Mandalorian S2:E2 Chat (SPOILERS)

Not sure why everyone is so upset about it. They were unfertilized eggs, not embryos. And there were a ton of them. No one seemed to care that he ate a live baby spider creature in the same episode or a frog last season. Those were living beings. Not a bucket of eggs. She had plenty. How many kids does she need? Also, he’s a baby. Babies eat all sorts of things they shouldn’t. It doesn’t make them evil.

I actually loved it. Thought it was better than Chapter 9 I must admit. One of my favourite ones they've output so far.

Not a good look to go to a bottle episode in the 2nd episode, but we'll see how it plays out.

I think it’s good that Hungry Yoda doesn’t save the day with his powers.
On a different note, anyone else hoping for Thrawn being the boss of Moff Gideon?

Once they crashed in the ice cave, I lost some interest.

This is two less-than-stellar episodes in a row. I'm hoping for more, unfortunately. I guess my standards are just too high, because they aren't bad, yet they still manage to disappoint.

So far, season 2 is off to a great start. The first episode gave us a teaser of something to look forward to and this one gave us more of baby Yoda and his antics. This episode showed that Star Wars doesn’t have to always have a Galaxy sized threat. It is a stand alone episode with a good pace and flow.

Sure some people may have wanted to learn immediately about Boba Fett and his connection. His pay off will have his turn and I am certain Filoni and Favreau will knock it out of the park.

What was "less than stellar" about episode 1, iyo?

It’s good for a TV show. Unfortunately, most expect it to live up to movie quality story arc every episode. I think Game of Thrones has spoiled us to that type of epic story telling. It’s a lot more enjoyable if your expectations are that of a serial TV show, similar to Star Trek. I will say, though, that the spiders/facehuggers were way too predictable. We’ve seen that reveal about 20 times in Alien movies.

A bit of a non-plot episode but if you think that in the first season there were a couple of these (The Prisoner) which added but didn't develop the story. I liked it and I didn't realise the spiders were from Rebels - yes! The best bit was baby yoda gobbling the egg in the last scene - made me chuckle.

On a side, note, there have been loads of characters which have been Twileks - I wonder if they are gearing us up to a Hera Syndulla reveal? The spiders were a nod to Rebels and she was certainly around - well if you consider the Ghost being there in Ep XI!

I'd like to see the Fett pair up with Mando too - a here's your gear you muppet - oh you cant wear it! Nevermind, there's hardly any Mandolorians around now anyway type of episode.

If Baby Yoda is so keen on those eggs, does that suggest that he comes from the same planet?
