It’s just a weird, albeit delightful direction to go with the episode.
Yeah, that was kind of odd. It would be like an episode of Star Trek that featured no regular cast members except Spock, who showed up in the last minute.
I was actually a bit confused in the beginning because I wasn't really paying attention when it started. My first thought was damn, he really cleaned up his armor. :-) [Reply]

Mando shows up, and right away is 1000X more badass than Boba.
Largely, I agree.
Spoiler!
However, when Boba showed up on the Jedi planet and walked through a pile of storm troopers was absolutely fantastic. It doesn't get much more bad ass than that.

Nice to see Mando back in action, and DO WE GET MORE LUKE
AND GROGU NEXT WEEK? That would rock.
Seems like they're setting Starbuck up to be the heavy. Bummer.
And the fanatic Mandolorians kind of suck.

The first thing I said to my buddy who I watched it with was, "And that's why you don't become a religious zealot."
It'll be interesting to see what path they send Mando down now. There is definitely some meat on that bone. [Reply]

Admittedly,
Spoiler!
Seeing Mando go to the whatever she said "Underground pools of Mandalor??" Whatever that is, is sounds cool as hell. Sign me up for that episode.

Yeah, that's been dumb from the start. Why the hell wouldn't zealots of the same zealotry be able to show their faces to each other when they're alone? Do they fuck each other with their helmets on? And wouldn't it be ridiculously easy to infiltrate their group if nobody knows what anybody else looks like? Oh, never mind - THIS IS THE WAY. :-)
Also, apparently people who lived a long time ago in a galaxy far away never got rashes, sores, acne or greasy helmet hair. [Reply]
How does an assassin bounty hunter sneak up on somebody when your hair smells like wookiee taint? And how bad would the dandruff be on a stupid dry planet like Tatooine? You telling me Head and Shoulders is against my religion? That's bullshit, sir. [Reply]

Shit dude, that helmet does a fantastic wash, rinse, and set. [Reply]

I think they might have shown Din Djarin eating in the episode he took his helmet off? I think they were in a cafeteria of some sort if I remember right? [Reply]

I believe he had his helmet off looking out a window in the episode in the village and they have to prepare for an AT-AT attack? He was eating or drinking then??? Maybe??? [Reply]
Hdo you guys even watch the show, or did everyone else have a stroke and forget everything? Self-referential joke!
He can take the helmet off when he's alone he can't take it off in front of others.
It's a major point of character development when he meets Bo Katan and learns that not all Mandalorian folks believe this and then when he removes it in the imperial base to access the computer for Grogu. There's even a scene on the Razor Crest showing Grogu trying to peek under his helmet while he's eating or drinking something, to establish the poignancy of Din removing it for him when Luke takes Grogu away.
I liked seeing the Armorer forge the chainmail piece. It supports my speculation that the titular Mandalorian nay be Grogu and not Din. [Reply]

Yeah, I know. It's still stupid. I was hoping he'd come to his senses a bit when we met Bo Katan.
Can't take your helmet off in front of a non-verbal baby? How is that the way?
Love the show. But even the best shows have dumb aspects. [Reply]
