I am a big fan of bluey and with season 3 airing in Australia, I thought I would do a breakdown of every episode with a small review, some spoilers, and any bluey theories that might pop up. Bluey season 1 and 2 hit disney plus two months after airing in Australia so hopefully, all of season 3 will be out for everyone soon!

I was diagnosed with PTSD several years ago, as an effect of surgeries and such I have experienced as a young child (8 surgeries in the span of 10 years, I nearly died at the age of 11 from one of those surgeries) and one thing that I learned through trying to cope with PTSD is the smallest thing can be considered traumatic to a child, so maybe he was traumatized and when he was able to look at the memory in full, it wasn't as bad as his brain thought it was, so the flashbacks to it can stop or slow down for him.

    Like a lot of space stuff the moon was named after greek mythology. Calypso was a nymph in Homer’s Odyssey that keep Odysseus trapped on her island. The gods intervened because he was not destined to stay there. So she gave him tools, food, and supplies to build himself a boat so he could leave. There’s some debate on what her name means, to hide or cover but some sources say it might mean concealing the knowledge

    One thing that really gets me is how children can end up traumatized just because of how they process the world, and how those feelings can linger. I've got plenty of my own trauma that I don't know where it came from, or why it stuck. It can get even harder when you grow up because you've just lived with it for so long and some of it becomes part of who you think you are. I think I'm not alone when I say that imagining myself back at Bluey's age, in Bluey's class with Bluey's friends and working out those issues is therapeutic. It's certainly not something you want to admit to strangers on the street who are going to look at you all bug-eye, but play for adults is important. Even if it's just in your head.

    Right as children we can be traumatized by things that might seem like nothing to others I remember an instance when I was really young I was playing a game with my siblings and they had done something to upset me in a game it was something stupid But it upset me as a little kid and I remember crying about it My parents basically told me I was being a cry baby and that it was no big deal And that just kinda stuck with me I feel as im a little older now I have difficulty talking about my emotions and it probably starts with that This is why it annoys me so much when older people call younger generations “soft” and say we’re traumatized by everything now adays when that’s not the case Children as they grow are developing themselves and they’re figuring out the world through their emotions You shouldn’t invalidate what they’re feeling

    In elementary, my mom would always pick me around the same time, except for one day in second grade. As the parents in the back carpool line were picking up their kids, I waited. The congested line was moving along without me. A few faculty left the parking lot, the line reduced to a trickle, and I waited. Hardly a car was left in the parking lot now, and my teacher was hoping each of the last few cars would be the one I was hoping for. It was definitely late after dismissal by this time, and I was crying as quietly as I could. I had no idea what happened to my mom. O couldn't think of any good reason why she'd be late, and didn't know if she would ever arrive at this point. This had never happened before. My teacher was about to take us back to her classroom, when a strange vehicle pulled up to the sidewalk and stopped in front of us. The driver stepped outside the vehicle and rushed straight to us, hugging me It was my mom. She was explained that our previous car had decided to stop working right when she needed to pick me up from school. She too was upset, but so relieved to have me back. I've always been weird about elementary school pick-ups after that.

Especially when Calypso says that Mackenzie shouldn’t keep coming to relive his trauma/ come back to the memory that triggers him.

    I like to think Calypso wasn't at the playground Mackenzie and his mum were at, and her appearing befofe him and telling him "You know what's here now. You don't have to keep coming here." is a representation of him getting over his anxiety caused by that memory, like how Chili's horse in Dragon sprouting wings and flying away is possibly a representation of her letting go of her grief over her mum's passing.

