Regarding yesterday's Mandalorian episode

I feel like they are slowly working the story around to a point where Mando will reach a point where he takes his helmet off at will. We've already had Bo Katan and her crew removing theirs freely then the part of this episode where the need of the mission superseded his belief in the rule. I wouldn't be surprised if Pascal wanted more time actually on-screen and I wouldn't mind if it does go this way.

@RogerRoger yeah I agree it was probably planned all along and would have been sold to Pascal that way. I saw that trailer a little after finding the Andor one. Maybe I'll have watched the clone and rebels series before it launches. I've decided to rewatch the movie before the series because I think that might help. Watching the first couple of episodes I had to double check because the stories felt like I was starting something part way through.

@BearsEatBeets I should really watch Clone Wars as well, I only ever dipped in and out.

@BearsEatBeets You should watch Fargo. The first two series are excellent and the third is still pretty good.

@RogerRoger No problem, I have actually seen it before. I'm pretty sure I have it on dvd buried somewhere in the animation section of my collection. Unfortunately I remember next to nothing about it (not sure that's a good sign but I did buy though) so I'll re-watch it anyway.

@Thrillo If it's on Prime or Netflix maybe I'll give it a watch.

Is anyone watching Raised By Wolves? I think it's brilliant, no spoilers without spoiler tags please, I've only seen the first three episodes.

@ralphdibny Just saw the episode of The Flash with your non-Christmassy avatar! Season 5 episode 1 if I’m not mistaken.

And that’s another season of the Arrowverse done too! Supergirl and Arrow somewhat limped to the end, they both need a swift kick up the arse to be honest. I really liked The Flash’s baddie in season 4 though, he was a nice change from the typical speedster bad guy of previous seasons. Legends was the best of the lot yet again though, it’s just incredibly fun. I loved Black Lightning too, really looking forward to Season 2.

@BearsEatBeets Regarding the Alien series, which I somehow only just noticed, is it just me or do a lot of FX shows have this hyper macho vibe? Granted I haven't watched in a while so maybe it's changed but after The Shield, Rescue Me, Sons of Anarchy, Justified, Nip/Tuck, The League I feel like maybe I've seen all the testosterone-driven television I can for one lifetime so I'm really hoping the Alien series doesn't go down this road.

@nessisonett nice one! I didn't even know what ep it was from tbh, I just remember having to cut poor Cisco out of it lol

Who was the baddy of season 4? I think a lot of the shows kinda have the down periods around the middle seasons, it's somewhere in between them being new and cool and them being an old comfortable friend so they drag a little after a few seasons before you get used to them can no longer do without them!

@ralphdibny It was the Thinker, who had an extremely elaborate/nonsense plan but it was good fun! Arrow’s Season 4 was a complete car crash so good to see Flash didn’t do the same 😂

@nessisonett oh yeah thinker was a good one, great actor and he had a great voice. He always reminded me a bit of a younger version of Walter Bishop from fringe. Definitely a unique character and better than Savitar (even if I loved professor alchemy for his alter ego)

BearsEatBeets

@zupertramp I've not seen any of the programs you mentioned and to be honest I'm not sure what I've seen from that channel. I'll just have to hope that going by the rep of the showrunner that it turns out well. It sounds like it hasn't started full production yet so it might be a while until we can make any judgement.

I read a worrying thing in a preview of Wandavision, that the Marvel TV shows are going to be a lot more interconnected to the movies. Which is already making my head hurt! 😬

@BearsEatBeets And I've not seen Fargo or Legion so perhaps my worries are unfounded.

@RogerRoger Great to hear! Hopefully I’ll be watching it later tonight. I’ll try to drop some impressions if I have them.

And ...Reason 1 = Mando season 3.
Reason 2 = ...? Being rid of the dumpster fire that 2020 has been? 😅

Really good last episode of Mando. Not so sure of the ending myself, it was cool and all that but seemed a bit fan servicey for me. My initial reaction was to groan out loud, but maybe I'll warm to it. And oh my goodness the cgi was awful. I mean it is Cats level of bad. Almost.

Oh and make sure you watch until after the credits y'all....

@JohnnyShoulder I caught up on the last three episodes last night and had very similar feelings to the finale. And the more I think about it the less I like it but, oh well, I'm not that invested so I'll see where this goes.
