Mando season 3

[Ryujin]

A friend's wife referred to this week's episode as "The Settlers of Bo-Katan" and now I can't unhear that.

All of these fights need to be choreographed by someone who has ever played an action videogame. All sides, in all of these shows, are terrible at actual fighting.

Yeah it's interesting - I feel like a lot of directors in their 50s and very early 60s right now are kind of the worst directors we've seen, like, since the 1960s, at directing action. I'm not exactly sure why that is, but it's peculiar.

I’d like to think it was a deliberate misdirect. I was expecting her to fly up through the clouds to discover that the fleet was under attack. But the ambush happened to the scouting party on the surface.

That was my thought. Since they had made a big deal about no coms tithe surface. I was rather hoping for big assed space battle as soon as she broke atmo.

It’s Star Wars. I need my fleet combat fix dammit.

Only a true Mandalorian can swing their hips in the armor.

Hopefully we’ll get it next week!

As for the no comms, I wonder if maybe that’s a “lie” too (like the poisoned air) and it’s actually that Gideon has some kind of planet-wide jamming device going. He could have even spread the rumors that Mandalore’s air is poisoned and that it’s got magnetic interference that prevents comms himself to keep everyone from discovering his secret base.

There’s gotta be some trick to it that not only enables Gideon to have Zoom conferences with his fellow Imperials but also detect intruders and follow them back to their neighboring homeworlds.

LOL. I did read somewhere that Katee said she had to practice walking like the animated version of her character does, with a bit of a swagger.

This is the sway.

Pretty good episode. Not great, not bad. I was surprised they killed off the big gun guy.

I don't think it would be all that difficult, really. Just a serious signal booster on the planet beaming a tight beam transmission to repeater stations up through the atmosphere. Daisy chain the signal up to a transmitter in orbit and you're good to go. Ships in orbit or ships on the ground simply don't have the means of doing this.

Well, they DO and normally would have the means of doing this, but, can't due to plot reasons. C.F. NUMEROUS episodes of Star Trek.

Yeah, Favreau killed off his own character.

Well, it's about the only other distinctly identifieable Trueway Mandalorian, if they want the audience to care about someone's death, the options are limited.
