Spongebob! VIII: Aliens wear Boots

Episode 08a: Sandy's Rocket

So it finally turns out that Sandy is a scientist. Kinda makes sense since she is a squirrel who lives underwater. And to prove she is smart:

So there you go. The definition of science!*

*Not to discredit her, but I believe the notation is a bit off. Might need to check her work.

Oh, and she has a rocket to go to the moon where she has been before. And at the end of the episode it turns out she has an outer space capable jet pack. Hi-tech stuff!

Everything is going well, Sandy plans to collect some data on moon rocks and Spongebob whined and bugged her until she decided to let him come along. And then someone comes along. Who else but Patrick?

They end up accidentally launching the ship and think they end up on the moon, but actually the go around the moon and end up back in Bikini Bottom. Spongebob can explain this: the aliens have projected their [Spongebob and Patrick] memories on to the environment to confuse them. Or more simply:

I won't spoil the finale, but it is a great episode you should check out.

Episode 08b: Squeaky Boots

A Mr. Krabs focused episode, the first one of a few. He messes up on his daughter Pearl's birthday. Oh ya, this episode first introduces Mr. Krabs' daughter, a teenage whale. To my knowledge there is no explanation as to why she is a whale, but lets leave it at that.

So Mr. Krabs buys the cheapest shoes he could find for his daughter, a pair of black squeaky fisherman boots. I don't know why underwater creatures would have fishing boots. In one episode Sandy mentions fishing and everybody else is disgusted, however fishing gets mentioned by the other characters a few times throughout the seasons. Anyway, Pearl doesn't want them, so he tricks into Spongebob wanting them. 

And Spongebob really loves them and is able to do some cool shit in those shoes.

Mr. Krabs conscience starts messing with him so he hears the squeaking at home. He steals the boots which only makes matters worse.

Yes, Spongebob went all 19th century on its audience. The main demographic probably wouldn't get the "Tell-Tale Heart," but looking back on this episode I greatly appreciate it.

Not a very good episode other than that one scene though.
