S02.E08: Chapter Sixteen - The Rescue

Some of my thoughts.. 1) this show did something I never thought possible. It made Boba Fett a fun character for me. I always vacillated between thinking of him as a joke (beaten by a blind man with a stick) or an overhyped Gary Stu (cough cough karen traviss). They showed why he has the reputation he did in universe while still seeming to be well... a person. Kudos 2) anyone else now have a fan wank that the dark troopers were this timelines Cylons and Bo-Katan was gonna fly into a whirlpool then come back as an angel in season 3? Just me? Okay then... 3) I’ve wanted to see Dark Troopers in official canon since 1995. And despite not doing much they did not disappoint. Unless you’re very good one of them will WRECK YOU. Thankfully they had a Jedi there to help but... 4) a big part of me wished Kyle Katarn would have been the Jedi. But alas no. Maybe one day. but.. 5) making it Luke makes sense, and I think even with everyone calling “uncanny valley” I think they did a good job with the de-aging 6) glad they kept Gideon alive. The chance for Giancarlo to return makes me a happy camper especially if he.. 7) join up with thrawn for season 3, as a tie in to the Ashoka show maybe? It seems based on the back door pilot he’ll be her main antagonist. Having Gideon and Thrawn together would be... very nice. Especially if they.. 8 ) manipulate what seems to be a political power play coming in season 3. The orthodox Din faction using his victory over the wielder of the dark saber to try and make him a leader vs Bo-Katan will be an interesting season while we wait for Din and his true kid reunite, to ride off together in the sunset leaving politics and the Jedi both behind. Even with the wild cards that will be out there, I.e. thrawn (and hopefully Gideon) plus apparently the new crime lord on the block Boba Fett. all in all, a good season. Using the previous seasons world building in conjunction with the rich backstory of the Star Wars saga in place. -
Wasn’t it in the “antiques” store that also had the typewriter Harold took with him?

Well I guess we’re going with the MCU “time travel doesn’t matter for your original timeline cause whatever you do careens it into a new reality!” . makes it consistent. Whatever they don’t doesn’t impact the main MCU. Soon as they meddled with time travel they started messing stuff up in this new (apparently accelerated thanks to the chronicom) time travel. makes me wonder if they’ll actually get back to “their” time line in the end or they just stay in their new reality forever

Apparently you weren’t paying attention. The romulans provided the beam in coordinates, not Hugh. The romulans knew he was on board. The crew asked the romulans to notify the director that Picard wanted to meet with him. The entire point of the mission was to be open about their arrivals and initial meeting person.

No he hasn’t. He’s been on an enterprise that was becoming borgified in First Contact and he was going full captain Ahab during the process and that’s it.

Can’t speak to the other things but I have ADD and was diagnosed at that age with medication. No issues like her. honestly I see her as a classic bipolar with ADD , since I’m also bipolar (though that wasn’t diagnosed until later in life) unfortunately for her she doesn’t seem to a support structure in place to help her. Many people with bipolar sometimes try and self medicate to a degree, which, along with her dad dying, turned her into what she is. But the doctors providing ADD meds causing her problems? Nah... not really.

Well maybe they forgot about the fleet due to the iron islands being supposedly neutralized by their allies return to them?
-
They were flying for dragonstone. Not kings landing
-
Small FYI the ambush happened off dragonstone not at Kings landing
-
Well why would be worried? She was raised to think she was going to marry her brother and that it was natural to do so. Nephew sex isn’t that big of a deal to her.

I believe it’s Jenny of Oldstones an in universe song

Yes. Because those people rebelled against what was to them lawful authority. Which is my point. These people are acting out of what would be considered expected behavior in a feudal society. Dany is also expecting that the person who willingly abdicated would have people who would follow him since he was their king. Especially as she’s coming to save their asses from the zombies. If she shows weakness she’s lost.
-
No actually they totally should. That’s the point of a feudal society- you have allegiance to your lord, who has allegiance to their lord, all the way to the top king/queen/emperor. By their laws and their society and their histories, they SHOULD all be bending the knee and honestly Daenerys’s reactions to the side eyes are, in relation to this society, justifiable and very restrained. Plus the fact she’s coming in with tens of thousands of trained powerful soldiers and two dang dragons to save their ungrateful butts should provide a little respect.
-
Well... yeah. Cause the king abidicated and swore his and his people’s allegiance to her. For all legal intents and purposes she IS the Queen of the North, no ifs ands or buts.
