That’s really interesting, but I think the difference is that Guinness was one of the main characters while Jack Black was just cast in a distracting cameo.

I tried to watch Star Wars Rebels a few years ago and it had the same issue. Characters would just have a conversation out in the open with lasers hitting all around them and it really turned me off of the show. People can disagree all they want about the storyline, character motivations, what’s canon, etc but I…

“Shouldn’t we all uhh, maybe, have some of those?” - Mandalorians

Shadow Council - “so are we the baddies then?”

Poor battle tactics are really just par for the course in this show. When that “ship” was approaching after they first landed on Mandalore, one of the Mandalorians said, “flanking left” and then proceeded to just crouch behind a rock five feet to the left. And somehow he was still the smartest one as the rest of them…

Roy’s revenge story killed me. I loved how the show just let it go on and on. 

Zava posted a video saying he was going to spend more time with his family and his avocado farm. My guess is that’s the last we will see of him.

That walk hit hard and I briefly stopped paying attention to the show as I remembered having to pull aside a friend more than ten years ago to tell him one of our friends had just died.

Good to know, I’ll probably end up reading it eventually but at least I’ll know what I’m in for. Thanks!

It sounds like it would be, but it’s actually very much not like Moon (mild spoiler below if you want it). I read it a few months ago and it was ok. I thought it struck kind of a weird balance of high concept sci-fi and slightly immature humor (ala The Martian or Artemis). The ending felt really rushed too. I was…

The friends we make along the way?

“Would this blade then not belong to her?”

This seemed like a weird episode to introduce Jack. She had a great surprise bathroom introduction with Keeley but then never really did anything else the entire episode.

She somehow ended up perfectly cooked, like a turkey on the table of a Macy’s Black Friday ad. How could they NOT eat her?

The IRL Army actually has to take personnel safety into account. These Mandalorians were literally shooting at each other with flamethrowers last week...

Serious question: could “we the people” sue the Biden administration over the lease sale? If Biden promised no more offshore drilling and we elected him based off that promise, could we sue over some sort of breach of contract? His verbiage during the debate was pretty clear.

“The enemy of thy enemy is... me?”

But for an entire culture dedicated to being warriors shouldn’t all the Random Mandalorians be more formidable, especially since these are the ones who have survived? I understand what you’re saying about how some will be better than others and maybe Jango is in the top 5%, but I wouldn’t expect there to be this much…

I’ve been noticing more and more another drawback of shooting on StageCraft. Any time there is a group of people shot together, they take up roughly the same amount of space as the size of the StageCraft “stage” is a limited size. The Turtle Lake beachfront, the Nevarro refugee group (they even walk very slowly so…

The Mandalorians were certainly more competent in this episode than they were in the previous few, but they’re still not as formidable as Jango Fett was in the prequels like I think they should be.
