Hahaha, not for me! Someone in here (don't remember who) guessed correctly all that was going to happen in Doctor Who S6 and it ruined it for me, lol. Same with some GoT theories. I love the 'ooooh' moment, that's why I love binge-watching finished shows, that way I don't have the time to speculate between episodes and eventually guess what's going to happen. But I'm weird ;)

Yeah, S3 was nice but I guess nothing much happened. Also the Mandalorian HQ with all the armour upgrades was super, super video game, and I enjoy those types of scenes less when I'm watching tv than when I'm playing a game. I did like the atmosphere and learning a bit more about the Mandalorian faith (I know nothing about Mandalorians or the extended Star Wars universe).

Also how predictable was it that he wouldn't be able to leave baby!yoda to its fate? But I loved it anyway :) Feels weird to get attached to a helmeted character, and I wonder how much of the show is based on unconscious participation from the audience, as in we know what PP looks like and we can imagine his facial expressions. Idk how I would react to it if they hadn't revealed who was playing Mando, for instance.

An irrational part of me had sort of feared him to make Power Rangers movements to make up for the lack of facial expressions. XD
Haha, thank God he's not doing that.

I don't really have any theories tbh, I guess it's because I know very little about Star Wars, considering (I watched all the various trilogies films several times + Rogue One once, but that's it).

While binge-watching is fun, I'm glad this show releases only one episode per week. I don't have any streaming subscriptions, but I was under the impression that streaming services release a whole season at once. But in that case you'd have to watch it all before you'd get to go online without being in danger of encountering spoilers. Which also means you don't get time to let early-episode events sink in, properly mull over them or speculate with others.

Yeah, it was good to learn more about Mandalorians, but I do get a bit tired of the helmet. Why would showing someone his face would bar him from putting his helmet on again? WHY is this the way?! I can't imagine a retional reason for it.

Sometimes I try to imagine PP's face under the helmet, but it doesn't work. 1. The mustache bothers me and 2. I've only seen stills of him, no idea what he looks like in motion (I'm guaranteed to have seen in on CSI, but I don't remember him).

Do you think we'll ever find out Mando's name? Or that the baby ever gets one?
