Are we sure the fleet is in orbit and not just hovering somehow?  They seemed to be barely above the clouds and stationary over the drop area.

Yeah, I thought this season made it very clear he could understand what people were saying, and in fact use speech when given a (crude) speech device.  So it feels to me like a physical limitation, or at least mostly.

We are mice as smart as people, we will kill you in your sleeple . . . .

To me it was interesting how the Armorer appeared to be consciously changing “the rules” of the cult in order to support an alliance that could take back Mandalore. As I read her body posture and actions, as soon as she found out Mandalore was still habitable, the wheels started turning for her, and she formulated the…

I’m just pretending to myself it is a safety feature where they can be intentionally shattered from the inside in case of a need for an emergency exit.

I think the in-show explanation for why the cruiser was so easy to take out is it couldn’t be properly defended by just one person without a whole crew. I got the sense they were trying to represent that with Axe trying and basically failing to activate the defensive cannons.

I gather I liked this season considerably more than some others.

I also wonder if there is more paper to come that will radically change Kerry’s apparent fortunes. I’ve seen people referring to the paper they found as Logan’s will, but that doesn’t look like a real will to me, it looks like the sort of thing someone might add to a will to provide some additional instructions. And…

Even though he was only a mention in this episode, I think that mention alone warrants Ewan (to whom Greg is supposedly talking) being somewhere on this list. As I pointed out in the other discussion, Ewan has a lot of formal power that he refrained from using out of apparent deference to his brother, despite…

Sold!  This sounds awesome, and I am definitely looking forward to Gilpin getting another shot to do something really fun and strange.

So my understanding of the call is not that it was telling her she was pregnant, it was telling her the results of her amnio.

They would definitely have to give it some time to build, but there are still six episodes left.

Yeah, it is a very long shot theory, but it has a sort of precedent in actual succession contests where the uncle takes over instead of the kids.

“A taxi . . . to the subway” was just so awesome.

I believe the paper they found is not the actual will, it was just in the safe.

Right, so why didn’t she just terminate right away?  She seemed disappointed to learn everything was fine, she has plausible reasons to not want to be having a child right now, so why did it get this far to begin with?

Definitely shows the virtues of fully committing to being silly and weird (see also a large percentage of sketches from Monty Python, Kids in the Hall, and so on).

I could be wrong, but at the moment I don’t feel like I could be emotionally satisfied with any of the siblings actually “winning” in the sense of clearly being permanently/safely in charge of the Roy family empire.

I don’t know if it has ever been firmly established, but I remember people in past seasons doing some deductions and figuring out she was apparently mid-to-late 30s (off hand I recall someone thinking she was around 37).

Yeah, that is pretty standard—a blood test or scan sets off a red flag of some sort, and then they do amnio which will reveal things like a serious genetic problem. But there are so many cases of false indicators that a lot of people these days end up with these moments where the screening indicates a possible…
