The Mandalorian 3.3:
I have no idea what they're doing this season. That wasn't an A and a B plot, that was two completely different episodes smooshed together and neither was particularly satisfying.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Think of it as a continuation of The Clone Wars, which also didn't have an overall arc, and would jump around willy-nilly. And it serves the same purpose as The Clone Wars, which is to rehabilitate the sequel trilogy, the way The Clone Wars rehabilitated the prequels.

Concur, Tom.
Listening to AMCA is fascinating: they're now jumping over S7 of TCW to do a few secondary sources (the Dathomir comics, the Quinlan/Ventress novel, etc), and then they will start on Rebels, and only go back to TCW S7 after Rebels is over. It's so wild.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I still haven't finished Clone Wars. I probably won't at this point, last time I tried to figure out where I left off I just got so lost I gave up in despair. Which is too bad, I hear it ended strong. Maybe I will figure out a way to be comfortable just picking up the last season or so at some point.

I binged Lockwood and Co. last weekend. It was good—I hope it gets another season.
SO GOOD. And you all should binge it and all get two friends to binge it to get two friends to binge it to get the streaming numbers up so that we can get a S2 and S3 and all the books are covered.
Ahem.
Also, then you should talk to me about my precious disaster muffins, as the average age of the fandom is "OMG, YOU ARE FETUSES!" and I want to talk about it with SOMEONE over the age of 30.

AMCA has a skip list.
It's been awhile since I watched, but I don't remember the Mon Calamari arc being that bad and I can't recall any redeeming qualities to "Bombad Jedi" so I'm having trouble figuring out why the first is "definitely skip" and the latter is "definitely watch."
Fully onboard with skipping the D-squad arc, though, because those were excruciating to watch.

Happy to do so! My usual watching crew should be assembled next month, and I'll suggest the show. Say, is The Screaming Staircase a good starting point, book-wise, or is this one of those series that is best started with book 2+? (Like the Aubrey/Maturin Novels.)

The whole series (it's five books) has an arc, so you'll want to start with book one. Also, if you can get UK editions, do so. Insert grumbling about the Americanization of non-American books written in English here.
