I hope the Darth Vader wannabe is truly dead. I enjoyed the season overall, but it has shown this show’s greatest weakness, the story it’s telling is too grand for the 30 minute, 8 episode season format. It leaves everything feeling rushed, the return to Mandalor needed one or two more episodes. The show runners would be foolish to put the show on a 2 year hiatus again. I believe what killed the ratings of this show more than anything was the wait and then they changed the scheduling to spring, when the show was originally winter airing. They should learn from network television, changing a show’s schedule kills it. Din Grogu!!! 🥰

I think Ava was listening to jasmine the episode she subbed in.

My take on the helmet it's a social engineering tactic from the early days of converting and adopting others into the culture, can't get catch up in the differences of the new people when all you see is another mando. I can see the rule falling away once time becomes a factor, mandos start reproducing amongst themselves, and there is less absorbing of other people into the culture.

Bo is indecisive about the tenets of Mandalorian culture she chooses to follow, no wonder the other Mandos, the non-extremists, don't want to follow her. To some degree they do buy into the culture, creed, and pageantry if her father knew to hold a public viewing of her "baptism". But she is so missive of it all.

The mythosaur was asleep, so I don't believe it pulled Din down. He just didn't expect for the pool to drop in depth, and he chose to go swimming a pint low on blood.

I thought this season was about getting to the magic waters, but no episode 2 Din gets to the waters, baths, drowns, passes out and misses the mythosaur. For all of Bo's pessimism she was starting to believe in the spectacle too, before Din drowned himself.

This episode has brought back memories of Book-it, Accelerated Reader, and personal pan pizza. Also my membership to Scholastics book club and my eventually upgrade in middle/high school to Blackexpressions book club.

I enjoyed seeing Courtney again, and Sidney letting out her inner-Disney Princess. I was hoping to see that level of continuity, now all I need is Will still dancing in the first grade.

Small plates, or tapas, are tiny plates of food that can get very expensive. The dining experience is based on tasting different dishes. They are marketed as being for foodies, or the very least people who enjoy food other than boiled chicken. So Gregory definitely wasn’t enjoying the experience at whatever tapas joints Taylor was dragging him to.

The flag smashers as the big bad is not working for me. I don't care for their political beliefs, and the show is not helping, this entire episode juxtaposed their “ One people, One world” against American’s methodology, “many people under one flag”. America’s isn't working, so why would the Flag Smashers’ theology work any better.

Hayward’s disrespect of Vision’s will has everything to do with not seeing Vision as a real man. To Hayward Vision is only a robot that needs to come back “online” with him controlling it. I'll also add that “will” in the legal document context isn't the only thing being disrespected here. The will to life and death, in Vision’s case peace in death is denied.

It’s too neat to be a teardown. It was the beginnings of a stem wall foundation.

West view before the snap must have been idyllic and sitcom-like, very representative of the marketed “American Dream”.

I thought I was getting out, but babbby I'm back in! I think this is the first time Marvel has made me ugly cry. I'm going to chop it up to suffering two major loses with in the last three months, and going through my own stages of grief.

Did the infinity stone wake up the mutant gene? And if so does the snap have an affect on the genes of those Snapped? I would like Hayward to die in a way created by his own stupidity. And I will laugh.
