We've learned more about the New Republic in this random out of place episode of The Mandalorian than an entire trilogy of movies.
-
I really like that the sequence with him trying to touch the mountain peak; her telling him about it, showing him something he wanted, him getting up the courage to reach out for it, only to be shut down by the 'authorities' which it was clear she was setting him up for; was a neat little episode-in-a-scene version of their whole story.
-
After Book of Boba Fett was interrupted by season 2.5 of The Mandalorian, The Mandalorian season 3 is interrupted by Pershing season 1.
-
This one person on the Andor writing team got lost and wandered into the Mando team for a day or something.
-
The subplot up until the mindflayer scene was actually the writer’s metaphorical depiction of what it was like for them to pursue a script of higher quality in a grey sea of corporate schlock, only to be betrayed by Jon at the last possible second and have their creativity forcefully sucked away just to satisfy Lucasfilm’s endless desire for more Mando.

I love that when we cut back to Mando; There's a scene outside the cave where he explains everything we already know and then a scene inside the cave where he repeats everything we already know. We could have just jumped straight to him handing over the water for the Armorer to test and nothing would be different. The scenes with the Mandalorian tribe are just on autopilot
-
Confirmed: Mando, a supposedly badass bounty hunter almost drowned himself. What an interesting character.
-
I will always find it funny how they have for some reason made Bo Katan a good person despite the fact she was introduced as a member of a terrorist organization that essentially forced Ahsoka into slavery in Clone Wars.

"hypothetically... If we held hands, ate lightbulbs, and went to the mountain top... Would you let me flare your brains out" - small arms space Abbie

Boba Fett: How does it feel when someone else steals an episode of your show, Din Djarin?
-
What makes me laugh, is that this episode confirms he wasn't dragged down, he just fell. So if that robot bug thing didn't exist then Mando didn't need Bo to be called in and the series would've ended here with him slipping over in a pool and drowning..
-
As many of us may have forgotten, Mando actually is capable of swimming, as seen in the episode where he meets Bo Katan, where he jumps in the water after baby Yoda and swims back up, only to be blocked by the grate. So, I don't even know how sank at all, let alone that fast.
-
I love the Empire Republic's new concentration Focus Facilities! It's a beautiful way for them to rehabilitate ex-Imperials and use their talents for good instead of for evil! Long Live the New Republic!
-
If Mando was a good show and he was hunting bounties every week you would expect that to be the introduction to a multi episode arc where he has to hunt the scientist down
-
"I'd have invited you over for a feast, but not if you won't take your helmet off." And that's how she eliminated the competition, by getting all the other Madalorians excommunicated.
-
Just realised Mando goes to Bo Katan saying he's gonna go to Mandalore and asks about the mines in the same system as Mandalore then goes to the outer rim where Tatooine is to get the driod then goes back to the Mandalore system 😂😂
-
That mountain bit kind of blew my mind. I love using Ecumenopolis worlds in Stellaris, and that little detail brought so many ideas to mind.
-
It feels like one of the Andor writers stopped by for a day while they were filming this episode and changed the second half. Jon wasn't in town to notice.
-
Having the highest mountain peak scene was really cool. It was unnecessary but sparks that drive to want to learn more about this world, there’s festivals and monuments that people attend and visit. And the scene sums up the story of the episode, she gets Pershing to reach out and do something he cares about just to get shut down by authorities
-
My largest concern with what happens next is the possibility of Doctor Pershing’s character being completely different next time we see him because the mindflayer was set to “make evil” instead of “make good” You know this show isn’t above doing that.
