Initially I just thought there too much on the nose dialogue, a completely unnecessary action sequence wedged into the middle, an awful mishandling of an extremely important character growth with him removing his helmet, and, really, just overall a side track of an episode that, to me, should have propelled us straight into the rescue arc. Literally everything that happened could have been shown in 10 to 15 minutes, and it could have then jumped us forward towards rescuing Grogu. Instead it was a speed bump following several fantastic episodes.

Whatever my revised thoughts end up being, one thing will remain consistent: the finale episode next week better be twice as long.

Agreed on the final episode. I have no doubt it will kick 9 kinds of ass.

Maybe you're right, but I loved it. I'm open to me being Burr homer skewing my perspective.

I think the strategy, right or wrong, is to let the audience catch it's breath some. I think the real important points can be washed out if the series is throwing 100MPH the whole time.

Maybe the week between episodes takes care of it, but I think that's what they're going for. And in my obtuse, dumbass, hickabilly opinion, it is the right play in the long term. It's frustrating when we wait a week, but I'm sure there are people going to buy D+ for a month and binge it. Hell I'm gooing to binge it, probably soon, and it changes the consumption of the story.

IDK, I'm probably a moron.
