The Mandalorian - Season 3 (SPOILERS possible)

[McMetal]

Mostly loved it, from Emo Bo Katan to Sigmund &the Sea Monster Pirate Captain…

The only thing that struck me as contrived was the stuff with IG-11…dude, just buy a new droid. Especially after he woke up and immediately tried to kill Grogu. That should have put that idea to rest then and there.

I loved seeing the Purgills too…

[Rob]

Lot of set up indeed…. I thought the episode was pretty milk toast though.

[P-Siddy]

Pretty cool episode, I thought.  I have a couple questions, but obviously will wait for some time to pass.

[Matt_Fury]

Wow.

[Rob]

Yeah now we’re getting somewhere.  This one was cool

[Mister Skeezler]

I now kind of want Bo Katan to get the Darksaber back...she's awesome with that thing.

And I don't know who that little cyborg Russian Doll scavenger thing was, but he was a really great original design, which was great to see.

[Rob]

That was definitely on purpose.  They intentionally had him struggle with it before showing her do that.  This story line is hopefully setting up for Din to ditch the cult and her to get the Saber back. Maybe he abandons his nonsense and in exchange she abandons the idea that she has to battle him to have it. 

[Mister Skeezler]

Din and Bo Katan brandishing a darksaber while riding a Mythosaur would be 2023's undisputed galactic power couple. I'm not a fandom relationship guy or anything, but the thought made me laugh.

[Dave]

Solid episode.  I got a little worried when the first part of the episode had pod racing involved, but was glad it was just a setup and not part of the plot.

I'm too am hoping somehow Bo Katan and Din can work together regardless of who is holding the Darksaber.  I don't care about a love connection, just an ass kicking connection.

Its interesting to note that everyone calls him "Mando", but when he interacts with other Mandalorians he is Din.

[Nicklab]

The evolving nature of the bond between Din Djarin and Bo-Katan is interesting to see.  Bo is clearly at a low point.  After losing her followers because she didn't claim the Darksaber she seemed to be in a state of despair.  But it was interesting to see how Grogu snapped her out of that in order to bring her to help Din.  She very quickly reverted back to protecting those around her - Grogu, herself and Din Djarin.  And she seems to be opening up to his way of thinking.  Sure, it sounded like she was mocking Din for wanting to bathe in the Living Waters of the mines.  But the end of the episode made it very clear that the folklore was true.  As a result Bo-Katan seems to have been shaken to her core, and her cynicism seems to have been shaken.

SIDE NOTE - How is it that so many people think that Din got pulled under?  Call me crazy, but I think if you step into water wearing armor, you're probably going to sink.

[P-Siddy]

Another enjoyable episode.  Definitely have some questions that I'm sure will get answered in an upcoming episode.

I mean, I’d have to go back and look for a second but I don’t remember him stepping off and sinking, I thought he stood there for a second and then got sucked under.  Also, she seemed to be swimming horizontally under the water, not straight down to where he’d have sunk if he just sunk.

There’s a whole exchange in the new episode about the waters being deeper than before because of seismic activity though, so maybe you’re right?

[P-Siddy]

Could have been some loose ground and it collapsed under Din's weight?

[Rob]

Could be.  But to me it has to actually be shown on the show or said by the creators otherwise we’re just backfilling from the peanut gallery.

It's not that important in the long run, I figure.  It was just a way to show the mythosaur.
