I think the episodes are setting up that eventually Mando will have fewer and fewer places to go get jobs, the BH Guild probably are still out to get him and that’s probably why this episode unfolded the way it did.

I actually liked how they set up the Mando as the straight man to the gang. You put him in a group of stereotypical bad guys and he just sighs at their bullshit, then when they try to turn the tables he immediately demonstrates exactly why he can afford to not take their poo poo. It’s also satisfying after the first few episodes where he keeps ending up way out of his depth to finally have two episodes where he can truly show off the Mandalorian reputation.

If anyone listens to Tested’s “This is only a test” podcast, in yesterday’s episode either Norm or Kishore were just talking about how Mando is kind of bad at fighting. Cut to today where he John Wicks literally everyone

during the end credits I looked at the concept art and thought "Oh, so they were visualising Clancy Brown when they created the character." Then Clancy Brown's name popped up. I had no idea.

It's nice to get two episodes of our boy baddassing around the galaxy after getting his rear end whooped in four straight The poo poo in the hallway with strobing lights was straight out of Alien(s) 3: Resurrection vs. Predator

I've read complaints where internet dullards don't like how it's "formulaic" or whatever that every episode so far has someone gunning for The Child, multiple times an episode, forcing them to move on, but that's like the drumbeat backing the whole main plot. If they didn't do it it would be "well why doesn't he just take it easy since he found someplace he can lay low?" I'm hoping that the last two episodes are a little more interconnected. The actor they got to play the Imp Warlord big bad is just a treat and I hope they give that whole thing it's proper due.

Bibb Fortuna's teeth were jagged and kinda animal like. He didn't have vampire fangs.

Awesome episode. Reminded me a bit of Black Lagoon/Jormungand. Xian reminded me a bit of Boc from Dark Force II: Jedi Knight: Constantly hissing and definitely a few screws loose. The indignation in the "I WASN'T A STORMTROOPER" line was perfect. I love how with each new episode, the style can switch from Western/Samurai epic to action adventure to dirty merc work and it all fits.

This episode was shot like a horror film where the monster was Mando and I loved every second of it. Also while he technically cleared this level non-lethal he also blew up their home and killed their boss It’s a fucken good show

BIG HEADLINE posted:I never knew Twi'leks had vampire fangs. That's gonna spawn so much bad It was always kinda weird that Bib Fortuna and the sexy dancer girls from Jabba's palace were the same race. The early explanation was that the men looked like Bib and the women were arbitrarily hot but that's always felt sexist. I see these two bridging the gap and making Twi'lek beauty a wider spectrum. Also Bill Burr was loving great, maybe I had low expectations (as does he) but I was impressed with his acting even if he was just playing an amped up version of himself.

I love how the Empire basically underworld gangs now and the New Republic is The Cops, and they play a peripheral role as a distant authority that sometimes jails people and air strikes its problems away. Also I hope their plan was a little more subtle than "at the first sign of trouble, dispatch a flight of X-Wings to scuttle the transport." Or else poor egghead was doomed knife in the guts or not.

I know the “New Republic” moniker is a holdover from the old EU, but why don’t they just call it “The Republic”. Even if it’s an intentional rebranding effort, it seems like only egghead True Believers would actually call it that.

Distancing themselves from the flawed Galactic Republic, which just had a massive clone war and got rear end hosed by a sith lord and his obvious in hindsight mustache twirling.

How long can you call it the New Republic though? Seems at a certain point that's an issue that would need to be addressed.

Right, I get why they call themselves that, but not why a bunch of jaded outer rimmers would go along with it.

Not for sale anywhere, dude bought a magnetic levitation kit from Alibaba and 3D-printed the rest.

If an unregistered station launches an intercept at a New Republic IFFed strike team they are Remnant hostiles; permission to engage. if they don't launch they are well-disciplined clandestine remnant spies; permission to engage and destroy the probable listening post.

I'd be interested to hear from the posters who said this was dull. The complaints of this episode being characters wandering around empty corridors for no reason strikes me as odd. Genuinely interested here, what is your idea of a not-dull episode?

Best episode in a while. I really liked the horror element once Mando escaped. Plus it set up Bill Burr returning at some point and i'm happy about that. Very excited for the introduction of Gus Fring, i feel that's going to help stir the show back into the more serious, less adventure of the week tone I've missed since the first couple of episodes.

My company gives us "recognition points" that we can exchange for among other things a limited selection of gift cards. The Disney Store was one of the options and I basically grabbed on of every Baby Yoda pre-order thing because what the hell, it's fun money and I'm going to give my gal and son who both love the baby yoda (as we all should) "early bird coupons" letting them know they have merch coming in the spring. Anyway it was funny to me that they're limit one. I also got a big sandcrawler to use as Star Wars Legion terrain/taking Mando's rims.

Twi'lek Harley and her bro was a bit meh but it's still cool to see such straight up villainous BH ones. I don't think they were an item, just a lot of hitting on the Mando and being ignored, she has the actions of being previously spurned. Anyway, it was great to finally get to see the Mando live up to his reputation and take out a whole squad of droids by himself with nothing but his skills and gadgets after being beaten down so much in previous eps. That was such a cool scene! I also absolutely love how it turned into a slasher movies for assholes, complete with flashing red lights and being stalked by the enemy while creeping down hallways. The Bill Burr scene with Mando vanishing and reappearing with every strobe is a trope straight out of a horror movie and done so well. I just wish the Mando did kill them but I'm guess that fate is worst than death in the end and his petty rear end knew it.

Also, Disney X-Wing/Rogue/Wraith Squadron show now please
