It started off with 2 gay aliens on the run, followed socialist city under siege from a capitalist nazi grandpa.
What's not to love.

It seems like they need more episodes than 8. This would have been better as a 2 parter. With them helping the planet, which was to set up them getting representation for Mandalore in the New Republic, and then bringing the other Mandos back to the fold.

They weren't gay. The Quarren was female and the Mon Cal male.

I liked this episode. Y'all take TV shows way too seriously. It was an entertaining 30 minutes.

It was fine for me as well. If they took off the first 10 mins it would of been way better.

This episode will result in fish x squid erotic Star Wars fanfic now

It sort of felt like a cartoon episode in live action. Not horrible, but definitely not great. I did like how they actually addressed the audience question of why Bo Katan saving Mando after he lost the saber didn’t count - turns out it does. It also mostly resolved the Mando infighting so they can focus on the next big bad

"andor is such a great show, it's almost single-handedly redeeming all the awful things that star wars has done lately."

also

"this episode of mando sucked, this is basically just andor 2.0."

It was a fun, filler episode — but good god it felt like a 10 year old wrote this one.
The whole season feels like something a 10 year old would write. That pterodactyl episode was retarded and made no fucking sense.

"The kid got taken by a giant bird!"
"It's cool, I chased it down, then just watched it from the sky for a bit before heading back"

"Let's go save the kid!"
"okay, but let's not show any sense of urgency that he might get eaten"

"We're finally at the nest"
"Perfect, let's eat some dinner and have a snooze first"

I called that first episode. This season was for certain more targeted to young people as Disney says fuck off you old boomer fans.

They literally called the Mon Calamari a prince and was a guy’s voice and the squid alien had a woman’s voice

You’re welcome to dive deeper into the biological lore of those alien species on your own time if you want to really focus on this lol

definitely girl power the season between Spy Girl, Bo Katan, Lizzo The Fat, Armorer, etc but I liked this episode the best. Yeah its weird but it basically felt like Clone Wars II: Bo Katan's Adventures and while I'm not sure anything this season really advanced the stories of Din Djarin or Grogu it was fun to watch. I can't believe Christopher Lloyd is in Star Wars canon, or that we got a mention of Count Dooku lol

You do feel the hole Bad Batch ending leaves though, Mando has been kiddie and goofy while Bad Batch has been dark and depressing and the two balanced nicely.

I don't mind Bo-Katan getting the Darksaber and being the leader again. It makes way more sense than Din doing it. The Din character totally doesn't want that responsibility.

definitely not one of the better episodes in the series, but there were some pretty cool visuals and they moved the needle on advancing the overall plot a little at the end. Just hoping the last two episodes this season make up for what seems like a strange story choice this late in the season. Filoni cowrote the next episode with Favreau, so if its in keeping with precedent we could get Sabine then, or even better Fenn Rau . There's always a good appearance when Filoni cowrites or directs.

Only gripe I had was she should have already had it in the cave scene as everyone discussed here. The way he passed it off in front of all her ex tribe was a bit awkward and weak.

It was just a loophole that Din used. I don't think Bo-Katan would have taken the saber from him like that. Otherwise she would have challenged him by now.
