The Mandalorian S2E5 means a lot if you watched Star Wars Rebels.
And explains why Ahsoka is looking for Thrawn.

Risky just drew my attention to negative posts I made last year that I had completely forgotten. I didnāt remember disliking the show that much and watched the first two episodes this season. I disliked them too and stopped watching. I wish a few weeks ago me had remembered what last year me thought. Could have saved me an hour of my life.
Seriously tho, yāall do realize this is a childrenās show, right?

I havenāt read anything here for reasons you will understand, so if this has been addressed, I apologize.
New threads include spoilers and obviously thatās fine. But when theyāve been extracted they keep the people from the previous thread on ātrackingā status.
My point is Iām subscribed to this thread without any action on my part and I want to watch season 2 eventually without being spoiled. Is there anything that can be done to remove people from being subscribed to extracted threads?
Thanks but that wasnāt my question and tbf itās probably something better suited for the āhelpā thread.
I already changed my status. My question was can I not automatically be enrolled in a new thread based on an old one that I participated in.
Gotcha, yeah I donāt know about that behavior, Iād guess there may be an admin setting but probably no user override. On balance it probably makes sense to have tracking defaulted to on splits. Best you can do is probably click on the thread and immediately click this guy if you donāt want to risk scrolling over spoilers

I mean, The Old Man and the Sea, the Odyssey, most of the Marvel movies, Star Wars, Frozen, and much of this are all on the same monomyth plot structure, so, given the lack of boobs and blood in all of them, the distinction between childrenā and adultās entertainment is not all that clear here.
Itās Star Wars. You expecting something else?
And itās done well. Good as an encapsulated show. Also filling in gaps in the Star Wars universe story.
In semi-related news, found a good source for the SW: Clone Wars animated series. 20 minute episodes, no commercials. Half way into Season 2 (ep 30 of about 120). Quality is up and down, but is hitting itās stride.
Zikzak obv wirelessbro.

Sorry about that Goebs. If thereās a way for me to change that in future threads, Iād be happy to.
Your review was the closest to faint praise we may ever hear from you.
So, like, MrsWookie decided to turn on some random ass CBS laugh track comedies tonight, having basically never seen a one of them before. Hooooooo boy. Iām not sure exactly how high your standards are for TV, but there is a shitload of awful TV out there, and the Mandalorian isnāt half this bad.

I agree. I would much rather watch The Mandalorian than 95% of what else is out there. 12 year old me would have absolutely loved this show. But the writing isnāt strong enough for middle aged me to overlook how much of it is tired tropes and lazy plotting. Itās well done for what it is, but it isnāt well done enough for it to rise any further than that.

I donāt think any of the fans are under any delusions that this is some sort of perfect or historically relevant show, but I think most of the fans would consider being in the 5% as āpretty good and entertaining!ā especially considering that much of the rest of Star Wars production since ROTJ has been in the 95%.
Thought I was the only one with this opinion. Though I didnāt give the show a fair shot. The first scene was obvious badass walks into a bar, dumb locals threaten the obvious badass for spilling their drink, and surprise, he wrecks them. No twist or commentary just a straight up Mary sue scene from when I was a 13 year old playing d&d.

I feel like this post is a clarion call to the Hallmark movie people about what kind of Xmas movie to make next.

One thing that annoys me about the show is they donāt have Mando disintegrate anything anymore. It was great when he was popping Jawas like bubbles.
The first few episodes are all about taking a bunch of Western tropes and refitting them into the Star Wars setting. Although I think they kind of abandon this most of the way through the first season.
Man, I hated that bit. Jawas are adorable. Incredible action sequence, tho.
