I actually really enjoy that it's kind of episodic and just pulling out all the old western tropes. This episode was the "poor town hires gunslingers to defend against bandits" cliche which has been going for decades, and it nailed it.
I'm not expecting much more than what it is, and it delivers on just giving me a really well made western series that just so happens to be set in that universe. The Star Wars aspect of it is probably the least interesting part of the show which is fine by me --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. It just wasn't what I was expecting. I enjoy the spaghetti western style.

New episode started off kind of silly with a subpar starfighter duel in media res punctuated by a dumb line but it improved significantly thereafter.

I honestly thought that was just a flashback to the Mando since it doesn't make sense for him to just leave her there without walking up to check on her just like the stinger.
Grand Kirby posted... Episode 5 is up. Newbie was definitely pretty generically written. He's a newbie bounty hunter eager to prove himself and acts out that trope in every single piece of dialogue he has. You can predict everything he's going to say or do before he says it and not in a good way. I feel like every episode has been the same way though. The bar intro scene, Mando meeting with his dispatcher Carl Weathers, the last stand against the raiders, the star battle.... Everything is just "take this typical trope and execute in the blandest way possible, but with a Star Wars coat of paint and the Mando in it" --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG ...

6 was the best episode yet. Yost is a better writer than Favreau for this show somehow. I'm not thrilled Favreau wrote the last two but I'm sure they'll at least be fine.

6 definitely solidifies this show enjoys an episodic approach. We've had three in a row and 1x02 was much the same. Some fans are not happy but by and large it appears the overall response has been very positive -- even more positive than I feel, in fact.

I actually like the mainline comic a fair bit and Im stoked that its entering the Empire phase. There are a lot of good concepts in there that Id love to see transformed into some form of TV media eventually.
But the Vader and especially the Aphra stuff is definitely better. --- Hi! I'm Quinton. Did you know that Emilia Clarke will be my wife in 2023? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just finished the final episode. Absolutely phenomenal, although the resolution for Greef and Cara was a little shoehorned. That aside, brilliant work across the board. Loaded cast, amazing, sparse writing. The music was insanely, insanely good, the cast extremely memorable. I'm totally on-board if this is the quality of work I can expect from these Star Wars/MCU shows.
Also, as a side note, the actress who played the Twi'lek bounty huntress is the first actor to play a character in Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and Star Wars. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful ... Copied to Clipboard!