    Calypso's advice is helpful for all sorts of bad memory loops. For me, it's pet death. Sometimes I get stuck in guilt loops thinking if only I had had more money to take them to the vet, or if only I hadn't let her go outside, etc and it can be really upsetting even so many years after it happened. But thinking "I know what's here, I don't need to come back" helps to break the loop. No amount of guilt or what ifs will change the past, all I can do is learn from the past and move on to the future. Dwelling doesn't help anything

    I have a feeling Makenzi is a very sensitive child and that's why something like not seeing his mom at the bottom of the slide effected him so much. My oldest son is a very very sensitive child. He's always been clingy since he was a newborn and silly little things scare the living crap out of him and he always thinks that everyone hates him no matter how much you assure him or how there's no evidence of that. For example, he got in trouble at school for something and he assumed that his teachers and classmates all hated him now and he had a complete panic attack when he walked up to the school bus the next morning. But he's also the most caring and loving kid ever. Today I've been very sick because of an infection in my leg and without saying anything my oldest son tucked me into bed, brought me a glass of water, asked if I wanted some medicine, then vowed he'd go make me something to eat because I need strength. Kids like this are like both extreme ends. They love everyone around them so much but they also are terrified of nobody loving them back or thinking badly of them and silly little things can be blown way out of proportion in their heads and become a severely traumatic thing that they wouldnt be for other kids. Still trying to work on these issues with my son, its gonna take a long time, but he's making progress.

    Ouch, that hit so hard with your son getting into trouble and panicking because he feels like everyone hates him forever. I struggle with something VERY similar, the fear of punishment or a phobia called mastigophobia. I have had accumulations of bad childhood memories of being scolded or what I perceived to be such (I wasn't systematically abused, and had a good childhood but also really, really sensitive too). As a result, any slight yelling directed at me or indirectly, an angry/stern look, even a microscopic Hertz tone of voice change immediately makes me feel completely unsafe, deeply terrified and feeling like I'm actually gonna die.

    What you’re describing sounds like ‘Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria’, which is typically a symptom of ADHD but can occur without it. Basically any negative feedback or interaction with others can trigger a heightened emotional response. Some times it’s not even all that negative- like in school, being told you made a fixable mistake that the teacher isn’t even mad about. I’ve been on both ends of that scenario as a student and a teacher, and it’s gut wrenching when I see it in my students. I’m obviously not a psychiatrist or anything, but I thought I’d offer my two cents just in case it might help. Your son sounds like a wonderful kid that cares deeply for others, which can be hard when you feel things that intensely. I hope you both find ways to help him get through this ❤

I loved the ending and how they showed that Mackenzie was never actually abandoned. I can't help feeling a bit envious though. Not everyone gets that happy ending. When I was a baby, my mom abandoned me on the side of a road and never came back. Even though I can't remember it, I think my brain still has some trauma from it.I'm 17 now, and living a good life with a good family, but I still can't help but wish that my mom had come back for me.

    Watching this hit me. I was abandoned. Sent to an orphanage and thankfully got adopted. But I figured this happened. Also, when I first went to preschool, I remember mom had to leave me for work. I’d cry so bad. I was inconsolable. It took so long for me to adjust. I remember one of the teachers got me to make a fake beard out of paper to try and cheer me up. It worked. I also remember freaking tf out at nap time. Mom and I realized with hindsight that they were traumatizing me caz the cots reminded me of the orphanage. To this day, if I see that shade of gray, at almost 30 years old I’ll freak out. As a kid it was visible. As an adult it’s just this internal cringe. Voldemort in the first movie freaked me out at age 7, I wasn’t scared of him. He was orphanage gray. ET did it to me too when he’s sick n in the stream. To this day I can’t watch it. I rewatched Harry Potter as an adult and the cringe was still there. Once I went to get some vapes and I had to pee. So I used the bathroom at the store. It was tiny, with just a tiny tiny window . I started to panic, for real though. I had to remind myself I’m just in a bathroom not in Romania. Recently I watched a movie called I Remember Mama. Her child gets sick and she visits her in hospital. The movie was black and white. The cribs, the white-ish walls, it made me truly freak out! In a way none had before! For a moment I felt like I was still in my crib looking at the other kids. The mother sang to her child, and I started to calm down as she sang. Poor Mackenzie n me. I feel bad for those of us that never made it out. I was severely abused neglected and malnourished. I would’ve died if I stayed most likely. My true earliest memory I remember having some cheerios and looking to one side n seeing mom holding my Cheerios and on the other side my aunt holding my bottle. Mom said that was in Romania when they came to get me. I have a few active toddler memories. Not true active ones of the orphanage. Not until I Remember Mama anyways. That was a few months ago. I was in tears it was ridiculous. As an adult, I remember my babysitter Melanie did something truly awful. Mom stopped having her as my sitter after it. I didn’t eat my sandwich I threw it out so I could have more of our jello letters. But Melanie got mad about it. She pretended to leave me! Like what the fucking hell!? Didn’t she know I was a fucking orphan!? I realized she was hiding behind a tree because she came back for the cool whip. As an adult, I hate her for it. I had to get documents for a government thingy today. In the lock box where my mom keeps our important things, I saw some of my adoption stuff. I just read through it for the second time in my life. Interesting that this comes out shortly after that…

