There is a lot of pretty in that show. Agree on all the above. Nate's arc is just so painful to watch.

I found myself thinking "oh, right, soccer" while watching the trailer, which I find kind of funny.
Jamie Tartt! Roy Kent! Coach Beard! SAM! Danny Rojas! Rebecca and her fabulous hat!
YAY Ted Lasso is back!
I saw an announcement that Hannah Waddington will be hosting Eurovision (which is kind of Ted Lasso related, right?)
That sounds like an excellent match of host and event.
The Mandalorian 3.1: That was kind of underwhelming after the long wait.
Having Bo-Katan sulking alone in a giant castle because she doesn't have the Darksaber was a really weird plot choice.
Wolf Pack (Paramount+)
I was very impressed by Gideon Emery's performance. He delivered with excellent sincerity and to great effect what would otherwise have been merely exposition of a silly horror tale..
The rest? Meh.
I still wish there was room for some humor in the story. Oh, well.
Wait, so Emery was in this, but not as Deucalion?
The Mandalorian 3.2:
So are the Children of the Watch just that terrible of fighters or is Bo-Katan just that big of a badass ? I'm thinking it might be a mix of both since last season there seemed to be very clear difference in ability between Din and the other non-Watch Mandalorians.
I swear, members of the Watch, including Din, would all be dead a million times over if it weren't for their Beskar.
I was very cranky about how bad Din's tribe was at fighting the monster last week.
I think this week Bo-Katan was great because she has 20 years more experience fighting than Din (she's in her 50s), and she has used the Darksaber before. You could tell he was still really crappy at wielding it.
Loved the monster in this episode. It took me a while to realize there was a living being inside the various layers of droid.
And the mythosaur!
I think Bo-Katan has been bored; I think she's happy to have a job now, even if it's just keeping this weird naive cult guy and his cute kid out of harm's way.
