Thank you. This ep was a B at worst. Loved the last 15 minutes.

You know, I honestly don’t think we watched the same show. I’ve really enjoyed this season, as have my wife and son. I’m an old-school fan, they are not: so it appealed across the board. I’ve always enjoyed Zack Handlen’s writing in the past, but I feel he went into this show determined to hate it.

Uh, why are you assuming he’s a hero? “Main character”and “hero” aren’t synonyms. Furthermore, why are you assuming he’s not going to evolve in any way? After all, this is a franchise where the dude who killed a bunch of tykes became a saint by tossing an old guy down a reactor shaft.

I’m a big fan of older westerns (and the recent modern ones too), so to see a classic western story told in Star Wars form, hard to argue. And even better, it’s done in a smart and stylish way. And the music! The visuals!

I’m thoroughly enjoying it, the same poster that hated last weeks episode is here again, and hates this episode too, so it may just be something to skip for certain people, as it seems the show simply won’t please everyone. Nothing wrong with that, it’s not like people have to love or even like this series, it’s…

I would think the moral of that story is, don’t attack Madalorian bounty hunters, shit’s bad for your health. As for the beast? It was an attacking creature, driven by instinct, words and reasoning certainly won’t stop it.

The takes I’ve seen in this comment thread so far are, in my opinion, pretty seriously misguided. The casual murder fits in with the Mandalorian’s character as a bounty hunter: ruthless, violent in his problem-solving. It suggests a bit more of galaxy-wide racism (seeing Jawas as disposable pests moreso than living…

Correct, but again, talking specifically to centerhumperdwag14, and his reply that says “if we’re going to talk about Hillary’s X, then we should talk about Bernie’s Y.”

Bernie’s fake charity

Please. Sanders has been weathering smears like this for 3 years and counting but his base continues to grow regardless. I have no doubt the vast majority of black women are intelligent enough to make political decisions informed by more than a 2-minute video cherry-picked from a longer Q&A; I’m guessing most of them…

Around the same time he marched with MLK, Bernie was also conducting sting operations on behalf of CORE to expose racially-discriminatory housing practices. But I guess that probably doesn’t reveal as much about his values and character as the hand gestures he used when answering these questions.

Unlike, say, Hilldawg Clinton, a highly accomplished Senator who voted for the Iraq war and helped create more offshore tax havens for megacorporations and billionaires.

Wow.  Trolls get amazing wifi access under them bridges...

I’m surprised Bernie accepted a forum hosted by Joy Reid, who has consistently twisted and slandered his positions, policies, and campaigns. In response to the question about what he would do about the rise of white supremacist violence, he clearly states:

It’s not that weird. Yang and Buttigieg both have used alt-right language on the 2020 campaign and it’s only been like three months so far.

I’m starting to feel like we’re getting to a point where nothing is allowed. I mean, the context here, for example. She isn’t making fun of black people in any way. She’s trying to remain true to the character, who happens to be black. It would be one thing if she had done something deliberately offensive, but she’s…

The Borg already exist well before this point in the timeline so this isn’t their origin. The Sphere/Control may have access to information on them though which would explain the familiar looking nanites. But its use of them, and its mission, is very non-Borg.

DS9 firmly established a Star Trek type of offshoot - still clearly in the same universe with a clear chain of command, but not set on a ship, lots of non-federation crew members - and then worked from there. Hell, even Picard was in the first episode to give it a send off and help establish Sisko’s traits right off…

This show just doesn’t feel anything like Trek, no matter how many ST-trope balls the manatees drag out of the tank.
