I love this.

That’s a real good point; the cops in Watchmen are other people when they’re not on duty, even if those other people are weird or broken. The Mandalorian is only The Mandalorian no matter what because the mask is his entire identity.

I honestly felt a little unsure about my purpose in life when I got your email. On the one hand I know all about your addiction and could have refused to help and possibly helped you get on the right path. On the other hand, now I get to read about another crazy adventure.

Sounds like the time the FBI brought Tom Clancy in for his description of the interior of an a nuclear submarine....... “who told you this?” “Just a good guess I suppose”
