That was really well done. The wife doesn’t like zombie movies or video games and she was gripped. Really looking forward to the last episode. They knocked it out the park with this series in terms of casting and cinematography.
"The Mandalorian" season 3 has two episodes out now. The first was a fake-out and OK, but not great. The second was excellent.
Definitely agree.
Agreed. Very good episode 2.

This 3rd season is a little lacking in the background storytelling/writing department. Sorry rant inc.
*Spoilers*
Mando who hates droids and literally wants nothing to do with them is now knowledgable enough to jumpstart a destroyed droid? Random pirate encounter that didnt really add anything to the story. Send grogu to get help, and interesting creature with zero background story of its own waits for him to get back from another solar system before doing a blood transfusion? Second mandalorian is able to dispatch a bunch of monsters in hand to hand combat easily while mando got his ass kicked by the same creatures. Why can the other manadalorian wield the saber with ease while Mando is barely able to lift it off the ground? How did mando end up at the bottom of the 500ft deep pool unconscious just by stepping in and needs to be saved by the other mandalorian AGAIN who used a jet pack to jump in almost immediately and didnt get to him before he hit the bottom, yes we see the giant monster but if it was the reason mando was dragged to the bottom why didnt it not crush and kill him and why did it not do anything when the second mandalorian went in to save him? I feel there is constant plot holes and moments im asking "why?" or "how?'

@DownUnder yeah this is why I gave up on Star Wars, it's just nonsense. Yeah it could be entertaining but it's put together by people who I imagine have brainstorming session that only include "won't this be cool if they did this" Umm sure ok.
Was close to giving up on Star Trek, but Strange Worlds they did much better with.

I'll try, in order...
- He didn't get the droid going so apparently no, he can't. He just wants to get this particular droid that he can trust going.
- Pirates were a waste, if they don't come back. If they do, then this is set-up.
- Might learn about said creature. Might not. Weird bad-guys who come out of nowhere are a Star wars thing.
- Maybe Mando isn't really meant to wield the Darksabre? Maybe it's because Bo-Katan is a member of the royal family? Maybe we'll find out?
- Listen again to the prophecy, then watch that scene again.
I don’t know any backstory but regarding the pirates the girl said they used to live on the outskirts and since they’re still there alive the place might not be the polluted inhospitable place they once thought.

I understand the beast was "tamed" by the original so may not attack any mandalorians. But then how the heck did Mando end up at the bottom of the chasm faster then Bo-katan could jet pack there.
The darkSabre was wielded just fine by the guy Mando took it from though? And he wasn't royalty.
Seems to me that you already said the answer to that; The Mythosaur pulled him down.
The two people who you mention, who could use the Darksabre better than Din, have something in common. They're both leaders. One might well have been trained to use it and the other destroyed Mandalore to obtain it. Din ain't no leader. There's a mental component to using it, not just physical.
Last of Us was great.
Mando S3 is okay. Agree with @DownUnder, the last ep had a lot of WTF moments. The cuteness factor of Grogu is carrying the show right now.
If you are a fan of ST:TNG, watch this season of Picard. Pretty much all the TNG cast is back in this one, except for Data (who was there last season). Also Jonathan Frakes directing, so it's basically like another season of TNG.
Guilty pleasure: Physical 100 on Netflix. Like a real-life Squid Games. OMG, I hate reality TV and I don't watch MMA/Boxing/blah blah, but this one really held my interest, because it's got the Korean/Asian honorable code of combat, non-sensationalist, non-reality-TV drama vibe to it. Everyone so respectful of each other, no villains, lots of bowing... you want everyone to win. Very heartwarming TV.

Interestingly Bella's real life personality looks pretty close to her on screen character in LoU: "Ramsey identifies as non-binary and is indifferent to which pronouns are used for her, telling The New York Times, "I'm very much just a person. Being gendered isn't something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn't care less.""
