My problem has always been that once writers start creating a backstory for a character, they should at least attempt to narrow the parameters of that story. Sadly, in Skip's case, that doesn't seem the case. After establishing certain amount of ambigous backstory, we get slapped in the face with the dead fish of Skip's Story, which is arguably a good episode overall, yet fails to establish certain connections with previous allusions to Skip's overall background. While I remember my high school sweetheart, she was far from being something that I would have spent eternity thinking about. More importantly, the fact that Skips had not met the Guardians of Youth until the time he met Mona was a huge failure to create a certain amount of timeline cohesion.
