    Super good start to season 2, although the plot is definitely ripped right out of a dozen or so 'natives and cowboys team up to defeat _____' westerns.

    Olyphant as Vanth was a good pick, but they didn't really develop the character much beyond the do-good marshal aspect.

    The greater Krayt Dragon was pretty cool, although it doesn't really look like the skeleton from the OG. Perhaps a bigger subspecies I dunno.

    I really really really hope Boba shows up next episode, and they didn't bring him back just for a 5 second cameo, because that's a real waste.

    Baby Yoda emerging from a spitoon is going to be all you see on the internet this week.

    You know guys, if halfway through a season hasn't grabbed me, I think the show just isn't for me. I'm gonna leave y'all to enjoy your Star Wars space western.

    Another great episode, albeit filler-y. Was really hoping BY was gonna find a kyber crystal, but kinda looking like that wasn't Ilum.

    The Krykna are nightmare fuel and I curse Dave Filoni for coming up with them in Rebels.

    So I liked the action portions of the episode, but it was 100% filler. Did we really need an episode of "escort sidequest"? No. No we didn't.

    Baby Yoda is clearly evil. Eating poor froggys eggs is dark side stuff right there. :/

    I love how writers and animators can apparently do whatever the hell they want with… him? Her? Did we ever get a gender for Baby Yoda?

    Male. Mando and tons of others use 'he, him, boy' when talking about BY (including the Imp doctor guy who I feel like would know if he's doing medical evaluations).

    Bo-Katan is a fucking BAMF. Katee Sackhoff didn't quite have the scowl down, but otherwise she did a great job.

    Kinda wish they didn't just name drop Ahsoka though. The moment would have been a lot more powerful if they had kept it a secret till she was on screen.

    I was curious how they planned to reconcile what we knew about Mandalorians from Clone Wars/Rebels with what the Mandalorian believes (foundlings, etc.) and I liked how it turned out.

    The idea of Mando being some offshoot of Death Watch is a nice reveal. It also sets up a brand new emotional conflict for future episodes/seasons


    I feel like they teased it with the trailer + a lot of the Mandolorian audience watches Clone Wars/Rebels and def knows the Jedi that Bo-Katan comes into contact with. Even if they hadn't name dropped, most people would know who it was and it'd feel like holding the moment just so that they can say they held the moment.

    ....

    So that happened. The Empire's motivations for hunting BY are revealed. It was a good episode and all, I just hope we don't get bonked on the head with the now obvious ties to the sequel trilogy.
    Keep Palpy's ressurection looming in the background where it belongs.

    Dawson rocked Ahsoka. Her headpiece needs work, her fight choreography needs work, but in every other aspect, she fucking nailed it. Also, did yall spot Morai?

    Best episode yet.

    So to the uninitiated.... Does this mean that we may be seeing Mark Hamill at some point in this series? Unless there is any speculation as to who the other knights could be.

    Edit Baby Yoda has evolved into Grogro
