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.

I definitely knew it was Agatha when Tommy described her has “empty“. A short description of psychopaths

Seems like the kids only exists within the bubble as well? She warned them not to go passed Ellis Ave., and we see what happened to Vision when he left the hex.

If Bo Katan's true goal is uniting all Mandalorians, she will have to get the zealots on her side, and that's not going to happen when they find out Din, who was raised by them, got the dark sabar by the ancient rules of Mondalore.

Thanks for correcting me, I'll go back to edit my comment. This is the first of the Star Wars franchise I've become invested in.

The least Boba can do is help get Grogu back, since he’s the reason Grogu is gone. The whole exchange been Boba and Din could have been reduced, if he would have straight up answered Din’s questions: ”Are you a mandalorian?, ”Did you take the creed?”.

I know the show hasn't touched race. The show likes to write in a colorblind way, until they need a throw away joke(the time Wally referred to Barry as Iris' " white shadow"). Their use of colorblind writing and casting is how you end up with the tone-deaf Dominic storyline.

I was referring to certain comments made before mine, but my question could be applied across all TV shows and movies. The only way characters are accepted as being black, other than the physical appearance of the character, is if they're given racism as a storyline and then being reduced to a PSA.

I agree with you, they need to stay away. I have a question, " Why is the depiction of blackness only shown in relation to racism?". Black people, let me be more specific and use an enthic group, African-Americans are more than racism. We have been here since the inception of this country, and as much as they have tried to use intimidation and violence to beat West Africa out of us, it stayed and molded together with the European enthic cultural bonds and created a new people, a new culture. Racism is not our entire story, it's the lemons given to us and we made lemonade, and we continue to do so. And honestly I'm tried of the lemons being the only thing defining my people in this damn country and the media. Christmas/thanksgiving scenes are easy ways of showing who the Wests are culturally, someone randomly asking where the sweet potatoe pie, pecan pie, or anything considered soul food. Maybe Joe likes stinky-ass chitlins, and Barry and Iris remembers the first Thanksgiving Joe stunk up the house cooking them. My interpretation of 'Iris sleeping in a scarf' comment, for some black people that's cultural representation of a black women. We want more representation past our history with American racism. But for the writers to know the cultural practices of African-Americans, or any other enthic group in the African/black diaspora, would require them having a person on the team representing. I guess at the very least they could visit National Museum of African-American History and Culutre, but let's be real in the writers eyes the Wests outside of Barry ain't that damn important to the story.

It was from a mystery sender. Barry put his own finger prints on it when he opened the box. How did the other evidence end up on his person? I don't remember Barry having close contact with Devoe when fighting him?

This may have been the worst plot driven episode of television I have ever seen, and I once watched Scandal and The Walking Dead. Obviously the writers want Barry at the prison, it would have been better to have denied him bail and jail him until the trial. I'm the only one who thought Captain Singh was going to reveal he's the Flash?
