Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! - All Paws on Deck

Season 1, Episode 3

Premiered October 7, 2015

Quickly

The gang goes on a sea cruise.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

The gang takes a trip on the ship of Fred's cousin Scott. Daphne doesn't have an obsession in this episode but she does have a feud with sea creatures. This Daphne subplot is not the best but it does pay off. Velma's afraid of water. Scooby and Shaggy are thrilled at the culinary options and the peace of the cruise.

Scott's in trouble. His cruise ship has been suffering from attacks by a sea monster. Velma overhears Scott arguing about the sea monster. Fred and Daphne are attacked but escape back to the ship. Velma tells the history of Bribery Bay through a popup book.

The dynamic of the ship captain becoming progressively grizzled and Daphne's feud with dolphins is a little strange. They're background jokes that get a lot of attention. Daphne eventually apologizes to the dolphins. Both jokes kind of pay off but they're not the best.

The gang takes the Mystery Machine into Bribery Bay. The van is attacked. They're forced to suit up. The design of their wetsuits is similar to the traditional suits in the series but with more detail and elaborate details.

They return to the ocean to catch the sea creatures (sans Velma). She stays on deck. The first plan to trap them fails. When the gang lures the sea creatures to the surface, Velma crane games them.

Overall, a solid episode.
