We also probably won’t see his face, as Mandalorians, as several characters point out in “Chapter One,” never take off their masks.

Also possible that the not-on-the-up-and-up bounty was available, and so off the books, in part because there was another actually above-board bounty already assigned. And certainly to some degree Carga isn’t entirely on the up and up since he provided our protagonist with a non-guild bounty hookup.

Yet another reason that the only canon Star Wars is Timothy Zahn’s EU Thrawn novels.

Yeah, it seems it took mere hours. I suppose it shouldn’t be surprising, Disney+ had an extended test period in the Netherlands so there was time for people in The Scene to figure out how to bypass their DRM, in a way that AppleTV+’s all-at-once launch didn’t provide.

I mean I was frankly just chiming in to point out that the do so with the pre-air reviews (not entirely sure how they aren’t “actual” reviews), I never claimed anything other than the pre-air reviews had it and in fact figured my sentence structure made it clear that I was illustrating that they did so for one class…

If they’re really smart they’d have announced two more seasons so we’d know it’d at least avoid The OA and American Vandal’s fate, but putting this much pre-data confidence in a show is probably already quite unsettling to Netflix.

Well there’s always that semi-secluded body of water frequented by seafaring brigands. (I’m curious to see how long the lag is with this service, between launch and availability of DRM-stripped files; for Apple TV+ it was a day or two before 720p files were floating around, and another day or two after that for 1080p…

The pre-air reviews mention where the shows are.

Well of we’re being specific, he didn’t say he was leaving the universe, just the galaxy. And the show made a point of bringing up his ability to be in multiple places at once, which seems meaningful. But yeah I’m with Dr. Boots’ List and KangatAOLdotcom, him still being on Mars is likely just a comforting fiction…

The comic book version felt a bit unhinged to me, but frankly all of the characters did.

I'm not sure it's that; I think it's more Lindelof luxuriating in the world. And hell, I can't blame him.

I thought (and hoped) it was Mars, but this episode kinda hit us over the head with it actually being the Moon—and although still very difficult to get back to Earth from is many orders of magnitude easier.

Huh, I didn’t know Kaine took up that mantle at one point. That being said, I have a perverse love for the whole clone nonsense and the alternate Peter Parker clones that have gone on to lead other lives, so I guess both? ;)

I don’t know what exact source was used by the folks that ripped the streams and made them available for piracy, but, uhhh, speaking for a friend they seem to be far, far better.

On the one hand, if there’s any company that’s going to be this dystopian, it’s gonna be Disney. Amazon has a head start, but I really think they’re in it to win it in the long run.

Even if this show really doesn't stick the landing, yikes, at least it won't be *that*.

After this episode my thinking that he’s probably on Mars has elevated to, 100% he’s on Mars.

Sequels continue to be stuck at a few years away, always a few years away still. The year will be 2047, Disney will have subsumed all other streaming services, all internet, and half of the continental United States, and the sequels will still be a few years out.

Very much not impressed with the service so far.

Yeah, but it has to be one Apple deigns to allow Apple TV+ to run on. I have a Shield TV hooked up to my projector, but there’s no Android app at all for TV+, much less one for Android TV.
