The Flight of the Bucket

The Flight of the Bucket

The SS Watercress has seen better days. Its captain hasn’t been sober in a decade, mutant rats are plotting a coup, and the chief engineer keeps eating pills he finds on the floor. Still, despite the odds, the old bucket manages to keep flying high—just not as high as the captain.

For years, Cap’n Joshivia (Jerzy) S. Standard and his motley crew have cruised the space lanes in their rusty old bucket of a ship, the Watercress, trying to stay one step ahead of their creditors and the occasional (malevolent) space fungus. But all that is nothing compared to what comes next: their official safety inspection.

Though relieved to be finally heading home, the crew must contend with the crippling monotony of the long journey. Thankfully, a distress call provides a much needed distraction, but not without some risk. Also, the Computer accuses Gutman of dishonesty, and Zack reveals the secret to his supple skin.

The Cap’n devises a scheme to earn much-needed credits while the Computer threatens certain crew members. Zach claims a medical exemption for wearing pants, and Gutman experiences existential ennui. Lungz learns his bunk is not as private as believed.

Due to an unexpected pit stop, the crew discover they have some time on their hands. The Cap’n naturally starts drinking (to excess), Lungz reflects on his formative years (bleak as they were), Zach plays the slot machines (he thinks), and Gutman finally reveals the shocking truth as to why she left the pilot corp.

Season finale! After months of travel, The Watercress is almost home. However, the crew must contend with the heavy consequences of their past actions. Well, except for the Cap'n. He's just wanting to dance in the sky. So, is this the moment when Lungz steps up to save the day? Probably not. He's pretty inconsistent.