    When I first watched Bluey, I saw so many people being able to relate with certain things, (for example, Jack with ADHD, the little kid who is deaf in Turtle Boy, etc,) and I have anxiety, due to a traumatic event, which I cannot say what it was, but it had nothing to do with separation. I saw this episode of Bluey, and at first, I thought maybe Mackenzie had autism, as my brothers are autistic and often want to pretend to be ditched or they run off. But when you posted this video, it made so much more sense, and I now relate to this episode even more, with having the flashbacks of the trama that happened to me.

But imo, Bluey is so much more than a Tv show. Bluey has helped me with so many of my doubts and worries and it has really let me stop and appreciate everything around me. For all of you that suffer under peer pressure, just realize that you are in charge of you, no one can make you do anything. And if you are having any doubts or complaints, you can go to a loved one or even better… you can go to God in prayer or in his word. Just remember, He loves you and will watch over you always.

For a child, a moment truly feels like an eternity and Calypso was never there in that original moment, only the daydream in the present moment. He felt completely alone. Isolated like the horror of of being trapped in the silent void of space (like the play session itself conveys). It’s unimaginably scary in those brief but unbearable moments. As someone who has suffered anxiety myself for years (and I still do), I knew exactly how Mackenzie was feeling. It’s a truly horrible feeling being all alone with nobody to help you when you’re a helpless child. Anxiety disorders can last a lifetime even if the symptoms seemingly go away. It’s an awful feeling that can last well into adulthood. The feeling of abandonment. A feeling you can’t trust your partner or if they cheated. It’s a truly horrible experience. Nobody deserves to feel that dreadful feeling.

    Honestly some kids and people are just anxious by nature. Mackenzie is just one of those kids who probably always has that little underlying anxiety about things. Rusty is almost the polar opposite very little truly scares him and if theres a problem he just figures it out naturally by himself which is why the other kids naturally default to him as the leader of their friend group. Jack meanwhile brings his natural energy - the three of them work well together. I love how even in these short episodes each kid feels distinct and layered.

    Ah, I'm a 24 year old man who continued gardening after cutting the tip of my thumb off so I wouldn't shirk my chores, but I cry heavily when watching this episode; Between the genuine writing and the incredible musical score, I find most everyone can find those few episodes that simply strike a chord with them on a deeper level. (A childhood rant here, feel free not to read; One of the few times I had met my father, at about 9 years, I had said 'one moment' while amazed at a wall of toys, as I never went out, and not a minute later I popped off to find him, eventually leading to me leaning up and asking the kind clerk to call in for him before walking to the glass door and realizing he left without me, having then to go back and tell the clerk not to bother trying again as he had gone, I remember clearly trying to hold back tears to give her a reassuring smile. I am sure he had intentions of teaching me a lesson instead of calling me again but some children are made a little different, and to this day I am petrified of being left behind, including bounding out of the house, sick to my stomach, at the sound of an engine. 🙃 Think deeply about the meaning of your actions when you're aiming to teach a child something the 'hard' way instead of being a guide in life. Or they might seek closure from a colorful dog show.)

