I don't think it's your attention span. By the time we got to the end of the flashback it felt like the end of an episode so I was like "is this it?" . And there are choices I don't understand -- for example:
why haven't we been shown more of the Rancor bonding? I mean I get there may have been an issue with Danny Trejo and scheduling but they could have done something without him. Also it seems like there were a lot of Boba Fett riding a Bantha through the desert (not just this episode but all of them). Do we really need that much? Couldn't we have had more time with Fennec Shand or like the Space Vespa gang and Fennec Shand and Boba Fett getting to know each other. And why was there a big Vespa/speeder chase if Fett could just jet pack there. I don't mind the space Vepsas I just want more .. stuff. more character stuff. It feels like we are getting a lot of talking head telling and not showing unless there is a special effect involved.
Also I haven't seen Attack of the Clones so I am not familiar with the actor but I'm wondering if part of this is I just am not into the actor's choices. or acting or something.
Yeah, I don't know about Morrison. I want to like him! But he's pretty lowkey, and not in an intense way like Ming-Na Wen. I don't feel the threat, particularly.
Also I'm distracted by his voice, because Dee Bradley Baker voices ALL the clones, so I expect his voice to sound different than it does.
Yeah he is so low energy and his face isn't very expressive. Which... I feel like I had more of an emotional connection with Din Darjin but I think a lot of that is the stunt doubles, esp Brendan Wayne and the body language that we get from him.
I'm not a big podcast person, but I've been listening to the Wheel Takes podcast's coverage of the Wheel of Time TV show and really enjoying it. The hosts are a husband and wife duo and Ali (the wife) is a professional screenwriter, so she has really interesting insights into why things are likely done the way they are on the show. (They both also absolutely love the show, which is a nice break from a lot of the super-negative discussion I see in a lot of places.) The episodes are divided into 3 parts: Show-only, show and books up to book 6 (which is as far as Ali has read thus far) and full series spoilers with just Gus (the husband) so people of varying familiarity with the source material can enjoy it.
All my news/law/politics podcasts stress me out. So I'm really enjoying this longass Clone Wars podcast, although I will be bummed out when I catch up with it.

I'm actually liking this more than the non-Margot Robbie parts of The Suicide Squad.
I still don't understand the pacing of The Book of Boba Fett. I feel like it's a lot of build up and episode filler to get to..something but not sure what.
We've had that option for a while, but it doesn't stick, so completely watched things keep popping back into the list.
Book of Boba Fett: I know Dave Filoni loves his unique characters, but my God am I sick of
Cad Bane.
I never really cared for them during The Clone Wars (they were just cartoonishly overly competent and got even worse as time went on) and would have been perfectly happy if they had been left there.
Also, Boba Fett seems to be the most worthless crime boss, ever. I really don't understand why this show exists. I enjoyed seeing more of the Tuskens' culture, but the show is just very weird and inconsistent as a whole.
