Episodes 1 and 2 and 4 and 5 are a bit slow and weird cause of the 3 episode story arc structure.

Maybe they should have built more attractive arcs. Episode 3 was the best so far because of the metal ball ceiling shenanigans but they could have put more into it.
Diego Luna sort of sucks balls so it’s hard to take him seriously. So glad they never made that Scarface adaptation with him in it… |

They definitely could have structured it better. The 3 episode arc from 8-10 is great, and also elements from the first two arcs start getting more integrated and retroactively gets you to like them more.... but thinking back on it now it is like "yeah, those were some slow ass episodes"

Watching Andor again.
It’s pretty impressive that Alex Lawther agreed to do this. He’s one of the best British actors out there and this is not his usual fare. |

Getting Doc Brown was good but no way was that difficult. I feel like Alex Lawther is a proper actor and getting him in a series like this is huge.

I stuck the Star Wars Holiday Special on for a laugh but I’m half an hour in and it isn’t funny at all…it’s creepy and weird.
Art Carney is chewing scenery but with false teeth. Terrible. |

I'm surprised you didn't like the Holiday Special given your love for Kenobi.

Friends aired for 22 million viewers as a 3 cam 22min sitcom with ad breaks. There's way way way more money in that. Its basically a stage play. The only cost is the cast and the set design... of which there were like 3 sets for the whole run. And with the quality of the show they were def saving by having hamsters write the scripts.

Meanwhile Mando has no ad breaks. Runs roughly an hour. Has cgi out the ass. Huge set and production costs. Location expenses. Plus the sub revenue has to be dispersed across all projects.

Episode where Grogu refuses to share his food with Joey.
Then for years to come we have the quote “Grogu doesn’t share food!” Everyone will find it hilarious |

Ross unwittingly gets pulled into a life-threatening mission with Mando.
Phoebe and Grogu get high on spice together by accident. They write a hit song together called stinky Bantha. |

Somebody described this past episode as "undercooked Andor" which I think is accurate. But it was still good. Not sure how I felt about the constant ominous music whenever Caine was interacting with Pershing--kind of gave away what was going to happen. But maybe that was the point?

I enjoyed the first couple episodes, but they didn't really hook me the way the series has in the past. That changed with the last episode. Some intriguing plot threads starting to form.

There was a lot of intrigue in this episode--and it suggests Mando will be a lot more like Clone Wars now, where we'll follow different characters and POVs instead of just Grogu and Din.
My only real knock against it is that Andor was much better at doing the slower, more considered story. There was a lot of good stuff going on--and I appreciated the added depth. This was far more ambitious than the previous two episodes. But part of it was rushed and hamfisted. It kinda felt like Vince McMahon was trying to write legacy television. Still gets a B from me and I look forward to where the story is going. |

I think the strength of the show is Din and Grogu adventuring. It's the reason people tune in. Veering away from them (even if we visit with them on episode bookends) kind of defeats the purpose