    I rembered feeling abandoned. It was a couple weeks ago actually. I was at a friend's house for her birthday party, & everyone wanted to listen to Taylor Swift, but I'm not much of a 2000's music fan. I usually listen to 80's music. So I felt abandoned since I wasn't able to listen to my favorite type of music. Woah. That made me cry.😢

    My daughter-in-law is currently in labour. I am with my 2-year-old granddaughter, O-Rex, watching this episode while her mum is in another room. The only thing stopping O-Rex from hanging off her mother right now is Bluey. O-Rex has not moved a muscle, even while we have moved her bed from her parents' room to ours. As for me, as a child abandoned by her mother, "Space" gives me all the feels. There is no show on the planet like Bluey. In the time it has taken me to write this, we're now on "Puppets". If I can quote Chilli, " Do you know the great thing about being a no-one? You're everyone." Classic Chilli.😂

    I truly think what happened was MacKenzie at the time because he didn't immediately see her, those two seconds before he did see her lasted so much longer for him, and he just *couldn't* hear his mum due to his panic and fear. His memory is obviously embellished a little, as the slide for example is much longer and more colourful than the one he actually went down, and I... don't personally think Calypso was actually there? I think it's another embellishment, especially with what she says. I think she's cemented herself as this safe person for all the kids who helps them with their problems.

    When I watched the episode I wasn't sure if this sort of trauma could be present through a misunderstanding of the cituation that got resolved in the moment. And, while watching the video I tried to remember if I've had this sort of trauma and it turns out I had. Quite recently actually. It's not separation anxiety, but to relate it to the episode helps me to empathize and underdtand Mackenzie better in this episode.

    I'm actually starting to believe that calypso is magic because of how she magically appears to tell Mackenzie that his mum is there, and how she appears all of a sudden to calm coco in the episode wild girls. Overall, this episode was amazing because of how perfectly it implemented Mackenzie's trauma from the past and how it teaches other people that have experienced this to let go.

As for earliest memory (super fun thing to talk about for this episode btw, really love that) was me waking up on the couch at home all alone not really knowing where I was. I would assume I would have expected to be in my bed but idk lol but I decided to basically run to get help and weirdly enough I just couldn’t recognize my family, like didn’t know who was sister was or my mom or dad or anyone that was there. I’m not sure why that happened but I remember being really scared. So funny that our earliest memories are the scary ones huh. Great video as always buddy 😊

I'm a 43 year old man, I'm tough as an old oak knot, I've seen some stuff and been through hard situations, nothing bothers me but I'll be damned that Bluey has gut punched in the feels harder than Mike Tyson several times.

    One of my earliest memories was visiting a small kid park in my hometown called "Safety City" so our class could learn road safety and it involved everyone getting to drive around in cool little motor cars on little streets that went around a little fabricated town. There was a point where I was at the back of the pack and all the other kids got through a traffic light but it turned red just as I rolled up so I stopped and it got stuck on red so I stayed there thinking I'd get in trouble if I ran the red light and I ended up sitting there so long that the tour ended and the teacher had to come get me. And there was absolutely no empathy offered to me for it. Nobody stopped and said "Oh this poor kid he didn't get to drive around like all the other kids let's let him drive around on the course a bit before we leave". Just yoinked me out to shuffle me on the bus so we could get back to school. I cried the whole way. Just one of many times I learned that not only is life unfair, but it will be unfair to you even if you are doing the right thing. You won't get rewarded for it because nobody cares.

    My earliest childhood memories all center around thinking my family left and was never coming back. I vividly remember waking up and finding out my whole family (Except for my mom) went to the store and thinking I'd never see them again. I had a lot of dreams growing up about being abandoned, but I never really considered how that event affected me as a child. So many things that manifest into childhood trauma are things that, as adults, would seem so silly, but as children are just...terrifying. This episode resonated with me on a personal level. It's so beautifully portrayed, especially as a subject that's rarely touched on, despite so many people having gone through it.

    While I don't think I've suffered separation anxiety, regular anxiety I do tend to experience when i'm in a place that feels intimidating. For instance the other day I was sitting in an administrative office waiting for my ticket number to be called; so I could speak with someone about getting my security number card replaced because I had lost it. In the hour of just sitting there I started to feel the intimidation of the place. Normally places like that wouldn't intimidate me, but this somehow did. If I had to tie this to an early negative memory I would have to say my parents divorce when I was 4. While I don't remember everything from that point it did lead to me to doing group therapy with other people on the spectrum; and meeting people I never thought I meet. Sorry if I got off track here.
