Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur- 09- Skip Ad…olescense

 

IN which Lunella invents an app that lets her skip the "boring" parts of her life, like cleaning the house, the rink and those sorts of things.  Lu calls it "Skipster."  The app has AI, and improves itself.  It begins skipping Lu's life based on Lu's previously chosen skips.  Lu realizes she is missing some important parts of her life.  She confronts "Mae" and ends up INSIDE the app.  They have a long discussion, and Lu is able to "skip" back to the point in time before she invents Skipster.  She then decides to live in the moment, per Casey.

Notice anything missing?  Yep, a really Devil-lite episode.  He is barely in it.  What a bummer.  Be that as it may, it is a fun episode, as well as fairly AI topical.  I do not like time travel stories, since there is always a lapse in logic that has to happen, in this case Lu remembering everything about Skipster.  I did like Dr. Mae Jemison being the voice of Skipster.  That was fun.  I get that this is a coming of age series, but I want a little more dinosaur action!
