And we thank them for it. I think.
Anyway, strobe light stalking moment FTW. Half-guessing these last two episodes will be a compact arc and I bet the 7th episode cliffhanger is Baby Yoda gets taken away by Giancarlo Esposito's character, but we'll see. (Reminder too that the next episode is on Wednesday.)

Cannavale's son wasn't *that* bad. he came across as a naive toolbag which is kinda what he was supposed to do. his biggest problem was that he acquired Hayden Christiansen-speech syndrome

The supporting players for the last few weeks have been turrrrrible. Like they plopped in from "Zeena" or "Breaking Bad" or something only this time decked out in Star Wars-y costumes/makeup but acting like folks who would serve you a burger/fill your gastank at a NJ Turnpike rest stop.What a dip in quality!(just watched Ep 6)

One of them was in Breaking Bad in a bit role actually.

the assassin tentacle headed woman in the last episode was SO. FUCKING. BAD. Like they let a LARP cosplayer on set by mistake.

kinda agree on her and on the general "this has not been good" vibes. Last two weeks have been lacking whatever secret sauce they've been using (could it actually be favreau?) Two more weeks to go though, right? I presume we're past the fill-in episodes.
lol that the NYT didn't have the balls to go with their online headline in the print edition for this front page above the fold half-page picture leading the arts sectionhttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/12/arts/television/baby-yoda-mandalorian.html

xp I have no liking for HP or GoT either. That said, I did like this last episode, particularly when Mando demonstrated why they needed him. They have used that gag of someone apparently shooting, but being shot themselves three times now, I guess it's a trope?

Fact that she was in HP and GoT kind of proves she’s a cosplayer. Like EVERYONE else in this...

I actually thought this last episode (in the prison complex) was one of the best so far. And I really liked the over the top Twilek performance.

wow that ruled.
if you'da told me one of my new favorite shows would have Gus Fring, Apollo Creed,AND Bobby Munson making appearances, I'd have told you that you were talking about Mandalorian.

Very good episode indeed. Chow two for two.
Yes, one episode left a week from Friday.

(And that episode is Taika's, so I'll be interested to see how he sticks the landing of the whole thing.)
This “droid” in Chapter 6 is the jankiest guy-in-a-robot-suit ever. Even his “robotic” movements are half-assed. And these other two-bit players... oy

This episode makes the last episode look like “The Suitcase.”
― I'm off Twitter, and high on life! (morrisp), Thursday, 19 December 2019 05:45 (four years ago) link
this show is really only good when Baby Yoda is on screen which luckily is most of the time. The acting across the board in every episode, even by people who are good actors (ie: not carl weathers) is stiff and weirdly off; maybe this is because the Mandalorian's lines are all dubbed in? There seems to always be an extra beat of silence.
that said the last episode was good.
also wtf Ming Na Wen is 57? Holy fuck. I went back and watched that JLo SNL after that where every sketch was about how hot she was and all I could think was "yeah but Ming Na Wen is 57!"
― akm, Thursday, 19 December 2019 14:11 (four years ago) link
in one of these episodes (maybe the last one? can't remember) someone flat out calls Gina Carano a 'human'. Have they used this word in Star Wars before? My son was like "WTF they're humans????"
― akm, Thursday, 19 December 2019 14:13 (four years ago) link
Yeah

haven't watched the latest episodeoverall, it's probably the most "video game" film/show I've ever seen, ppl say that a lot but I don't think it's usually true. but every episode feels like a mission/quest.it's been fun though I hope this all adds up to something

gus fring final battle is a good reveali do wish they hadn't killed REDACTEDwe have a very obvious chekhov's droid / baby yoda kills a dude sequence on the wayi don't see it adding up to anything more than a cliffhanger for next season but that's been the way of the film serial since the 1910's!this has been a naturally critic-proof and fun distraction from the end of the world, worth recommending in the way i would recommend that people eat Airheads: they're tasty and utterly nutrition-free but you're going to enjoy it.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 19 December 2019 14:43 (four years ago) link
This last episode was good
I figure that with Nick Nolte (can't remember character's name) shot, the IG-11 robot is going to come out to protect him and kill the two storm troopers who picked up baby Yoda and end up taking care of baby Yoda which will force Mando to overcome his droid racism and have a droid teammate.
