I missed this one when it first aired, so the watch-along was the first time I saw it. And, yeah, so these Skagarans show up on late 19th century Earth, and abduct: - a bunch of humans - some horses - possibly some sheep and cattle - an entire Industrial Revolution infrastructure Sounds legit.

Here's a solution tree for a recent #Ablatonyms puzzle. This one's kind of fun because there are quite a few winning paths, but also a couple of nasty dead ends.
An Ablatonyms solution network, starting with the word "scarpers" and ending with the word "a". Each successive row of words contains words from the previous row, minus one letter. Green words indicate a path that leads to a single-letter solution. Red words indicate a dead end. The words in each row are:
scarpers
carpers, scarers, scarper
capers, carers, carper, scares, scarer
apers, capes, caper, carrs, cares, carer, scars, scare
apes, aper, caps, cape, cars, carr, ares, care, scar
pes, ape, per, cap, ars, car, res, are
es, pe, ae, er, as, ar
a
The words caps, per, cap, res, es, pe, er and re are red. The rest are green.

Yeah, I wondered about the Vader & Sidious thing, assuming they were plays on "invader" and "insidious". But then they came out with Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus, and I was like, "WTF is an inmaul or an intyranus? Jeez, try to be consistent in your naming conventions, will ya?"
