Not only is it a weak type of comedy, but it is a sense of humor that's not appropiate of Space Chickens in Space and works out better in shows like Breadwinners and Pickle and Peanut. The scene when Glargg's about to blow up a pimple on the top of his head serves as a decent example.
 * 7) The animation is dissappointingly average for the majority of the episode.
 * 8) Various cringeworthy moments like when Glargg starts dancing in the auditorium and he eventually becomes a meme.
 * 9) The scene where Chuck forces Glargg to suspend all the academy rules and let the cadets do anything without consequences is immensely mean-spirited.
 * 10) The infamous scene where Glargg literally farts out of his head.
 * 11) Chuck is at his worst in this episode, he's far more unlikable than how he usually is, he acts mean and merciless to Glargg and gets little comeuppance for his actions.
 * 12) The mean-spirited and cruel tone of the episode feels like it will never end, as it is constantly getting worse and worse for Glargg.
 * 13) Underwhelming Ending: After the chickens help Glargg recover his confidence and the academy is restored, Blibli remains in Glargg's head and she makes him act like a dog until the episode ends.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The title card is decent and good-looking.
 * 2) Glargg, Starley and Finley are likable characters.
 * 3) Blibli's appearances are cute, and Ommm makes a funny appearance at the beginning of the episode too.
 * 4) The weird beauty shots and faces are, as always, hilarious.
 * 5) The moral of the episode is at least good, this being not to mistreat teachers because they are people too.
 * 6) Some of the jokes are actually funny, like Hugo and AIIA referring to Glargg as "Principal Butt-Face".
 * 7) Chuck at least feels guilt for his actions but it isn't enough to save him from being a horrible person.

Trivia

 * When Niven breaks a door and peaks through the hole, she screams "Here's Niven!", referencing the famous quote "Here's Johnny!" from the well-known film mh:greatestmovies:The Shining.

=Cadet Clarkk=

Cadet Clarkk is the 25th episode of the Disney animated series Space Chickens in Space. The episode first aired on December 9, 2018.

Plot
When Glargg loses his temper, Skyla makes him do empathy training. He goes disguised as Clarkk, and realises making friends, keeping his temper and staying out of trouble is harder than he thought.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) In the same manner with Being Glargg, this episode is no more than a Glargg torture episode, meaning that he is the punching bag of the other characters for the entire duration of the episode for no reason, with little to no characters feeling sympathy for him.
 * 2) Terrible attempts at humor primarily consisting of Chuck's butt jokes, gross-out and humiliating Glargg.
 * 3) While still fluid in some aspects, the animation is average and doesn't meet the standards of this show's usual quality.
 * 4) This is the only episode that tries to be hip and cool, resulting in...
 * 5) Tons of cringeworthy scenes like Glargg dancing Gangnam Style in his and Niven's dance battle.
 * 6) Chuck's selfishness got the best of him, for most of his screen time he just wants to be friends with Glargg for popularity amongst the students and to get an invitation to Piπ's party.
 * 7) The episode is extremely cruel and mean-spirited towards Glargg, taking every opportunity to make the cadets laugh at him for any stupid reason.
 * 8) * Due to this, the cruel tone of the episode never ends.
 * 9) Weak soundtrack if compared to other episodes.
 * 10) Terrible Ending: After Glargg wreaks havoc at the party, Skyla comes in and starts to chase and slap him with frustration, meaning that Glargg probably failed the training.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The title card is awesome.
 * 2) Hilarious comedy for the most part.
 * 3) * And not to forget that the weird beauty shots and faces never get old.
 * 4) The episode's premise was interesting at the very least, but horribly executed.
 * 5) Glargg's school days flashback was very sad and viewers may feel some sympathy for him.
 * 6) The chickens were the only characters that were merciful and friendly to Glargg, agreeing to befriend him and even defend him against the bullies, which was quite sweet.
 * 7) * Speaking of which, the message taught by the episode is good too: Always stand up for your friends.

=The Egg=

The Egg is the fourth episode of the Disney animated series Space Chickens in Space, the episode was first aired on October 7th, 2018.

Plot
Starley hatches an egg that reveals a terrifying Xenomorph that she lovingly names Clucky. When Clucky runs off, Starley runs after her, leaving Chuck and Finley in a state of panic.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Lacks the creative writing, charm and weirdness that makes Space Chickens in Space good, which usually never happens as all episodes contain their handful of imaginative concepts and remarkable good qualities, yet this episode fails at it.
 * 2) An alien that hatches from an extraterrestrial egg and slowly eats/kills everyone in the ship is an unoriginal premise that was already seen before many times.
 * 3) Chuck and Finley were very mean to Starley at the beginning of the episode, even if they apologized to her shortly after.
 * 4) Speaking of Starley, she acted very unlikable to her brothers and treated them badly only because of a joke involving a pile of dirt.
 * 5) It's disturbing that Niven and Finley essentially wanted to kill a baby.
 * 6) Handles a cheap overuse of gross-out jokes and scatological humor, which is not a common concept seen in the show.
 * 7) Inconsistent pacing, it can feel rather slow at the beginning and somewhat rushed towards the end.
 * 8) Clucky herself isn't a good focus character, considering she only makes growling noises and eats anything in her area.
 * 9) Unfunny and downright pathetic attempts at humor, forced jokes and uncomfortable moments like the Narcibelle scene and Glargg admitting he sent letters to Judith using his nasal fluids.
 * 10) It's an overall weak episode that never really had the chance to be slightly memorable, nor to reach the expected quality that could outstand in comparison to better episodes like The Good Guy Choice.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Pal malfunctioning while he talks was a passable funny scene.
 * 2) Good title card, sadly the same can't be said about the rest.
 * 3) Nice animation as well as the weird beauty shots present in all episodes.
 * 4) Chuck shows an admirable act of heroism when he uses his body to protect Starley from pain.
 * 5) Decent Ending: The chickens have their reconciliation and Clucky is returned to her mother, they are eventually sucked into space but luckily survive.
